Opala Energy I, LLC announces strategic investment in BioEnergy Development Inc. (OTC: CNER) — Montana activated carbon facility · 3,000 dry tons/year · ID1000 & ID1200 ·
The Mandate
A federal rule.A supply gap.A domestic answer.
One hundred million Americans drink water that now requires treatment for PFAS contamination. The EPA has identified granular activated carbon as the Best Available Technology for compliance — the first legally enforceable federal PFAS drinking water rule in U.S. history. Compliance deadline: 2029.
Over 40% of U.S. activated carbon supply is imported. Domestic production capacity is a fraction of what the mandate requires.
The raw material already exists. Wood waste, walnut shells, almond hulls, pine mill residuals — biomass sitting unused at the source with the exact chemical profile for conversion into specification-grade activated carbon.
Opala Energy was built to close that gap.

The Resource
Hundreds of millions of tons of biomass waste sit unused across North America every year. This is the feedstock.
What We Do
Infrastructure at the source of waste.
Opala Energy finances, acquires, and owns modular activated carbon production assets deployed directly at the source of biomass. Each facility is operated by best-in-class partners under long-term agreements, producing premium grade AC from 100% domestic feedstock.
We are not an ESG fund. We don't sell offsets. We build systems that produce what mandated markets are required to buy.

The Investment Case
Contracted revenue.
Mandated demand.
Every asset Opala finances enters operation with contracted revenue — product offtake, power purchase agreements, and a stacked federal tax profile. The upside is real. The floor is structural.
