Mission/Goals/Objectives

2010 PREFOG Mission, Vision & Values

PreFOG Strategic Planning - Posted is a planning draft for members to review and prepare to discuss for the next meeting in October. These planning items were developed by the team of folks who committed at the last meeting to work on a draft action plan for PREFOG members. We hope you will review it and then the group can formalize the plan and make actions happen! Congrats to PREFOG for the excellent start and much thanks to Tom Cash for his work putting the notes and feedback together. Excellent format Tom! Thank you.

Biofuel Webinar

This webinar will provide a regional perspective on Advanced Biofuel Technology and current trends happening with biodiesel, cellulosic ethanol and biogas production. In particular, we will look at the evolution of biodiesel away from using virgin oil feedstocks and toward the use of waste fats, oils and greases.

Other topics for discussion include environmental considerations associated with the permitting and siting of biofuels facilities.

Presenters will also touch on their experiences in participating in and conducting NEPA reviews - http://yosemite.epa.gov/R10/HOMEPAGE.NSF/information/webinar-archive#biofuels.
