Gulf Hydrocarbon now offering dye red biodiesel

Gulf Hydrocarbon, a provider of fuels to the petroleum industry, is now offering dyed red biodiesel at IFL terminal in Houston, Texas.

The red biodiesel is used off-road by construction companies, ranchers, farmers, and standby generators, marine and drilling industries because of its non-taxable incentive provided by the US government.

The cost of dye red biodiesel is comparable to conventional diesel, the company says.  

"Dye red presents a wonderful non-taxable option for farmers, ranchers, off-road equipment haulers to better manage their logistics costs. The tax incentives will continue to help develop the biodiesel industry and preserve our natural resources," Scott Hughes, Director of Governmental Affairs for the National Biodiesel Board.

Gulf Hydrocarbon is currently offering dye red biodiesel to Louisiana and Texas distributors that sell the product to farmers. Distributors in the Louisiana and Texas area include O’Roarke Petroleum Products, Talen’s Marine and Temple Oil Company.

Established in 1997, Gulf Hydrocarbon is a provider of biodiesel to the petroleum industry. The company also offers services to producers that wish to contract for high-volume off-take agreements and risk management of biodiesel or biodiesel feedstocks. Specialized services include biodiesel production, blending, plant operation, tolling, plant development and financing.
