OHIO
Creating New Opportunities for Commercial Waste-to-Energy Businesses & Technologies
WHO WE ARE
We are ATIP, a non-profit organization headquartered in Arlington, TX, staffed largely by former USDA researchers & staff dedicated to commercializing promising new Ag technologies & business models around the country.
WHAT WE DO
The ATIP Foundation, affiliated with the US Department of Agriculture, is engaged in Advancing the Bioeconomy in Ohio. We are doing so on a regional basis, utilizing a replicable model developed by the Foundation, premised on the industry-cluster model developed by Michael Porter at Harvard University in the mid-1980s. Our Model is further premised on input gleaned from eight national forums hosted by the Foundation in 2016– 2017, in partnership with the federal Biomass Research & Development (BR&D)1 Board, co-chaired by the US Departments of Agriculture & Energy.
FUTURE ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY
A primary aspect of our Model is to establish and maintain a “GIS Database” that identifies (1) all biomass feed stocks in the region that could be used for conversion to Energy and/or Co-Products; (2) analyze the data to identify potential demonstration sites, where a combination of feed stocks is sufficient for the conversion technologies; (3) identify community leaders and organizations that will work with ATIP to serve as a Regional Advisory Council; (4) draft and finalize a strategic plan for the establishment of the Bioeconomy, as a sustainable, viable “industry cluster”; (5) support its implementation and the facilitation of demonstration projects; and (6) establish within the Advisory Council a working group, to coordinate communication and education of stakeholders.
