Genscape Announces Strategic Partnership with Progressive Fuels Limited

LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Genscape, a leader in the research, development, and deployment of patented in-the-field energy infrastructure monitoring systems, announces today its strategic partnership with Progressive Fuels Limited (PFL), an independent broker in the physical and financial renewable fuel markets. This partnership between Genscape and PFL lays the groundwork for a streamlined, more transparent way to trade verified RINs in the renewable fuels market.

“Recent fraud in the D4 RIN market has created trust issues and resulted in an uneven playing field for producers. The stringent requirements of the Genscape QAP program will allow PFL to broker their approved plants' RINs on equal footing with those from the largest producers.”

"The strategic partnership between Genscape and PFL clears a path for more liquid, more efficient RINs trading. The pairing is great ... Genscape's RIN Integrity Network™ creates trust in the RIN, and PFL’s Easy Trade© platform enables efficient electronic trading of a trusted product. We are excited to work with PFL to offer this service to the industry," says Robert Barton, Managing Director of Ag & Biofuels at Genscape

This joint venture will create an electronic marketplace for Genscape verified RINs providing buyers and sellers the ability to trade in a more liquid market through PFL’s Easy Trade© platform. Easy Trade© is pioneering the transition of Renewable Identification Number (RINs) trading from voice-negotiated deals to an electronic, more transparent channel.

Genscape's RIN Integrity Network™ is the industry’s most robust Quality Assurance Program (QAP) for RIN verification. The program aligns with the EPA's QAP requirements and provides the most flexibility to renewable fuel producers, obligated parties, mid-market participants and anyone looking to gain trust and confidence in the RINs market.

David Dunn, commodities analyst at PFL, agrees: “Recent fraud in the D4 RIN market has created trust issues and resulted in an uneven playing field for producers. The stringent requirements of the Genscape QAP program will allow PFL to broker their approved plants' RINs on equal footing with those from the largest producers.”
