Project Financier for Biomass Shares Views on Overcoming Investment Barriers & Risks

Sept. 16, 2009 - PRLog -- Shanghai China: Investments in renewable energy keep rising despite the financial meltdown, and the Biomass industry continues to expand and grow around the world. Biomass has proven itself as a viable renewable option for power generation, liquid fuels and chemicals production.

And thanks to the groundbreaking insights of leading Bio-energy project financier Frédéric CRAMPÉ, entrepreneurs are applying the "three-step approach" to structuring their projects to mitigate risks and secure financing in today's tight credit climate.

Frédéric CRAMPÉ is Managing Director of ReEx Capital Asia Pte Ltd, an investment-banking boutique specializing in the Asian Clean Energy sector, and a leading player in the region's clean energy sector. Frédéric's primary expertise is in raising capital: originating investment opportunities, structuring deals and raising funds (debt/equity) for renewable energy infrastructure, biofuel production facilities, energy efficiency projects and green products/services companies.

In his presentation, made at the recently concluded Biomass World 2009 conference in Jakarta, Frédéric CRAMPÉ discusses some of the crippling assumptions on project financing made by Biomass project developers.

"Unfortunately there is no one basic project finance secret formula!" he reports. He adds, "Financing strategies require innovation and flexibility to overcome a range of barriers specific to Biomass projects...Proper Structuring is the KEY to successful financing in today's market conditions!"

"Financing is a challenge and today its harder than ever...The good news is that there is still plenty of liquidity in the market" notes Frédéric.

Frédéric CRAMPÉ's presentation, was one of the highest rated for its timely insights and useful insights on:


The three step approach to structure Biomass projects for financing

-Key stakeholders in the Biomass value chain and the role of financing in the equation.
Risk Matrix for Biomass projects.
-The decision-making process of financiers.
-Risk mitigation measures for Biomass Projects- an Essential step to secure financing..


A video recording of Frédéric CRAMPÉ's presentation is being released for free preview in a run up to the upcoming Biomass & WtE (Waste to Energy) conference. To receive instant access to Frédéric CRAMPÉ's video, visit http://www.futureenergyevents.com/biomass/2009/04/08/fran...

The Biomass & WtE conference itself will be the next must-attend Biomass industry conference in Asia for the year 2009.

With Energy Giants like China and India stepping up renewable energy use around 50,000MW of biomass power projects in the near future, Asia has become the ground zero for biomass industry growth. Biomass & WtE will provide a platform for biofuels and biomass power producers to hear from and interact with leading Biomass feedstock suppliers and technology providers. Participants will also interact with utility executives, leading researchers, policy makers, investors, project developers and BioEnergy pioneers.

Biomass & WtE will also reach out to waste generators, the eager new players in the biomass industry today. Volatile energy costs and mounting climate change concerns are compelling waste generators to think differently about waste liabilities and the rising value of already valuable process side streams. From food processing plants to confined animal feeding operations and even coal power plants, waste generators represent a largely untapped feedstock for biomass power plants and bio refineries.

The Biomass & WtE summit will convene in Shanghai, CHINA, on October 28 and 29, 2009. To view details of the program please visit http://www.futureenergyevents.com/biomass
