Our Work:
GYPSOIL
GYPSOIL markets a valuable, useful, and environmentally-friendly byproduct of electricity production, calcium sulfate (a.k.a. gypsum). When used in agriculture, it makes soils healthier, crops more drought resistant, and dramatically reduces the fertilizer pollution that chokes our rivers and lakes. Greenleaf brought leading soil scientists from across the country together with policy makers in state and federal government, as well as leading environmental organizations, to ensure that regulatory decisions about synthetic calcium sulfate were made with the newest, most reliable scientific knowledge in hand.
Hy-Bon Project
Greenleaf Advisors, LLC assisted Pfingsten Partners, LLC with its investment in Hy-Bon Engineering Company in 2009 by advising on how climate science would drive regulatory changes in its favor. This regulatory thesis has proven true in Hy-Bon’s traditional oil and gas markets. Hy-Bon’s low pressure gas collection and storage technology converts methane gas (a major GHG) into high value revenue streams.
