ABSTRACT: The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) confirmed it in 2019: we are living in a world with zero-sum planetary capital supply. Even if we have all the material resources we will come to need, we also require air, land, and water capacity to extract, process, or otherwise generate usable material or finished goods from these raw materials. Unfortunately, that air, land, and water capacity is already scarce, subscribed, or non-existent. At the same time, straits and canals are not getting any wider, spectrum is filling, and outer space is outgrowing the “good intentions” basis for access and use established in the 1960s. The global economy can no longer shunt air, land, and water management into an off-line scoreboard of social measurements and public relations point-scoring. In order to develop the knowledge necessary for an expandable global economy, we need a public shift towards the use of GeoCapital Asset Management (GCAM)™, which restates geocapital management principles and management taxonomy to address current geocapital supply conditions. As chemical engineers, geocapital management and optimization presents an increasingly relevant set of challenges and opportunities for us, and Planet A* Strategies is at the forefront of GCAM efforts. We are deeply privileged to hear from Maureen T. Koetz, founder of Planet A* Strategies, for her insights on GeoCapital Asset Management™.

BIOGRAPHY: Maureen T. Koetz is the founder of Planet A* Strategies, a small, woman-owned consultancy to public and private enterprise, law firms, and community organizations on air, land, and water asset supply and value, sustainability risk, and natural asset appropriation. Applying analytic modeling first developed for energy and national security planning, she is a leader in quantification-based operational sustainability using Geocapital Asset Management™ (GCAM), an advanced recapitalization programming system used to optimize operational air, land and water asset use and identify objectively sustainable investment return. Clients and partners include Federal and municipal agencies, private equity, engineering, and law firms, and non-profit and community organizations. Ms. Koetz has co-founded the GCAM™ Committee, collaborating with the New York City Sierra Club to expand application of public trust and natural asset inventory requirements to multiple NYC development, zoning, resiliency, and energy projects that improperly access and convert public air, land, and water assets to private profit, and interfere with overdue NYC environmental law compliance and enforcement. Ms. Koetz previously served as a Presidential appointee to the Senior Executive Service in the United States Air Force. In her capacity as Acting Assistant Secretary and Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Installations, Environment, and Logistics, she managed a 10-million acre/$250 billion asset portfolio in support of sustainable operations for the largest energy consumer in the federal government and one of the largest transport systems in the world. Her portfolio included military construction, infrastructure recapitalization, clean energy acquisition, Natural Resource Trustee, and Historic Preservation Officer, overseeing ongoing base closures and disposition, streamlining department procedures, and reducing program spending, while also developing the first Defense Department programs to sustain operational geocapital capacity in response to increasing mission encroachment. Ms. Koetz has also held positions as Counsel for the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee and US Senator Pete Domenici, as a senior policy director for green energy development, and has represented both government and private interests at multiple international Conferences of the Parties on Climate Change and the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development. She regularly addresses conferences, executive seminars, and workshops on transformational strategies for achieving sustainable enterprise operations as part of economic development. In addition, she has been an Adjunct Professor of Environmental Finance at NYU-Poly, an attorney with the US Environmental Protection Agency, is a veteran of active duty service with the US Navy, and has written on several areas related to sustainability. She holds a Juris Doctor from the Washington College of Law at American University, a Bachelor of Arts degree from the American University, and is a member of the Bar of the State of New York.
