Lone Star terminal reopens for biodiesel use

A biodiesel plant in North Houston, US has reopened this February thanks to a new partnership.

Biodiesel provider Gulf Hydrocarbon and Akash Energy will offer biodiesel and renewable diesel from the Lone Star Terminal located near Bush Intercontinental Airport.

The terminal has a capacity of 6.7 million gallons, of which Gulf Hydrocarbon has leased 420,000 gallons of storage for biodiesel. It allows bobtail and transport trucks to add biodiesel fuel to their diesel fuel mix.

‘This allows us to reach a broader spectrum of the Houston fuel distributor market,’ Justin Heller, president of Akash Energy, was quoted as saying. ‘The truck rack services a variety of customers, from large commercial distributors to small fleets and retailers.’
