Why Renewable Fuels?
Ethanol & Biodiesel Services
At BlendStar, we believe that the use of renewable fuels will help provide a sustainable pathway toward cleaner energy consumption in the US. To promote distribution, we strategically locate our terminals to provide efficient and economic delivery to markets that do not have sufficient and cost-effective access to renewable fuels. As production and consumption of conventional ethanol and biodiesel pose various challenges, many companies are researching and producing “advanced” forms of renewable fuels, including cellulosic ethanol and biodiesel produced from algae. With this in mind, we construct our sites to support various types of renewable fuels with marginal or no modifications.
All BlendStar sites offer ethanol transload services. Currently, we offer biodiesel transload services in Louisville, Nashville, Collins and Oklahoma City with rail and full truck load delivery options, and outbound service via full truck load or splash blending. Biodiesel can also be added in Bossier City, LA, Memphis, TN, Little Rock, AR, and Knoxville, TN terminals at customer request. If you are interested in ethanol or biodiesel transload at any of our current facilities or an alternative location, please contact Paul Melton at 618.962.3056 to discuss your needs.
