Stern Brothers has a national practice in renewable energy finance representing public and private company developers and operators seeking non-recourse project financing in the biomass to fuels and chemicals, ethanol, biodiesel, methane gas and biomass-to-energy sectors. 

"While we intend to analyze a broad range of financing options, our primary focus will be on loans and loan guarantees, tax credits, taxable and tax-exempt bonds, and other forms of private and institutional investment," says John May, Managing Director at Stern Brothers.  "Our ultimate objective is to put together the lowest cost long term financing package for this first-of-its-kind project.  We have reviewed SynGest's proprietary technology, and are confident that it can be put to good and profitable use in Iowa and beyond," he adds.
