Mr. Niznik’s due diligence work has been used in the financing of some of the most capital-intensive low-carbon fuels projects in the nation.
Prior to joining Capstone, Mr. Niznik led biofuels consulting at Argus, EcoEngineers and Stratas Advisors, and held leadership roles in biofuels companies on trading, research, and environmental compliance.
Mr. Niznik is a frequent speaker at industry events and for government agencies (U.S. House of Representatives, Committee on Energy and Commerce) and is often cited by the media (NYT, NPR, Reuters).
