Construction Zone
What was once just a humble concrete slab is now becoming the new home of Evolution Biodiesel. It has been quite hectic to keep up with the daily tasks of the business and the construction.
Our new shop!
What's more exciting than a new shop? Our biodiesel processors can now be manufactured off the grid. We have invested in two biodiesel powered generators, one for general electricity use (lighting, fans, etc.) and the other for the welder and back-up power.
One of our generators: single cylinder with 12 horse power
In addition to the green powered generators, we have installed a geothermal air conditioning system, and have made plans to integrate a grey water system for our garden, as well as composting toilets.
The beginnings of our geothermal air conditioning system
After some debate we have also decided to change our paint shed into our new office. Following some discussion on how to power our office equipment, and seriously considering pedaling stationary bicycles while sitting at the desk to produce energy (a good source of cardio AND power- too good to pass up), we decided on solar panels.
The office!
Now that all the major construction has been complete, it is only a matter of time until the official move-in can begin.... The idea of moving the equipment sounds even scarier than building the shop.
