Discovering the Power of Nature

	Legislation such as the Energy Policy Act and the Clean Air Act
	Increased sensitivity toward the environment
	Consumer demand for products with unique qualities
	Regulations promulgated by federal agencies to protect public health and the environment
	Abundant supplies of agricultural commodities
	Presidential executive orders giving preferential treatment to environmentally friendly products

What do all of these have in common? They’ve changed the market conditions in which environmentally friendly, renewable products compete and have spurred demand for development of these products made from agriculture.

That’s where MARC-IV comes in. We’re dedicated to the commercialization of industrial products from agricultural resources. Since 1993 we’ve been instrumental in the research and market development of biodiesel—a cleaner burning fuel for diesel engines that is produced from renewable resources. But there is so much more. We’ve only scratched the surface of agriculture’s capabilities.

At MARC-IV we offer a unique set of entrepreneurial skills with a technical and marketing background, and combine that with the vision and experience needed to take new products from the drawing board to the board room to production and sales. Our focus is examining products with near-term applications and working to bring them to commercialization through a structured step-wise approach. This approach provides a roadmap for the selection and development of the most promising industrial products.
