Alternative fuels and refined products provider U.S. Energy™ has signed a long-term agreement with Edgewood Renewables to operate a rail transload facility and refined products bulk plant in northern Las Vegas.
Located 2 miles from the Kinder Morgan Calnev pipeline and terminal, the facility will provide additional refined product storage capacity, rack access and room for growth to accommodate specialty products such as aviation gasoline, jet fuel and boutique gasoline blends, U.S. Energy officials said in a press release.
“We chose this opportunity to expand our rail business because the transload facility can accommodate roughly 60 cars at a time, allowing for manifest rail cars to be transloaded in an expedited manner without resulting in supply disruptions or operational inefficiencies,” said Katie Eckersley, director of rail trading and operations at U.S. Energy.
Eckersley added: “Due to the location and size of this facility, we are seeking customers that need to move freight via rail — both refined products and other goods such as lumber, steel and dry bulk, to name a few.”
As of Aug. 1, U.S. Energy will have exclusive operating rights to the rail and transload assets in addition to the bulk plant, U.S. Energy officials said.
"We are equally excited to have U.S. Energy as our long-term partner as Edgewood completes its renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel refinery and terminal strategically located at the north Las Vegas, Nevada, site,” said Edgewood CEO Stephen Harrington.
