"John Cusick brings to The Jacobsen a wealth of experience in managing the twists and turns in the US and global renewable fuels world," said president John Donicht. "This includes his traditional customers, the major refiners or "obligated" and "regulated" parties as a supplier and is now planning to serve in the capacity of forecasting and consulting in the space. We welcome his expertise, industry contacts and ability to extend our services to broader audiences."

Mr. Donicht added, "It is both an art and science to understanding nuances of the energy and agriculture markets we represent. We pride ourselves at The Jacobsen for the extensive experience of our analysts. They diligently provide our subscribers with neutral, high quality, relevant and focused information.

As the benchmark for the green fuels segment we see John increasing our core competencies having successfully navigated the complex and often challenging relationship between agriculture inputs and energy outputs woven into the fabric of regulatory credits."

"Biofuels and increasingly biofuel feedstocks are two markets positioned for large volume growth in the coming years," said John Cusick. "I look forward to extending the level of service at The Jacobsen as the renewables segment continues to evolve. Given the regulatory shifts, our bulletins and consulting will provide subscribers with a timely outlook relative to the market. I appreciate that the company has an earned reputation for delivering consistently accurate data over the past 150 years. The company has been able to innovate and be in markets before others see the trends, and establish its position against much bigger organizations, maintaining market share as new entrants compete. It's truly a pleasure to be a member of The Jacobsen."
