Strategic Biofuels receives air permit approval to advance its Louisiana green fuels project
In Louisiana, Strategic Biofuels announced that its Louisiana Green Fuels (LGF) project has been issued an Air Permit from the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ).
After a comprehensive technical review and public comment period, DEQ determined that the project, located in Caldwell Parish Louisiana, will not have an adverse impact on local air resources, the company said.
The facility will be classified as a “synthetic minor” and will be subject to all applicable state and federal regulations, including the National Ambient Air Quality Standards, the firm added.
“Securing the Air Permit for the integrated facility is a significant development for our project,” said Paul Oesterreich, Senior Vice President of Project Development, Strategic Biofuels. “The permit application for our facility is the first of its kind in Louisiana to be reviewed by the DEQ. We greatly appreciate the design innovation brought by Hatch to drive down the emissions from the integrated facility and the diligence from Eagle Environmental Services our environmental consultant, in shepherding the application through the regulatory review process.”
