Bion Environmental Technologies, Inc. acknowledged the passing on Saturday of Dominic Bassani, the company?s former Chief Executive Officer, after an extended illness. Mr. Bassani?s association with Bion began as a consultant in 2000, with a focus on strategic planning and special projects. In 2006, he assumed the role of CEO.

As the driving force behind the development of Bion?s second and third generation technologies, his legacy will be pioneering solutions to one of the greatest environmental problems in the world today: the air and water quality impacts from livestock production. He was a co-inventor of Bion?s third generation technology platform ? Gen3Tech and patented Ammonia Recovery System ?

that represents the state-of-the-art in comprehensive waste treatment and nutrient recovery for livestock and other concentrated organic waste streams. Mr. Bassani stepped down as Bion?s CEO in 2022, when Bion began the transition from R&D to commercialization of its technology. He remained as Chief Operating Officer, but due to an extended period of hospitalization and the years of battling his final illness, all his management duties and responsibilities were transferred to other members of the team he built.
