What We Trade

Energy, metals, agriculture and energy crops

Our book blends high velocity liquid arbitrage with structurally constrained hard assets, so margin holds across the cycle rather than tracking a single curve.

The corridors

Energy and Transition

Crude, Gas and Battery Metals

Crude oil, natural gas in pipeline and LNG form, and battery grade lithium. The cargo that keeps industry running and the inputs the energy transition is built on.

  • Crude and refined products
  • Natural gas, pipeline and LNG
  • Battery grade lithium
Strategic and Industrial Metals

The Backbone of Manufacturing

Gold and silver as sovereign and institutional store of value, alongside the copper and titanium that advanced manufacturing and aerospace depend on.

  • Gold and silver
  • Copper
  • Titanium, aerospace and industrial grades
Agriculture and Softs

High Barrier Agricultural Corridors

Bulk sugar, refined grains and specialized protein trade. Corridors protected by cold chain and veterinary certification that generalist desks are not set up to clear.

  • Bulk sugar and refined grains
  • Industrial timber
  • Specialized protein arbitrage
Energy Crops

Low Carbon Feedstocks

Purpose grown biomass converted to bio oil and delivered into refinery co processing, giving refiners a low carbon intensity feed without a greenfield biorefinery.

  • Dedicated biomass and miscanthus
  • Short rotation woody crops
  • Bio oil for refinery co processing

Energy crops are the proprietary position

Refiners face a structural shortage of compliant low carbon feed. Purpose grown biomass converted locally into bio oil and blended into existing refinery units reaches that market without the cost of a dedicated biorefinery.

How the energy crop trade works

Conversion happens close to the field, which takes the cost out of moving raw biomass and delivers a feed the refinery can already process. We develop this corridor alongside Agernomics Biotech, a non food energy grass and bio oil company co founded by our managing partner.

Upstream

Cultivation and Aggregation

Exclusive aggregation rights over high yielding non food energy crops, sited for yield per hectare and for proximity to conversion.

Conversion

Decentralized Pyrolysis

Modular fast pyrolysis units turn raw biomass into energy dense bio oil near the point of harvest, alongside bio char and syngas co products.

Delivery

Refinery Co Processing

Bio oil is delivered into conventional refineries and co processed with fossil crude in existing distillation and hydrotreating units.

Certification

Mass Balance and Compliance

Provenance, carbon intensity and mass balance accounting are tracked end to end for ICAO, CORSIA, EU RED and EPA reporting.
