Biography: 
Peter Sherk currently serves on the board of Wabash Valley Resources, a development company in which he has personally invested and is actively involved. The Wabash project involves the repurposing of an existing Gasifier complex, which formerly operated as a IGCC, into a large scale producer of Carbon Free Hydrogen, achieved by becoming the country’s largest CO2 sequestration project, sequestering 1.6 million tons of CO2 per year into permanent geological storage. While still in the development stage, this innovative project has attracted attention from major oil companies, environmental organizations, the international clean hydrogen industry as well as green energy investors. Prior to focusing his efforts on this project, Peter was CEO Americas for Mercuria Energy Trading, a global physical commodity trading and investments house, based in Geneva, with offices in Greenwich, Houston, Denver, Calgary, and Mexico City. Before joining Mercuria, Peter spent 17 years at Morgan Stanley in the Commodities Division, as a natural gas derivatives trader, Managing Director and Head of North American Natural Gas trading, then Head of the Natural Gas and Power group and ultimately served as Global Cohead of the Commodities Division and Senior Managing Director on the Global Institutional Securities Management Team.
