In these capacities, he directed the Administration's efforts on climate change, represented President Clinton in numerous international meetings and negotiations, participated at the highest levels in the development and implementation of energy, clean air and other environmental policy, and advised the President on federal lands and coastal protection policies. Mr. Ballentine was previously Special Assistant to the President for Legislative Affairs, where he focused on energy and environment issues.

Roger is a graduate of the University of Connecticut and Harvard Law School, and is a member of the Connecticut, District of Columbia and the United States Supreme Court bars. ARID has been working closely with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) to help both agencies understand, measure and mitigate these pervasive gasoline storage tank evaporative losses. ARID’s solution to this problem involves the use of PERMEATOR, a hydrocarbon-selective membrane to preferentially separate hydrocarbon vapors from air and reduce evaporative emissions by over 95%. ARID Technologies, Inc. is a recognized leader in the commercialization of novel membrane technologies that provide productivity enhancements and environmental benefits to a diverse group of industries. |
