Facts and Figures
A national biotechnology trade group estimates that advanced biofuel refineries could create thousands of new U.S. jobs within a few years, growing to nearly 200,000 by 2022. (Associated Press, 25 February 2009) http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2009/02/25/business/NA‐US‐Advanced‐Biofuel‐Jobs.php Biofuels have been around as long as cars have. At the start of the 20th century, Henry Ford planned to fuel his Model Ts with ethanol, and early diesel engines were shown to run on peanut oil. (National Geographic) http://environment.nationalgeographic.com/environment/global‐warming/biofuel‐profile.html Renewable fuels provide a major source of economic opportunity, creating green jobs and economic development. http://ethanolproducer.com/article.jsp?article_id=5399 A report released Wednesday by Biotechnology Industry Organization estimates that the full economic impact from advanced biofuels — renewable fuels derived from sources other than corn starch — could result in more than 800,000 jobs by 2022. (Associated Press, 25 February 2009) http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2009/02/25/business/NA‐US‐Advanced‐Biofuel‐Jobs.php The new loan guarantees will help enhance efforts to develop advanced biofuel technologies that reduce our dependence on foreign oil, lower our greenhouse gas emissions, and create jobs. (U.S. Representative Tammy Baldwin, 24 February 2009) http://www.wisbusiness.com/index.iml?Article=150144 U.S. energy consumption is expected to grow 50% percent by 2030 and biofuels must continue to play a significant role to diversify our nationʹs energy sources. (Food and Fuel America, 4 April 2008) http://www.foodandfuelamerica.com/2008/04/biofuel‐myths‐vs‐facts.html

In the Energy Policy Act of 2005, Congress enacted the Renewable Fuels Standard, which requires an annual increase in biofuels use to 7.5 billion gallons by 2012 http://www.energyfuturecoalition.org/biofuels/fact_ethanol.htm Renewable fuels provide a major source of economic opportunity. New green jobs will be created. Expanded production will equal increased industrial and commercial development. Perhaps most excitingly, renewable fuels will spark economic hope for our farm families and forestry sector ‐ which will provide the feedstocks for new fuels that we harvest, rather than extract. (MSNBC, 18 February 2009) http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29257007/ This [biofuels plant] could produce real jobs and a real stimulus in the next 30 days. (U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock, 17 February 2009) http://www.pjstar.com/news/x1284809455/Schock‐has‐eye‐on‐biofuel‐production “Through the President’s stimulus package, green initiatives will play a significant role in powering economic recovery. EPA’s portion of the plan will create good, sustainable jobs that help produce cleaner drinking water, purer air, environmentally friendly urban and rural re‐development, and reduced greenhouse gases. This is a perfect example of economic growth and environmental protection working hand in hand to the benefit of all Americans.” –Lisa Jackson, EPA Administrator http://biofuelsdigest.com/blog2/2009/02/20/today‐in‐biofuels‐opinion‐14‐studies‐have‐found‐a‐direct‐link‐between‐the‐ethanol‐scam‐and‐higher‐food‐prices/ Using figures developed by an Iowa State University study that concluded that ethanol is holding down the price of gasoline by 29 to 40 cents per gallon, the study suggests that ethanol directly saved the US economy as many as 200,000 jobs, in addition to saving the average US household $350 in annual fuel costs. (Biofuels Digest, 19 November 2008) http://www.biofuelsdigest.com/blog2/2008/11/19/bureau‐of‐labor‐statistics‐says‐150k‐jobs‐are‐lost‐with‐10‐percent‐oil‐price‐rise‐ethanol‐may‐save‐up‐to‐200k‐jobs/

According to the BIO (Biotechnology Industry Organization) study, most of the direct jobs created in the advanced biofuel industry would be in feedstock production, with construction, engineering and procurement rounding out the positions. (Associated Press, 25 February 2009) http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2009/02/25/business/NA‐US‐Advanced‐Biofuel‐Jobs.php U.S. biodiesel production is growing rapidly, from 28 million gallons in 2004 to 91 million gallons in 2005. http://www.energyfuturecoalition.org/biofuels/fact_biodiesel.htm

