Hudson Valley, NY

Hudson Valley Biogas keeps the circular organics pilots honest, transparent, and partner-led.

We align municipal hosts, feedstock anchors, designers, and funders around shared principles so each pilot moves from briefing to built with predictable clarity while orchestrating relationships, enabling shared tools, and keeping the promise of circular organics practical.

Mission

Coordinate the Hudson Valley’s circular organics pilots so municipal, institutional, and operational partners move forward with shared context and predictable commitments.

What Hudson Valley Biogas is

Hudson Valley Biogas is an initiative, not a vendor. We keep partners aligned on proof-of-concept work, maintain shared templates, and anchor trust through transparent choreography—so the region’s circular systems feel like a public infrastructure project, not a procurement.

Operating model

We pair lanes, partner kits, and pilot templates so teams know who owns what. When the lane combinations are clear, pilots land faster and the work stays accountable.

Lane-based coordination

Partners self-select a lane (convener, sponsor, developer, etc.), align on the pledge, and we orchestrate hand-offs.

Shared resources

We keep a living Partner Kit, templates, and update rituals so every pilot has the same intake and visibility artifacts.

Principles

Each principle is adapted from the Partner Pledge because the pledge is the cultural backbone of this initiative.

  • Truth first. We spotlight constraints and uncertainties before they can become surprises.
  • Community trust. Projects prove their legitimacy by centering residents, advocates, and neighborhood needs.
  • Real benefits. Every pilot spells out who wins, how success is measured, and how gains are shared.
  • Systems thinking. Feedstock, operations, policy, and funding move together—not in silos.
  • Ship artifacts. We deliver one-pagers, FAQs, and timelines instead of yet another meeting.
  • Respect EJ realities. The initiative protects overburdened communities and refuses to outsource risks.

How to join

Start here if you are new and ready to learn the lanes, or jump directly into the partner intake once you know your role.

The initiative is partner-led: we combine advocates, municipalities, developers, feedstock suppliers, and funders. Pick the path that fits you.
