from Mason City, IA globegazette.com:
Infrastructure improvements made at the Magellan fuel terminal at Clear Lake provide the first fully incorporated biodiesel blending system located inside a petroleum terminal in Iowa.
Don Wellendorf of Tulsa, Okla., president and chief executive officer of Magellan Midstream Partners, said the biodiesel blending system provides “critical infrastructure in the local, state and regional economy.” He said Magellan owns the longest refined products pipeline system in the U.S. as well as 81 petroleum distribution terminals in 22 states, including the one in Clear Lake. Magellan owns seven other terminals in Iowa — in Milford, Des Moines, Waterloo, Fort Dodge, Dubuque, Iowa City and Sioux City.
“The majority of diesel fuel distributed in Iowa flows through Magellan’s system,” he said.
Of particular interest to the WBA legislative effort is the statement by Wellendorf that the Clear Lake terminal plays an important role in meeting customer demand and renewable fuel policies passed in Iowa and Minnesota. As Wisconsin moves toward approval of the state budget, the proposed biodiesel infrastructure tax credits deserve inclusion to advance distribution of biodiesel within our own state supply network.
