Today, we are the leading producer and marketer of biomethane and environmental compliance solutions in the U.S.

Our deep experience in these areas has given us keen insight and unmatched expertise across the entire spectrum of environmental commodities. We have extensive regulatory knowledge, entrenched industry relationships, and a market-leading asset portfolio. Unlike others in the industry, our broad foundation makes us uniquely suited to identify high-potential assets, structure and manage long-term contracts, optimize pipeline logistics, and maximize value in renewable energy and the associated environmental credits.

Element Markets develops projects that not only create clean energy, but also create valuable environmental commodities. We own several greenhouse gas reduction and solar projects. We also built a large development portfolio of wind projects, which is now part of a strategic development agreement with International Power, which is part of GDF Suez.

In 2010 Element Markets acquired North America’s largest anaerobic digestion project, the Huckabay Ridge facility in Texas, which produces pipeline-quality biomethane. We are developing and constructing several more landfill gas-based biomethane projects that we will own and operate. We also provide biomethane marketing services to third-party projects.

Biomethane currently sells at premiums over traditional natural gas due to the value of the environmental credits produced through the use of renewable fuels. We currently market biomethane from our clients’ operating high BTU projects representing over 2.5 million MMBTUs annually, enough to power more than 26,000 homes or 36,000 cars. Whether we are purchasing the biomethane directly or marketing biomethane on behalf of our clients, Element Markets knows how to structure the optimal solution.

Companies in the power and transportation markets utilize biomethane to generate renewable credits and greenhouse gas avoidances, two areas where Element Markets is the leading player in North America. Because we develop and operate biomethane projects in-house and manage the environmental credit side of the business as well, our clients are able utilize our robust platform to take advantage of premium markets without execution risks. We handle everything involved in taking the biomethane to market, including contracting, gas transportation and administration of the contracts. Our collective expertise allows clients to minimize risks, maximize efficiencies and optimize value.
