The Michigan Advanced Biofuels Coalition (MiABC) partnered with Warner Petroleum Corporation to host MiABC stakeholders with the Michigan Soybean Committee and Michigan Clean Cities Coalition on a tour of Warner’s fuel and asphalt operations in Detroit and Dearborn, Michigan. Participants enjoyed tours of Warner Petroleum’s Waterfront Petroleum Terminal on the Detroit River, railcar operations on Zug Island, and Waterfront Petroleum Terminal on the Rouge River.
During the tour, representatives from Warner Petroleum highlighted the company’s 40-year history and provided an overview of its diverse and evolving operations. Staff also provided an overview of the company’s investment in expanded biodiesel infrastructure in Michigan and the potential for additional investments if a blending incentive similar to Missouri, Iowa, or Illinois were to pass in Michigan.
