Northwest Biodiesel Network

This year's Forum was a carbon neutral event!

Thanks to everyone who made this year's Forum such a success! We had over 1,600 attendees, a record turnout!

Click here to see pictures from the event.

Attendees enjoyed making biodiesel, riding electric vehicles, learning how biodiesel can heat homes, and climbing inside biodiesel race cars. People had the chance to meet the farmers that grow the biodiesel crops as well as get questions answered by local producers and retailers of the renewable fuel.

People were able to engage with speakers from around the Northwest to discuss biodiesel and other alternative fuels, transportation options, and global warming.

See below for a complete schedule of the event.

Special thanks to the Stoneliegh Fund and all our sponsors for helping to make the Forum possible.
