Students Learn About Biodiesel

 

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.
