Future and its group of companies were established in 1999 and since that time we have raised nearly £5.5 billion through over 100 partnerships and investment vehicles. We have over 40 first class individuals involved in our business and I would encourage you to visit our website at http://www.futurecapitalpartners.com for further information about us.
Whether or not climate change is occurring and whether its cause is increased carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous dioxide or other emissions is, as most of us know, a hotly debated topic amongst scientists and environmentalists. Clearly the consequences for our planet are potentially catastrophic if the answer is that climate change is happening and our pollutants are a principal or substantial cause of this. One thing that is widely believed, however, is that an awful lot of our fossil fuel usage and pollution is caused by the use of transport fuels. Approximately 74% of the UK’s oil supply is used in transportation. If the consequences of not significantly reducing our emissions are potentially catastrophic, it follows that it would be folly not to pursue those goals that can be achieved at modest cost.
Transport fuels are a natural and immediate means by which we can achieve significant emissions reductions. A 5% biofuels blend has been calculated to equate to a reduction in carbon emissions of approximately one million tonnes – the equivalent to removing one million cars from our roads every year. Added to which, biofuels can be blended with diesel or petrol at mixes of up to about 24% before any alteration is required to engine design. Biofuels appear likely to be less expensive at the pump than oil based petrol or diesel in the foreseeable future and should lead to a reduced reliance on oil imports (a nations’ single greatest import expense).
It is a common perception that all biofuels strategies are not significantly more “green” than using fossil fuels for transport fuels and/or that the diversion of land and food crops to biofuels usage is equally, if not more, damaging than living with the polluting effect of conventional transport fuels. This is not true of all biofuels strategies, as we explain elsewhere in this Proposal and as reported recently by The Royal Society.
We have identified this opportunity as one which we see as having a deliberately designed carbon footprint that is better by 107% in comparison to fossil fuels, with a sustainable feedstock strategy (wheat) and being part of an early stage industry movement, and which we believe is capable of rapidly delivering attractive returns. In addition, UK tax resident individual investors should derive a degree of down side protection through the expected availability of Capital Allowances in the Project and their ability to benefit from these reliefs against their other income.
Future has already invested £1m in the Bridge Financing and expects to invest at least £1m in this Offer .
We trust you will find this opportunity equally important and we look forward to being catalysts for change together.
