What do you like about $ORCC ? Can share any write up or anything about ? I think I heard a podcast about them some times last year (if I’m not mistaking for another Owl Capital )

Wood pellet power unsustainable and bad for the environment. Their claims about sustainability and being good for climate change are bogus.
Blue Orca published a short report on them in October


Obviously always take these with a grain of salt as they are short the stock and management of Enviva refutes the claim. There’s also a SA article saying the report is misleading.
Bottom line: I don’t see how cutting down trees and burning them for fuel is a good business model or good for the environment.
Just my two cents.

If you are interested in the wood pellet business, you should take a look at Drax. One of the largest pellet maker int he world from the waste of the forestry industry in the US, which are then shipped to the UK and burnt in their power plant here. It is the largest single source of renewable energy in the UK.
