MW Biodiesel Completes Assessment of Available State & Federal Programs for Renewable Fuels
On behalf of client Florida Fuel Solutions (FFS), MW Consulting conducted a comprehensive review of all available State and Federal programs for renewable fuels.
MW Consulting identified state and Federal programs, including several initiatives related to Federal "stimulus" programs. MW Consulting also reviewed four other areas of interest: Federal production incentives; economic development incentives; stimulus-enhanced cost segregation; and RIN monetization and management.

MW Consulting Launches Service to Monetize RINs
International Exchange Services (IES) and MW Consulting have signed an agreement to provide MW Consulting clients access to International Exchange Services' market-leading Renewable Information Number Management Services program. In return, IES clients gain access to MW Consulting's services.
The Renewable Information Number (RIN) program is a critically important, but complicated, financial incentive for renewable fuels producers. It is a forerunner of a 'cap and trade' system, and is also a 'hedge' against market price swings, as the value of a RIN increases when the cost difference increases between producing petroleum-based fuels and renewable fuels.
The IES program generates, validates, tracks, then monetizes and trades RINS, which are ultimately purchased by petroleum refiners to satisfy Federal "renewable fuels portfolio" mandates.

MW Consulting Partnership Turns Glycerin Into Electricity
 |
| This is an actual photo of a "blue flame" fueled by glycerin. This exothermic (heat-producing) process is used to power high efficiency micro turbines to generate electricity, creating renewable energy and a new income stream for biodiesel producers. |
MW Consulting clients now have direct access to a patented process that uses a plasma reactor to transform waste glycerin into synthetic gas (syngas), which can generate renewable electricity to sell back to the energy grid.
MW Consulting is partnering with Florida Syngas (FS) to install reactors using this patented process at client sites nationside. Through this partnership, MW Consulting clients are in a highly advantageous position to access renewable energy funding recently announced by the USDA.
The plasma reactors can produce energy from any carbonaceous fuel. The resulting fuel qualifies for numerous renewable energy tax credits and other incentives.
MW Consulting recently participated in an FS workshop where key production issues, including financing and integration of the FS product into biodiesel plant operating systems, were addressed.

MW Consulting Applies Stimulus Act to Cut Client Taxes
 |
| Major corporate assets like these storage tanks at a Florida biodiesel plant are a prime target for "cost segregation" reviews. |
MW Consulting has announced a strategic partnership with The RHS Group (RHS) to help clients take advantage of changes in the Federal tax code contained in the 2009 "Stimulus Act."
These changes, which are unknown to most businesses, can dramatically reduce taxes, sometimes even resulting in refunds of previously paid taxes.
The primary tool is an accounting principle called "cost segregation," which is used to classify depreciating assets in their most favorable class. The "Stimulus Act".
There is no fee. A small (2-2.5%) commission is collected on actual savings. RHS has reduced client taxes by more than $2 billion over the past five years.
