Hudson Valley Biodiesel Co-op 2006 

These shots are of the Hudson Valley Biodiesel Co-op, located in Cottekill, NY. Tbis is the second year we have formed a co-op at this location to promote the understanding of biodiesel and to work as a community to produce biodiesel for the co-op's members. One exciting aspect of the co-op is its relationship to the great Hudson River sloop Clearwater organization as well as its relationship to the Sustainable Resource Living Center where it is located. Through our relationship to Clearwater we are able to use their solar trailer to power our co-op. Tbis trailer provides the power for all aspects of making our biodiesel.

The Hudson Valley Biodiesel Co-op is located at the Sustainable Resource Living Center in Cottekill, NY.  This is the woodshed that is about to become the location for the 2006 biodiesel processor.
