Entrepreneurship Education for Successful Bio-Energy Production Project


This project provides information and economic education about financial and entrepreneurship issues surrounding small and medium scale biodiesel production in central and eastern Montana.  To address these issues, the project staff from Fort Peck Community College and MSU (Bozeman) will provide workshops at locations throughout the WIRED region. The workshops will examine economic and financial issues related to oilseed production, oilseed processing, biodiesel production, government incentives, and regulations. The workshops are scheduled to begin in November (2007) and will be free of charge. 


Workshop Agenda

Each four to six hour workshop will cover all of these topics:

  • Oilseed Production
  • Oilseed Processing
  • Biodiesel Production
  • Byproduct Concerns
  • Government incentives and regulations

Many of the workshops will also allow time to highlight local bio-energy resources and activities.
