About
Using our patented Combined Remediation Biomass and Bio-Product Production (CRBBP) Process, we plant and then multi-task very special bio-crops, to do good things for the health of people, the planet and local economies, less expensively, and our CRBBP Process will, among many other things, capture flue gas CO 2, in cooperation with power plants and other large CO 2 emitters and, to remediate contaminated brownfield sites.ATP-MD, LLC (ATP-MD), our Maryland operating affiliate, is preparing to deploy our CRBBP Process, with help from the Exelon Foundation's Climate Change Investment Initiative (http://www.exelonfoundation.org/environment.html), to support several elements of the City of Baltimore's Sustainability Plan, by capturing power plant, industrial and transportation-related CO 2 emissions, cleaning up contaminated brownfield sites in poor, older neighborhoods, while our Bio-Crops are also capturing the air-born particulate matter, which is causing greater COVID-19 morbidity, while also extracting three times the atmospheric CO 2 as the same acreage newly-planted trees.And, recent research is suggesting that airborne particulate matter may, in fact, be COVID-19 vectors, as they both circulate the virus within impacted communities, or maybe even bring the virus from some distance, into communities.

How is your business helping to solve the health, social, or economic challenges created by COVID19?
Our CRBBP Process, among many other things, will capture flue gas CO 2, in cooperation with power plants and other large CO 2 emitters and, to remediate contaminated brownfield sites, in neighborhoods of color.And, our bio-crops can also capture substantial amounts of airborne particulate matter, which is especially important, these days, as communities impacted by this type of air pollution, suffer from asthma and other respiratory diseases and, therefore suffer from coronavirus illnesses to a much higher and much more severe extent.
Does your business contribute most to recovery, response, or resilience?
Resilience - we're improving the broader infrastructure for responding to pandemic outbreaks.,Recovery - we're positioned to support in the recovery of those directly affected.,Response - we're responding directly to issues caused or exacerbated by the COVID-19 outbreak.
What is the stage of your product development?
I have a market-ready product/service. I could sell it to customers
What strengths does your team bring? Include skills and personal experience with the problem.
Having proposed this CRBBP Process Project to the Exelon Foundation’s Climate Change Investment Initiative (See: https://www.exelonfoundation.org/), we are now a selected company, so, according to this initiative, the Exelon team is expected to provide a $100,000 investment and $100,000 in technical assistance to ATP-MD, to advance the CRBBP Process, in Baltimore and in Exelon’s other key markets. Joe James, ATP's founder, is a former, 33-year economic development professional, a biomass leader in the Southeast, and a 2008 Purpose Prize Winner, for his Greening of Black America Initiative. Mr. James has a BS in Science, from Union College, and has studied Law and Business at NYU. He served a 6-year term as a Secretarial appointee to the federal Biomass R&D Technical Advisory Committee, which advises the US Department of Agriculture and the US Department of Energy on biomass research and development programming. To learn more about its founder, why he started his business and its social mission, note the following video:www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBn7OuI1_rM.
