HGA has been working on clean energy sector development for over 15 years. Our experience derives from ground-level, greenfield development efforts, trailblazing in the emerging markets of Asia. We have originated, structured, contracted and sought capital for projects in wind, solar and biomass power generation. We have worked on carbon accounting within projects and amongst portfolios, including developing a new UNFCCC carbon methodology. We have experience creating the modeling necessary to appropriately project energy production and carbon reductions from inherently variable sources.
The tabs below provide a sampling of clean energy project work completed.
Clean Energy Experience
Grown Biomass Power Generation: Seema Energy, Thailand
Wind Farm Development: Heilongjiang + Ningxia, China
Biodiesel Portfolio: Third Generation Process
Solar Thermal Technology Market Identification
90 MW integrated reforestation and renewable power project, Nakhonratchasima Province, Thailand. Led commercial development for a closed-loop, carbon neutral, dendro-thermal energy project, encompassing 40,000 hectares of sustainable, biodiverse plantation-based reforestation using fast-growth tree species. Under a new CDM methodology we developed for the project, 330,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions per year would be avoided and would sequester 2.25 million tonnes of carbon in standing timber. Developed contract documentation and led negotiations with multiple Thai ministries, featuring an ambitious public-private partnership with the Government of Thailand covering contract plantation farming on public lands. Responsible for financial advisory activities for raising equity and debt capital, supported by robust financial modeling, information memoranda, marketing road shows, and negotiations. 
127.5 MW Wind Farm, Heilongjiang Province, China. Provided comprehensive financial and commercial advisory services to a Hong Kong-based company exploring development of and funding for three wind farms. Responsible for resource modeling, commercial project structuring, wind turbine sourcing, JV and EPC contract negotiation, financial modeling, marketing, equity and debt fundraising.
1,000MW Wind Farm, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia. Working with State Grid and the Ningxia Autonomous Regional Government, undertook early stage development structuring efforts for a multi-stage wind farm development on provincial-owned desert land. Developed a unique Chinese law-compliant holding company model in order to create equity partnership potential for incremental farm investments. 
Clean Diesel Project Development Company – Asia Regional.
Principal in formation of a regional ‘third generation’ biodiesel project development company joint venture with a regional technical services company and the patent holder of a revolutionary low temperature, low pressure production process yielding EN 590 specification-compliant biodiesel. Development pipeline comprised:
