SCS professionals are active in, and leaders of industry and professional associations. We organize and participate in workshops and conferences, author and present technical papers, conduct research, and participate in national and state-level legislative and rule-making processes and regulatory policy. Our engineers, environmental consultants, and scientists work in close coordination on environmental solutions.
Jeff Grill is the Business Unit Director of our SCS Energy division, a Vice President of SCS Engineers, and our National Expert on Landfill Gas and Biogas to Energy. His expertise includes the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of biogas to Renewable Gas & energy facilities, including Landfill Gas-to-Energy facilities, biogas treatment facilities, and power plants. He has over 20 years of energy and renewable natural gas (RNG) project development, engineering, and management. His core values are quality, consistency and engineering excellence.

Prior to becoming the Business Unit Director, Jeff led the Energy group’s process engineering division which is responsible for the design of all SCS’s RNG facilities. He provides a wide array of engineering and management services ranging from conceptual to detailed design and implementation.
Jeff has built an execution portfolio of 19 patents and applications and has designed over 50 Renewable Natural Gas processing plants with a combined designed production capacity equivalent to 16% of California’s 2021 residential natural gas consumption. This is equivalent to almost one and a half percent of the US residential natural gas consumption, equating to a reduction of over 4.1 million tons of CO2 GHG emissions or 2.1 million tons of coal burned per year. The capacity of the landfill gas to pipeline quality RNG projects that Jeff has supervised or designed totals over 335 MMCFD for landfill gas to RNG, and over 34 MMCFD for dairy digester and municipal WWTP gas to RNG.

Practice Areas
Since joining SCS in 1980, Mr. Gardner has completed solid waste, hazardous waste, environmental assessment, facility design, compliance audit and other environmental study projects for municipal and private clients. Projects typically have involved feasibility studies, due diligence investigations, facility siting, site investigations, environmental studies, permitting, design and construction services.
Facilities have included landfills, landfill gas control facilities, material recovery facilities, transfer stations, wastewater treatment plants, and support facilities (e.g., roadways, buildings, stormwater, utilities). Other projects have included waste composition studies, rate studies, compliance audits, site assessments, and preparation of various procurement documents.
Mr. Gardner has participated in or directed numerous environmental site assessments, contamination assessments, remedial action plans and remedial construction projects throughout the United States. Project sites have included fuel storage facilities, vehicle maintenance facilities, truck stops, chemical processing plants, active and closed landfill sites, abandoned chemical disposal sites, and superfund sites. Chemical contamination encountered in both soil and groundwater media has included petroleum, heavy metals, dioxin, pesticides, heavy metals, PCBs, and solvents.
