Imperium Renewables
Renewable energy company From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Imperium Renewables, Inc. was a renewable energy company based in Seattle, Washington. It is the parent company for Seattle Biodiesel and Imperium Hawaii in Oahu. The company was founded in 2004[1] by John Plaza.[2]
The company experienced financial hardships when the European Union finalized a tariff on United States biodiesel and forced the company to halt all production in mid-2009.[3] In March 2010, the company restarted its operations.[4]
Imperium Renewables is a stakeholder in Sustainable Aviation Fuels Northwest (SAFN), an organization with over 40 members, that promotes the production of sustainable aviation fuels in the Northwest United States.[5] In September 2013, the Federal Aviation Administration chose Washington state as the location for a national aviation biofuel research center, the Center of Excellence in Alternative Jet Fuels and Environment, which will include Imperium Renewables as one of the industry partners.[6]
The company has been represented by the law firm Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati.[citation needed]
In August 2015, Renewable Energy Group Inc (REG), a biofuels company headquartered in Ames, Iowa, announced that it would acquire "substantially all" of Imperium Renewables' assets.[1]
