Founder & Managing Director
Richard founded Delta Energy Capital after three decades in global energy markets. His experience spans investment, trading, origination, infrastructure, biomass, renewable gas, biocarbon and carbon markets.
Previously, he held senior trading, origination and investment roles at RWE, Barclays and before that Enron Europe. In his career, he has developed, operated, bought and sold power stations of most fuel types, notably the Lynemouth power station in the UK, which converted from coal to be fuelled 100% by wood pellets.
In overseeing RWE's global biomass business, he gained important experience in woody biomass supply chains, especially in the US. At Barclays, he started and grew one of the largest carbon credit trading businesses in the world.
Richard is a qualified accountant with a BSc in Chemistry from the University of Bristol.

Chief Sustainability Officer
Scott has worked on the frontline of sustainability for 30 years. With The Forest Trust, he pioneered responsible sourcing, sustainability certification in tropical forests, No Deforestation, No Exploitation and No Peatland Clearance policies, and regenerative supply chains.
He led the palm oil sector's shift away from destructive environmental practices and human rights abuses, oversaw the first FSC certification in the Congo Basin, and directed a project that removed 4,000 semi-automatic weapons from forest guards in Indonesia.
Scott also brought Drax and Enviva into The Forest Trust and helped both adopt stronger environmental practices.
Today, he continues to lead innovative biocarbon and verification projects while advising leaders on sustainability strategies.

Senior Advisor
Dan has more than 15 years' experience running clean energy business units at oil and gas majors. From 2012 to 2018, he founded and managed BP's environmental commodities division, building the largest renewable natural gas-to-transport fuel value chain in the US.
Transactions include BP's acquisition of Clean Energy Fuels' (NASDAQ: CLNE) RNG business for $155 million, subsequently grown to a book value exceeding $1 billion.
Since 2018, Dan has led Peak Carbon, a developer specialising in the origination, design, build and operation of net-zero aligned projects, including nature-based removals, methane abatement and biocarbon.
Prior to BP, Dan was Head of Clean Energy at Gazprom and Director of International Finance at Arreon Carbon in Beijing, China.

Senior Adviser
Joe has more than 26 years of experience across commodities markets, energy and financial services, combining market expertise with senior executive leadership.
He has held senior roles including CEO of Enron Metals, CEO of Barclays Americas and Deputy CEO of Barclays International. He also serves on the Management Board of Northlander Commodity Advisors.
