McClain Porter

As Chief Commercial Officer, R. McClain Porter leads one of the main pillars of Bioenergy Devco (BDC) in ensuring the commercial success of each project. As a project takes shape in its nascent stage, the commercial team is charged with objectively analyzing the economic viability of the development, and commercializing projects earlier in the process with feedstock and energy contracts. The primary goal is to gear BDC's deployment of development resources to augment projects' economics and biological operations.

Before joining BDC, Mr. Porter was Founder and President of Catalyst RNG, where he and his team provided services in renewable energy project development such as securing funding, feedstock acquisition, and energy offtake for both internal and client projects. Prior to founding Catalyst, he worked in the renewable energy space with FreemanApplegate Partners, an energy efficiency auditing service provider, where he held responsibilities in client origination and project conception with commercial and industrial facilities. In prior years, he worked with a small governmental agency and local business owners to eradicate invasive species from populated areas in central Idaho, thus protecting the watershed and securing the future of related jobs in the region.

Mr. Porter holds degrees in Environmental Policy and Business Administration and looks to continue utilizing the effective pairing of his environmental experience and business acumen.
