Our Specialties
How We Work
We begin every engagement with a deep discovery phase — understanding your objectives, constraints, and the specific technical and commercial questions at stake. No generic frameworks; every engagement is purpose-built.
Rigorous market analysis, technology assessment, and financial modelling grounded in real project data. We draw on a global network of technical experts, industry partners, and regulatory specialists to ensure our analysis is current and actionable.
From investment theses to project development roadmaps, we help clients translate insights into strategy — with a clear-eyed view of execution challenges, capital requirements, and the partnerships needed to succeed.
We don't disappear after the report. BioCarbon Strategies can support clients through deal negotiations, regulatory approvals, partner introductions, and the ongoing advisory needs that arise as projects move from concept to financial close.
Track Record
A selection of major projects Kenneth has advised on, structured, and helped bring to financial close through the U.S. Department of Energy's Loan Programs Office.
DOE loan guarantee financing the expansion of a renewable fuels facility in Great Falls, Montana to produce sustainable aviation fuel, renewable diesel, and renewable naphtha. Upon completion, Montana Renewables is expected to produce approximately half of all North American SAF and about 12% of global SAF through 2030.
Conditional DOE loan guarantee commitment for the world's first large-scale net-zero-emissions alcohol-to-jet (ATJ) SAF production facility in Lake Preston, South Dakota. The project is designed to produce ~60 million gallons of SAF per year, along with ~1.3 billion pounds of protein and animal feed products annually.
DOE Title 17 conditional loan guarantee to finance construction of a large-scale mechanical plastics recycling facility in Erie, Pennsylvania, processing ~160,000 tons/yr of post-consumer waste plastic into recycled PET, HDPE, and PP materials — plus CleanRed™, a novel plastic-waste-based iron-reducing agent for domestic steel manufacturers.
As Global Business Director for Cellulosic Ethanol/Enzymes at DuPont, Kenneth was one of the key leaders in developing this landmark biorefinery in Nevada, Iowa — the world's largest cellulosic ethanol facility at opening. The plant converts corn stover (stalks, leaves, and cobs left after harvest) into clean fuel delivering a 90% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to gasoline, supplying ~500 local farmers within a 30-mile radius.
As Chief Commercial Officer of GranBio, Kenneth negotiated this landmark strategic partnership with NextChem (Maire Tecnimont's energy transition subsidiary) to achieve global leadership in licensing GranBio's patented 2G cellulosic ethanol technology. The alliance combines GranBio's proprietary biomass-to-biofuel technology — already proven at industrial scale in South America — with NextChem's EPC capabilities and worldwide presence across ~50 countries to commercialize second-generation ethanol plants globally.
Three DOE LPO financings, one world-record DuPont biorefinery, and one global technology licensing alliance — spanning roles at DOE, DuPont, GranBio, and BioCarbon Strategies.

With $3.3B+ in financed projects and 35+ years of expertise in renewable fuels, we are your trusted partner for the energy transition.
🚢 Maritime decarbonization is one of the most complex challenges in the energy transition. Green methanol, ammonia, and bio-LNG are emerging as viable pathways — but the commercial structuring, regulatory compliance, and project financing require deep sector expertise.
BioCarbon Strategies works directly with shipping companies, fuel producers, and port infrastructure developers to map the path forward.
💡 Carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration (CCUS) combined with clean hydrogen represents a critical dual pathway for hard-to-abate industrial sectors.
Our team brings hands-on experience from the U.S. Department of Energy's Loan Programs Office — giving us unique insight into how to structure, finance, and de-risk CCUS and hydrogen projects at scale.
