Producing Low- and Negative-Carbon Fuels Across Three Continents

This NASDAQ-listed renewable fuels company produces low- and negative-carbon products across three business segments: California ethanol, California dairy renewable natural gas (RNG), and India biodiesel and refined glycerin. Headquartered in Cupertino, California, the organization develops and deploys technologies that replace fossil fuels — operating the Keyes ethanol plant in California alongside dairy biogas, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), and renewable diesel (RD) initiatives.

With approximately 500 employees and $268 million in annual revenue, the organization operates across multi-entity, multi-currency environments spanning US and India subsidiaries. The financial complexity of managing consolidated reporting, intercompany accounting, India regulatory compliance (e-invoice and e-way bill), and real-time planning across distinct production segments required a robust ERP foundation with deep integration capabilities.

Three distinct production businesses — ethanol, renewable natural gas, and biodiesel — consolidated under one Microsoft Dynamics 365 platform, with automated bank integration, BlackLine reconciliation, and Adaptive planning delivering real-time financial clarity.

DynaTech Systems implemented D365 Finance & SCM with a focus on multi-entity financial consolidation, FIFO-based production and inventory costing, automated bank integration with Bank of America, BlackLine financial close integration, Adaptive planning synchronization, and India-specific e-invoice and e-way bill API compliance.

Product Portfolio

Low- and Negative-Carbon Products Replacing Fossil Fuels

Across three production segments — California, India, and RNG — the organization produces a range of renewable fuels, gases, and biochemicals, with several high-value by-products captured as part of each production process.

Renewable Ethanol (California) Renewable Ethanol (California) White
Renewable Ethanol (California)

Corn-based ethanol produced at the Keyes plant through grinding, fermentation, and distillation. CO₂ generated during fermentation is captured as a by-product. FIFO-based batch tracking ensures complete traceability and cost visibility.

Dairy Renewable Natural Gas Dairy Renewable Natural Gas White
Dairy Renewable Natural Gas (RNG)

RNG produced from cow dung and chemical catalysts at California dairy farms — purified and upgraded to pipeline-quality renewable gas. Negative-carbon intensity qualifies for premium credits under California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard.

Biodiesel Biodiesel White
Biodiesel (India)

Biodiesel produced from feedstock, animal tallow, and vegetable oils with FIFO-based batch consumption. Crude glycerin and red biodiesel captured as by-products. Distilled biodiesel produced through a subsequent high-purity distillation process.

Refined Glycerin Refined Glycerin White
Refined Glycerin (India)

Crude glycerin processed with chemicals and heat treatment to produce refined glycerin — a high-value biochemical used in personal care, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications globally.

Sustainable Aviation Fuel Sustainable Aviation Fuel White
Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) & Renewable Diesel

Next-generation low-carbon fuel initiatives in development for aviation and road transport — part of the organization's long-term strategy to expand carbon reduction across hard-to-decarbonize sectors.

Carbon Credit Products Carbon Credit Products White
Carbon Credit Products

Negative-carbon RNG and low-carbon ethanol generate valuable Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs), Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) credits, and renewable energy certificates — creating significant additional revenue streams alongside fuel sales.

Business Functions

5 Core Business Functions Across Multi-Entity Renewable Operations

The organization operates critical business functions spanning procurement, production, sales, inventory, and finance — all consolidated under Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & SCM with multi-entity and multi-currency support for US and India operations.

01

Procurement & Vendor Management

End-to-end procurement cycle for raw materials including corn, used cooking oil, animal tallow, vegetable oils, enzymes, and chemicals — from requisition creation through purchase order processing and supplier invoice management. Effective payment management streamlines overall business cash flow across both US and India entities.

02

Production & Manufacturing

Manages four distinct production processes: Biodiesel production (feedstock processing with FIFO batch consumption and overhead allocation, capturing crude glycerin and red biodiesel as by-products); Distilled Biodiesel (high-purity distillation with FIFO tracking); Refined Glycerin (crude glycerin processing with chemical treatment); Ethanol (corn grinding, fermentation, distillation with CO₂ by-product capture); and RNG (cow dung processing with purification and pipeline-quality upgrading).

03

Sales & Customer Management

Large contract-based sales of biodiesel, refined glycerin, and other products managed with predefined pricing structures through sales agreements. Customer orders processed through sales orders, delivery notes, and invoicing workflows. Streamlined collection and payment processes have strengthened overall cash flow efficiency.

04

Inventory Management

Real-time tracking of raw materials, WIP, and finished goods across multiple production locations. FIFO-based batch and lot-level tracking ensures complete material traceability across all production stages for both US and India operations — critical for carbon credit qualification and regulatory reporting.

05

Finance & Accounting

Multi-entity and multi-currency financial consolidation for US and India operations — including month-end and year-end closing, intercompany accounting, and automated Bank of America API integration. BlackLine integration automates account reconciliations, variance analysis, and intercompany matching. Adaptive integration provides real-time planning and reporting. India statutory compliance via e-invoice and e-way bill API integration.

Business Processes

From Raw Feedstock to Carbon-Negative Fuel — Fully Traced in D365

Each production segment follows a distinct but D365-governed process flow — from feedstock procurement and FIFO batch production through financial consolidation and regulatory reporting — ensuring complete operational and financial transparency across all three businesses.

Biodiesel Biodiesel White
FIFO Batch Production & By-Product Costing

All production processes use FIFO-based batch consumption with overhead cost allocation. By-products (CO₂, crude glycerin, red biodiesel) are costed and tracked automatically within each production batch for full margin visibility.

Multi-Entity Financial Consolidation Multi-Entity Financial Consolidation White
Multi-Entity Financial Consolidation

Consolidated Balance Sheet, Consolidated Income Statement, Balance Sheet by class, and Quarterly Income Statements produced across US and India entities — with automated intercompany elimination and multi-currency revaluation.

India Regulatory Compliance India Regulatory Compliance White
India Regulatory Compliance (E-Invoice & E-Way Bill)

API-based e-invoice and e-way bill integration ensures full compliance with India's GST and logistics regulatory requirements — automating invoice registration and waybill generation for India subsidiary operations.

Carbon Credit Products Carbon Credit Products White
Real-Time Planning & Reporting (Adaptive)

Trial balance synchronization between D365 and Adaptive Insights provides real-time financial planning, reporting, and variance analysis — enabling management to track actual vs. planned performance across all three production segments.

Check Check White
Automated Bank Reconciliation (BlackLine)

GL balances, subledger details, and trial balance data integrated with BlackLine for automatic account reconciliations, variance analysis, transaction matching, and intercompany accounting reconciliations — reducing month-end close time significantly.

Contract-Based Sales & Collections Contract-Based Sales & Collections White
Contract-Based Sales & Collections

Sales agreements govern large-volume biodiesel, glycerin, and ethanol contracts with predefined pricing. Sales orders, delivery notes, and invoicing workflows manage order-to-cash with automated collections tracking and cash flow visibility.
