Pearson Fuels partnered with two well-established petroleum distributors to develop new biodiesel blending facilities.
Pearson worked with Apex Fuels, LLC in Southern California to incorporate a biodiesel and renewable diesel blending facility into the Chemoil Terminal in Carson, California. Chemoil will make all blends of biodiesel available to customers within its 120-mile radius competitive distribution area, which includes Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Imperial counties, and most of San Diego County, encompassing a population of approximately 21 million people.
Pearson worked with Interstate Oil Company in Northern California to up-fit one of its large diesel terminals with full biodiesel storage and blending capability in McClellan, California. Interstate Oil will make all blends of biodiesel available to its customers within its 120-mile radius competitive distribution area, which includes the San Francisco, San Jose, Sacramento and Stockton metropolitan areas, encompassing a population of approximately 4.6 million people. Combined, these facilities now serve approximately 26 million people or approximately 70 percent of the population of the state of California.
Both projects were completed within budget and substantial volumes of renewable fuels are being distributed through them.
