Kinder Morgan has struck an agreement with Archer Daniels Midland Co. to build a rail facility and ethanol offloading system in Selma, North Carolina. Via World Grain, Kinder Morgan will also build a pipeline that will connect the ethanol hub to its tank farm in Selma, from which ethanol will be distributed to blending terminals.
The companies expect to have inter-terminal connections in service by the third quarter of 2016 and the entire project complete by the end of the year.
The EPA in November set an ethanol blending target of 14.5 billion gallons for 2016.
