Who We Are
EcoEngineers is a renewable energy consulting firm, working hard to help build a clean energy economy on the backbone of the water-energy nexus. Our efforts since 2009 have focused on low-carbon fuels or biofuels such as biodiesel, ethanol, biogas, renewable electricity, and advanced fuels that include renewable biodiesel, renewable natural gas, cellulosic ethanol, as well as low-carbon fuels produced from municipal solid waste, pyrolysis oil and other cellulosic feedstocks.
Our team of experienced professionals hold in-depth knowledge of international biofuel regulations that include the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS), Clean Fuel Program (CFP), Renewable Energy Directive (RED) and Cap & Trade regulations and policies. We are engineers and scientists, compliance specialists and regulatory consultants, financial and life-cycle analysts, market researchers, trusted advisors, entrepreneurs and industry innovators. We leverage our pioneering achievements and demonstrated successes to help our clients execute on business objectives that result in low-carbon, domestically produced fuels or to move sustainability initiatives forward. We are committed to working with clients, regulators, government leaders and industry organizations on sound, clean energy policy and regulatory advancements.
The future is bright. The markets we serve continue to evolve and grow as the world enters an era where sustainable solutions to preserve clean air and clean water are being demanded and clean carbon is the preferred energy source.
