The workshops will be presented by Hoon Ge, president of MEG Corp. Ge is a chemical engineer with more than 35 years of experience in the petroleum and renewable fuel industries, including refining, additive formulation and alternative fuels. MEG Corp provides technical expertise to fuel distributors, fleet managers, end users and mechanics through education and technical support.
Biodiesel is a clean, renewable alternative to diesel fuel, typically blended into diesel fuel in varying ratios from 5 to 20 percent. &ldquo;More than half of the biodiesel made in the U.S. is sourced from soybean oil, which&nbsp;adds value to each bushel of soybeans grown, supporting local farmers and businesses in North Dakota,&rdquo; says Stephanie Sinner, executive director of North Dakota Soybean Council.
According to Rob Rose, NDSC treasurer, &ldquo;Fuel plays an important role in farming operations, and it has changed a lot in recent years. At the workshops, attendees will learn about common diesel fuel issues and how to prevent them from occurring. Biodiesel and renewable diesel have also become popular topics in North Dakota. We&rsquo;ll get a better understanding of both fuels and how, as&nbsp;farmers, we can support our own industry. We hope to see many farmers at these workshops.&rdquo;
