Flight Plan to the Future — Redefining Renewable Refining with USDA Support
Challenge - New Rise Renewables (NRRR), based in Nevada, originally secured a USDA 9003 Loan Guarantee to support the development of a renewable diesel production facility. As market dynamics evolved and demand for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) surged, NRRR identified a strategic opportunity to retrofit its existing operation to produce SAF. This transition required not only technical modifications and certification alignment, but also a restructured business strategy and continued federal engagement to ensure long-term viability and regulatory compliance.
Our Role - QuantaVision supported NRRR from the outset—first by providing the USDA-aligned feasibility study and strategic consulting for the loan for the renewable diesel facility through to financial close. When the company decided to pivot to SAF production, we also served as a grantwriter and strategic consultant for the conversion project.
Result - NRRR successfully repositioned its facility from renewable diesel to SAF production. NRRR is now poised to meet growing SAF demand while maintaining its commitment to renewable energy leadership and regulatory excellence.
