Kinder Morgan Energy Partners has announced it is now transporting commercial batches of denatured ethanol along with gasoline shipments in its 16-inch Central Florida Pipeline (CFPL) between Tampa and Orlando, Fla., making CFPL the first transmarket gasoline pipeline in the United States to do so.

Kinder Morgan has invested approximately $10 million to modify the line for ethanol shipments which involved chemically cleaning the pipeline, replacing pipeline equipment that was incompatible with ethanol and expanding storage capacity at its Orlando terminal to handle ethanol shipments.

"We are excited about the commercial opportunities presented by the successful efforts in modifying Central Florida Pipeline and are assessing our other pipeline assets that may be similarly modified to meet expanding customer needs for biofuels," said KMP Products President Tom Bannigan.

"We expect the CFPL expansion to be immediately accretive to cash available for distribution to KMP unitholders."

In addition to the CFPL ethanol project, Kinder Morgan's Products Pipeline segment has approved over $90 million in ethanol and biofuel projects including modifications to tanks, truck racks and related infrastructure for new or expanded ethanol and biodiesel service at various terminals in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest.

Kinder Morgan offers offloading, storage and blending of ethanol at its terminals in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, Illinois, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, California, Nevada, Arizona, Washington and Oregon.
