BioEnergy Solutions offers a cost-free alternative to the capital costs
farmers and other food processors face in coming years to meet new air
quality requirements and greenhouse gas standards. The company designs,
builds and maintains waste-to-gas systems on farms or at processing
facilities, then sells the renewable natural gas to power generators. The property owners benefit from a new source of revenue, sharing in the
sales of biogas and resulting emission credits, while utilities benefit
from a new source of “green”
energy. Prior to joining BioEnergy Solutions, Rippchen filled a number of roles
for Monsanto Dairy Business. Most recently, she was the national brand
manager responsible for guiding the company’s
brand strategy and marketing of its highly successful POSILAC(R)
brand, a pharmaceutical product commonly used throughout the dairy
industry to safely and efficiently increase milk production in cows. Rippchen was a Fresno-based national account representative for Monsanto
from 2004 to 2007, helping dairy farmers to more efficiently manage
their herds, increase milk production and grow their revenues. Between
1998 and 2004, Rippchen managed Monsanto sales areas in Central and
Northern California, New York and Ohio.
