In the intricate network of the oil and gas industry, terminals and wholesalers play crucial roles in the supply chain that ensures the seamless flow of ethanol.
Terminals
Terminals are physical facilities strategically located to receive, store, and distribute ethanol. They act as centralized hubs where ethanol from producers, often delivered by rail or truck, is collected. Terminals play a key role in managing the logistics of ethanol storage, blending, and distribution.

Wholesalers
Wholesalers operate more directly in the transactional aspect of ethanol distribution. They act as intermediaries between ethanol producers and retailers, facilitating the bulk purchase (from terminals and/or ethanol producers) and resale of ethanol.
