As global energy demand grows and oil prices rise, a boost in bioenergy production via biomass will be one of the main drivers causing Future Market Research to project a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of 10.5% over the next 5 years. Several companies are innovating in the biomass space, which could help them secure larger share of this market that is already worth $121,340.76 million in 2021 according to Grand View Research.
In order to satisfy the 2030 sustainable power requirements, renewable power output needs to increase at at least 6% annually. Compound this required growth with a rise in demand and oil prices, you have market conditions ripe for renewables to thrive.
Renewable energy generated from biomass reduces the CO2 emitted to the atmosphere. That is why the International Energy Agency ‘IEA’ has has released a biomass action plan. The plan is designed to increase the use of energy from forestry, agriculture and waste materials.
The IEA forecasts that its plan will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 209 million tons CO2 equivalent per year; provide direct employment for 250-300 000 people; and reduce reliance on imported energy from 48% to 42% which considering the current geo-political climate is even more important now than it was when the plan was first drafted.
The IEA’s 20 point action plan calls for raising the amount of biofuels produced via biomass without increasing the intensity of agriculture or significantly affecting domestic food production.
INNOVATIVE BIOMASS COMPANIES LEADING THE WAY
Generation Hemp, Inc. (OTCMKTS: GENH) is one company that checks both of these boxes and has “first-mover” advantages in its field.
GENH is the first ‘Hemp as biomass feedstock’ company to market. Hemp has several major advantages in the biomass space. Hemp crops grow in 3 to 4 months, requiring less time and energy to cultivate than wood, making GENH’s biomass solution even greener than the already green biomass process.
Generation Hemp’s (OTCMKTS: GENH) first use case of Hemp as Biomass Feedstock is in a recently announced JV with Crypt Solutions, Inc. installing a two (2) megawatt modular plant for Bitcoin mining that according to recent press should be launch within the next several months. The 2 MWs of power would be able to support 576 mining units. Assuming 100 TH/s per unit, GENH and Crypt Solutions would be able to generate $4.08 Million in Bitcoin revenues in 1 year of operations, assuming today’s spot price of Bitcoin.
Generation Hemp, Inc. (OTCMKTS: GENH) CEO Gary C. Evans attended the 15th annual International Biomass Conference & Expo in Jacksonville, FL earlier this month. He said, “While attending the conference, I had the opportunity to address a panel of five experts in the field with some questions and comments. I asked them had they ever heard of utilizing hemp as a feedstock for biomass boilers rather than the traditional wood waste. Surprisingly, none of them had heard of this idea before. After I explained in detail our company’s plans in this area and how hemp only took 90 – 120 days to grow to maturity and trees took 12 -15 years before harvesting, I think a light bulb went off with all of them. All of my business cards on hand were subsequently given out within ten minutes!”
GENH is leading innovation in the hemp biomass space.
Another major innovator in biomass is Origin Materials, Inc. (NASDAQ: ORGN). In fact, ORGN was named to Fast Company’s prestigious annual list ‘World’s Most Innovative Companies’ for 2022. Origin like GENH uses non-food biomass and has developed a platform for turning the carbon found into useful materials while capturing carbon in the process. Origin’s patented technology platform can produce a wide range of end products, including clothing, textiles, plastics, packaging, car parts, tires, carpeting, toys, and more.
Another company named to Fast Company’s 2022 list of the ‘World’s Most Innovative Companies for 2022’ is Hannon Armstrong (NYSE: HASI), a leading investor in climate solutions. HASI is the first U.S. public company solely dedicated to investments in climate solutions, providing capital to assets developed by leading companies in energy efficiency, renewable energy, and other sustainable infrastructure markets. Hannon has $8 billion AUM (assets under management). Any of the other companies in this report could be potential investments for HASI.
BIOMASS IS AN ESG INVESTMENT
Another biomass company making a prestigious 2022 list, AVANGRID (NYSE: AGR) recognized by Ethisphere as one of the 2022 World’s Most Ethical Companies for the fourth year in a row. AVANGRID has two primary lines of business: Avangrid Networks and Avangrid Renewables. Avangrid Networks owns and operates eight electric and natural gas utilities, serving more than 3.3 million customers in New York and New England. Avangrid Renewables owns and operates a portfolio of renewable energy generation facilities across the United States.
Finally, another biomass penny stock like GENH, is Gevo, Inc. (NASDAQ: GEVO) uses patented technology enabling the use of a variety of low-carbon sustainable feedstocks to produce price-competitive low-carbon products such as gasoline components, jet fuel and diesel fuel. The company recently announced a major fuel deal with the airline organization, Oneworld Alliance.
Oneworld stated that some of its members could purchase up to 200 million gallons of fuel, and Gevo stated that deliveries will start in 2027 and continue for five years. Gevo states that it may be able to bring in more than $800 million in that five year period, which would come from the sale of ethanol produced from corn. Although, Gevo may do well sourcing feedstock from companies like GENH as corn and soy use in feedstock runs the risk of cutting into food production which the IEA frowns on.
Biomass stocks will be major beneficiaries of boosted renewable production. Make sure to start your research today.
