Summer!

Welcome to the WVU Biodiesel Project's blog. We are currently out for the summer; however, we will reconvene at the start of the 2008-2009 academic year.

One of the most common questions that people have asked this summer to members is:

Where does the Project stand?

Answer:

At the end of the Spring 2008 semester, we presented a proposal letter to former President Mike Garrison and Dean Cilento (Engineering) that voiced our need for a space to house our production facility. With our design plans still in review, the Project's biggest challenge at this point in time is finding a space to house the production facility that will produce 120 gallons of biodiesel per week from the Waste Vegetable Oil collected at the dining halls across WVU's campus.



In summary, the WVU Biodiesel Project awaits the new academic year with great anticipation and enthusiasm for the future.



Until then, have a wonderful rest of the summer!
