Todd A. Taylor

I am a Minneapolis-based business attorney and have worked in every Midwest state on ethanol, biodiesel, solar, and RNG energy projects. I have also worked with many agriculture-related companies, including large dairies and cattle operations that have installed or examined RNG and AD for compressed natural gas (CNG) for dual-use trucks, solar for shade and even a large cattle feedlot in North Dakota that airlifted cattle to Ukraine. I focus almost exclusively on renewable energy and sustainability companies and projects.

I have worked on biomass-based energy projects for over 25 years, including a wide variety of ethanol, biogas, SAF and hydrogen-based projects. I work closely with my clients to ensure all aspects of a successful project development are in place, including technology licensing, feedstock and input agreements, offtake agreements, engineering, and construction agreements, as well as equity and debt financing. I am currently working on multiple hydrogen projects throughout the U.S., including renewable diesel in the Southeast, methanol production in the Midwest, hydrogen fuel cell projects in the Midwest, a SAF hydrogen project in California, and others.

I work with impact companies and the investors that fund them. Developers, technology companies, private equity, venture capital and infrastructure funds hire me to help with developing and financing sustainable and impact projects, including renewable and conventional energy projects, clean tech, agriculture tech and food tech companies and infrastructure projects. I get hired because I get results.

I also work with entrepreneurs and technology focused companies to start up, create their companies, hire employees, raise angel, venture, crowdfunding and other financing, grow their businesses, buy other companies and sell their business when the time is right.

As a co-founder of a boutique law firm, I work with passion and genuine interest in my clients.

My favorite book is “Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.” I was born in Canada and lived in Brussels, Belgium for four years learning to like mayonnaise on French fries. I love Chess (both the game and the musical). I believe expertise combined with passion is the best way to serve my clients.
