The Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) helped present
five partnered workshops on biodiesel and oilseed production during the
summer of 2006 and first months of 2007. These workshops provided
farmers, potential fuel producers, local governments, and others with an
overview on production of Montana oilseeds and processing the oil into
biodiesel. This site contains links to presentations, papers, and web site resources that were addressed at the workshops.
Ethanol Producers And Consumers (EPAC) is a non-profit organization with members throughout the nation who support the production and use of ethanol as a clean, renewable energy resource.
Great Plains Oil and Exploration (Great Plains) is committed to helping the U.S. become energy independent in an environmentally friendly way. We were founded with the purpose of manufacturing and maketing biodiesel produced from Camelina sativa. The Company is establishing a growing base and two cushing facilities in Montana from which it will produce and supply Camelina oil to its downstream partner and one of the largest biodiesel producers in the United States, Peter Cremer.
Since 1980, DEQ and its energy program predecessor, the Energy Division of the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation, have led and partnered a number of fuel ethanol activities.
Here they have compiled project reports as well as news and information concerning ethanol in Montana.
Montana Feed & Fuel intends to meet state-law mandated ethanol production by building a state of the art ethanol production facility.
Our goal is to produce 50 million gallons of ethanol per year using feed grains such as corn, wheat and barley.
This ethanol production plant will be located in Southeastern Montana near Miles City in Custer County.

The AgSTAR Program is a voluntary effort jointly sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the U.S. Department of Energy. The program encourages the use of methane recovery (biogas) technologies at the confined animal feeding operations that manage manure as liquids or slurries. These technologies reduce methane emissions while achieving other environmental benefits.
ATTRA - National Sustainable Agriculture Information Service is managed by the National Center for Appropriate Technology (NCAT) and is funded under a grant from the United States Department of Agriculture's Rural Business-Cooperative Service.
