LSU will be putting on one-day workshops in its AgCenter. Get there early because it’s standing room only and last time got filled quick. Dates are July 29-31.

Advanced biodiesel workshops will be held in the fall.

It will take at least $800 in equipment to make batches of 25 to 30 gallons of biodiesel. The fuel is made in those larger quantities, generally in about 48 hours.

A gallon of biodiesel can be produced from a gallon of used vegetable oil, and the hardest part might be finding a restaurant willing to provide its old oil.