Training Schools and Programs
Academic Programs through University of CA, Irvine. The director and associate Director of the NFCRC both teach classes in fuel cell fundamentals as well as advanced tactics through the undergraduate and graduate engineering program at UCI. In addition, a number of UCI courses address issues specific and general to fuel cells. The NFCRC conducts a number of fuel cell-related courses and workshops including: Fuel Cell Technology Institute - a 2 day workshop Fuel Cell Course in conjunction with the Fuel Cell Seminar Fuel Cell Hybrid Tutorial in conjunction with ICEPAG, an APEP sponsored event http://www.nfcrc.uci.edu/2/ACTIVITIES/education-outreach/index.aspx

Fuel Cell Laboratory at Kettering University: Our aim is to produce more efficient and less costly designs for all facets of fuel cell implementation. The program also provides students and faculty with knowledge and hands on experience with the future of electrical power production. http://www.gmi.edu/~altfuel/fcmain.htm Stark State College of Technology – Fuel Cell Training Seminar http://www.starkstate.edu/fuelcell/fuelcelltrainingseminar.htm Fuel Cells 2000 Fuel Cells 2000 has compiled a ton of resources for students interested in fuel cell and hydrogen science projects, summer internships, finding information for research and papers, or continuing their studies in fuel cells and hydrogen in college or graduate school. For teachers, we provide links to lesson plans, experiments, grants, contests and other resources to help teach fuel cells and hydrogen in the classroom. http://www.fuelcells.org/ced/education.html Naugatuck Valley Community College ‐ Fuel Cell Certificate This program is a full‐time day program consisting of 5 courses, 3 with laboratory components. It is not an easy program but graduates will qualify to interview with FCE’s manufacturing facility in Torrington ‐ OR you may choose to continue at college. http://www.fuelcellsworks.com/Supppage3232.html Certified Biofuels Educator Program The American Biofuels Council (ABC), has launched the Certified Biofuels Educator (CBE) program to train and certify Federal, State and local government officials (Environmental Agencies, Fire Marshalls, etc.) corporate (fleet and fuel managers), and educators (High School and Secondary) as well as community volunteers in providing accurate and comprehensive biofuels information. http://www.americanbiofuelscouncil.com/education_and_training Iowa Biofuels Training International

This is a course/program that has been approved by the IBTI Advisory Board. The criteria for the IBTI Certification is designed to ensure the individual who successfully completes certified training will be a more valuable employee to the Biofuel industry, compared to the employees without IBTI certified training. http://www.biofuelstraining.org/ James Madison University Biodiesel http://www.cisat.jmu.edu/biodiesel/training.html University of Idaho Biodiesel Fuel Education http://www.uiweb.uidaho.edu/bioenergy/ USDA Biodiesel Education Program http://www.biodiesel.org/usda/ Central Carolina Community College – 2 year biofuels program Since 2002, CCCC has been a leader in Biofuels education on the east coast. CCCC offers workshops, continuing education, and curriculum programs to suit the needs of students and industry. CCCCʹs focus on sustainable fuel production is at the heart of the program, offering students the opportunity to learn responsible and sustainable fuel production practices. http://www.cccc.edu/biofuels/ Certificate Program provided by Technology Ed Fuel derived from renewable resources present an attractive alternative to petroleum, with benefits ranging from reduced green house gases to reduced dependency on foreign oil. ʺBiofuelsʺ is a new course that provide students with an overview of the cellulose ethanol production process from biomass feedstock to finished product. The course reviews cellulose based biomass that can be pretreated and converted into biofuel. We also explore crop availability and pricing, fuel potential, case studies, and outlook for both food‐grade and non food‐grade crops http://www.training‐classes.com/programs/02/10/21027_biofuels.php Biofuels Program at Colorado State
