What is the Sustainable Biodiesel Summit?

The Sustainable Biodiesel Summit is an annual conference to raise awareness of sustainability and to facilitate the adoption of sustainable practices in the biodiesel industry. Industry professionals meet to exchange best practices, brainstorm ideas, and support each others efforts to conduct successful businesses in an environmentally sustainable and socially just manner. The Summit focuses not on biodiesel for its own sake, but rather as a means to realize greater environmental stewardship, shared economic development (particularly through smaller, community-scale businesses), and a stable, secure, self-reliant energy future. The Summit schedule and location correspond to the National Biodiesel Annual Conference so that attendees may conveniently attend both.

More about Sustainable Biodiesel Summit 2010

The seventh annual Sustainable Biodiesel Summit (SBS) was held in Grapevine, Texas on February 6th and 7th, 2010. Over 70 community activists, backyard brewers, farmers, and other passionate individuals came together to discuss the future of sustainable, community-based Biodiesel. This exciting event was held at the Cross Timbers Winery, a beautiful location in the heart of Grapevine.

This year’s keynote speaker was Bill Holmberg, long time champion of biofuels and sustainable new wealth industry.  Due to extreme weather in Washington D.C. he was unable to be there in person but gave his presentation via tele-link.

The Sustainable Biodiesel Summit would also like to thank the sponsors of the 2010 summit: Pacific Biodiesel, The Sustainable Biodiesel Alliance, The NBB and Organic Valley Farms. Thank you all for your support of this important event.
