Biofuels

ISA's Strategic Biofuels Objective is to increase the production, availability, and use of soy biodiesel in Indiana. Building demand for soy biodiesel stimulates demand for soybean oil preferably from Indiana soy processing facilities.

Current Biofuel Programs: 

Hoosier Horsepower Colts Program

Indiana soybean farmers through the soybean checkoff are partnering with the Indianapolis Colts to educate Hoosier students and consumers about the benefits and importance of biofuels to Indiana’s economy through the Hoosier Horsepower program.

Pro Bowl Tight End Dallas Clark serves as the Hoosier Horsepower spokesperson. Clark caught 118 passes in the 2009 football season which earned $11,800 for a scholarship fund benefitting students participating in the Hoosier Horsepower program.  To find out more, or to download the lesson plans, visit: www.colts.com/hoosierhorsepower
