Short Biography of D. Dickinson Henry, Jr.
D. Dickinson Henry, Jr., is the Executive Director of The Jordan Institute, a non-profit organization, located in New Hampshire, which works to minimize the contribution of the built environment to climate change. His current priority is to establish a multi-million dollar state-wide revolving fund to implement strategies for effective demand side management in the built environment.
Mr. Henry has an extensive background on strategic energy and environment issues pertaining to the electrical utility industry. While president of the Audubon Society of New Hampshire, he collaborated on the implementation of the first selective catalytic reduction system on a coal fired power plant in North America. As a private consultant, he pioneered the first conversion in the country of a fifty megawatt coal fired power plant to wood using fluidized bed combustion. He participated extensively in the electric utility restructuring process in New Hampshire and led a consortium of low-income, small business and environmental interests that helped develop a system benefit charge now producing twenty million dollars a year for electric energy efficiency.
Mr. Henry graduated from Harvard College in 1970 to co-found and become president of the Habitat Institute of the Environment until 1975. He then joined the scientific staff at the Massachusetts Audubon Society and was a member of the New England Energy Congress. Under his directorship from 1979 to 1984, the Lake Waramaug Task Force installed the first hypolimnetic withdrawal system in North America to restore that highly eutrophic lake. He was the president of the Audubon Society of New Hampshire from 1987 to 1995. From 1996 to 2004, Mr. Henry's consulting work also involved sheep contract grazing at a commercial scale to manage invasive and exotic vegetation.
