Is a Bio-Diesel Refinery at Lewis & Clark Cost Effective?
Location: Multnomah County, OR Updated: April 28, 2010
Organization: Lewis and Clark College Sustainability Council Primary contact: Peter Vidito
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the feasibility of a bio-diesel refinery project on the Lewis & Clark by exposing the costs and benefits of a bio-diesel refinery on campus. Although on paper a refinery seems like an ideal project for the Lewis & Clark College community to undertake, in order to determine whether a refinery is in the college’s best interest it is necessary to understand what bio-diesel is, the investment and operational costs associated with small scale production, and the larger institutional and societal barriers that may restrict the application and implementation of bio-diesel and a refinery on campus.
