Biomass More Attractive to Investors than Renewables?
June 18, 2010
A KPMG annual survey on global renewable energy mergers and acquisitions worldwide found that 37% of respondents plan to invest in biomass, 36% plan to invest in solar and 35% in wind energy. Here’s the link to the survey, Powering Ahead: 2010 – an outlook for renewable energy M&A.
Survey respondents indicate they prefer biomass plants because of their potential to yield much higher returns than other renewable technologies.
“A well-executed biomass plant can deliver substantially greater economies of scale than wind, and the heat generated from incineration can supply neighbouring buildings, creating another revenue stream,” explained Andy Cox of KPMG.
Large companies, such as the utilities, are looking for the next global trend and biomass looks like it will be the “new wind”, he said.
