Blue Sun to sell biodiesel at Cummins terminal in Knoxville

Blue Sun Biodiesel will sell its biodiesel at the Cummins Terminal located in Knoxville, Tennessee

‘We’re glad to be bringing our biodiesel, and our way of doing business to Knoxville and the Cummins Terminal,’ says Blue Sun CEO Leigh Freeman. ‘Locating at the Cummins Terminal will give our customers a very convenient and efficient way to meet their biodiesel blending needs, and to do so with Blue Sun’s highly reliable, high quality biodiesel.’

Blue Sun will deliver mechanically-blended biodiesel from a heated 546,000 gallon biodiesel tank through three of the six lanes at Cummins Terminal’s state-of-the-art truck loading rack. This rack has helped Cummins become the most convenient, fastest-loading, highest diesel volume terminal in the region and will benefit Blue Sun customers through shorter wait times and more efficient loading.

Current economics allow biodiesel to be sold at prices below conventional diesel fuel. ‘Over the past year we’ve seen prices for B2 and B5 blends below diesel,’ says Randy Rutherford of Blue Sun. With higher level blends such as B10 or B20 the discount to diesel can be even greater, the company notes.
