Tema do biodiesel abordado na Northeast BIOMASS Conference & Expo em Boston

(Notícia em Inglês)
Biodiesel will be one of many panel topics at the Northeast BIOMASS Conference & Expo in Boston, Aug. 4-6. One particularly relevant panel to the region, The Ongoing Pursuit of Biodiesel Production and Process Enhancements in the Northeast, will feature Don Scott, director of sustainability for the National Biodiesel Board.

Scott will address what role biodiesel can play in the Northeast to reduce fossil fuel dependence while providing jobs and economic stimulus for the area. Scott will also discuss regional-specific feedstock options, and what the future holds for new, alternative biodiesel feedstocks. He will also talk about heating oil applications in the Northeast; several New England states, and the city of New York, have either already passed biodiesel or Bioheat mandates, or are seriously considering it.

University students researching and studying biodiesel applications are the future of the industry, so University of New Hampshire students Rebecca Wilson and Gina Chaput are scheduled to present on their two independent biodiesel projects.
