IMTT
pipeline connections in Geismar, Louisiana to support increasing volumes of renewable feedstocks and finished products.
“ This demonstrates the practical value IMTT delivers,” Carlin elaborates.“ At our Geismar terminal, we added new storage tanks and connected the site by pipeline to a nearby renewable diesel production plant. This configuration allows us to receive renewable feedstocks by barge, rail, or vessel, move them through the terminal, and deliver them directly into the refinery. We are also able to handle the finished renewable diesel for onward distribution into the market.
“ By adapting existing infrastructure and making targeted additions- including dedicated pipelines, increased dock capacity and expanded tankage- IMTT supports more efficient supply chain flows for low-carbon fuels. This integrated approach supports both the production and distribution of renewable diesel and other sustainable fuels across the US. For this project alone, we’ ve built nearly a million barrels of tankage, and we’ re very proud of what we’ ve developed at Geismar.” Another key area for IMTT is its Saint Rose Terminal in Louisiana. The company is working to better align its storage capabilities at the facility to meet demand because of its proximity to the Mississippi River. As Carlin explains:“ We often focus on deepwater locations, as they are an integral part of the supply chain. Saint Rose, as a river port, is ideally positioned and is one of our busiest terminals, and it has undergone a shift with its renewable fuels and feedstocks footprint. Moving cargos, either after breaking or building bulk is the most expensive element of global trade. Having a high-capacity deepwater location gives our customers a clear advantage for efficient cargo movements.
“ The Saint Rose Terminal allows us to offer customers more space to develop their programs. They also benefit from access to deepwater ship capabilities directly from our
