Biodiesel Fuel Education Program: CSREES and the Office of Energy Policy and New Uses Solicit Applications for the Biodiesel Fuel Education Program. Biodiesel Education will address the need to balance the positive environmental, social and human health impacts of biodiesel utilization with the increased per gallon cost to the user. Applications are being solicited for Biodiesel Education projects that will develop practical indicators or milestones to measure their progress towards achieving the following objectives: (1) Enhance current efforts to collect and disseminate biodiesel information; (2) Coordinate with other biodiesel educational or promotional programs, and with Federal, State and local programs aimed at encouraging biodiesel use, including the EPAct program; (3) Create a nationwide networking system that delivers biodiesel information to targeted audiences, including users, distributors and other infrastructure-related personnel; (4) Identify and document the benefits of biodiesel (e.g., lifecycle costing); and (5) Gather data pertaining to information gaps and develop strategies to address the gaps.
