Kinder Morgan begins biodiesel shipments via Oregon Pipeline

Kinder Morgan Energy Partners has started commercial transportation of blended 2% biodiesel, or B2, through its 115-mile Oregon Pipeline that runs from Portland to Eugene.

The company has completed a successful test batch by moving B2 through the pipeline. Upon receipt of B2 at both its Portland and Eugene facilities, extensive tests were performed on the biodiesel blend to ensure that the samples met specifications.

The first commercial batch of approximately 100,000 barrels of B2 was created using a newly installed blending system to inject B99 into ultra low sulfur diesel at the company's Willbridge terminal in Portland. Other area terminals are expected to be able to deliver B2 to the Kinder Morgan pipeline.
