What Lincoln does

Lincoln Energy Solutions (legal entity Lincoln Terminal Company, Inc.) is a privately-held petroleum and biofuel marketing and logistics company headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina. Founded around 1985, the company serves commercial fuel buyers, biofuel marketers, and distributors across the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic United States, with operations extending from Maryland through Georgia and Tennessee and into Ohio and Kentucky. Lincoln operates an integrated infrastructure network that includes owned terminals in Charlotte, NC (130,000 bbl capacity), Chattanooga, TN, and Fredericksburg, VA; a 45-acre, 90-car unit-train rail facility under construction in Chattahoochee, west Atlanta, on Norfolk Southern; 27 biodiesel blending sites and 5 biodiesel transload sites; and a dedicated tanker fleet operated through Team Logistics.

The company's product slate spans ethanol (ASTM D4806), biodiesel (ASTM D6751), ULSD, gasoline, and butane, sold via bulk terminal delivery, transloading, automated blending, and consultative fuel advisory services. Underlying technology is industrial automation rather than software: automated biodiesel and ethanol blending skids, advanced metering systems that produce immediate bills of lading, heat-traced blending for temperature-sensitive product, and electronic data communication for inventory reporting. There is no disclosed AI/ML layer.

The business model is sales-led B2B with consultative enterprise field sales. Revenue is transactional across five streams: petroleum product marketing, biofuels sales, terminal services, transportation and trucking, and blending services. Pricing is quote-based, tailored to customer requirements, and not publicly disclosed. Combined-company 2016 sales were projected to exceed $1 billion. The company is independently owned with no disclosed institutional investors, parent, or subsidiaries, and is led by CEO Larry G. Burgamy Jr. (ex-Kinder Morgan) and President and COO Josh R. Henderson (ex-Murphy USA).

Broad incumbents

• Kinder Morgan: Largest US midstream operator with extensive terminal and pipeline networks, including the Southeast terminal network previously managed by Lincoln's CEO. Major incumbent competitor in the same regional terminal market.
• Murphy USA: Large US retail fuel and convenience operator with wholesale fuel marketing arm. Lincoln's President/COO Josh Henderson came from Murphy USA's fuels marketing function, indicating operating-model adjacency even though Murphy is much larger and retail-led.
