(Orizon). Through an investment of R$640 million (approximately $115 million USD), eB Capital anchored Orizon's follow-on offering, which was completed earlier this month. Lupine Crest contributed toward eB Capital's investment. eB Capital's investment in Orizon aims to support the company's growth journey through strategic projects, including the advancement of biomethane initiatives and the sector's consolidation. Orizon, which registered the first carbon credit generation project approved through the United Nations Development Mechanism (CDM), is present in 12 Brazilian states, with 17 Ecoparks valuing the waste of more than 40 million Brazilians. "Orizon has revolutionized the ability to not only process waste, but to profitably create renewable raw materials that serve a substitute for fossil fuels. eB Capital's investment in Orizon is a critical step that will propel this innovative business forward, and I applaud Eduardo Melzer for making this smart, strategic move," said Jean-Pierre Conte, founder and chief executive officer of Lupine Crest Capital. Through its innovative waste recovery process, Orizon captures and transfers waste into raw materials and renewable energy. Across its 17 Ecoparks throughout Brazil, Orizon processes waste provided by close to 30 million Brazilians. The company has the capacity to generate 800,000 MWH/year, which is the equivalent energy demand of a city of one million people. Further, Orizon's seventeen Ecoparks have the ability to create four million TCO2 EQ/year of carbon credits which is equal to 27 million trees planted or 1.6 million vehicles taken off the streets annually.
