Kinder Morgan and Neste partner on major renewable fuels logistics project in US

Green Car Congress

SEPTEMBER 14, 2021

Upon completion of the project, Kinder Morgan’s Harvey, Louisiana facility will serve as the primary hub where Neste will store a variety of raw materials including, for example, the used cooking oil it collects from more than 40,000 restaurants across the United States. At Neste’s option, the facility can be further expanded.

CCST report: an integral role for next-gen biofuels in meeting California GHG targets requires advanced biofuels and demand reduction

While most of the light-duty fleet and rail transportation could be electrified, liquid fuels would still be required for aviation, marine, and heavy duty transportation. Gaseous fuel would be required for some heavy industry and load-following in electricity generation from intermittent renewable sources such as wind and solar.
