BDC Webinar: Panel Discussion on Derisking Capital Market Investment in Biomass

In its ongoing webinar series, Biorenewable Deployment Consortium (BDC) scheduled its 4th webinar for 2021 entitled, “Ecostrat, Panel Discussion on Derisking Capital Market Investment in Biomass.”

Jordan Solomon, President and CEO, Ecostrat, Inc. led the panel discussion along with John Plaza, President and CEO, SkyNRG Americas, Inc., Mark Riedy, Partner, Kilpatrick Townsend and Stockton LLP, and Chris Tindal, Assistant Director and Business Team Lead, Commercial Aviation Alternative Fuels Initiative (CAAFI). The panel discussed how Ecostrat’s rating system for biomass supply risk will promote biorenewable projects.

Ecostrat is currently driving the new BDO Zone Program to unlock new sources of capital for biogas, biochemical, biofuel and biomaterial plants by using the Biomass Supply Chain Risk (BSCR) Standards and Ratings to certify Opportunity Zones that have the best potential for biobased economic development. The BDO Zone Initiative is an economic development tool that attracts new markets that utilize woody biomass.

BDO Zone Ratings show investors and developers the best low-risk areas in the country for new biobased development. They give local communities a credible way to promote and leverage their woody biomass assets to attract new biobased manufacturing plants and create jobs.

By creating more demand for wood fiber, BDO Zone Ratings support landowners, fiber producers, sawmills, and paper companies.
