Today, many enterprises are entering the quest to deliver renewable fuel to the marketplace and some participate in only part of the value chain from feedstock to transportation fuel. Moreover, as the number of renewable fuel producers increases, the need to increase feedstock supply and diversity is becoming more critical. We therefore founded RenewAgility to share our knowledge and experience with the industry to address this need for information regarding sources and quality of renewable feedstock and contribute to the success of the industry.
