The FCStone Renewable Fuels Group takes great pride in being an industry leader in the biodiesel market. Biodiesel has made tremendous progress in the last year, in part due to the Jobs Bill signed by President George W. Bush. The market has also received enormous support from companies and individuals seeking to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. The biodiesel infrastructure will only continue to grow as more and more states begin to implement mandatory blending of biodiesel.

The Renewable Fuels Group has both an in-depth understanding of the biodiesel inputs (various feedstocks, methanol and catalyst) and of the outputs (biodiesel and glycerin). Our group utilizes cash, futures and over-the-counter (OTC) products to help minimize risk and maximize margins for our biodiesel customers.

FCStone’s Renewable Fuels Group currently works with some of the largest biodiesel plants in the United States. Our Renewable Fuels Group closely monitors biodiesel margins for customers through an Integrated Risk Management Program (IRMP) specifically tailored to their needs.
