What We Do
EcoLive transforms industrial businesses with a conventional role in the traditional economy into manufacturing businesses of high value-added products in the environmental sector.
EcoLive's approach is to acquire traditional industrial assets with environmental potential. Through the introduction of new technology, management expertise and fresh market orientation, EcoLive creates alternative value chains in the new low carbon economy for these businesses. EcoLive companies emerge as industrial-scale manufacturers of commodities and products vital to such industries as non-fossil fuel energy and the emerging clean-tech sector.
The immediate consequence of this transition from traditional to low carbon economy is a substantial uplift in the returns on EcoLive's investments.
The long term consequence is sustainable and more ecologically balanced use of the natural resources of our planet and the creation of a new, low carbon world economy.
Between 2003 and 2005, EcoLive developed positions in traditional industries with unrealised environmental potential, e.g. chemical manufacturing and forest harvesting.
From 2005 to 2008, EcoLive has been reorienting these conventional assets to low carbon businesses, e.g. polysilicon photovoltaic production, 1st generation biofuels (pellets, agro-pellets, charcoal) and advanced material development, while the management teams have secured customer bases for their high volume products.
Looking ahead, from 2009 to 2011 EcoLive will develop its capabilities in 2nd generation biofuels, e.g. biomass to liquid (BTL), thinfilm and other non-conventional photovoltaic technologies, and in silicon-based and carbon-based advanced materials, such as silicon carbide and carbon fibres.
