Targray, a leading North American biofuels marketer and distributor, has announced the opening of its Fargo Biodiesel Terminal, a 24/7 fuel distribution center serving wholesale fuel buyers throughout the Fargo-Moorhead metro area. Centrally located in West Fargo, North Dakota, the new terminal will provide local fuel retailers, distributors and fleet managers with greater access to biodiesel, a biobased renewable fuel that produces 80 percent fewer CO2 emissions than petroleum diesel.
“The Fargo terminal is an important addition to our national biodiesel distribution network,” said Samy Cozma, a biofuels trader with Targray. “It provides a reliable local biodiesel solution for businesses operating in Fargo-Moorhead, one of the country’s fastest-growing metropolitan areas.” Cozma added that the new terminal would also help address the increased demand for biobased diesel in Northwest Minnesota, stemming from the state’s recently amended biodiesel mandate.
On May 1, Minnesota began requiring that all diesel fuel sold in the state contain at least 20 percent biodiesel (B20). The minimum content for the remainder of the year is 5 percent (B5). The state’s move to increase the use of biodiesel, a cleaner-burning alternative to petroleum-based diesel, has received strong support from local clean air advocates, including the American Lung Association’s Upper Midwest Chapter.
Representatives from Targray’s biofuels division will be appearing at the North Dakota Petroleum Marketer Association’s annual event in Fargo to meet with local industry stakeholders and provide additional information on the company’s B20-ready turnkey biodiesel solutions.
