HCC
Students in the AUT 285, Intro to Alternative Fuels course took a class trip to
Blue Ridge Biofuels in Asheville, NC. Students were given a tour of the
facility with an in depth explanation of how commercial biodiesel production
operates, in both a fiscal and physical sense. Woody, the owner of Blue Ridge
Biofuels offered students a chance to come back for an internship as their
facility and market reach continue to grow across WNC. This was a great
opportunity to show our students how complex and regulated the production process
is when making over 350,000 gallons of biodiesel per year.
