Now is the right time for the United States to build a renewable fuel industry that does not rely so heavily on foreign oil. Following Europe's lead in this area, biodiesel is starting to make serious strides in the U.S. To follow the progress in the U.S. biodiesel industry go to the National Biodiesel Board website, or check out what is happening in Canada at the Canola Council of Canada website.

At Washington Biodiesel, also known as Pacific Coast Canola, we are focusing right away on the most pressing challenge facing the biodiesel industry in the Pacific Northwest: making available high quality, locally produced biodiesel oil feedstock.

We've assembled a team of proven leaders in oilseed processing and biodiesel feedstock and fuel technology to build a premium quality facility in the heart of Washington State in the town of Warden in Grant County.

Our partnerships and alliances create a powerful enterprise:

• Processing and refining technology from world leaders in the field;
  
  
• Feedstock supply and marketing outlets provided through the nation's largest farmers' cooperative, with a strong local presence;
  
  
• Research and development with the world's leading oilseed crushing and biodiesel technology companies;
  
  
• Construction supervised by the state's most sophisticated mechanical contractor.
