Upon receipt of a completed Clean Fuels Alliance America Membership Application Form, a signed Health Effects Access Agreement (for Producers and Marketers), and a check for the appropriate Minimum Annual Dues, Clean Fuels Alliance America shall act expeditiously on the application pursuant to the procedure detailed in the Clean Fuels Alliance America Directorship Admission Policy.

• Feedstock Producer Organization.¹
• Producer/Marketer.¹

Clean Fuels Alliance America has two classes of Non-Voting/Associate Memberships (Non-Voting):

Clean Fuels Alliance America operates on a fiscal year that starts on October 1 of each year and ends on September 30 of the following year. All dues payments are geared to this schedule. Dues are not tax deductible as charitable deductions but may be tax deductible as ordinary and necessary business expenses. Initial dues will be prorated to the fiscal year quarter in which Membership is granted. An eligible dues pay or must pay dues according to the following:

Feedstock Producer Organization: $10,000 per Clean Fuels Alliance America fiscal year.
Two or more Feedstock Producer Organizations may pool their contributions to meet or exceed the minimum $10,000 dues and, having done so, may jointly appoint the Voting Member to whom they are thereupon entitled.

Producer or Marketer: $2,500 per Clean Fuels Alliance America fiscal year.
Additionally, on gallons above 312,500, members must pay Volume Dues based upon the cumulative annual volume of biodiesel and/or renewable diesel produced, as follows:

Organization: $2,500 per Clean Fuels Alliance America fiscal year.

Individual: $500 per Clean Fuels Alliance America fiscal year.

For purposes of calculating Volume Dues payments, gallons of biodiesel and/or renewable diesel that are sold among Clean Fuels Alliance America members shall be counted only once. Volume Dues on such sales shall be paid only by the first Clean Fuels Alliance America member involved in the transaction (whether the member produces the fuel, purchases it, or simply brokers it).

Faithful attendance at meetings is necessary for the Clean Fuels Alliance America to act faithfully for the benefit of the industry. Proper attendance at an Clean Fuels Alliance America meeting that fails for lack of a quorum is a waste of time for those Members who took the time to faithfully attend, and accomplishes nothing for the industry. Important Notice: An Clean Fuels Alliance America Member, through its Voting Delegate or Alternate, is strongly encouraged to attend all meetings, and expected to attend at least half of all Clean Fuels Alliance America meetings.

Clean Fuels Alliance America’s Governing Board consists of 15 Directors elected by and from Voting Members. Seven (7) of the Directors are elected by Weighted Voting. When a membership vote is taken by Weighted Voting, each Voting Member possesses one vote for each $1,000 in Total Financial Contribution for the first $100,000 and one vote for each additional $10,000. "Total Financial Contribution" includes dues, program funding, contributions to the Clean Fuels Foundation, and cash sponsorship of Clean Fuels Alliance America events due from or obligated by the Member during the previous year and accrued on Clean Fuels Alliance America's books by October 31. The remaining eight (8) Directors are elected by Straight Vote.

A Voting Member must meet all applicable requirements listed in the Clean Fuels Alliance America Membership Admission Policy.
