Elysian Fuels was sold as an investment scheme in renewable and sustainable energy project, which included a plant based in Grimsby. It was marketed to clients as part of their SIPP by several adviser and SIPP provider firms, including James Hay and Rowanmoor.
It was reported to have taken £200m in investment, £180m of which came from SIPP investors, with a minimum investment of £50,000.
Unfortunately, because it was a high-risk and unregulated scheme, it was not suitable for some clients, who lost money they could not afford to lose when the investment was eventually reduced to a value £0.
On top of that it also attracted HMRC worries for some clients due to unpaid tax sanctions.
