Port of Greater Baton Rouge – Rail Expansion for Grön Fuels Renewable Fuels Refinery

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.

Our team developed and submitted the USACE 404 Permit on behalf of the Port of Greater Baton Rouge, including wetlands and cultural field surveys.

CSRS, a Westwood company 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.
