LONGVIEW, Wash. (AP) - A Houston-based company has shown interest in developing a biofuel refinery in Washington.
The Daily News reports (https://bit.ly/2pxoSA7 ) the Port of Longview previously denied a similar project from the company. But this time, their plan is for just biofuel - not oil or propane - and would be built outside of Longview property.
Riverside Renewables’ plan calls for processing 150 million gallons of virgin seed oil as a “drop-in” replacement fuel for diesel trucks. A company spokesman says the $500 million facility would process biofuel for domestic markets and would not use palm oil.
The company might also partner with a liquid petroleum gas provider to build a transfer terminal on its property, but the spokesman says there are no firm plans yet.
