ANNAPOLIS, Md., Feb. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Bioenergy Devco (BDC), a global leader in the design, engineering, construction, financing, and operation of advanced anaerobic digestion facilities, today announced three changes to its executive leadership team. After a year of growth in 2021, including an established pipeline of project sites around the country, permitting and construction of two sites in the mid-Atlantic, and a $100 million capital raise, 2022 will see continued expansion for BDC and its first fully operational facility in the US set for opening in the first half of this year.

With extensive, cross-sector experience in engineering and construction, waste management innovation, facility development, and renewable energy partnerships, the appointment of three executives to new positions in the company signals the company's transition into its next phase of business operations and sets the stage for rapid project development. BDC's extensive growth and momentum reflect an increasing demand for sustainable energy and waste management solutions that help combat the climate crisis and reduce our reliance on fossil fuels. Through the effective and sustainable management of organic waste and production of renewable energy worldwide, the company is poised to address the 103 million tons of food waste generated in the US annually.

The experts leading the deployment of advanced anaerobic digestion in the US include:

• Sylvia Hendron – Chief Development Officer: New to BDC, Sylvia brings over 20 years of professional engineering, construction, project development, operations, and senior management experience in geo-environmental consulting, environmental construction, and the renewable energy industry. As Chief Development Officer, Sylvia will focus on company growth, product development, and innovative partnerships.

BDC has also announced two new promotions within the executive leadership team:

• Peter Ettinger – Chief Strategy Officer: Peter focuses on a range of external affairs activities, including aligning projects to the company's vision and expansion plans, as well as overseeing BDC's sustainability, public affairs, and policy and government relations efforts. Peter previously served as Chief Development Officer at BDC.
• R. McClain Porter – Chief Commercial Officer: Previously BDC's Senior Director of Energy, McClain's new role will focus on ensuring the commercial success of each project.
