Experience and background

The firm’s lead consultant, Javier Garrido, has 19 years of experience as an environmental consultant. His background includes integrated environmental permits, hazardous and nonhazardous waste, contaminated soils, discharges, and all aspects of greenhouse gases: applications, allowance allocation, emissions-monitoring plans, verification, and the carbon market. He has worked in sectors including industrial ceramics, food and agriculture, energy, biomass, livestock, and food production.
