Stratos Renewables announced today that Roger Ballentine, a former climate change advisor for the Clinton Administration, has joined the company and its efforts to becoming a leader in Latin America’s rapidly growing sugarcane ethanol industry. He brings one of the most respected resumes in the battle against climate change.
Tony Salas, CEO of Stratos, stated, “We’re honored to have such a highly regarded veteran of the renewable energy movement joining our Advisory Board, and we’re looking forward to the guidance and leadership Roger can help provide. Roger elevates what is already a well-respected management team and we’re looking forward to his contributions toward building one of South America’s leading renewable fuel companies.”
Mr. Ballentine was a leading supporter for policy change toward the global climate crisis as he was Chairman of the Clinton/Gore Climate Change Task Force and Deputy Assistant to the President for Environmental Initiatives in the 1990s. He is consulting some of the largest energy companies in the world and now brings his experience and guidance to Stratos.
”I believe that Stratos is positioned nicely to become a meaningful player in Latin American sugar cane ethanol segment due to their vertical integration strategy and lower cost production capability. The combination of the ability to harvest year-round, and with an attractive logistical capability on the coast of Peru, gives Stratos an edge,” stated Roger Ballentine.
Mr. Ballentine is a graduate of Harvard Law School and is currently a visiting professor at the institution teaching in the area of energy and climate change. Prior to serving in the White House, he was a partner at the Washington law firm of Patton Boggs L.L.P. and Adjunct Professor of Law at the Georgetown University Law Center.
