Expanding Access to Renewable Fuels - Port of Stockton Terminal

The objectives of the project were to construct and operate a biodiesel terminal adjacent to the Recipient's existing biorefinery. The successful operation of the terminal will increase the volume of biodiesel supplied to the California market, contribute to the displacement of petroleum by renewable fuels, contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and ensure the biodiesel supplied meets fuel quality specifications.

Community Fuels developed over 3 acres of vacant land adjacent to its existing biorefinery into a high throughput advanced biofuel terminal. This terminal is compatible with standard operating procedures and equipment used within the petroleum industry, allowing seamless integration with existing fuel infrastructure. Emphasis was placed on ensuring the highest product quality; all fuel is filtered, and terminal customers may contract for fuel quality testing through Community Fuels' on-site BQ-9000 fuel laboratory. This infrastructure project resulted in the construction of 500,000 gallons of new biodiesel storage at the Port of Stockton, California. The strategic location and the robust truck and rail loading and unloading capabilities will support efficient distribution of large volumes of high-quality biodiesel throughout California.
