On this week’s episode, Kate Muggerud interviews Dale Johnson, plant manager at the Great Plains Synfuels Plant, Beulah, North Dakota. Dale talks about changes occurring at the synfuels plant and how Dakota Gasification Company is now marketing 13 different products.   The plant was originally built in the 1980s to turn ample reserves of lignite coal into synthetic natural gas. However, with the recent completion of the $740 million urea plant at the Great Plains Synfuels Plant, DGC is now making the majority of its revenue from the sale of three nitrogen-based fertilizers – urea, anhydrous ammonia and ammonia sulfate. For more information, visit www.lignite.com.
