Markets
UTILITIES ("WWE"): WASTE WATER ENERGY for CLEAN Air, Soil and Water.
There are significant synergies between these market sectors: technologies, flows, clients, financial & industrial models.
Waste & water
Waste contains raw materials and thermal potential to be recovered. Water preservation requires efficient industrial, mining and municipal waste-water treatments, requiring or generating energy. Sludges are waste with the potential of becoming an energy source. At ENERIS we strive to excel in waste and water collection, treatment, recycling and management.
Energy
Energy transition from fossil fuels to alternative, clean and renewable sources. “Smart Cities” are based on eTransportation and “distributed” energy (domestic production and consumption) from cogeneration, with an emphasis on efficient energy storage.
Business Models
(design & build, finance & operate)
There are many synergies and new models in existence between operators which hold the markets and technology and finance providers.
Operations
Infrastructure, logistics and services. Capex intensive, recurrent revenues. Controlled access to markets and financing.
Cleantech
Technology providers and engineering. Proprietary, original, innovative and more efficient technologies with proper guarantees. In some cases production constitutes a key competitive advantage and can open markets for operators.
Financing
Adequate long term viable financing structures and models (ie AssetCo/OpCo, LLPs, PPP, subsidies, project finance, mezz...).
A financial group approach: size, synergies, diversification, local concessions plus cleantech.
Key Success Factors
Know-how
References and track record. Proven solutions. Expertise to evaluate and implement innovation.
Innovation
Convergence, new solutions, technologies and services when allied with operations and references are main competitive factors.
Integration
Vertical integration (analysis of the value chain) Transferring and combining technologies New Models (ie. product as a service) Market consolidation
