The Biodiesel Initiative

The KU Biodiesel Initiative is a grassroots, student-run operation to produce biodiesel from used cooking oil generated on campus. The Initiative focuses on research, sustainability, and outreach.  It is our ultimate goal to meet the requirements of all KU’s buses, landscaping and maintenance equipment, and power generators on campus with this renewable fuel.
