Biofuel Infrastructure Upgrades at Sterling Fuels Windsor
Official title: Sterling Fuels Windsor - upgrades to facilities and operations
Sterling Fuels wants to upgrade its Windsor facility to handle biofuels alongside diesel. The work includes new rail offloading equipment, a truck station for biofuels, and piping to blend and distribute both products. Everything stays within the existing site footprint with no work in the water.
Why This Matters
Live near the Russell Street facility in Windsor? This expansion could mean more truck and rail traffic in your neighbourhood. The shift to biofuels is part of Canada's push for greener shipping on the Great Lakes.
What Could Change
If approved, Sterling Fuels can add biofuel handling capacity to its existing diesel operations. This supports the federal Green Shipping Corridor Project's goal of cleaner marine fuel options in the Great Lakes region.
Key Issues
- Should the facility expansion for biofuel handling be approved?
- Are there environmental or community concerns with the upgraded operations?
