Company Founders
Jason Masters- President
Mr. Masters has been a scientist and military officer for almost 13 years. He holds a Master’s of Science in Marine Chemistry and an MBA in Finance, Strategy and International Business. Mr. Masters was an green house gas scientist for the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). He held the position as a scientist and officer where he interacted with foreign dignitaries and scientists to grapple with the then initial questions of climate change. He changed directions when the research was continually pointing to a mandate to act now. Energy was the primary sector to focus his activities to effect change.
Mr. Masters became involved in biodiesel because it has the quickest potential to begin counteracting anthropogenic climate change. He is a national speaker on biodiesel and its effects and has been contracted by New York State (NYSERDA and NYS Ag & Markets) to develop the infrastructure required in New York State to bring biodiesel into the market.
Mr. Masters’ company, Northern Biodiesel, is located just east of Rochester, NY. The facility will become operational by June 2007 with a capacity to produce 7.5 million gallons per year. Through Mr. Masters’ integrated ecosystem based approach he has been continually pushing for local scale production utilizing local feedstocks to form an integrated renewable energy network. It is through small to medium scale renewable energy businesses that we create the strength of a diversified network that serves the regional needs through regional resources.
