In March, EcoStrat CEO Jordan Solomon announced the US Standards for Biomass Supply Chain Risk (BSCR) this year. This has been an ongoing 3 year USDOE/BETO project which we are leading with Idaho National Labs for the past year and a half and which has the participation and support of key players in S&P, Moody’s, Fitch, JP Morgan, Poet, Ensyn, Dupont, Pacific Ag, Agco, New Energy Risk, USDA, Chemtex, Georgia Biomass, Argonne National Lab, Raymond James, Stern Brothers, Kilpatrick Townsend, Hamilton Clark, Texas AM, UC Davis and about 25 more.

The BSCR Standards will be a huge impact on decreasing project debt cost and accelerating bio-project development in the US — pertaining to ways to De-Risk Biomass Supply Chains as gathered over the past 16 months though interviews with key participants in the industry.

Solomon gave this illuminating overview at ABLC 2018 in Washington, DC.
