PEKIN, Ill., July 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Aventine Renewable Energy Holdings, Inc. , a leading producer, marketer and end to end supplier of ethanol, today announced additions to its existing terminal network footprint.
The Company recently acquired additional terminal capacity in Philadelphia, PA from F.C. Haab Company. This new facility is adjacent to, and will be serviced by, CSX Transportation. The Haab facility will enable Aventine to increase its existing service to the growing Philadelphia ethanol marketplace.
Aventine has also recently contracted for significant rail and waterborne terminalling capacity in Providence, RI. The terminal facility in Providence will be provided by Motiva, a joint venture between Royal Dutch Shell and Saudi Aramco, and will be served by CSX Transportation via an interchange with the Providence and Worchester Railroad Company. This terminal will provide streamlined logistical infrastructure for ethanol supply for the emerging Rhode Island and nearby Boston area markets.
Ron Miller, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are pleased to add these facilities to our expanding terminal network. The addition of these distribution facilities in areas where ethanol is in great demand will allow us to provide a steady, cost effective supply of ethanol to meet the needs of blenders and refiners." Miller continued, "These facilities help us in furthering our goal of being the premier end to end supplier of ethanol in this country."
