The U.S. Department of Agriculture has granted $3 million to a regional multimodal biodiesel distribution center to ramp up fuel production and distribution to help Washington, Oregon and Idaho farmers meet clean energy needs during peak harvest seasons.
Federal matching funds were awarded to Vancouver, Wash.-based Tidewater Transportation and Terminals Inc. to complete a clean energy transition project creating the new major biodiesel production and distribution hub at its Snake River terminal in Pasco, Wash.
