Minneapolis, June 3 – Renewable energy consulting firm, EcoEngineers, has joined the Minnesota Bio-Fuels Association as a vendor member.

“We are pleased to count EcoEngineers as a vendor member. EcoEngineers has helped the ethanol industry navigate complex and ever-changing compliance requirements over the years,” said Tim Rudnicki, executive director of the Minnesota Bio-Fuels Association.

Established in 2009, EcoEngineers was formed to assist the clean energy industry in, among others, carbon modeling and measurement, energy credit validations and quality control requirements.

“EcoEngineers is a renewable energy consulting firm celebrating 10 years of service to the biofuel industry in 2019.

“Our foundational mission was to help the biofuel producer navigate state and federal clean energy regulations like the Renewable Fuel Standard and Low Carbon Fuel Standard programs,” said Kathy Macbeth, director of sales and marketing at EcoEngineers.

She said the company’s core service offering has since been expanded to include audit, compliance management and consulting services.

The company has also built a deep bench of technical expertise and demonstrated its commitment to the ethanol industry by helping to pioneer the kernel fiber pathway, expanding production through EP3 (efficient producer petition process) and reducing the carbon intensity of ethanol production, Macbeth said.

Other services offered by EcoEngineers to the ethanol industry include energy management solutions, RIN management and compliance support, regulatory consulting, strategy development and advocacy support and Eco University training and education programs.

“We joined the Minnesota Bio-Fuels Association to support Minnesota's biofuel producers connect to new markets, protect their investment and maximize the value of their energy credits,” Macbeth said.
