Keep organics local. Build local value.
When organics travel far, communities pay twice—cost and methane. We design fundable systems with deal diligence, negotiation guardrails, and technology selection so pilots are defensible and scalable.

Mission
We exist to keep Hudson Valley organics local—so they create energy, soil value, and public trust.
Why
Organics should build local resilience—not truck miles and methane.
How
We align partners around clear roles, system boundaries, and decision gates.
What
Fundable system designs, diligence artifacts, negotiation guardrails, and technology selection support.
What HVB is
An initiative, not a vendor. We help agencies and partners design fundable systems, diligence decisions, technology selection, and keep governance transparent.
Operating model
Clear lanes, shared kits, and decision-ready artifacts. Explicit ownership keeps pilots fast, accountable, and defensible.
Lane-based coordination
Partners choose a lane and commit to clear handoffs. We keep scope, roles, and decisions visible.
Shared resources
We maintain templates, checklists, and update rituals—so every pilot starts with the same playbook.
Process reference
The full playbook lives in How it works. It documents the milestones, diligence gates, and negotiation guardrails.
Principles
These principles come from the Partner Pledge—the backbone of how we work.
- Truth first. Surface constraints early. No surprises later.
- Defensible decisions. Document assumptions, vendor claims, and decision gates.
- Community trust. Center residents and advocates from day one.
- Real benefits. Define who wins, how it’s measured, and how it’s shared.
- Systems thinking. Move feedstocks, ops, policy, and funding together.
- Ship artifacts. Deliver one-pagers, FAQs, and timelines—not meeting fog.
- Respect EJ realities. Protect overburdened communities. Don’t outsource risk.
