  • Grand Rapids-Muskegon-Holland, MI (1888PressRelease) December 04, 2022 - Anton R. Williams of Grand Rapids MI, the head of the Anton R. Williams Holding Company of Kalamazoo, is using his background in the oil and gas industry to bring new investments into renewable energy. The firm will focus its attention in the renewable industry on development of critical minerals mining that is needed for wind, solar and electric vehicle operations as well as the production of alternative energy from hydrogen. One idea being circulated to spur new investments in the renewable space is having the creating of alternative energy contracts that can be traded on financial exchanges around the world. The idea as it pertains to trading is for investors to put more funding into renewable energy through derivatives. This would be independent on whether the investors are hedgers or speculators in the financial markets.

    A Tampa FL subsidiary of the Anton R. Williams Holding Co is the primary entity responsible for oversight of renewable energy operations. Anton, the holding company founder, is quoted as stating that "the 21st century is undoubtedly the era of when the primary sources of energy will transition from fossil fuels to renewable forms. Legislation at the federal level for many countries as well as policy from NGOs on climate targets have only served to advance this transition. Lobbying groups have formed and schools have added renewable energy courses and degrees to advance the cause of cleaner, safer energy. Financial investments in the form of derivative contracts is one of the remaining areas which is lagging behind on the renewable transition." Anton also works to bring civic attention to the renewable space through the Anton R. Williams Foundation of Grand Rapids MI, a self funded entity.

    The basis for the Anton R. Williams Holding Company is that Anton is a 9th generation real estate heir. His initial ancestor to the Americas was a real estate, timber and cotton planter in the 1700's named David Williams. Anton's great, great great grandfather Archie P. Williams of Natchez MS, a mixed race millionaire slave owner in the 1800's era of slavery, is the first person in his family to have energy operations. This was in the form of oil and gas production in several states worldwide. These properties, in addition to others, were passed through the generations and the majority owner in the present is Anton R. Williams. These properties are part of the Anton R. Williams Holding Company and are now being used as a platform to assist in the renewable energy change over. The key entity for alternative energy is the Anton R. Williams Renewable Energy Company of Tampa FL.

    Anton R. Williams Holding Company has begun the transition to renewable energy for its own subsidiary companies in a way it hopes will also influence others. One unnamed executive stated, this includes everything from mining for critical minerals needed for solar and wind operations and batteries for electric vehicles. Anton himself has worked on creating futures, options and swaps for renewable energy derivative contracts to be traded on exchanges worldwide. This would push more funding into global renewable operations whether it's from speculative or hedge trading. Records provided to GBWNN show that the Anton R. Williams trust is secured, restricted and monitored.
