The Clean Fuels Alliance Foundation announced Oct. 9 that it is now accepting applications for the Beth Calabotta Sustainability Education Grant.

 


Established in 2018, the grant aims to support student scientists dedicated to sustainable research offering a $2,000 award to a deserving recipient.

 


Applicants have the opportunity to highlight their involvement in various topics including biodiesel and renewable diesel research, development related to feedstock and fuel production, environmental attributes and general energy studies.

 


“This grant helped me continue in the development of a novel biodiesel process,” said Caleb Moellenhoff, a previous recipient. “I believe biodiesel will revolutionize the industry through its superior sustainability, efficiency and practicality. I was very thankful and excited for this opportunity.”

 


To qualify for the grant, students must complete an online application and include a letter of recommendation.

 


If selected, the recipient must commit to participating in Clean Fuels Alliance America’s Sustainability Workshop scheduled April 8-9, 2025, in Kansas City, Missouri.
