Company

Partners

Two chains anchor a project: the professional one that structures it, and the technical one that builds it. Commercially available equipment from established suppliers, integrated by firms with units already in service — the configuration is where the difference lies, not in unproven hardware.

The development chain

Before anything is built, it has to be structured.

A project this size is assembled on paper long before it is assembled on site. Legal, tax, audit, regulatory and communications work runs from first engagement through financial close, and the quality of it decides whether a project is bankable at all.

We carry these disciplines on the executive team and the board of advisors, and retain specialist firms in each jurisdiction where we operate.

LEG

Legal and contracting

Corporate structuring, long-term feedstock supply and offtake agreements, EPC contracts, land and site agreements, and the financing documents that sit beneath them.

Chief Legal Officer on the executive team, supported by international counsel for corporate, project finance and development matters, and local counsel in each jurisdiction where we develop projects
Contract structures drafted and negotiated to international project finance standards
Local counsel in each project jurisdiction, engaged across corporate, regulatory, contractual and financing matters

TAX

Tax and structuring

Cross-border structuring, incentive qualification and transfer pricing across each project and holding jurisdiction.

A Chief Financial Officer on the executive team, with an advisory board that includes senior energy finance experience
Structure built for treaty protection and regulatory compliance in each relevant jurisdiction
Incentive and credit qualification evaluated jurisdiction by jurisdiction with local tax counsel

AUD

Audit and assurance

Independent audit, financial controls, and the reporting cadence lenders and equity partners require through construction and operation.

Independent audit appointed at project-company level
Controls designed against lender reporting requirements
Reporting framework aligned to GAAP, IFRS, the EU Green Bond Standard and the Equator Principles

REG

Regulatory and permitting

Environmental permitting, energy regulation, grid interconnection, and the local approvals that decide whether a site can be built on at all.

Permitting counsel engaged in-market rather than from head office
Interconnection and wheeling applications prepared with the system operator

GOV

Government and community relations

Engagement with municipalities, utilities and national authorities from first contact through construction — and with the communities living nearest the site.

Advisors with economic development and public-sector experience
In-country engagement led by resident managers, not visiting teams
Public consultation before permitting rather than after it

COM

Communications and public relations

Media and stakeholder communication, and the public record of what a project is and is not — which matters more than usual in a sector carrying a difficult history.

An advisor with media and communications background on the board
One technical explanation used with regulators, lenders and communities alike
Claims stated with their basis, so a reader can check rather than trust

The delivery chain

Every stage is built by a proven firm.

Our energy facility is four stages. Each one is delivered by a firm that has done it before, under engineering, procurement and construction oversight that spans the whole facility.

This is the single most effective answer to the question a technical reviewer will ask first: what happens if the technology does not work? Every major component is already in service somewhere else and under performance guarantees.

EPC

Design and Construction

Engineering, procurement and construction across all four stages of the facility design leverages modular standards, process feasibility, mass and energy balance, and operational flexibility to remove single-source dependence and single points of failure.

EPC and EPC-hybrid contract structures with global and regional utility-scale contractors of demonstrated execution experience
Local engineering, architecture and policy support to ensure regulatory compliance, best practice and in-country contribution

O&M

Operations and Maintenance

Dependable operations and asset management experience engaged during early-phase development, design, construction and commissioning, and continuing into training and operations to ensure delivery of outcomes, HSE and asset performance.

A globally recognized best-in-class operator partner with over 80,000 MW of assets under management

Feedstock

Securing and characterizing flexible waste streams to ensure facility utilization, flexible operations and contingency supply provisions.

Direct contracts through concessions, and with municipal, private and industrial waste managers
Continuous chemical analytics to anticipate changes in feedstock characteristics and optimize process recipes — there is no such thing as a homogeneous waste feedstock
Third-party analysis and testing validates process recipes

FSC

Feedstock Selection Center

Selecting, sizing and conditioning desirable feedstocks to consistent specifications to maximize process outcomes.

An automated, optical and hybrid material selection partner ensures high-quality separation by feedstock type
Size reduction, inert material removal and pre-heating deliver ready-to-process feedstocks
Characterization of feedstocks by classification authenticates environmental credits to approved methodologies

CMF

Commodity Manufacturing Facility

Conversion and separation of clean fuels, thermal energy and industrial commodities into saleable fractions.

Material handling and delivery systems for continuous flow processing
Facility controls and digital automation to measure, audit and optimize operations
Process technology licenses for service include performance guarantees

RPF

Renewable Power Facility

Combined-cycle power generation, balance of plant and grid interconnect increase renewable baseload capacity, while voltage regulation, frequency balance and black-start ancillary services increase overall grid stability and recovery capability.

World-class turbine manufacturers ensure efficient, dependable generation
Thermal energy partners maximize waste heat recovery and steam generation for total energy efficiency
Compliant grid interconnect contractors ensure stable and effective integration of services to the grid

Research

Feedstock and co-products, validated independently.

Feedstock characterization and co-product validation are carried out with Texas A&M AgriLife Research, an engagement running since 2019, whose Bio Energy Testing and Analysis Laboratory is headed by Circon’s Chief Scientist.

Independent testing is what turns a specification into a result a counterparty can rely on.

We continue to evaluate utility-scale equipment suppliers and testing and research partners as projects advance. Equipment and technology providers can reach us through the contact page.
