[Sustainable-biodiesel] Sustainable Biodiesel market models

[Emily B. Landsburg]

Hi Andrew, 

Sorry for delayed response. Unfortunately I don't have any resources to
offer specifically relating to biodiesel...but perhaps you could borrow
information from generic studies about the value of local/sustainable
businesses and apply those to biodiesel businesses.

Resources might include the Institute for Local Self Reliance
(http://www.ilsr.org/) and Balle (http://www.livingeconomies.org/).

Emily,

I hope all is well in the sustainable Biodiesel world.  I wanted to let you
know about a workshop I am putting on in October regarding the expansion of
the Biodiesel market here in San Antonio.  Through this process (I have made
this clear to all those involved/invited) the focus will be on using local
resources for local transportation needs.  I have attached the original
invitation e-mail to this message.

I spoke with Annie Nelson and Kelly King at the Texas Biodiesel Conference
regarding what I am trying to do and I am keeping them in the loop.  My
question to you is - can you direct me to any good studies, reports,
factoids, etc. on the establishment and/or benefits of community-based,
sustainable Biodiesel markets?

Thanks for you help!!
