Vopak’s Los Angeles Terminal modifying to help the sustainable fuel industry!

Happy Tuesday!

Did anyone happen to see the newsletter from ILTA News, October 4, 2023, they had a press release from the Vopak titled, “Vopak repurposed existing infrastructure to support energy transition in California”? The press release goes on to speak about how Vopak modified 22 tanks at Vopak’s Los Angeles Terminal in California to hold Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and renewable biodiesel.  The tanks can hold about 39 million gallons.  Vopak is trying to help with the transition to renewable fuels by modifying tanks for the “What’s next!” in liquids.  Vopak is helping with sustainable fuel and feedstocks by being willing to modify to help its customers and the environment by investing in infrastructure to the tune of more than $31 million this year to change existing tanks.  They have announced they will be investing over $1 billion over the next 7 years into growth capital to aid emerging energies and renewable products.  If you would like to read the full press release from Vopak, please click the link: Vopak repurposed existing infrastructure to support energy transition in California |Royal Vopak.

The transition to renewable fuels and renewable feedstocks will need places to store products of the future and modifying the existing infrastructure is a great way to help now.  Contact us via email in the blog and check out our ESC's website and ask how we can help you!
