Fichtner has provided technical due diligence support to its clients in some of the main UK portfolio transactions in anaerobic digestion, biogas and biomethane. Portfolios present a special challenge as they may include a range of individual projects, across the full spectrum of the project lifecycle, all of which need to be considered on their individual merits and consolidated to inform a single commercial decision. Fichtner has extensive experience in supporting buyers and sellers with tackling these challenges. Examples of our portfolio projects include:

• 2019-20 – Portfolio of eleven AD plants – including food waste to biomethane assets and agricultural CHP assets. Fichtner continues with the long term lender’s monitoring role for this portfolio
