The Collective Biofuels Conference brings renewable energy experts, enthusiasts and interested beginners together to discuss all things biofuels, with a focus on biodiesel. This is an evolution of the Collective Biodiesel Conference, which was started in 2006 in Colorado, and was last held in Washington, D.C. This is CBC's first time outside the United States, and it's happening in the spectacular Cowichan Valley! This year's Collective Biofuels Conference features 20 workshops on sustainable community-scale biofuels - from grass-roots initiatives to successful business case studies from across North America. Talks will cover alternative bio-diesel feedstocks such as jatropha and algae, Straight Vegetable Oil (SVO) conversions, the mechanics of maintaining a bio-fueled vehicle, running a bio-diesel gas station, technical aspects of safe bio-diesel production, and a business development workshop facilitated by our Conference Gold Sponsor, Vancity.
