Since 1996 he has advocated community-size waste-to-energy systems, reducing reliance on landfill, and emissions rates. His focus today is renewable energy and reaching Net Zero emissions.
Having been involved in project and technology development in the past, he understands the consequences of financial loss when a project or technology fails to attract investment. He is a strong advocate for the need to bridge the requirements and mindset of a project developer or technology innovator to that of the requirements of the financial markets.

Clean Energy Risk Platform
The Comprehensive - Fund, Pre and Post-Commissioning Performance Risk Platform
The most significant problem holding back investment into projects and innovative technologies within the renewable/energy sectors is access to obtaining securities for project capital where the technology has an insufficient track record of providing evidence to the project's cash flow that the plant performance will maintain the project's required debt service.
We discuss with selected underwriters the potential to provide protection against the installation of the technology to be deployed and debt protection caused by unexpected underperformance for ten years after commercialisation. This can be very important for investment into projects where the project developers have developed a project that will deploy technology new to the market.
Allieds' Clean Energy Risk Platform is designed for technology manufacturers with an operational demonstration unit with a reasonable period of operational data.
Technology Accelerator Programme -Innovation; The Beginning of Everything
Supporting new ideas and accelerating clean energy start-ups toward net zero emmissions
According to the European Investment Bank, many manufacturers enter the "Valley of Death" after investing considerable money and time because they were focused on bringing their technology to the market. This often results in the delay of being commercial for between 12 to 24 months to satisfy the technology risk for investors.
That's why our unique Accelerator Programme focuses on the specific needs and challenges required at the commercialisation of the technology, from the very start of its development; by understanding the requirements for investors and working closely with underwriters, we work with the technology provider to monitor those requirements from the early design stages through to the operational demonstration plant operating and then placing them onto our Clean Energy Risk Platform.
