Knight Investments LLC begin structuring of Quarter Million USD private loan for environment benefit

Online, October 5, 2009 (Newswire.com) - Knight Investments LLC Officials met to discuss and answer the request to structure a 250,000 USD Loan between a private investor and a private equity firm looking to contribute loan towards first, second, and third generation renewable energy projects.

First-generation technologies emerged from the industrial revolution at the end of the 19th century and include hydropower, biomass combustion, and geothermal power and heat. Some of these technologies are still in widespread use. In particular Knight Investments LLC reviewed the Private Equity Firm's strategy to target these resources specifically.

"First generation technologies are the ones that are most broadly recognized to work. They have been around for quite some time, and are easily showcased to investment banks, major banks, and private investors. We wanted to make sure before structuring the transaction that the feasibility of these funds would be appropriated correctly." said Montelly Lopez Jr, Chief Financial Officer of Knight Investments LLC.

Second-generation technologies include solar heating and cooling, wind power, modern forms of bioenergy, and solar photovoltaics. These are now entering markets as a result of research, development and demonstration (RD&D) investments since the 1980s. The initial investment was prompted by energy security concerns linked to the oil crises of the 1970s but the continuing appeal of these renewables is due, at least in part, to environmental benefits. Many of the technologies reflect significant advancements in materials.

Officials from Knight Investments LLC stated that these were also a good source, and had been proven in limited scopes. The main obstacle with these technologies KI Officials stated were the lack of large scale projects, but as quoted by one of Knight's Underwriters ,

"Just because 2nd Generation technologies are not powering entire cities like New York, doesn't mean they are not capable of doing so. It just means that someone has yet to do it."

Third-generation technologies are still under development and include advanced biomass gasification, biorefinery technologies, concentrating solar thermal power, hot dry rock geothermal energy, and ocean energy. Advances in nanotechnology may also play a major role. KI Officials stated that these technologies would be the hardest go get off the ground but said in light of the new Obama administration there are sure to be opportunities.

The main objectives stated by Knight Investments President Jayson Lopez was " We have to ensure that advise is rendered on exactly how far 250,000 USD can go. While the average person may think anything over one hundred thousand is a lot of money, in this arena it's really not."
