A development process built for the realities of climate-scale deployment.

Synchronizing the critical workstreams of complex infrastructure development.

Technical diligence, siting, financial modeling, permitting, community engagement, commercial contracting—each moves at a different speed, each depends on the others, and none succeed without structure.

Our process brings all of it together.

Our structured path from concept to financial close.

We drive the development pathway and align the specialists, decisions, and milestones required to reach financial close.

1

FEL-1
Concept

Define the project’s foundation: early feasibility, initial design logic, and the core assumptions that shape the path ahead.

FEL-2
Prefeasibility

Evaluate options, screen sites, map regulatory pathways, advance design to Pre-FEED level, and establish early commercial and financial signals.

FEL-3
Feasibility

Turn the concept into a financeable, technically sound project with detailed studies, FEED work, and aligned commercial negotiations.

Permitting &
Contracting

Advance approvals, finalize major contracts, and prepare the project for procurement 
and construction.

4
5

Financial Close

Secure capital, complete agreements, and get the project ready for first drawdown and 
construction kick-off.

One process. Four disciplines. 
Zero silos.

Where engineers focus only on technical work, financial advisors on models, and lawyers on contracting, we integrate every discipline required to get a project funded and ready to build.

Technical

From concept design to feasibility, we manage technical progress and the inputs required for permitting, procurement, and financing.

Technical

Commercial

Offtake, feedstock, land agreements, EPC/O&M strategy. Structured, negotiated, and aligned with 
project economics.

Commercial

Maximizing Capital Efficiencies

Investor-grade models, capital structuring, diligence preparation, and clear documentation lenders expect.

Financial

Social & Stakeholder

Community engagement, regulatory strategy, and partner alignment across local, regional, and 
institutional actors.

The FGS team has become an invaluable extension of our team as we move our first commercial project forward. Their ability to navigate the technical, commercial, and financial dimensions of development has given us the confidence and structure needed to scale.

Few partners operate with the same level of precision, ownership, and drive. The FGS team understands the full project development lifecycle and helps us de-risk everything from feedstock to offtake to financing. They’re hands-on, pragmatic, and deeply experienced in what it takes to get projects built.

Dane McSpedon, CEO
