Taylor Biomass Energy is a new company that has emerged from three generations of family-owned businesses.
The Taylor family business has been located on Neelytown Road in Montgomery, NY for almost 20 years. Starting in 1956 as a tree removal service by James Taylor (deceased), the current chairman's father, the family members now operatethree entities: Taylor Biomass Energy, Taylor Recycling Facility and Taylor Recycling Solutions. James Taylor Jr. is President and CEO of Taylor Biomass Energy. His two sons and one daughter are partners of Taylor Recycling Facility. James III is TRF's Managing Partner for Operations; Hans E. Taylor is managing partner for sales; Tonya Taylor is TRF's Managing Partner for Finance and Administration.

Pioneering recycling technology.
Taylor has been widely recognized as a pioneer in developing innovative recycling solutions and for maintaining very high operating standards for safety and environmental integrity. In 1998, Taylor Recycling Facility became NY State's first DEC- approved C&D recycling facility. 97% of the waste received was converted into useful products ...and kept out of landfills. A facility has been built in Iowa with TRF technology.

Custom-Designed Facility at Fresh Kills.
In the fall of 2001, Taylor Recycling was selected by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to custom-design a multi-million dollar facility at Fresh KIlls landfill (right) to sort through 250,000 tons of debris from the World Trade Center attacks.

Taylor Biomass has assembled a research and development team dedicated to converting waste into green energy without negatively impacting the environment.
The Montgomery gasifier is the fruit of those labors.  Taylor has received funding and support from New York State Energy Research and Development Authority.
