The Port of Greater Baton Rouge is expanding its existing rail storage facility on
North Line Road for the addition of 132 Loading/Unloading Spots for service to
the Grön Fuels Renewable Fuels Refinery. The expansion will also include three
landing tracks for Union Pacific Rail Service to deliver 100 Car Unit Trains.
The Grön Fuels Renewable Fuels Refinery is a new $9.2 billion renewable fuels
complex in West Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana. The first phase of the project
CAPEX is projected to be in excess of $4.25 billion, creating 340 direct jobs, and
will produce 60,000 barrels per day (BPD) of renewable diesel and sustainable
aviation fuel. At full build-out, the complex would involve over $9.2 billion in total
investment and would employ upwards of 1,025 direct employees.
CSRS developed and submitted the USACE 404 Permit on behalf of the Port of
Greater Baton Rouge, including wetlands and cultural field surveys.
CSRS also acted as Owner’s Engineer for Grön Fuels to provide import export
studies of the Rail System to satisfy the facility needs for rail service, conceptual
design of topsides for the rail facility and Project/Technical oversight of the Rail
System Design Firm.
