Today, Fortistar, a private company focused on investments in energy
sources for transitioning to a zero-carbon economy, announced that it
has retained Specialized Biogas Services (SBS) headed by William Held.
Under Bill’s leadership, SBS will be assisting in the development,
implementation and performance of a variety of services related to the
landfill gas and renewable energy markets.
Held has more than 35 years of experience in the environmental and
renewable energy markets, and services development; specifically, with
landfills, landfill gas, biogas technologies, and all aspects of
renewable energy project development and implementation.
SBS will assist Fortistar in leveraging their capabilities in landfill
gas to energy plant operations and maintenance to develop services for
clients in the solid waste market. These services include air and
environmental reporting; permitting, data management and analysis; and
overall project analysis, feasibility and management.
“William is well respected by municipalities and the energy industry,
and is known for his ability to deliver innovative projects that create
revenue and reduce carbon emissions. I look forward to working closely
with SBS to create new services for the solid waste and lower carbon
energy markets,” said Mark Comora, President, Fortistar. “At Fortistar,
we believe strongly that sustainability,at no additional cost, is the
key to a successful transition to a zero-carbon society.”
Held formed SBS in early 2016, focusing on the development of biogas and
Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) projects from project development to fuel
distribution. Prior to SBS, Held was a senior director of renewable
energy at Republic Services.
For more than 30 years as a privately-owned firm, Fortistar has built,
invested in and managed an unparalleled portfolio of successful
co-generation and other transitional clean energy generation projects in
the U.S. and Canada. Fortistar’s ability to forge strong relationships
with partners and local communities has been a hallmark of company’s
formula for success.
