Facility

Monadnock Biodiesel Collaborative (MBC) is a 10,000 square foot showcase facility located in the picturesque southwestern city of Keene, New Hampshire. This facility will house the BBR refinery, a state of the art biofuel refinery that will convert yellow and brown waste grease from across New England into a minimum of 250,000 gallons per year of quality assured 100% biodiesel. Co-located with the MBC refinery, the Keene State College fuel quality and emissions testing laboratory, will serve to expand the college’s current fuel emissions and exposure assessment program, and will verify the quality of biodiesel produced by the MBC as a collaborative service and for other biodiesel refineries as a contract service. The fuel refinery and quality laboratory services will be self-sustaining. Not only will this venture be economically viable, but it will embody a "first in the nation" private/public/college sector collaboration that will create a dynamic environment where business, research, education, and community service intersect with the goal of creating sustainable practices, and improving public health and environmental quality.
