Green oil - Investing in a clean future

Green Oil Plantations offer investors the chance to participate in the development of a renewable energy project based in Queensland, Australia. Green Oil Plantations have planted over 140 hectares of Millettia trees, which absorb over 7,000 tonnes of Carbon a year, helping to combat climate change.

The trees are harvested twice a year for green oil, which can be used as a source of energy in the same way as conventional fossil fuel. With global demand for energy growing every year and governments setting targets for the use of energy from renewables, this is a market that is set to grow. For a minimum investment of £10,000, Investors can purchase leasehold plots of land, using pension funds via a SIPP (Self Invested Personal Pension).
Project Options - The rental return is paid annually to the landlord (ie the Investor) as illustrated in the two options below:

Investment Return (5 year project)
Year 1  5%
Year 2  10%
Year 3  13%
Year 4  15%
Year 5  17%

Green Oil Plantations make a final payment at the end of the 5 years of the original investment plus 20%, giving a total return on investment of 80% over 5 years.

 

Investment Return (8 year project)

Year 1   4% 
Year 2   8%
Year 3   12%
Year 4 - 8  17%


The total return on investment on the 8 year project is 109% over the full term.

Re-Purchase (guaranteed exit strategy) - Green Oil Plantation pay investors fixed annual payments and purchase the plantation back from the investor after a fixed term.

Investor Protection

The plantations are insured by CGU Insurance. The insurance covers full reinstatements costs and clients’ loss of income, until the plantation is back to full production. The lease on the plantation is registered to the investor at the Australian Land Registry and in the unlikely event that GOP cease to trade, the plantation can be sold to raise cash to return to investors.

In the unlikely event that Green Oil Plantations cease to trade, the independent solicitors Birchall Blackburn will act on behalf of all the investors to appoint a liquidator and sell the entire plot of land as one parcel and return cash to the investors. This avoids the uncomfortable situation of investors being left trying to sell a small piece of land in a foreign country. All of the costs and profits in the business are in Australian Dollars, but investors’ payments will be made in Sterling.



Location

 

Unlike other green oil projects on the market, Green Oil Plantations is located in a developed country with a secure infrastructure and legal system. The Australian government has committed to sourcing 20% of its energy from renewable sources by 2020. As part of this strategy, energy companies are actively looking for ways to work with renewable energy developments, such as Green Oil Plantations. In addition, there is a large and established market for the plantations complimentary side products, organic fertilizer and animal feed. 

Green oil is just one alternative investment class that you can consider once your SIPP is opened.
