Our Dedication

To environmental stewardship is evident through our robust Environmental Compliance Programs and stellar performance record. We go beyond mere adherence to regulations; we proactively engage in practices that safeguard the environment and meet applicable federal, state, and local regulations.

Minimizing Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Vapor Recovery Units – Our extensive use of Vapor Recover Units (VRUs) at our truck loading operations allows us to minimize emissions from terminal operations. We prioritize emission reduction through the use of VRUs to capture product vapor from the truck loading process, contributing to significant greenhouse gas emissions avoidance.

LHT Offsets 100% of Purchased Electricity

We are proud to highlight that 100% of the purchased electricity used at our facilities is offset through the retirement of Renewable Energy Credits (RECs). These RECs are primarily generated from hydroelectric power generation stations, ensuring that our energy consumption is not contributing to net GHG emissions.

Renewable Fuels Programs – Embracing the energy transition, our renewable fuels program is a cornerstone of our sustainability efforts. Our best-in-class rail offload facilities and extensive tank capacity uniquely position us to support this transition.
