The law normally requires people who offer financial products to give information to investors before they invest. This information is designed to help investors make an informed decision. If you are a wholesale investor under the definition of that term in clause 3 of Part 1 Schedule 1 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013, the usual rules do not apply to offers of financial products made to you. As a result, you may not receive a complete and balanced set of information. You will also have fewer other legal protections for these investments. Ask questions, read all documents carefully, and seek independent financial advice before committing yourself.
Verta Bioenergy is a Singapore incorporated business that turns chicken manure into biomass pellets that replace coal in industrial boilers.
Built with the support of ENGIE, a global energy company, Verta’s pellets have the same performance as coal, but sells for 23% less, and cuts emissions by about 40%. Combustion performance is proven at large users, and Verta holds around US$10M of annual customer LOIs across six blue chip Philippine manufacturers.
Verta already operates a facility in the Philippines producing over 100 tonnes a month. This round funds the step up to 2,000 tonnes a month within a year, taking the company cash-flow positive.
New Zealand is a natural next market: abundant unused chicken manure, coal users looking to switch, and a price on carbon under the Emissions Trading Scheme that lets buyers avoid a carbon cost on top of the fuel saving, lifting gross margins above the Philippines.
Pacific Channel is opening a co-investment allocation through a New Zealand managed investment scheme.
