UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- When hip hop artist Drake brought "The Far Away from Home Tour" to Penn State's Bryce Jordan Center on April 9, college students got to take part in more than a party. They also participated in several events designed to raise awareness of environmental issues and promote sustainability.

As part of the Reverb Campus Consciousness Tour, the artist's tour buses and trucks were refueled with ASTM-certified B20 biodiesel fuel (20 percent biodiesel) in a one-hour renewable fueling event. Penn State was chosen as the first stop of Drake's national tour because of the University's pioneering work with biofuels.
