Got feedstock risk? Talk to an advisor →BDO Zone Ratings
BDO Zone Ratings are the world's first standardized system for assessing regional readiness for biomanufacturing investment. With 67+ published ratings and over $10 billion in capital supported, ratings compress site-selection timelines from years to weeks and connect regions with the world's largest developer network.
Ready to put your region on the map? →Feedstock Supply Insurance
FSI is a purpose-built financing instrument developed with New Energy Risk, the first solution to cap long-term feedstock cost and supply risk. It converts open-ended volatility into investment-grade certainty, transfers exposure to an A-rated insurer, and unlocks financing for projects that might otherwise stall at financial close.
Is feedstock risk blocking your financial close? →Biomass Supply
With 25+ years of experience and over 5 million tons supplied, Ecostrat builds stable, resilient biomass supply chains for bioenergy projects, biofuel facilities, and farms across North America. From wood chips exported by ship to Turkey, to kiln-dried sawdust delivered to Ontario dairy farms, we supply it all.

Feedstock was originally one of the biggest risks on our project. Ecostrat's team was collaborative throughout, taking the work we had already done and building it into their model. Their report addressed investor concerns, and as a result, feedstock became a lower tier diligence item. Ecostrat really is the gold standard in the eyes of investors.
We can do all the outreach we want, but the value is definitely in getting the BDO Zone designation out there. I've had more than 20 companies reach out simply because they found us through the BDO Zone. These are companies that didn't even know our region existed before. Leveraging the network the BDO Zone gave us has been absolutely tremendous.
