Frequently Asked Questions

Who can be a part of the co-op?

Farmer/producers and consumers may join the cooperative and be buyers, sellers or both. Co-op members work together to operate the co-op although there is no obligation to volunteer. Consumers and producers that are located outside the state of Nebraska but who wish to participate in the co-op will have the opportunity to do so but are not eligible to become voting members.

As a consumer/producer, why should I join the Nebraska Green Fuels Cooperative?

*Refer to our "Join the Co-op" link.

What area will the co-op serve?

The co-op's initial target service area is the northeastern quarter of Nebraska. However, wherever sufficient numbers of members originate from in a geographic area, that area has the potential to be served by a co-op franchise.

What products will be sold through the cooperative?

E85, biodiesel, variable blends of bio seed oils, compressed gas (in the future), e85 ethanol conversion kits, and mileage improvement solutions.

Are volunteers compensated for work?

Delivery volunteers are paid mileage to and from locations when needed. Volunteers are compensated with NGFC product credits, discounts and participation in test programs. Volunteers are appreciated and celebrated during the year with Volunteer Appreciation Gatherings/Potlucks.
