Opportunity in structuring
Agricultural waste · pyrolysis · distributed energyCreate several valuable outputs from one unavoidable waste stream.
AFG is assessing an SPV model that would own and finance integrated pyrolysis and energy assets at agricultural sites, beginning with poultry-litter opportunities.
The circular-economy problem
Agricultural waste is continuous, operationally material and increasingly expensive to manage, while farms also face energy and resilience costs.
- Recurring feedstock at operating sites
- Waste management and environmental constraints
- Energy demand close to the proposed assets
Integrated asset concept
The proposed platform combines pyrolysis with relevant energy recovery, storage and product-handling systems rather than treating each component as a disconnected sale.
- Pyrolysis asset and feed systems
- Heat and optional power recovery
- Biochar and nutrient-product pathways
- Measurement needed for carbon integrity
Commercial pathway
The SPV would seek long-dated site, feedstock, service and offtake arrangements before institutional capital is approached.
- First sites used to prove the contract model
- Template designed for replication
- Customer avoids outright equipment ownership
- Revenue rights allocated clearly to the SPV
Capital strategy
The project remains in discovery and fundability assessment. Capital should follow validated mass-energy balances, approvals strategy, contracts and a bankable financial model.
- Development capital before asset capital
- Stage-gated technical and planning diligence
- Potential blended infrastructure structure
- No investment terms published at this stage
What diligence should test
This opportunity depends on the integrity of the entire system—not a single equipment claim.
- Feedstock volume, moisture and variability
- Planning and environmental approvals
- Mass and energy balance
- Product quality and offtake
- Carbon methodology and revenue ownership
- Operator capability and lifecycle cost
Controlled diligence
Go beyond the public profile.
