Jason has prepared numerous feasibility studies, environmental assessments, and environmental impacts statements for renewable energy projects for DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.  These include an EIS for the construction and operation of a biomass-to-ethanol and energy production facility and associated transmission line as well as the preparation of over 50 EAs for Recovery Act-funded projects.  These projects include solar facilities, wind turbines, geothermal projects, hydroelectric facilities, and biomass/biorefineries, as summarized below.

Jason was contracted to assist Abengoa Bioenergy Biorefinery of Kansas and the DOE with NEPA analysis for a proposed cellulosic ethanol production plant and cogeneration facility near Hugoton, Kansas. 

Jason was on the team awarded to prepare five EAs involving similar projects for cell and battery manufacturing facilities.

Jason was competitively awarded a contract to prepare eight EAs for smart grid projects selected to receive government funding. 

Jason was on the team that provided in-depth NEPA support services to the DOE Golden Field Office and EERE’s Environmental Stewardship Group at DOE Headquarters. This support included providing services to assist the Federal NEPA Document Managers in managing and/or preparing EAs for a wide variety of renewable energy projects funded under the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009.

Jason was on the team awarded to prepare six EAs for various projects related to combined heat and power (CHP) and waste energy recovery in support of EERE.
