Universities and research institutes teamed up to solve the technical difficulties involved in making biodiesel a viable fuel for us to use, and continue to work with the industry to solve problems and improve the process. The industry continues to grow at an astonishing rate! They have active research programs, and academic professional training at the University of Idaho: U Idaho BioD Ed. pg http://www.uidaho.edu/bioenergy/ and at Iowa State University: IU Biodiesel Home Page http://www.me.iastate.edu/biodiesel/ and there are many more across the country and around the world.
