Green Plains Inc. recently announced that it plans to build and operate its first export-import fuels terminal in Beaumont, Texas. This is the latest in a string of expansion moves by the country’s fourth-largest ethanol producer.
The Omaha, Nebraska-based company has formed a joint venture with Jefferson Gulf Coast Energy Partners at Jefferson’s existing Beaumont operation on a terminal expected to cost USD $55 million in its first phase of construction, the companies said in a joint statement.
