This year's 100 Most Creative People offers our own, idiosyncratic perspective on business. The selections reflect the breadth of news ideas and new pursuits at play in our business landscape. From interface designer Yugo Nakamura to HBO Documentary Films president Sheila Nevins to futurist Ray Kurzweil, we can attest that creativity is alive and well in 2010.
#42 Cynthia Warner
President Sapphire Energy
A chemical engineer by training, Cynthia Warner, 51, was once one of the highest-ranking women in Big Oil, rising to head of global refining at BP. But working closely with the EPA on industry-wide Clean Air Act improvements and low-carbon fuels, she found herself more and more drawn toward sustainability. In February 2009, she made the leap truly "beyond petroleum," landing at a small San Diego -- based alternative-energy firm. Sapphire Energy is building a demonstration plant in New Mexico that aims to commercialize "green crude" made from algae, sunlight, and carbon dioxide -- and to do it before the big boys, like Exxon-funded Synthetic Genomics.

I have 80 acres in New Mexico that are currently leased to Nearburg Producing Company, and they operate two wells on this property. I would rather see my land used for a BIO FUEL process than for the traditional petroleum drilling and pumping process.
If you are interested, please contact me at the above email address.
