Renewable Energy Projects

Interest in renewable energy projects, the pivot point to the transition to greater sustainability and a smaller carbon footprint, has continued to escalate among entrepreneurs, investors, and policymakers around the world. The International Energy Agency is now predicting renewable energy projects such as renewable electricity generation will increase by more than one-third by 2022, the result of increased power generation from existing facilities and technologies plus the anticipated contributions of scores of renewable energy projects—including those that use alternative and renewable fuels and chemicals that are currently in various stages of development. By 2030 biomass-fueled electricity production alone is projected to triple, to the point that it provides 2 percent of the world’s total electricity generation and 4 percent in Europe, as a result of government policies to promote renewables.

Many involved with these projects come to realize at some point that the complexities of commercializing a renewable energy project, from completing due diligence to gaining approval for loans and grants, often requires the assistance of  what are commonly referred to as green energy consultants, renewable energy consultants, or alternative energy consultants. Such consultants can range from experts who have deep knowledge about and experience with the technical aspects of  biogas, solid biomass, or liquid biofuels. And there are also consultants  who can assist with grant and loan writing, due diligence, project planning, and all aspects of bringing an alternative energy idea to fruition.

Large renewable energy and biochemical consulting firms like Lee Enterprises Consulting normally offer a wide range of services in biofuels, biochemicals, biotechnologies, biomaterials, synthetic biology commercialization, feedstocks, and hemp/cannabis.  These companies should have business and financial services like due diligence, feedstock availability, grants and loans and bio market research.  The company also offers technical and engineering related services like techno economic analysis, environmental evaluations, feasibility studies, risk analysis and expert witness engagements.   They might also have strategic partnerships in place to assist clients with insurance, legal, accounting, plant fabrication, feedstock procurement.
