INTERNAL REVIEW AND COMMENTS
The Market: Dominated By Coal1. Coal: A critical global energy source ~ $400 billion/yr
2. Emissions major issue: sulfur, nitrous oxides, tar3. Major source of GHG emissions / air pollution / climate change
4
Evolution of Biomass Technology Wood pellets:
Generation 1 Dry and press into pellets
Torrification (char / bio-coal): Generation 2 Heat fiber in absence of oxygen to drive off water and volatile
components leaving only charcoal and tars.
PCS Biofuels™ & PCS Biofuels – Hybrid™: Generation 3 Water based high temperature, high pressure process a chemical reaction converts cellulose to a new class of biofuel

• Chemical reaction using proprietary reagent(s) in high temperature and pressure ‘bioreactors’
• Process similar to pulp and paper ‘digesters’
• Feedstock = any carbohydrate
• PCS Biofuels™ are solid, high energy density, clean biofuels
Total Heat Content
PCS Biofuel 13,100 BTU/lb 30.5 MJ/Kg 7,300 cal/gm
PCS Biofuels - HybridAdditives: Coal Fines

Diverse, Global Feedstock SourcesWood & Wood Waste√ Lumber, chips, sawdust, bark√ Leaves, branches & yard waste√ Brush, trees including diseased
Agricultural Waste√ Manure√ Straw, hay√ Water hyacinth, bamboo, √ Rice husks
Municipal / Organic Waste Food Fast food waste Coffee cups Paper Newsprint Cardboard Some construction / demolition
Other Potential√ Peat moss√ Diseased animals
Hybrid Fuels√ PCS Biofuel™ + coal fine additive

Plant FlexibilityA. Feedstock diversity:
Wood, wood waste, animal manure, MSW….
B. Scalable: 80 - 2,000 tonnes per day, or moreC. Additional value generators
Co-exist with other operations Wood to lumber; sawdust, bark, limbs etc to biofuel Cogen Heat
Carbon credits Coal fines additive
12
Plant EconomicsCapital cost: $60K – $100Kper tonne of capacity / day - CanadaFeedstock: Negative to majorOperating: $40 – $60 per tonne - CanadaBiofuel: $150 – $200 net of transportPayback: 2 – 4 yearsIRR: 20 – 50%+ (before carbon credit & other value add
possibilities)Other: Power cogeneration, community heat
13
Strategic Considerations Sustainable and profitable business
Renewable feedstock, Growing demand, Converting waste into high value biofuel, Waste disposal: Convert Municipal Solid Waste
(MSW), animal manure and human waste into biofuel.
