Joining the Cowichan Bio-Diesel Co-op is a vote for alternative energy solutions. By supporting local renewable fuels like biodiesel, community members can change the energy landscape and reduce our carbon footprint. At the Cowichan Bio-Diesel Co-op, we believe that individuals can change the world, but only if we work together. Join the CB-DC in our quest to localize and diversify our community energy providers. With around 200 individual and corporate members from Victoria to Cortez Island, it's members like you that make all this possible. |
With the opening of our new community-scale Cowichan Biofuel Facility, our Green & Go biodiesel blending pumps, the recent International Collective Biofuels Conference, and future projects in the work, there has never been a better time to join forces with your local alternative energy provider. Start your journey to a more sustainable future today!
