<\/em><\/p>\nEncore Green Environmental has worked with the Goertz family for three years to now successfully bring water from an energy source to their land, to be put to beneficial use for ag and conservation. This new agreement paves the way for the landowner and midstream company to meet Environmental, Stewardship, Governance (ESG) goals.<\/p>\n
Owen Goertz, co-owner of the ranch, said, \u201cToday, we finally broke the glass ceiling. We ranch on arid land and additional water is vital to us and every rancher working today. This signals a new era.\u201d<\/p>\n
The agreement was brokered by Kimberly Wurtz of Dennis & Wurtz PLLC. \u201cWe tell landowners that \u2018Your property is our priority\u2019 as we work to find new paths for stronger landowner relationships in the energy space. Our goal is to create a win-win,\u201d says Kimberly Wurtz.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve just created a win-win for all concerned,\u201d says Marvin Nash of Encore Green Environmental. \u201cWe\u2019ve said for a while now that the energy industry\u2019s next midstream partner is agriculture. This is the new way forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
John Robitaille, who works with Encore Green Environmental and is the director of the Carbon Asset Network, sees great potential in this as well, \u201cThis acreage will be a part of CAN, which is a company dedicated to increasing soil health. Better soil is the key for the land to healthier vegetation, a greater yield, and through photosynthesis, an increase in carbon sequestration.\u201d CAN is partnered with the nonprofit Synergy for Ecological Solutions.<\/p>\n
Synergy for Ecological Solutions is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit who bring donors called Change Agents together with Land Stewards.<\/p>\n
The energy community and landowners have historically had uneasy relations, but the opportunity to work together can achieve great things for each party. This agreement is the first of its kind and hopefully will represent a better, more cooperative future.<\/p>\n
