Peifer said making the fuel is a simple process
but is still viewed skeptically by farmers from
the area.
“You talk to a local farmer about biodiesel
and they look at you like you’re from Mars,”
Peifer said.
According to Montgomery, an education pro
cess is part of REDDI’s plan to promote biodie
sel in the state. This would include more work
teaching children in schools about alternative
energy.
“It’s proven technology,” Shearer said.
REDDI covers an area including Franklin,
Cumberland, Adams, York, Dauphin, Lebanon,
Lancaster, and Beiks counties, as well as part of
northern Maryland. It helped launch a corn
based ethanol-producing facility, set to be built
next year in Adams, York, or Lancaster coun
ties. If completed on schedule, it will be the first
ethanol plant in the Mid-Atlantic region, out of a
total of 70 in the country.
