Meridian Clean Fuels (MCF)

Meridian Clean Fuels was formed in 2003 to evaluate and structure investment programs featuring energy tax credits for Renewable Energy generation and alternative fuels. It is the successor to Meridian Energy Corporation, and has assisted in structuring and syndicating (through its broker-dealer affiliate, Meridian Investments, Inc.) over $5 billion in equity commitments for alternative energy investments from 1996 to present. These investments have funded projects to supply energy from biomass, coal bed methane gas, coal-based synthetic fuel and wind power, which are eligible for production tax credits under Section 45 of the tax code. Meridian Clean Fuels believes in the commercial potential of wind energy and other renewable sources, and is committed to growing the Section 45 tax credit marketplace for its investors.
