Bioenergy

As the world works towards reducing its carbon footprint, sustainable energy—including the biofuel industry—is gathering momentum around the globe. We not only understand the legal issues surrounding the bioenergy sector, but also have a keen understanding of the practical business and technical aspects of our clients’ projects. Our lawyers work with clients including developers, sponsors, private equity companies and financial institutions on biomass projects both large and small.

We assist with the development and finance aspects of biomass initiatives worldwide involving a range of materials, including:

• Landfill gas
• Livestock waste
• Hay
• Seed hulls
• Corn
• Wood (including wood pellets)
• Municipal solid waste
• Waste coal.

Our dedicated projects & energy transition lawyers are supported by colleagues in offices worldwide in practices including land use and environmental, real estate, tax and regulatory. We assist clients in practical matters including securing sites, entering into equipment procurement and construction contracts (EPC), and negotiating power purchase agreements, sales agreements and other off-take arrangements.
