Your cooperative is constantly seeking ways to save money and improve efficiency. One change we instituted this year is to switch from using single-use Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) jugs to using bulk cube dispensers at our fueling stations. This shift will save approximately $10,000 and eliminate approximately 1,500 pounds of disposable plastic waste per year.

DEF is a mixture of urea and deionized water that is used to reduce harmful emissions in modern diesel engines. They help to suppress nitrogen oxide, which is a highly reactive gas that is harmful to human health and our environment. The fluid is injected into a diesel vehicle’s exhaust system to convert the nitrogen oxide into a harmless water vapor. This new setup reflects your cooperative’s constant aim to save resources while protecting our community and environment.
