The Tri-Cities will soon be home to a biodiesel hub, thanks in part to a multi-million federal grant. Tidewater Terminal Company has received $3.1 million in federal matching funds to complete a new biodiesel distribution hub at their Snake River Terminal in Pasco. The Clean Energy Transition Project grant was awarded through the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Higher Blends Infrastructure Incentive Program, according to a news release from Sen. Maria Cantwell's office. The goal of the project is to help Eastern Washington farmers with cleaner fuel to meet new state fuel standards and reduce the carbon footprint of wheat, barley and potato harvests, said the release.
