About Us

Renewable Fuel Products, Inc was formed by the two co-founders with extensive experience in the commercialization of renewable energy alternatives and algae biomass systems.

Renewable Fuel Products, Inc. is in its start up phase and has successfully converted its key technologies into demonstration pilot facilities. 

Management

Peter Bell - Peter was born in South Africa, was educated as an automotive engineer in the UK and is now a US citizen. Peter is often credited with rapid public awareness of biodiesel in the US market through his creation of the "BioWillie" brand of biodiesel in partnership with the legendary country singer, Willie Nelson. His company, Distribution Drive was acquired by a NASDAQ listed company in 2005 and prior to Distribution Drive, Peter was the co-founder & CEO of Flagship Systems, Inc the publisher of an early internet based accounting software system, Flagship.

Peter is the inventor of the Multi Functional Rural Fuel Platform, a humanitarian effort and is the co-founder of Renewable Fuel Products, Inc.

Peterson Conway - Peterson began his research into algal-based biofuels with an attempt to build the world's first algae-powered car, developed in his parent's barn and debuted at the Burning Man festival. A moderate success, it attracted GreenFuel Technologies' head of R&D, which led to Peterson's project management of GreenFuel's first commercial algae-to-biofuels pilot (funded by NASA, MIT and several top tier venture firms) now underway at the Holcomb Bio-Energy Center.

Prior, Peterson's background was in the consumer internet space, where he was part of the founding team of Xoom.com-a PayPal-related e-commerce company backed by Sequoia Partners and Stanford University. Peterson is an active seed investor and advisor to several biofuels/clean technology companies and is a committed biodiesel user. He holds a BA in economics from Dartmouth, resides with his wife in Carmel, California and is the co-founder of Renewable Fuel Products, Inc.

Investors

Technical

Thomas F. Jaramillo - Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering - Stanford University. Tom specializes in researching new energy technologies to reduce global dependence on fossil fuels. His research is focused on developing means to produce energy (or energy carriers) from renewable sources and then convert them to work as efficiently and cleanly as possible. Tom Jaramillo’s Laboratory at Stanford is working with Renewable Fuel Products on fuel characterization and testing. Through continuous sample characterization, Tom’s laboratory provides a crucial technical role in helping RFP develop an ASTM compliant renewable diesel fuel.
