Invest in Deenam
Liberia holds one of the largest untapped rubberwood resources in the world — millions of aging trees that have stopped producing latex and now sit as a cost, not an asset, for smallholder farmers. Deenam turns that liability into a high-quality, export-grade biomass feedstock, while replanting farmers' land with faster-maturing, higher-yield trees.
We're building the infrastructure to convert an overlooked agricultural byproduct into one of the cleanest, most consistent renewable fuel sources supplying Europe's power markets — and we're inviting investors and partners who want to be part of a project that is simultaneously profitable, climate-positive, and nation-building.
The Scale of the Opportunity
Liberia has an estimated 350,000+ hectares of drained, non-producing rubberwood trees across the country — a resource base with no current commercial outlet and no competing use. This is not a pilot-scale feedstock story; it's a multi-decade, multi-million-ton supply opportunity that Deenam is positioned to access first, at scale, through direct relationships with smallholder farmers.
How Deenam Creates Value
Deenam's model creates value on both ends of the chain — for the farmer and for the global energy buyer:
Deenam pays farmers for rubber trees that have stopped producing latex and are worthless to them as-is.
Deenam clears the land, roots and all, and replants with certified, higher-yield hybrid seedlings that reach maturity in as little as 5 years.
The farmer gets a revitalized, more productive asset and a new income stream, at no cost to them.
Deenam gets consistent, high-quality feedstock, which is chipped and prepared for export.
The feedstock is sold into global biomass energy markets, primarily as a coal-replacement fuel for power generation.
Market Demand & Offtake
Europe's power and heat sector remains one of the largest buyers of woody biomass, driven by coal-to-biomass conversion mandates and renewable energy targets across the UK and EU. Buyers in this market are typically utility-scale power generators and biomass traders operating under long-term supply contracts, and they prioritize suppliers who can guarantee consistent volume, quality, and chain-of-custody documentation — all of which Deenam's model is built around.
Certifications & Compliance
Institutional biomass buyers and investors expect suppliers to meet recognized sustainability and legality standards before they'll transact. Deenam is pursuing certification and compliance alignment across:
EUTR (EU Timber Regulation) — legality of harvest and chain of custody
FSC / PEFC — sustainable forest management standards
SBP (Sustainable Biomass Program) — biomass-specific sustainability certification
ISCC — international sustainability and carbon certification
Leadership With a Track Record
Deenam is led by the only team to have successfully built and operated a rubberwood biomass operation in Liberia at scale.
Martin Greenwood, President of Operations, was one of the original founders of Buchanan Renewable Energy — where he built, operated, and sold a rubberwood chipping operation in Liberia. His operational experience spans forestry and construction equipment management across West, Central, and Southern Africa, Northern Russia, and East Siberia, with senior operating roles including COO of Bexin Group, IPA Forestry Angola, AS Group SL, and Russo Forest.
Deenam's board and management team combine that hands-on operating history with deep African finance, infrastructure, and public affairs experience — including Alex Cummings (former EVP/CAO, The Coca-Cola Company) as Board Chair and Steve Cashin (Founder & CEO, Pan African Capital Group) as Board Vice Chair.
Partner With Us
Beyond capital, Deenam is also seeking partners who can help us scale operations, including:
Equipment manufacturers and suppliers (chippers, forestry and port-handling equipment)
U.S. and European engineering firms with African infrastructure experience
Logistics and shipping partners with West Africa expertise
If your organization brings equipment, engineering capability, or operational expertise to a project like this, we want to hear from you.
