Abstract
Many technical, financial and economic factors exist in biomass growth and subsequent processing. These factors are the need for abundant, low cost water and vital nutrients; the careful regulation and soundly engineered containment of genetically engineered organisms; the separation, processing, and conversion of the raw materials to usable products; as well as the need for material transportation. Rewards are expected for investment risks and beta coefficients in this emergent industry. We are reporting on the efficacy of the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) as used by financial firms to determine forecasted investment returns on biomass companies and projects. The production of biomass should fit the CAPM typically used for agriculture Paretian rent calculations, mineral extraction and petroleum (oil & gas) exploration & production with a Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) that is above 15%. The subsequent processing of the biomass must fit the CAPM for petrochemical intermediates, petrochemicals, plastics, thermoplastics, basic chemicals and petroleum refining using conventional data from ROCE in the range of 9-14%. The ROCE for historic extraction and conversion of natural resources is then discussed using the CAPM model by many financial firms (hedge funds, equity funds, and venture capital funds) and governments, in addition to industrial corporations, who invest in renewable energy companies and projects.Biography
