Parent company to Hu Honua BioenergyLLC, it is a private equity firm, raising private capital for at least three projects:
- NC12, Inc., a high efficiency natural gas gasification proposed plant. Under development and located in Louisiana. Project cost $3.5 billion.
- Russian firm and C Change form fund to invest in nanotechnology firms, $1 billion.
- Co-developer of a sustainable Korean medical science green city, $200 million project.
