At the National Biodiesel Conference in Orlando the National Biodiesel Board announced the formation of a Sustainability Task Force. NBB Governing Board Chairman Ed Hegland appointed Emily Bockian Landsburg of Philadelphia Fry-O-Diesel to chair the 9-member task force. Emily has been active in environmental issues as a volunteer organizer of the Sustainable Biodiesel Summit; Philadelphia Fry-O-Diesel has developed patent-pending technology to make high quality biodiesel from trap grease, a true waste material.
Ed Hegland will appoint the remaining eight seats on the Task Force. To aid in identifying candidates that represent all segments of the biodiesel industry, applications and recommendations will be accepted through Wednesday, February 27th. Task force appointees will be NBB members. All stakeholders, regardless of NBB membership, are encouraged to recommend candidates. Nonmembers are also eligible for the advisory committee to the task force and welcomed to provide other input.
Please go on-line to read an open letter from Emily and learn more information on the application and selection process. We look forward to hearing from you; everyone is eager and excited to seat the Task Force and begin work to ensure the long-term environmental and economic sustainability of this industry.
