ESG is unique in its focus on the nexus between food, energy, and waste. ESG is poised to build the first in its network of organic, carbon-negative crop factories with on-site renewable energy and waste-to-energy systems, thereby eliminating 1/3 of the cost of food spent on energy.

Identifying sources of energy that are cost effective, do not pollute, nor have a negative impact on the environment requires a paradigm shift – a rethinking of how we achieve a similar energy output from fossil fuels. ESG sites are designed to be powered exclusively by on-site Food-Energy-Waste and Renewable Energy systems, thereby eliminating 1/3 of the cost of food spent on energy. Without the costs of energy, ESG’s margins are far greater than grid-energy-reliant operations, benefiting investors and consumers alike.
ESG Cobleskill’s advanced system of Controlled Environment Agriculture will mass-produce up to 50 different types of NY Grown & Certified organic crops year-round. This carbon-negative crop factory will be 95-99% water efficient and will utilize the following proven renewable technologies: Biogas Digester; Gasifier; Solar PV; LED grow lights; Energy Storage; and Combined Heat & Power.
ESG’s facilities are designed with an emphasis on food safety. The new 385,000 square-foot, carbon-negative crop factory in Cobleskill, NY will deliver 40,000 pounds / 20 tons of fresher, higher-quality produce more quickly and less expensively than current means, to nearby major urban markets every weekday.
ESG was conceived and designed in strict adherence to Environmental, Social and Governance criteria, with a commitment to improving our natural surroundings, fostering positive relationships with our colleagues and community, and building a responsible and responsive organization for our investors. A carbon-negative, renewable energy circular model is not only good business, it’s essential for the health of the planet.

It is fitting that the next revolution in agriculture will start here.

Cobleskill, New York is located in Schoharie County, traditionally known as “Breadbasket of the American Revolution” for its role in feeding troops during the War for Independence. The area has been recognized for its high-quality agriculture for over 250 years.

Today, Schoharie is an economically challenged rural county.

It is also home to SUNY Cobleskill, one of the nation’s top colleges of agriculture and technology, and it is located in close proximity to the New York metropolitan area and other major markets. ESG plans to bring over 185 full time jobs and more than 400 indirect jobs to the area, including internship, research and employment opportunities for SUNY Cobleskill students and members of the campus community.

The Institute for Rural Vitality at SUNY Cobleskill is working in close collaboration with ESG.

Through a START-UP NY program with the college, ESG has been granted a ten-year New York State tax exemption. It was also awarded $5 million by the New York State Regional Economic Development Council to support the growth of the state’s agriculture. ESG continues to attract grants and incentives from federal, state, regional and non-Government entities to ensure its success.

Without the costs of energy, ESG’s margins are far greater than grid-energy-reliant operations, benefiting investors and consumers alike. ESG’s systems are scalable and can be replicated worldwide. A carbon-negative, renewable energy circular model is not only good business, it’s essential for the health of the planet.
