NEW ORLEANS, LA Bill Carney, the AgCenter's environmental educator, says there
was standing room only at a series of workshops in June. The next
series of one-day workshops are set for July 29-31, with plans by
the AgCenter to host advanced sessions on biodiesel production this
fall.
The sessions come as the average price of diesel hit a
near-record $4.684 a gallon in Louisiana on Wednesday, according to
AAA and the Oil Price Information Service. That's nearly $1.87 a
gallon more than a year ago.
Carney says it takes at least $800 in equipment to make batches
of 25 to 30 gallons of biodiesel.
