Due Diligence in Securing Renewable Feedstocks

Due diligence is an important step for securing feedstock in any type of renewable fuels or renewable chemicals matter.  While due diligence experts in renewable fuels and renewable chemicals projects certainly have a wide variety of functions, the selection, and procurement of feedstock are normally early and high on the list.  This is especially true since feedstock normally encompasses the great majority of the costs of operations.  In helping with financial projections,  feedstock experts will often assist plant owners (or their sources of funding) in making certain that the feedstocks to be used are the best types for the intended market, are readily available on an ongoing basis, and are being secured at the best possible costs.

Large renewable energy and biochemical consulting firms certainly have experts in biofuels and renewable fuels, biomaterials, biomass and biomass power, biotechnologies, and feedstocks, like agricultural waste, algae, biochar, biogas, co2, construction waste, cooking oils, energy crops, fermentation waste, forest products, glycerin, hemp, lignin, municipal solid waste (MSW), palm waste, railroad ties, sludge, solid recovered fuels, and wood waste.
