Verno provides a number of research and advisory services to our clients. We tailor these services according to the needs and goals of our clients, but list major examples below:
Market Research and Custom Research Inquiries
Verno Systems analyzes biofuels markets, policies, economics, technologies, supply chain developments, and other topics. We deliver comprehensive market analyses and research reports on custom inquiries.
Biofuel Strategy Development
Verno Systems develops, in coordination with our clients, advanced biofuel strategies to meet their unique goals and requirements.
Supply Opportunity Identification
Verno Systems identifies the leading and most credible advanced biofuel supply opportunities according to criteria prioritized by our end-user clients. Feedstock and fuel supply opportunities are evaluated and qualified against our robust research corpus and database. Verno can identify indicative off-take terms and potential supply chain gaps for each credible biofuel or feedstock supply opportunity.
Due Diligence
Verno Systems conducts in-depth commercial and technical due diligence on the feedstock/fuel suppliers and supply chain partners, as required, on behalf of our clients.
Supply Chain Gap Analysis
Verno Systems performs supply chain gap analyses on the potential suppliers. This emerging industry is fragmented and characterized by risk and misinformation. Gap analyses examine the entire prospective supply chain, from feedstock production to processing to conversion to logistics. Gap analyses identify where third-party contracting is required to complete the aviation biofuel supply chain and which third party operators provide such services in each target region.
Supply Chain and Partnership Recommendations
Verno Systems develops supply chain partner recommendations, as required for each supply opportunity, and their respective indicative terms of engagement. Where appropriate and requested, Verno manages these partner relationships on behalf of our clients.
Deal Structuring and Negotiation
Verno Systems negotiates, in coordination with and on behalf of our clients, commercial terms with suppliers and supply chain partners. Verno will work with the client and supply chain participants, where applicable, to negotiate the structure of commercial agreements, chain of custody, and certification requirements through the supply chain.
