Tied Branch Consultants help organizations set measurable goals for sustainability, clean air, and community impact while ensuring operational and financial viability. Our approach focuses on identifying opportunities where advanced fuels, energy efficiency, and innovative technologies deliver both environmental benefits and strong returns.

​

Underlying Costs Structure:

A successful renewable energy or biofuels project begins with understanding the underlying cost drivers. Two primary factors typically determine operational costs: feedstock availability and utilities—including renewable natural gas, water, and low-carbon electricity. Regions with streamlined permitting and regulatory processes can accelerate project timelines, allowing producers to achieve operational readiness faster and more efficiently.

​

Optimizing Sites and Infrastructure:

Selecting the right site is critical for cost-effective operations. Locations should minimize feedstock delivery costs and optimize access to markets. Transportation mode—road, rail, or water—can be as important as distance, particularly for bulk shipments. For RNG projects, cleaning and injection infrastructure may be the main barrier to entry. For propane or hydrogen, sourcing green fuels and strategically consuming them onsite, nearby, or in dedicated applications can maximize efficiency and minimize costs.

​

Incentives Packages:

Federal, state, and local incentives can significantly improve project economics. Beyond direct financial support, policies like expedited permitting, air emissions approvals, and streamlined construction regulations can create competitive advantages for renewable energy and biofuel projects. Tied Branch helps identify the most relevant incentives and align them with your operational strategy.

​

Developer Assessment:

Choosing the right developer or technology partner is critical. We provide insight into the reputation, expertise, and innovation capacity of facility developers, helping you ask the right questions and avoid costly mistakes. Our guidance ensures that partnerships are aligned with your objectives and positioned for cost-effective, scalable outcomes.

​

Community Concerns:

Community support is essential for timely project deployment. Tied Branch helps organizations anticipate and manage concerns related to odors, truck traffic, noise, dust control, and site lighting. We also support Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) strategies and corporate branding, ensuring that projects are not only operationally successful but also positively received by the communities they serve.
