New Partnerships Enhance Ethanol Industry’s Strategic Capabilities
The Renewable Fuels Association (RFA) has announced the addition of two new associate members: Clean Fuels Credit Consortium (CFCC) and Boulay. These organizations bring expertise in tax credit solutions and financial advisory, aiming to support ethanol producers in navigating the industry’s evolving landscape.
“This is a dynamic and transformational time for the ethanol industry, and we’re excited to welcome the innovators at CFCC and Boulay to RFA’s membership,” said RFA President and CEO Geoff Cooper. “CFCC is focused on connecting verified data to real buyers in the clean fuels marketplace, helping producers participate more directly in emerging credit programs and access new sources of value. Boulay brings decades of experience advising renewable fuels companies through every stage of growth, with a strong understanding of the financial and regulatory landscape producers are navigating today. Both organizations offer practical solutions that align closely with the needs of ethanol producers.”
CFCC’s Role in Clean Fuels Market
The Clean Fuels Credit Consortium (CFCC) specializes in transforming operational data into Data-Enriched Commodities (DECs), which facilitates ethanol producers’ participation in clean energy credit markets. By connecting biofuel producers with tax credit buyers and compliance partners, CFCC enhances the efficiency of transactions and minimizes delays. This transparent and auditable model ensures that incentives are delivered effectively across the value chain, opening up new prospects for producers.
