Energy consumption will undoubtedly continue to be a growing concern for the world, and alternative energy appears to be the only option. Aside from the price of oil, alternative energy demand is affected by government mandates towards the use of alternative fuels by target dates, the Western world desires to have greater security by decreasing dependence on the Middle East, environmental consciousness, private industry’s need to hedge against the volatile price of oil, and the developed world’s desire to foster “Green” industries that create jobs and increase national economic competitiveness.

Cloud Break Advisors seeks to identify opportunistic investments in the biofuel space as it is in alignment with our core focus of investing in sustainable “hard assets”. The firm believes that the long-term market opportunity will be found in Next Generation biofuels. The abundant lands of Latin America provide opportunity to create scalable operations in the cultivation of biodiesel crops. Stemming from our success in creating large-scale institutional forestry investments, the firm expanded its team, credibility and experience in agronomy to creating opportunities in biodiesel crop production.
