Cornell Farm Services average yearly diesel fuel use: 12,000 gallons
Cornell Dining average annual waste vegetable oil production: 6,000 gallons • Currently pay $0.40/gallon disposal
Initial Goals • Work Hands on with Farm Services and CU Dining • Develop a pickup plan from dining facilities • Work in logistics for biodiesel processor setup
Why Is This Interesting To Me? • Waste aversion(Currently a lot of waste oil ends up in landfills) • Reducing carbon emissions(closed carbon cycle) • I’m personally interested in making Biodiesel • Cool factor
Initial Outcomes • Farm services biodiesel project on hold till Fall 2008 • “It s going to happen” • If you are interested in this contact Drew Lewis @all24 • Contact with Ithaca Biodiesel
New Goals • Work With IBD: • Attend meetings • Make biodiesel • Develop list of local restaurants • Possible summer internship
