Sinclair Oil Corp. to offer biodiesel

In Iowa, US, Salt Lake City-headquartered Sinclair Oil Corporation is to make biodiesel available to its customers at its Ft. Madison blending terminal.

In addition to offering the REG-9000 dyed and clear biodiesel to drivers, the new addition to Sinclair's terminal will also provide another option for petroleum distributors in Illinois and Missouri.

As Jack Barger, VP of marketing and supply at Sinclair, says: 'Sinclair has a long history of providing business solutions for petroleum distributors and retailers. Offering biodiesel blends at the Ft. Madison, Iowa, terminal is an important step in moving our refining and petroleum distribution businesses forward in meeting the renewable fuel standard.'

The company owns blending terminals in 10 upper Midwest locations, in addition to its Ft. Madison terminal.

Speaking about the collaboration between Sinclair and REG, Barger states that the company is 'pleased to partner with Renewable Energy Group' and that Sinclair is 'committed to biodiesel quality and has a long-standing reputation for service to the petroleum industry.'
