The Wisconsin Biodiesel Association (WBA) was founded in December of 2006. Its progenitor – the “Biodiesel Roundtable” - was created by the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) and a small contingent of Wisconsin biofuels educators, agribusiness interests, and business entrepreneurs. Their mission from the beginning was “to increase the availability, demand, capacity, and viability of Wisconsin produced biodiesel as an expansion of Wisconsin’s bioindustry.”
