Next Generation Scientists for Biodiesel

The next generation of science thought leaders are gearing up to lead America’s energy efforts. And biodiesel, our nation’s only commercially available advanced biofuel, is front and center.

Student scientists from Dartmouth College in New Hampshire to Oregon State University in Corvallis are leading the initiative. The group has formed to demonstrate and grow support for biodiesel among tomorrow’s scientific leaders.
