GAC Ireland and Green Biofuels debut fuels delivery at Ireland’s first clean fuels terminal

In Ireland, GAC Ireland and Green Biofuels Limited UK (GBF) have celebrated the debut lifting of biofuels from Ireland’s first clean fuels terminal.

The company has been appointed to operate and maintain GBF’s Cork Terminal from March 2023. The first 39,000-liter lifting of Gd⁺ fuel, which is made from renewable feedstocks and dramatically reduces harmful emissions by up to 90%, was completed in April under the eagle eye of Kenneth Long, GAC Ireland’s Cork Terminal Manager. It was heading for Mullingar in central Ireland where it will be used for several applications.

Previously, GBF leased tanks in UK through third parties. The beginning of operations at their own facility is a major milestone for them – and they have selected GAC as their partner to provide the manning and oversee day-to-day terminal activities.

Under the agreement, GAC provides terminal management services at the site, including providing terminal operators, loading masters and jetty operators who are responsible for the day-to-day operations of the terminal, discharging fuel from vessels and overseeing the loading of fuel onto trucks for delivery.
