*The above consortium members can be minority / majority investors. We, as an arranger, can take lead to form consortium
for a specified project and execute it.
*As most of the biomass producers like to make long-term off-take contracts for 50 -70% of their production capability.
However, due to the facts that banks may raise a concern about liquidity of remaining 50 - 30% and possible future fluctuation
of feedstock procurement price, how the producer would sell the remaining quantity reliably and efficiently will be a key
question. So, our online platform is the solution for our clients to trade on remaining quantity, on top that, we also assist in
off-take arrangement and bespoke services. So that our clients could expect full liquidity of their products from our support.
