PASCO – Tidewater Transportation and Terminals hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony Friday to mark the official opening of its terminal expansion including a full-service biofuel and renewable diesel distribution facility at the Snake River Terminal in Pasco.
Tidewater received a $3.1 million grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to support the facility, which will significantly expand the availability of biodiesel across central and eastern Washington, Oregon, and northern Idaho.
The Snake River Terminal’s expanded capacity will allow it to blend more than 2 million gallons of biodiesel per month, supporting the region’s transition to cleaner energy. The facility’s strategic location and multi-modal access to truck, rail, barge, and pipeline make it an essential hub for distributing biodiesel to meet the energy needs of the Pacific Northwest, particularly during peak agricultural seasons.
