Abstract

During the fall of 2013, the Engineering 333 class was asked the question, “what would it take for Calvin College to operate a biofuel vehicle from campus resources?” The three primary considerations included:

  • Determining the optimal biofuel feedstock in terms of availability, transportation, and processing.
  • Selecting a biofuel vehicle for conversion or purchase to operate on the selected feedstock.
  • Designing the infrastructure and process required for operating the selected biofuel vehicle. The design and research described below proposes an environmentally sustainable and cost-effective method for integrating a biofuel vehicle into Calvin’s existing infrastructure.
