Letter of Opinion

Juniper was asked to provide an Independent Letter of Opinion about a German technology that claimed to be capable of turning wastes into bio-diesel. We assessed the strength of the technology, reporting on its key advantages and competitive position. We also reported on the Market Drivers that underpinned the commercial opportunity, assessed the Technology Risk and the Milestones that needed to be achieved on the path to full commercialisation. The Letter of Opinion provided potential investors with an objective assessment to inform their decision making process.
