St Louis, Missouri — April 1, 2026 — Roeslein Renewables today announced that its founder and board chairman, Rudi Roeslein, has been awarded the prestigious Excellence in Bioenergy Award at the 2026 International Biomass Conference & Expo. In addition to this recognition, Roeslein served as a keynote speaker at the conference, held April 1 at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center in Nashville, Tennessee.

The award, presented by BBI International and Biomass Magazine, recognizes Roeslein’s decades-long leadership in renewable energy development, conservation, and industrial innovation. He was honored alongside Alicia Gibson and Cold Steppe Inc. as part of the conference’s annual awards program celebrating significant contributions to the bioenergy industry.

“I’m honored to accept the Excellence in Bioenergy Award, but there is a lot of work still ahead,” said Rudi Roeslein. “My vision has always been at the intersection of a simple Venn diagram where wildlife, ecosystems, and energy come together. When those systems are aligned, we can restore soil health, improve water quality, strengthen rural economies, and produce renewable energy at scale. We’ve shown it works. Now it’s about continuing to build, partner, and stay focused on delivering strong outcomes.”

Roeslein founded Roeslein & Associates in 1990, building the firm into a global leader in engineering, procurement and construction. He later established Roeslein Renewables to advance renewable natural gas production and anaerobic digestion technologies, converting agricultural and industrial waste into clean energy and sustainable co-products. His work has demonstrated how environmental stewardship and economic growth can advance together at scale, particularly through prairie restoration and land conservation initiatives.

“Each year, these awards recognize the people and projects pushing the biomass industry forward,” said Anna Simet, Director of Content at BBI International and Senior Editor of Biomass Magazine. “This year’s honorees reflect the innovation, determination, and real-world impact that continue to drive bioenergy forward.”

The International Biomass Conference & Expo, held March 31 through April 2, convenes industry leaders, project developers, technology providers, and policymakers to explore advancements across biomass power, thermal energy, fuels, and biobased products. As a keynote speaker, Roeslein shared insights on scaling renewable energy solutions, integrating conservation practices, and advancing the future of sustainable energy systems.

Rural America Faces Mounting Farm Crisis — Roeslein Renewables says Global Maritime Shift Could Unlock $200 Billion in New Agricultural Revenues


International Maritime Organization’s Net-Zero Framework May Offer Long-Term Solution for U.S. Farmers Through Biofuel Demand

ST. LOUIS, Mo. (Sept. 29, 2025) — Rural America is under mounting financial pressure as commodity prices for corn and soybeans have fallen 40-50% from recent highs, while production costs remain elevated. A recent National Corn Growers Association survey shows that nearly half of U.S. farmers believe the nation is on the brink of a farm crisis.1 For many, 2025 marks the third consecutive year of negative profitability, threatening both food security and the stability of local economies.

Industry leaders stress that short-term fixes will not be enough. Instead, new and durable demand markets are required to restore profitability for America’s farmers. A potential breakthrough may come this October, when the International Maritime Organization (IMO) is expected to finalize its Net-Zero Framework, requiring large ocean-going vessels to cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions beginning in 2027.2

Prairie Prophets Production Team Wins 2025 Prairie Communicator Award

Prairie Prophets has featured hunters, prairie conservationists, renewable energy professionals, landowners, and others to effectively communicate the many-faceted benefits of prairie and prairie plants to a diverse audience.

Alternative Energy and Conservation Pioneer Roeslein Renewables Earns International Renewable Energy Certification

Roeslein Renewables, a leader in alternative energy and conservation, has been awarded ISCC PLUS and ISCC EU certifications for biomass feedstocks used in renewable natural gas (RNG) production. This is the first ISCC certification for biomass-based crop residues, including cover crops, processed for clean-burning RNG.

The certification represents a critical step in expanding market access for U.S.-produced RNG in fast-growing international renewable energy markets. It also opens new revenue opportunities and supports rural and agricultural economies.

“With agricultural trade deficits likely to reach record highs in 2025, unlocking new export markets for U.S.-produced renewable natural gas can be a critical part of the solution,” said Bryan Sievers, director of government relations for Roeslein Renewables.
