At BioShare, we offer a comprehensive Concept and Feasibility Study service to operators and owners of Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plants or other biomass boiler operators who are looking to transform their assets into next-generation biorefineries. Our service is tailored to help clients diversify and future-proof their operations by introducing the production of high-value renewable products such as Synthetic Biogas (SBG), Electro-Methane (e-methane), Biochar, Fischer-Tropsch (FT) Wax, and Methanol.
Our studies provide a strategic framework that integrates technical, commercial, and regulatory perspectives, and include:
-
Site Screening and Selection: We assess potential new and existing sites based on infrastructure availability, feedstock access, grid connections, logistics, and expansion potential.
-
Strategic Fit Assessment: Each concept is tested against the client’s corporate strategy, sustainability goals, and market positioning to ensure alignment with long-term objectives.
-
Market and Product Opportunity Analysis: We evaluate current and forecasted market dynamics for each product (SBG, e-methane, Biochar, FT-Wax, Methanol), including pricing, off-take potential, and competitive landscape.
-
Energy Integration Potential: Our experts perform detailed evaluations of how the proposed biorefinery processes can integrate with the existing energy systems at the CHP site, maximizing heat recovery, reducing parasitic loads, and improving overall energy efficiency.
-
Overall Risk Charter: We deliver a structured risk overview, identifying and classifying technical, commercial, financial, and regulatory risks, while proposing mitigation strategies.
-
General Permitting and Regulatory Pathway Assessment: We provide an early assessment of the permitting environment, identifying potential hurdles related to environmental impact, grid connection, renewable energy certification (such as RFNBO standards), and product handling.
By engaging BioShare at this early stage, CHP operators will be positioned to make well-informed investment decisions, access public grants, attract financing, and move swiftly into the next phases of development with minimized risk and enhanced project value.
