Biodiesel is a clean-burning alternative fuel produced from animal fat or vegetable oil that can be used in a pure form or blended with petroleum diesel. Biodiesel is currently being produced in biodiesel refineries of various sizes across the United States and in Europe. The trend has been toward larger biodiesel refineries capable of producing 30 to 60 million gallons of biodiesel annually.

BrownWinick’s involvement in the United States’ biodiesel industry allows us insight into current market conditions and commercial viability. This insight is invaluable when it comes to developing capital raising strategies that will successfully overcome financing and investment challenges. We have used a variety of innovative financing techniques to move our biodiesel clients from ideas to operations.

Whether it’s negotiating and drafting a design-build agreement for the engineering and construction of a biodiesel refinery, closing debt financing arrangements with the industry’s leading banks or preparing critical operating contracts such as feedstock supply agreements, off-take contracts with biodiesel marketers or risk management agreements, BrownWinick has the knowledge necessary to help you achieve the best possible outcome.
