Marathon Commits To Alternative Fuels
By CSD Staff
Marathon Oil Corp. said that 16 terminals located in five
Midwestern states will convert to ethanol-blended fuel by May 1. Unblended gas
products will no longer be offered at any of the terminals. Seven of the
terminals are in Michigan, five are in Ohio and two are in Indiana. The
remaining terminals are in Louisville, Ky. and Milwaukee, Wis. Mary Ellen Peters, Marathon’s senior vice president of
marketing, said the terminals will convert to 100% ethanol blended gas to help
meet the "changing needs of our customers. It also supports our renewable fuels
goals, which were recently increased by the Energy Independence and Security Act
of 2007 to 9 billion gallons of renewable fuel in 2008 and 36 billion gallons by
2022." Marathon expanded its ethanol blend to 625 million gallons in
2007, largely in response to 2007 legislation and the increase in customer
demand for the blended fuel. The company has 6,000 locations in 18
states |
