Iowa RFA To be eligible for one of the Biodiesel Backer Awards, Iowa K12 schools were required to educate their students and communities about biodiesel and incorporate biodiesel into http://www.iowarfa.org/educators.php
Extractions: IRFA Awards Biodiesel Promotion Grants to Odebolt-Arthur and Battle Creek-Ida Grove (OA-BCIG) and West Sioux Schools OA-BCIG has been using biodiesel blends since 2008 and used 10,205 gallons in 2009. The school district uses biodiesel because it reduces carbon and sulfur emissions and enhances the air that students breathe. In addition, it saves money in reduced transportation fuel costs, lowers bus maintenance expenses, and increases lubricity. Currently, West Sioux School District is using B20 in its buses from May 1st to November 1st and is pleased with the product. However, their greater accomplishment is the Agricultural Renewable Fuels class that has just completed its 3rd semester. The class was started to provide students with a basic knowledge and understanding of the ethanol and biodiesel industry. In the class, the students produce ethanol and biodiesel fuel that is run in laboratory test engines. The whole curriculum of the class is about biodiesel and renewable fuels. The students learn about world and national production as well as local activity and discuss emerging opportunities, such as methane, algae, and cellulosic ethanol research and development. The students are spreading the advantages and success stories of biodiesel by educating other students and the public about what they have learned.
