Growth is a biofuels project, focused primarily on the
production of feedstock for biodiesel and biodiesel
production. This project is funded through the
MAP-WIRED grant through the Office of the Commissioner of
Higher Education.
This project is designed to
help promote the opportunities for economic growth in
Central and Eastern Montana through value added agriculture,
particularly biofuels.
The objectives of this project are:
1) Provide
educational demonstrations on oilseed processing and
biodiesel production to interested parties of all ages.
2) Develop
curriculum to prepare students for emerging careers in
biofuel fields.
3) Provide
entrepreneurship training through distance education to
prepare individuals to participate in the industry.
