Voovio Technologies US, Inc. has joined the Renewable Fuels Association (RFA) as an associate member, bringing its expertise in digital simulation and workforce productivity to the association’s renewable fuels network.
For ethanol producers, reliable plant performance depends on people having the knowledge and confidence to execute procedures consistently. Joining RFA brings Voovio closer to producers working to strengthen operating discipline, retain critical expertise and get more from their existing assets.
Keeping operational knowledge in the plant
Ethanol plants run lean, and experienced operators carry knowledge that can take years to develop. Making that expertise available across the workforce is essential, particularly as long-serving employees retire.
Voovio develops standard operating procedure (SOP) simulators built on a realistic, photographic replica of each plant. Its proprietary Enhanced Reality technology lets operators walk through their own unit and practice procedures on screen before performing them in the field, with objective and consistent assessment.
Voovio keeps the replica and procedures up to date as the plant changes, helping facilities maintain current training content without adding to plant staff’s workload. This supports stronger operating discipline, helps reduce downtime and operational risk, and preserves critical know-how.
“Ethanol plants run lean, and the tribal knowledge to operate them safely sits with a few experienced people. We give every employee a digital expert that carries that knowledge and is with them 24/7. Joining RFA brings us closer to the producers facing that challenge every day.”
Jaime Aguilera, CEO of Voovio Technologies
A shared focus on stronger plant performance
RFA announced Voovio’s membership on November 9, 2026, alongside Battelle, whose scientific and engineering capabilities support producers with carbon management and wider environmental and operational challenges.
Welcoming both companies, RFA President and CEO Geoff Cooper said:
“Battelle is helping companies tackle sophisticated carbon management and environmental issues with deep technical capabilities, while Voovio is changing how plant knowledge is captured, shared and put into practice. We’re excited to bring both organizations into RFA and connect our members with the resources they offer.”
Geoff Cooper, President and CEO of the Renewable Fuels Association
As an associate member, Voovio will have opportunities to engage with producers and other members through RFA’s industry events, committees and wider network, alongside access to legislative and market updates.
Voovio looks forward to contributing its experience in operator readiness and knowledge retention to the renewable fuels community.
