IMTT to build additional infrastructure for renewables at Geismar marine terminal

In Louisiana, International-Matex Tank Terminals LLC will build additional tanks, pipeline, and dock infrastructure at its Geismar, Louisiana marine terminal to handle renewable feedstocks and renewable products, including renewable diesel, biodiesel and other products.

Backed by a long-term contract with Renewable Energy Group, Inc., the project will support REG’s nearby biorefinery expansion, which is expected to be completed in 2023, bringing aggregate production capacity of finished renewable diesel products to 340 million gallons per year.

The expansion of IMTT’s Geismar terminal will include the construction of six new storage tanks to be used for the storage of biodiesel, renewable diesel, and feedstocks, nearly doubling the terminal’s current storage capacity. IMTT will also construct two pipelines and related dock and loading infrastructure to support REG’s biorefinery expansion. With the addition of this project, IMTT expects to be connected via pipeline to nearly one-third of the nation’s renewable diesel production capacity (currently under construction) as of 2023.
