Bioenergy projects all have similar challenges.
- Bankable Feedstock Supply
- Effective Technology Selection, Acquistion & Construction
- Product Off-take
- Project Financing - Equity, Tax Equity & Debt
For Bioenergy it's about identifying, planning and securing biomass feedstock on a bankable basis, ensuring that the biomass is suitable for the intended purpose, that the conversion technology is able to do what is planned, determining the best way to sell the end product to a bankable buyer, and then packing this into a bankable project.
We focus on waste biomass because it is abundant, affordable and truly renewable.
Building a Bioenergy facility based on using virgin forest wood is not renewable or financially viable. To be truly renewable and affordable, the feedstock needs to be either cultivated, or it needs to be Waste Biomass.
We formed EcoLoop Advisers because, while there are many consultants out there with academic theories about using waste biomass for Bioenergy, there are few advisers that have hands on experience acquiring it, processing it and generating tangible results.
We solved these exact same questions in our own businesses and realized that the market needed independent executive level expertise that could answer key questions, conduct feasibility studies, validate resource allocation, provide assessments and solutions for collection and disposal, help solve complex supply, logistics, facility and operations challenges, and advise companies and investors about waste biomass project and business viability and value. We have worked in the U.S., Europe, Central and South America and Asia.
Small is accountable and affordable.
EcoLoop Advisers is a boutique consultancy led by Marc Owensby, focused on helping companies exploring, planning or looking to acquire biomass energy projects to succeed. For each project we bring in the right experts from around the world for optimum results, accountability and affordability.
