Biodiesel has the potential to bring greater environmental stewardship, shared economic development, and a stable, secure, self-reliant energy future to our communities. But recent industry trends like palm plantations replacing rainforests and imported barges of foreign oil – vegetable oil – are jeopardizing this potential. As a young industry, biodiesel is at an influential point to create an economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable industry for the long term. The Sustainable Biodiesel Summit is the only national annual conference dedicated to raising awareness of sustainability within the industry and equipping industry participants with the knowledge, tools, and support they need to operate in a responsible sustainable manner.The Sustainable Biodiesel Summit is organized entirely by volunteers and is not affiliated with any larger associations, trade groups, or private companies. The Summit is funded entirely through registration fees and sponsorships.
