Ariel Re insures warranty of sustainable waste manager
Ariel Re has insured the long-term performance warranty of Ecogensus LLC, a provider of advanced technology for sustainable waste management solutions. Through its Lloyd’s Syndicate 1910, Ariel Re provides insurance coverage to backstop comprehensive performance guarantees for Ecogensus’ recyclers, which process solid waste into high performance biofuels.
In addition to the performance warranty, Ariel Re and Ecogensus have also developed a project revenue protection programme, which is structured to support debt lenders and based on an up-to-10-year facility level output performance warranty. This programme may be coupled with a facility start-up guarantee, which provides a seamless enterprise risk management solution, Ariel says.
George Schulz, leader Americas of Ariel Re Clean Energy Risk Solutions, said: “As the demand for sustainable waste management solutions continues to grow and project owners and investors seek support of complex performance warranties from recycling solution providers, the Ecogensus team has demonstrated a scalable waste recycling solution with a strong focus on robust and reliable performance; with open dialogue and sharing of information, it enables us to tailor a custom risk transfer solution.”
Bjornulf Ostvik, founder and CEO of Ecogensus, added: “We are excited to partner with Ariel Re to provide reliability and certainty to our customers as we roll out our sustainability solutions globally. Our recycling technology offers market-leading waste processing capabilities and enables viable landfill alternatives. The Ariel Re programme can enable our customers to access competitive financing solutions as they upgrade their facilities and enhance their valuations with our state-of-the-art recycling solutions.”
