<blockquote> <i>"The use of vegetable oils for engine fuels
may seem insignificant today, but such oils may become, in the
course
of time, as important as petroleum of the present time."</i><br>

<br>
Bioenergy, led by grain ethanol and oil seed biodiesel, is an emerging
market for farm income diversification. Grains, grasses and other
fibrous crops can also be used as solid fuels for heat and electrical
generation, or converted to liquid fuel. <br>
<br>
This public forum will explore the current and potential pathways for
production of biofuels from Island farms. It will also provide an
opportunity to learn about the ADAPT Council’s new ‘Biofuels
Opportunities for Producers Initiative (BOPI),’ which provides funds
for investigations as well as technical, financial and business
planning of liquid biofuel production for transportation purposes.<br>
<br>
The Bio-fuels Workshop will be a 2-day, hands-on education and
demonstration event where participants will actually use a biodiesel
processor and learn to make biodiesel fuel to run diesel cars,
tractors, trucks, etc.<br>
<br>
Space is limited and pre-registration is required. (Priority will be
given to Island producers.) For more information contact the PEI ADAPT
Council office: 902-368-2005.
