Hudson Valley, NY
From scraps to systems.
Hudson Valley Biogas turns organic waste into local energy and soil value. We design fundable systems that help agencies diligence deals, negotiate guardrails, and select the right technology to scale.

Start with your audience
Choose your path
Pick the role that fits you. We'll route you to the right partners, resources, and next steps.
Municipalities
Town and county teams building pilots, permitting plans, and procurement-ready decision support.
Follow the municipal pathBusinesses
Manufacturers, generators, haulers, and operators keeping feedstocks, logistics, and reuse moving.
Open the business pathFunders
Philanthropy, CDFIs, and investors looking for proof points, pipeline metrics, and field-ready funding asks.
Review the funder pathHow partners plug in
Partner lanes that ship pilots
Choose a path. Then meet the partners who turn plans into action.
Convene & Coordinate
Municipalities, coalitions, and agencies steward outreach, permitting, and funding for new organics systems.
HVB supplies the coalition OS—weekly cadence, decision-ready deliverables, and a grant-ready package. That lets you convene without second-guessing.
Pilot a Site
Facilities, WWTPs, transfer stations, and landfills needing a concrete concept to test circular organics infrastructure.
HVB delivers the site narrative, technical framing, and community story so your pilot is ready for funding.
Fund & Supply
Funders, developers, and suppliers who keep feedstocks, equipment, and capital flowing into new circular programs.
HVB curates proof points, pipeline metrics, and resource-ready materials to make every ask feel institutional.
Proof of work
Systems scoped, tested, and ready to share.
Each system includes a community narrative, operational notes, and grant-ready artifacts—so decisions move faster.
Monticello Transfer Station
‘Gateway’ transfer concept with waste, compost, and resource-recovery neighbors.
Taylor-Montgomery
Large feedstock clusters paired with WWTPs for community-scale gas-to-grid pilots.
Beacon Recycling & Transfer
Transfer and recycling campus adjacent to riverine logistics, ready for anaerobic upgrades.
Ulster County Resource Recovery Agency
Regional partnership with compost, landfill, and waterside landscape insights.
Impact, from the Hudson Valley outward
Local diversion. Global climate gains
Local
- Organics diversion pilots keep feedstocks out of landfills and flow them into soil, fuel, and energy.
- Waterway/ecosystem restoration plus new green jobs ensure communities feel the benefit.
Regional & State
- Aligns with NY’s CLCPA targets through measurable methane avoidance.
- Prioritizes EJ neighborhoods while modernizing infrastructure without displacement.
Global
- Methane reduction + circular economy proof points that reassure national and funder audiences.
- Methods & transparency built into every system narrative and pilot package.
What we do
Projects you can fund and permit
HVB coordinates the minimum viable coalition—so you move fast, with less risk and more trust.
Grant-Ready Circular Project Package
Fixed-scope sprint that delivers a fundable pilot concept. It covers site and feedstock fit, the concept narrative, coalition plan, letter pipeline, and a diligence checklist so assumptions surface early. Board-ready questions and decision gates keep review cycles efficient.
8–10 weeks
Templates + playbooks
Submission-ready
Partner lanes (clear roles, less chaos)
Conveners, municipal sponsors, developers, feedstock anchors, and grant leads each have a defined job to keep momentum. We layer negotiation guardrails, red-flag callouts, and status checks so scope stays clear.
Coalition OS
Weekly cadence
Named owners
Proof over hype
We publish artifacts—pilot one-pagers, benefits maps, FAQs, and a pipeline dashboard for transparency. Technology selection support rides with those artifacts so procurement teams understand the trade-offs. That lets trust compound and replication feel realistic.

Drivers for change
Why this exists
Policy pressure, climate targets, justice expectations, and the ecological work that keeps the Valley healthy.
Food waste diversion
New state rules ask municipalities and businesses to reroute edible organics from landfills. HVB makes it practical to meet the requirement with circular pilots.
Read the food waste law
Climate mandates (CLCPA)
The CLCPA sets aggressive emissions and energy goals. HVB designs infrastructure that turns organic waste into renewable fuel and local power.

Environmental justice, built in
EJ concerns now guide siting and piloting. HVB builds transparency, engagement, and accountability into every proposal.
Explore the EJ policy
Invasive biomass loops
Managing invasive biomass and maintenance waste is costly. HVB turns those streams into pilot-worthy energy and soil value.

Why the Hudson Valley leads
Why the Hudson Valley is built for pilots
Dense organics flows + active policy + visible sites. That combo makes pilots realistic.
- Established organics streams--from municipalities to food hubs--are already mapped, so we skip the discovery gap.
- WWTPs and biosolids programs already need storage/stabilization partners, giving pilots built-in feedstock and tangible solutions.
- State/regional policy is investing in circular organics and anaerobic digestion, creating tailwinds for pilots anchored in the Hudson Valley.
Spatial clarity
Past assessment layers show where organics volumes exist, where treatment sites are clustered, and where transport corridors already converge--so partnerships can start with confidence.
How it works
Five moves from idea to pilot
HVB is designed to run without founder burnout: partners execute, HVB orchestrates, and every cycle produces reusable assets.
1
Choose the beachhead
Pick one pilot geography and buyer profile for the next cycle. Publish the “why here, why now.”
2
Productize the work
Run the Grant-Ready Project Package sprint with templates, roles, and a tight timeline.
3
Build the coalition OS
Recruit the minimum viable coalition: convener, municipal sponsor, developer/engineer, feedstock anchor, grant lead.
4
Ship proof
Publish pilot artifacts (one-pager + FAQ + benefits map) and keep a visible pipeline to earn trust.
5
Scale via replication
Turn wins and lessons into a playbook and scorecard to select the next site quickly and honestly.
Systems library
Ten site archetypes
Diagrams that turn big ideas into real site concepts.
Research backbone
The proof is in the documents.
Use these modules in your next proposal: two flagship reports plus one case study.
Feedstocks assessment
Regional resource potential and system context for organics-to-value solutions.
Circular biogas systems
Ten siting concepts + coverage strategy for the Hudson Valley.
