SINGAPORE, March 16 (Reuters) - Malaysia's DIALOG Group
has launched its expansion of terminal operations for renewable
fuels storage facilities at Johor, marking its first foray into
the renewables market, the company said in a statement on
Thursday.
The company is aiming to start operations for this
expansion, which will be connected to truck loading bays and
existing marine facilities, at its Tanjung Langsat 3 site by
end-2024.
"The storage facility will consist of storage tanks with a
capacity of 24,000 cubic metres targeted for renewable fuel
feedstocks and products," said the company's executive chairman
Ngau Boon Keat.
These renewable fuels include used cooking oil, tallow,
pyrolysis oil, palm oil mill effluent and biodiesels such as
used cooking oil methyl ester and fatty acids methyl ester, he
added.
The company also has plans to integrate and collaborate with
pre-treatment or hydrotreat plants to blend renewable and
conventional fuels, Ngau said.
DIALOG Group currently has three terminals at Tanjung
Langsat, with its Tanjong Langsat 3 site having storage capacity
of 205,000 cubic metres for energy products.
