Today, Silverado Green Fuel Inc. announced the appointment of Daniel Basketfield, P.E., to Vice President of Administration and Environmental Engineering. An expert in the area of water resources, Mr. Basketfield’s most recent position was Senior Water Resources Engineer for the Seattle Public Utilities. He also serves on an advisory committee for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Climate Change Science Program.

“We are gratified to have Dan join us at this important time in Silverado’s history,” said Silverado Green Fuel CEO Garry Anselmo. “His credentials and experience are key to our efforts in the construction phase of this project.”

Dr. Warrack Willson, Silverado Green Fuel Vice President of Technology, and Mr. Basketfield met with various Mississippi State officials and engineers following Silverado Green Fuel’s groundbreaking at the Ecoplex in Ackerman, MS. Mr. Basketfield also met with the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality’s Executive Director, Trudy D. Fisher, to initiate permitting for the low-rank coal-water fuel production and testing facility.

Dr. Willson and Mr. Basketfield met with representatives of Pickering Engineering, Great Northern Engineering, and Crowder Engineering while in Mississippi regarding the plant building and site preparation, and the schedule of various phases for project completion. Silverado Green Fuel Inc. has initially contracted with Great Northern Engineering and Pickering Engineering to develop the specifications for the scale-up commercial plant which will convert Mississippi lignite into a petroleum fuel substitute. Crowder Engineering is the county-selected firm which is responsible for construction of the facility building.

“These meetings have moved us to a new level in the progress of the Green Fuel Project,” said Dr. Willson. “We are especially pleased with their content and most importantly the many agreements we reached regarding all milestones both short term and long term. The people in Mississippi are as eager to move forward as we are at Silverado,” he said. “At the same time, we realize there are specific actions that needed to take place for this to happen, and we are making them happen now.”
