Our History

Cindy Thyfault, Founder and CEO of Westar Trade Resources, has provided over 30 years of successful business management consulting for the development, management and funding of biomass conversion technologies, including biofuels, bio-chemicals, and bio-power, both domestically and internationally, as well as value-added agriculture manufacturing and rural commercial businesses.
Founded in 1994, Westar Trade Resources has prepared feasibility studies and assisted with loan and grant applications for clients to procure over $3 billion in financing for over $5 billion in projects from USDA, DOE, DOD, and other government agencies as well as private financing programs. Ms. Thyfault has also worked extensively to promote and develop new and innovative types of funding structures globally for the renewable energy industry.

Westar was recently re-branded in 2018 as Global Biofuture Solutions, LLC (GBS) to encompass a new global risk-based approach utilizing expertise from a team of experienced leadership with a proven track record in developing and implementing global bioeconomy businesses. This new entity was also formed to address new opportunities for launching and managing a suite of unique tools and services to promote increased investment in the low carbon bioeconomy sector both domestically and internationally.

We are pleased to launch this new Global BioFuture Solutions website to showcase our expanded line of leadership, products and services.

Global Biofuture Solutions is dedicated to address the growing need to rapidly create a Low Carbon Bioeconomy through the services of a Global Advisory Team to “work smarter, not harder” and also by developing and managing a suite of high-quality tools and services that can accelerate rapid deployment both domestically and internationally.

We have a flexible retainer fee schedule, and can work with clients on a per-project contract arrangement or on an hourly fee basis as desired. Please contact us for more information and a free consultation.
