The Biodiesel Bus' Maiden Voyage

Before we get too far into the new academic year, I did want to mention some of the great events that took place at the end of last academic year. The Conference and Events Office assisted with the Biodiesel Bus’ Maiden Voyage that took place on Wednesday, April 22, 2009.

A group of University of Rochester undergraduates converted excess fryer oil from Campus Dining Services into biodiesel to fuel shuttle buses. Following remarks from those involved with the project, faculty, students and staff boarded the Biodiesel bus for it’s maiden voyage around campus, with a stop at the biodiesel lab for a tour of its facility.
