Widespread application of biomass, biogas, bioenergy and related technologies require significant upfront investments in such facilities. Whereas investments in solar and wind are booming, investments in biomass and related fields are lagging. We analyse the challenges in attracting investments, identify common themes and suggest a range of suggestions to improve the investment climate: for policymakers and regulators; for investors; and for the project sponsors. Over the years, our company has worked on a wide range of such projects; projects in multiple countries, a variety of inputs (manure, municipal waste, agriwaste, industrial waste), different technologies (pyrolysis, digestion, gasification) and revenue models (electricity, fertiliser, fuel). The investment size was between 500k USD and 20 mln USD
