Revnova Biofuels currently produces Used Vegetable Oil suitable for use as a Biodiesel
feedstock. We will also produce ASTM D6751 standard biodiesel for customers to
fuel their diesel trucks, buses, cars, tractors, construction equipment, and
generators.
As a university we are positioned to carry out studies on the agronomy and processing of potential biofuel feedstocks. Currently, we are focusing on sweet sorghum and canola as raw materials for bioethanol and biodiesel respectively. All data and innovations arising from our programs are disseminated to the residents of Virginia and all interested parties with the help of cooperative extension.

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.
DSIRE is a comprehensive source of information on state, local, utility, and federal incentives that promote renewable energy and energy efficiency. DSIRE is an ongoing project of the North Carolina Solar Center and the Interstate Renewable Energy Council (IREC) funded by the U.S. Department of Energy.
REAP offers grants and loan guarantees to farmers, ranchers and rural small businesses, to help them purchase renewable energy systems or make energy efficiency improvements. USDA Rural Development administers the REAP program, and potential applicants are encouraged to contact the Virginia State Energy Coordinator. REAP is a continuation of the program formerly known (prior to 2008) as "Section 9006" or the "Renewable Energy Systems and Energy Efficiency Improvements Grant Program."
