  Chris Headrick

  Co-Founder & Chief Commercialization Officer

  Chris has spent more than 30 years answering one question: does the energy pencil out? He entered the industry in 1989 consolidating coal, oil and gas leases, which meant assembling scattered positions into blocks that could produce and could be financed.

  Co-Founder & Chief Commercialization Officer

  Chris has spent more than 30 years answering one question: does the energy pencil out?

  He entered the industry in 1989 consolidating coal, oil and gas leases, which meant assembling scattered positions into blocks that could produce and could be financed. In 2006 he founded Americas Energy Company, a publicly traded oil, gas and coal operator in Kentucky and Tennessee, and served as its CEO. There he managed capital structure, production cost per unit and the margin between them. He later served as Senior Advisor for Mergers and Acquisitions at Miller Energy Resources, evaluating acquisitions in Alaska's Cook Inlet and on the North Slope on their economics, not their story.

  In 2009 Chris discovered the biomass pyrolysis technology behind IBCO and became its first outside investor. He backed it not because it was clean but because its costs could compete without subsidies. In 2015 he founded H2 Energy Group, now Victory Clean Energy, which continues to develop that technology for affordable green hydrogen. As Co-Founder of IBCO, he is taking the same technology to commercial scale. Proven, Not Promised: it has run for more than 19,000 operating hours.

  His conviction is simple: the energy transition will be decided on price, and the technology that wins will be the cheapest, not the greenest.
