Valero Energy, parent company of Valero Renewables, was recently announced to be the recipient of an award for the safe shipment of dangerous goods. Valero was awarded the 2024 Safe Handling Award, a recognition given by Canadian National Railroad.
The Safe Handling Award recognizes customers who load freight cars with dangerous goods and meet rigorous safety standards in the handling and transportation of regulated products. Recipients must meet established criteria based on the total number of shipments of dangerous goods across all facilities.
Valero Renewables purchased and continues to operate the first plant built in the industrial park West of Fort Dodge on Highway 7, formally named Iowa’s Crossroads of Global Innovation. The plant’s primary product is ethanol.
