Groundbreaking Friday for fuel station

CAMBRIDGE, Nebraska -- NCP Fuel Services LLC of Cambridge, Nebraska, plans a groundbreaking Friday, at 10:30 a.m., for the construction of a blender pump fueling station in the Harvest Subdivision on the east edge of Cambridge, Nebraska. The public is invited to attend.

NCP Fuel Services will construct the new fuel station to include a maintenance facility and convenience store, as well as adequate parking for cars and trucks. The station will have seven pumps; four flexible fuel dispensers that offer ethanol blends including E10, E15, E 30 and E85, and three flexible fuel dispensers that offer biodiesel blends including B0, B2, B5 and B20.

Site work for the new facility will begin this fall and should be completed around Summer, 2013.

Because the southwestern corridor of Nebraska is devoid of retail stations that offer E85 and biodiesel, NCP Fuel Services LLC has made it a priority to make clean, renewable energy available for consumers, according to Beth Westemeyer, Marketing Manager, NCP Fuel Services, LLC. The fuel station will also create new employment positions in the community, as well as help stimulate the local economy. Westemeyer said.

Cliff Meeuwsen, president of NCP Fuel Services, said, "Through the installation of the flex fuel dispensers, we aim to promote the use of clean-burning fuels for vehicles while also displacing our dependence on foreign oil and creating employment positions that will benefit the local economy. By using ethanol or biodiesel blends and buying local, you are directly supporting your community and your neighbor."

NCP Fuel Services is an affiliate of Nebraska Corn Processing LLC®, a grain processor located in Cambridge. The plant is capable of processing 16 million bushels of corn per year, resulting in 44 million gallons of ethanol and 400,000 tons of wet distiller's grains with solubles (WDGS).

As a producer of ethanol and WDGS, Nebraska Corn Processing strives to support agriculture through purchasing corn and providing feed to area livestock producers, as well as offering freight services.
