Sustainability is a driving force behind the agenda of reducing environmental impacts, and businesses are looking for sustainable solutions that can contribute to this agenda. Environmental issues are directly related to diverse energy generation and consumption. FASTECH’s inception was in response to businesses’ need for sustainable solutions to eliminate these environmental concerns. The end-to-end renewable energy solutions of the company are crafted with a coupling of technology and innovation, making it a leading provider of energy solutions.
A Relentless Pursuit of Finding Solutions
Bagging the title of one of the ‘Innovators of the Year 2024,’ FASTECH acknowledges this honor as a testament to its team’s relentless pursuit of continuous improvement. The company takes pride in its collective effort to address the issues of its clients and add value every step of the way. The core purpose of FASTECH was to serve the needs of the conventional fueling industry at the outset. However, with time, the company has evolved into a leading service provider of what its clients need. With the development of alternative fuels and energy solutions, FASTECH has embraced cutting-edge technology to expand its services to support clients by offering end-to-end energy solutions.
Dan McGill: Bringing the best Every day
Dan McGill, as the President, founder, and CEO of FASTECH, has risen beyond the conventional title of a leader. As a leader, Dan continuously works to bring the best version of himself. Growing up in a military family, he was widely involved in sports throughout high school, college, and beyond. Dan believes success doesn’t come overnight, and one must strive to improve every day to embrace it.
Emphasizing FASTECH’s motto of “better today,” Daniel focuses on continuous improvement. “I try to be a better husband, father, son, and friend, to do better on the tasks at hand, and to be a better human,” shares Dan. Under his visionary leadership, FASTECH does not rest on its position as a company today. Instead, it tries to be better each day.
End-to-End Energy Solutions Provider
As an end-to-end energy solutions provider, FASTECH specializes in the engineering, procurement, construction, and maintenance (EPCM) of energy infrastructure and commercial HVAC. Its expertise lies in alternative fueling, which includes hydrogen, biogas, CNG, RNG, LNG, and propane. With this approach in mind, FASTECH emerged as a leading energy solutions provider in the United States.
The development of renewable energy and alternative fueling infrastructure thrives when there is a cohesive team driving it from conception through operation. In handling multi-stage projects, continuity of management is the most effective way that help FASTECH deliver its projects safely, on time, and within budget.
Vanquishing Rivals
FASTECH’s competitive edge is attributed to its opportunity-seeking approach to take the hydrogen energy and transportation sectors forward. In thwarting competitors, FASTECH centers its value propositions around its experience and willingness to take on unproven technologies. The company’s adaptation of new emerging technologies is evident in its service delivery.
Endorsed by Linde Services, the FASTECH team recently developed a solution to retrofit fleets of grounded compressed hydrogen gas delivery trailers and return them to service. On the other hand, FASTECH holds more than eight patents for various equipment and concepts developed in response to industry and client needs.
While competitors may pass on the chance to implement new energy solutions or charge to take on the risk, FASTECH believes there is always a safe and cost-effective way to tackle a new challenge. FASTECH believes in keeping specialty services in-house to deliver true turnkey solutions, while others may rely on outsourcing major project development components. This risk-taking approach of the company is key to combating industry rivalry.
Overcoming Learning Curve
Dan, while talking about overcoming the challenges of transitioning to renewable energy solutions, has emphasized the need to overcome the learning curve in embracing a new technology. Dan shares, “With every new technology, there will always be a learning curve to overcome.” In overcoming this curve, FASTECH holds the ability to identify critical components of a new project or system that imposes a threat to reliable operation.
The company puts efforts into apprehending the ways to mitigate those challenges through design and constructability reviews. By constantly leveraging the team’s core competencies and past lessons, FASTECH effectively deals with a variety of first-of-their-kind renewable energy solutions.
A Vision of FASTECH’s Future
With a highly proficient team and experiences gathered over the past 30 years, Dan envisions a bright future for FASTECH in renewable energy solutions. Dan foresees a future of renewable energy solutions 30 years from now, where there may be a completely new array of technologies for FASTECH’s clients. By predicting the continued evolution of renewable energy solutions, Dan claims FASTECH is ready to adapt to whatever technology emerges in the future and maintain its position as an industry leader.
Staying Ahead of the Industry Trends
In this continually evolving market environment, staying ahead of the curve is no less than a challenging task. However, FASTECH is all set to embrace technological advancements to stay ahead of the industry trends. Its leadership team has invested a large amount of time and resources in connecting with key national and international players in the renewable energy sector. These relationships have opened FASTECH’s door to new and exciting opportunities to help it stay on the front lines of technological advancements.
Guiding Future Entrepreneurs
FASTECH’s story is proof that a simple idea can develop into a successful business as long as innovation remains a priority. Dan encourages future entrepreneurs and innovators to identify ways of utilizing their strengths to overcome the barriers of entering into new business sectors. In his view, growth can become exponential once our future leaders learn how to effectively maneuver and diversify into new markets or industries. His approach to embarking on a new business landscape is an inspiration to many entrepreneurs and innovators aspiring to start a new entrepreneurial journey.
