National Biodiesel Board Executive Director Joe Jobe got the first general session underway this morning with condolences to New England Patriot fans. Being a Giants fan himself, Jobe was doing the happy dance for his team!
New feedstocks for biodiesel is really the main focus of this year’s convention, with the theme “Navigating a Changing Landscape.” To emphasize the opportunities, Jobe unvelied a Mercedes Benz C320 that runs on algae-based biodiesel developed by Solazyme. Solazyme hopes to begin mass-producing Soladiesel at a competitive price within three years.
