Houtson, TX -- Marathon Oil Corporation (NYSE:MRO) Feb. 6 announced that the company has completed a project adding biodiesel blended fuel at its Kramer's Lane Terminal located in Louisville, KY.

"Marathon is proud to be the first biodiesel storage and distribution terminal in Kentucky to provide in-line blending," said Mary Ellen Peters, Marathon's senior vice president, Marketing.

"Biodiesel helps us meet the changing needs of our customers while supporting Kentucky's alternative fuels goals. Our focus continues to be on delivering the quality products our customer's desire."

"Shipping the first load of biodiesel out of Marathon's terminal fulfills that goal."

The Kentucky Clean Fuels Coalition, the Kentucky Soybean Board and National Clean Cities, Inc. collaborated with Marathon to attract grants that helped enable the installation of the blending infrastructure.

The Company will market B-2 (two percent biodiesel) to B-5 (five percent biodiesel) product from the Kramer's Lane Terminal.

Marathon's fully automated in-line blending system is the first of its kind in Kentucky, producing a high-quality blend of biodiesel.
