HOW WE BEGAN
The Iowa Central Fuel Testing Laboratory began as an offshoot of the Biofuels Technology Program created at Iowa Central Community College in the fall of 2006. One of the cornerstone features of this program is the student teaching laboratory and its many state-of-the-art instruments used for performing biodiesel analyses according to ASTM methods. We were approached in the fall of 2006 to assist in conducting the Two Million Mile Haul B20 biodiesel field trial with Decker Trucking of Fort Dodge, Iowa, employing both our instruments and students in the study. These efforts attracted the interest of several parties who collectively formed the idea of creating an independent fuel testing laboratory on the campus of Iowa Central. We secured initial funding through a state appropriation that provided funds for the laboratory casework and an initial round of instrument purchases. Additional funding was provided through a Department of Energy grant that allowed for additional instrument purchases and further expansion.
WHERE WE ARE TODAY
