Edward,
check out the USDA section on rural biomass grants, if your interested in dealing with the Govt. There is a lot of money out there for bio-based projects. http://www.bioproducts-bioenergy.gov/solicitations/solicitations.asp http://www.bioproducts-bioenergy.gov/pdfs/BiomassRFP2003.pdf Good luck Heath Local Energy -----Original Message----- From: Edward Mendoza [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 28, 2004 10:31 AM To: biofuel@yahoogroups.com Subject: [biofuel] 1000 Acres For Veg Oil? I have been talking with a local farmer who has told me that it would take at least 1000 acres of a veg oil producing crop in order to make the investment viable for the purpose of fuel. Can anyone here please give me some feedback on this? Also, we are a cooperative of folks who collect WVO for our converted diesel cars that run on 100% veggie. Does anyone have any ideas of how we could organize, finance, etc, a 1000 acre farm for veg oil fuel production? Are there any foundations, grants, endowments, govt. programs, etc that would help us get this started? Thank you very much in advance, Edward Mendoza [EMAIL PROTECTED] 707.537.7392 211 Hayman Court Santa Rosa, CA 95409 Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Biofuels list archives: http://archive.nnytech.net/index.php?list=biofuel Please do NOT send Unsubscribe messages to the list address.
