NEXT Renewable Fuels engages IAG to build renewable fuels facility in Oregon
HOUSTON, TEXAS – November 13, 2018 – NEXT Renewable Fuels, Inc. (NEXT) and IAG have reached an agreement for IAG to act as NEXT’s Owners Representative and EPCM to manage the design, engineering and construction of NEXT’s planned renewable fuels refinery near Clatskanie, Oregon.
Currently in the permitting phase, NEXT Renewable Fuels Oregon will supply the West Coast with advanced green diesel and other renewable fuels, creating emissions savings equal to removing 1 million vehicles from the road. Scheduled to open at Port Westward in 2021, and representing an investment of more than $1 billion, this state-of-the-art facility will eventually employ more than 200 skilled workers on site and will position Oregon as a leader in advanced biofuels production.
“NEXT selected IAG for this vital role based on their vast experience and past success in managing and bringing complex industrial projects on-line both on time and on budget,” NEXT President Lou Soumas said. “We are pleased to be working with them to bring our advanced renewable fuels to the market.”
IAG is internationally known for its history of completing projects safely, on time, on budget and on spec. A part of the Triten Corporation, IAG has managed more than 200 projects in 20 countries.
