EcoCrop International says "Sustainable forestry investments in emerging markets makes sense"


Ecocrops International maintains that €1,000 investments in sustainable forestry in Europe or in Latin America will remove approximately 100 metric tons of C02 from the environment.  Or that 1,000 hectare plantation will generate 30 to 50 jobs indirectly.  Additionally the investor has a significant and valuable investment that can generate above average returns.

Traditionally investments in sustainable forestry was a small segment of the growing property market, but it generated powerful environmental and social impact.

EcoCrops International maintain that investing in emerging markets such as Estonia and Panama offers not only compelling financial returns but also major social and economic benefits.

When investing in forestry it is important to remember that there is a growing Global demand for legally and sustainably produced timber. Such an investment not only represents an attractive option for portfolio diversification, it also supports the expansion of forest plantations – which combats climate change, reverses deforestation and boosts local economic development in rural regions. 

Furthermore, the long term, real asset nature of wood land investments, combined with flexible harvesting time, an existing supply deficit, and good growing conditions in well-chosen areas, all frequently translate into excellent returns that are cushioned against inflation. 

“Investing in sustainable forestry simply makes good sense for the institutional impact investor,” says James Grainger, Head of Operations of EcoCrops International. “The attractive risk return ratio and demonstrable social and environmental benefits conferred by such projects, especially in Latin America and Europe, are impressive”

Industrial wood pellets are trading at an all-time high.

EcoCrops International reports that Industrial wood pellets, as opposed to domestic wood pellets, are currently trading at an all-time high.  With the Argus 90 day Industrial wood pellet index trading at US$210 per tonne, up strongly from July 2018 where they were trading at US$175. The steep increase in prices is primarily driven by higher demand from European Power Stations.  Such as new power station coming online in the Netherland, Belgium, and Italy.  And existing Power stations such as the huge UK Drax power station burning more wood pellets and burning less coal. This trend is set to increase due to a number of factors: The EU climate change targets for reducing its greenhouse emissions, transforming the EU carbon-based fuel (coal) police towards a low carbon economy by 2050.  With targets for the reductions of greenhouse emissions is set for 2020 and 2030. Germany’s plant to phase out all coal power stations by 2038.  And the increased efficiency of carbon capture a

Secure your online wallets & be careful with online services

You should be wary of any service designed to store your money online. Many exchanges and online wallets suffered from security breaches in the past and such services generally still do not provide enough insurance and security to be used to store money like a bank. Accordingly, you might want to use other types of Cyber currency wallets.  Otherwise, you should choose such services very carefully. Additionally, using two-factor authentication is recommended. Small amounts for everyday uses A Bitcoin wallet is like a wallet with cash. If you wouldn't keep a thousand dollars in your pocket, you might want to have the same consideration for your Bitcoin wallet. In general, it is a good practice to keep only small amounts of bitcoins on your computer, mobile, or server for everyday uses and to keep the remaining part of your funds in a safer environment. Backup your wallet Stored in a safe place, a backup of your wallet can protect you against computer failures and many hu

British Power Generator Drax creates world first Carbon Capture on its wood pellet power plant

Drax’s wood pellet power station has started to capture all C02 produced from the combustion of its wood pellets feedstock. A small demonstration plant located in a facility near Selby, North Yorkshire is capturing the C02 by using an amine-free solvent-based process called C-capture. C-capture was developed by the University of Leeds in conjunction with Drax who invested £400,000 in developing the plant. The Director of Engineering of C-Capture. Said “Working at this scale is really where the engineering gets interesting. The challenge now is to get all the information we need to design and build a capture plant 10,000 times bigger. It’s only really when we get to those sorts of scales that we can start to have an impact on the climate.”  James Grainger of Ecocrops Internationa l said the implication for the wood pellet market is enormous as it will change wood pellets from being carbon neutral fuel source to being carbon positive fuel source. www.ecocropsinternational.com
