Workshops For B10

Friday, 13 June 2014 00:00

The American Lung Association of Minnesota is hosting a series of workshops on B10 this month to help diesel retailers and farmers better understand the state's requirement for diesel and biodiesel fuel.

From July 1 to Sept 30, all #2 diesel fuel in Minnesota will contain 10% biodiesel (B10). Following September, all #2 diesel will revert to containing 5% biodiesel (B5). From 2015 onwards, B10 will be available from April 1 to Sept 30 while B5 will be available in the other months.

The B10 workshops, which will feature Hoon Ge of MEG Corp, will provide strategies for successful storage and use of biodiesel blends. Other guest speakers may include representatives from Weights and Measures and the Minnesota Department of Agriculture.

The workshops are supported by the Minnesota Soybean Research & Promotion Council and attendance for the event is free.
