3Fueled is the next generation renewable energy company for a cleaner and brighter tomorrow. 3Fueled consults with and invest in innovative companies to produce energy and byproducts from annually renewable feedstock. 3Fueled helps its clients transform biomass into high-value specialty products, such as: densified biomass, biodiesel, biogases, and biolubricants. 3Fueled’s investments will range from the farm level, through the supply chain to densification and ultimately power generation.
3Fueled recognizes that new ventures in renewable energy need technical excellence grounded in economic realities. We seek to serve as management consultants to those individuals and companies who intend to lead the renewable revolution in 2009 and beyond. The expected customer base includes emerging industrial-biotechnology firms, existing utility and chemical companies, and agricultural operations. We will help our clients realize innovation at less cost and/or in less time than they could accomplish alone - with a guarantee of top-quality, professional service. With our assistance our clients will also achieve sustainability from the perspective of the triple bottom lines - economic, environmental, and social responsibilities in all their business activities.3Fueled is currently in the start-up phase and is located in the John Pappajohn Entrepreneurial Center Student Business Incubator at The University of Northern Iowa. Utilizing an investment from outside investors, our business plan projects a modest profit over the three-year period and a healthy net worth at the end of year 3 (2012). At this point the firm should be well-positioned to add additional consultants to grow the business, leverage its experience to invest in renewable energy production plants, or consider a buy-out from a large consultancy firm. Additionally, current joint-venture opportunities and supply chain relationships are already being formed.Current projects include:
