Imperium Renewables, Inc. was a renewable energy company based in Seattle, Washington. It is the parent company for Seattle Biodiesel and Imperium Hawaii in Oahu. The company was founded in 2004[1] by John Plaza.
The company experienced financial hardships when the European Union finalized a tariff on United States biodiesel and forced the company to halt all production in mid-2009.[2] In March 2010 the company restarted its operations.[3]
Imperium Renewables is a stakeholder in Sustainable Aviation Fuels Northwest (SAFN), an organization with over 40 members, that promotes the production of sustainable aviation fuels in the Northwest United States.[4] In September 2013, the Federal Aviation Administration chose Washington state as the location for a national aviation biofuel research center, the Center of Excellence in Alternative Jet Fuels and Environment, which will include Imperium Renewables as one of the industry partners.[5]
In August 2015, Renewable Energy Group Inc (REG), a biofuels company headquartered in Ames, Iowa, announced that it would acquire "substantially all" of Imperium Renewables' assets.[1]
