OUR APPROACH

We put our industry experience and know-how to work to create value for our clients and all our stakeholders. We combine our laboratory research, feedstream quality assessments, quantitative analytics, product specifications, logistics, and overall market assessment across the entire supply chain, from origination to end-user delivery, to architect a profitable investment project to create meaningful value in our portfolio.

Our approach to decision-making gets crystalized in a Partnering Agreement which is centered under three core pillars:

ROBUST PROCESS ENGINEERING ASSESSMENT

Fundamental research is at the heart of everything we do. We assess feedstream quality and preliminary processing needs in relation to targeted finished product requirements. We utilize simulation models (for heat and material balance), engineering costing models (impacting size/scale of operations), lab-scale analytics, historical data, and pilot-scale prototyping techniques including those impacting optimal proprietary catalyst choices.

ON-SITE INFRASTRUCTURE & PSM ANALYSIS

Our team uses a network of qualified industry partners to conduct assessments of available local resources including physical infrastructure, access, security, qualified labor, utilities, safety (HSE), permitting and supply-chain considerations. Our discipline in Operations Excellence, Process Safety and Risk Management are core of our business success. We identify, measure, monitor and manage critical issues and risk mitigation strategies throughout all our projects. This helps to assure the preliminary planning decisions reflect sound business opportunities.   

ALIGNED DECISION-MAKING / GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE

We focus on building alignment between our Client expectations, our Engineering Team, our Investor Board, our Technical Advisors and any 3rd party lead-partnering firms to frame projects that meet our portfolio expectations with process safety being our highest priority. We factor in learnings, know-how and critical industry experience from all our project work. We operate with complete transparency, trust and integrity.

PARTNERING AGREEMENT

Upon successful planning and alignment of critical decisions, we architect a partnering agreement clearly outlining roles, responsibilities, deadlines, risk mitigation strategies, incentives and more. This sets in motion the project arrangements for a successful operational and economic outcome for our clients.
