The Standards for Biomass
Supply Chain Risk
De-risking Capital Market Investment in Biomass
Standards drive investment into biomass
The BSCR Standards are a step-change advancement in the state-of-the-science for assessing biomass feedstock risk. They de-risk capital market investment in biofuels, biopower, biochemicals and bioproducts.
The Standards enable capital to better structure around feedstock risk. With over 230 validated risk factors and indicators for agricultural and wood biomass supply chain systems, they are the most comprehensive compilation available today of risks that can impact biomass feedstock supply.
By providing investors with a superior means for evaluating and mitigating feedstock risk, the Standards allow capital to flow more easily, more quickly and less expensively to biomass-based projects.
