System Attributes : 

Attributes of the AWS system Proven technology Economically efficient solution Patented apparatus and process Facilitates industry compliance with new legislation on animal waste Scalable, closed-loop, skid-mounted systems Reduces carbon footprint; GHG reductions > 75% SCAQMD permits – a first for animal waste gasification Tested NCSU EST, CA dairy farms: USDA and CEC grants System Attributes 3

Animal Waste Industry : 

4 Animal Waste Industry Environmental Protection Agency has taken action Declared animal waste the primary cause of water pollution Instituted the “Final Rule”: Requires 19,000 large animal producers (and others) to improve waste management practices and reduce pollution State and local entities instituting more restrictive laws regarding air and water pollution 250,000U.S. animal farms 160,000,000animals 2,000,000,000,000pounds of animal wasteannually

Animal Waste Market Opportunity : 

U.S.Market Size $24 billion estimated installation revenue opportunity $18 billion estimated annual management opportunity 5 Animal Waste Market Opportunity International market is estimated to be 12x that of the U.S.

Existing Waste Management Methods : 

Current animal waste treatment methods are problematic Lagoons/Irrigation: non-compliant with Final Rule Digesters: low adoption rates, inefficient solutions Others: unproven economics and abatement 6 Existing Waste Management Methods Minimal economic efficiencies Note: “” denotes the waste treatment method satisfies the criteria and “+” denotes superior performance in the category

AWS System Technical Overview : 

Applicable to animal waste from any species, as well as biomass Utilized “on farm” and/or in centralized locations Three modules: Solids Recovery Module (“SRM”) Gas Production Module (“GPM”) Energy Production Module (“EPM”)or Liquid Fuel Module (“LFM”) 7 AWS System Technical Overview Energy Production Module

Projects for Immediate Development : 

8 Projects for Immediate Development Additional Prospective Projects Identified Domestic: California, Florida, Idaho, Iowa, New Mexico, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, Wisconsin, and others International: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, China, Korea, Russia, Taiwan, and others 1 Development costs include $2 million to $3 million of bond securitizations

Three Revenue Streams for AWS : 

Project Development Fees One-time percentage of capitalized costs to develop each project AWS earns fee for management of the JV formation, commissioning, and construction phases Project Management Fees Recurring percentage of net revenues from the projects Compensation for AWS’s management and oversight of ongoing operations Project Distributions Recurring percentage of JV net cash flows Commensurate with ownership stake in JV Distributions to AWS begin after majority JV partner recoups investment 9 Three Revenue Streams for AWS Recurring Project Management Revenue (Revenue Stream 2) Biodiesel Distributor / Utility 1 Note: percentage ownership figures will depend on each project
