Infrastructure Designed for Renewable Compatibility
LCC Terminals plays a critical role in enabling Northern Ireland’s transition toward lower‑carbon, renewable, and circular liquid fuels. Our terminals, systems, and safety frameworks are engineered to support both today’s traditional energy carriers and the next generation of low carbon alternatives, ensuring that the region has the physical infrastructure required to meet national and cross border decarbonisation targets. We don’t just talk about sustainability.
Real-Time Quality Control
A Logistics Bridge Between Supply and Decarbonisation Targets
Northern Ireland’s energy transition depends on secure, compliant access to renewable and low‑carbon fuels. LCC Terminals provides the infrastructure and operational expertise required to bring these products safely into the market. By supporting the import, blending, storage, and redistribution of these fuels, we provide a vital logistics link between global renewable supply chains and the decarbonisation goals of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Its importance will only increase as climate policies evolve, fuel standards tighten, and demand for cleaner alternatives grows.
Renewable and low carbon fuels
- HVO
- Biofuel blends
- Ethanol
- Methanol
- Used cooking oils
- Recycled liquid fuels
- Renewably sourced feedstocks
- Hydrogen Ready Capabilities
Reducing Emissions
Reducing Carbon Miles Through Strategic Location.
Reducing carbon miles through strategic location, LCC’s terminal network is built for efficient, low-carbon distribution by minimising long-haul road movements, providing deepwater access for global inbound shipments, enabling localised storage and distribution, and strengthening regional resilience through multi-terminal coverage.
With terminals at Cloghan Point and LSS Derry/Bay Road, we support efficient distribution across Northern Ireland and the border counties, reducing unnecessary transport emissions and improving route optimisation for hazardous liquid waste and recycled fuels (RLW).
Fuels of the future
Infrastructure Designed for Renewable Compatibility
LCC’s terminals are technically configured to support a wide range of renewable and alternative fuels. Our systems provide the confidence required to integrate greener alternatives into existing supply chains without compromising safety, performance, or compliance.
- Temperature controlled storage for sensitive bio-products
- Dedicated handling systems for ethanol and renewable blends
- Compatibility with recycled and waste-derived fuels
- High integrity tank farms engineered to prevent contamination and preserve product quality
Our systems provide the confidence required to integrate greener alternatives into existing supply chains without compromising safety, performance, or compliance.
Cloghan Point
A Future-Fit Renewable Energy Hub
The proposed redevelopment of the Cloghan Point terminal represents a step-change for renewable energy logistics in Northern Ireland. Future-Facing Capabilities Include increased import capacity for renewable fuel carriers, expanded tank storage for HVO, ethanol, bio-blends, and advanced low-carbon liquids.
Enhanced in-line blending for scalable, consistent renewable fuel production and deepwater access, enabling direct importation from global suppliers which can help reduced reliance on long-haul supply routes through Great Britain, which in turn can lower transport emissions through optimised routing and reduced carbon miles. Cloghan Point positions Northern Ireland to safely scale its renewable fuels infrastructure, aligning with national climate commitments and strengthening long-term energy resilience.
Safety and Compliance as the Foundation of Sustainability
Sustainability at LCC begins with Zero Harm. Every renewable and low‑carbon fuel we handle is managed under the same stringent safety protocols that apply to traditional fuels. Sustainability only works when operations are safe. At LCC, the two are inseparable. Our sustainability framework is built on:
COMAH Safety
Compliance
High-integrity
Engineering Controls
Real-time Monitoring
Systems
Environmental Protection
& Spill Prevention
Strict Adherence to
Fuel Regulations
Circular Economy Solutions
LCC plays an important role in the circular economy through the handling, processing, and redistribution of recycled liquid fuels (RLW) and waste-derived liquids, managed via controlled, compliant processes that support responsible recycling and reduce the environmental burden of liquid waste streams.
Prepared for the energy systems of tomorrow, LCC Terminals continues to invest in flexible, future-ready infrastructure capable of supporting emerging liquid energy carriers.
