The MVU Biodiesel Project

About Maharishi Vedic University

 Maharishi Vedic University (MVU) provides government recognised undergraduate degrees in agriculture and management.

As Cambodia's only rural university, it caters specifically for rural youth who would not otherwise have access to higher education, offering free tuition and accommodation to students from all provinces. It is supported by the Cambodian government and the Australian Aid for Cambodia Fund (AACF).

MVU is generally under-resourced, and any income that may be generated as a result of this project will be a great contribution to the development of the university. Increased funding will be made available by reducing the current expenditure on fossil-fuel diesel. Additionally income will be generated by selling excess biodiesel and from the sale of the manufacturing processes by-products, i.e. soap, fertiliser, and glycerin.
