Eco-Energy Begins Construction at Selma, NC, Ethanol Site

OAKHURST, N.J. (DTN) -- Eco-Energy Distribution Services said on Tuesday, Nov. 3, that construction has commenced at its distribution facility located with the terminal complex area in Selma, North Carolina.

The project includes service agreements with Marathon Petroleum Company LP, which will upgrade its terminal to receive, store and load biofuels. The newly connected facilities will be equipped to receive 96 tank cars daily via the Norfolk Southern Railway for outbound ethanol distribution via pipeline connection and/or tank truck delivery to all area gasoline blending locations.

“Eco-Energy is excited to see the Selma facility become a reality as we feel the industry will benefit from an optimized ethanol supply chain into one of the fastest growing gasoline markets in the United States,” said Chadwick Conn, Eco-Energy’s vice president of distribution. “Our continued commitment to downstream investment is based on our desire to improve the logistical issues of our customers and we believe this facility accomplishes that goal.”
