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.​
