Biomass & Bioenergy
Engineering and technical leadership for a $6 billion project to convert woody biomass into SAF. Developed FEL2 estimate and feasibility study for an 87-million-gallon-per-year facility integrating advanced gasification and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis with biomass-fueled power generation.
Waste-to-Energy
Multidisciplinary execution of a $200 million greenfield project converting dairy manure into renewable natural gas (RNG), integrating multiple dairy operations, methane capture, and RNG injection into the interstate pipeline network.
Waste-to-Energy
Technical design and execution of a landfill gas-to-energy project converting waste gas into a renewable power source generating 15 MW of continuous electricity for the local grid.
