Waste in Santiago
• Over 6,000 tonnes of
waste is generated
daily in Santiago
• < 15% is recycled
• Landfill capacity is
expected to be met
within 10 to 20 years.
PlascoEnergy is…
• A technology-driven company that utilizes an advanced zero-
emissions process to convert waste into a clean synthetic gas
and other valuable products.
• Our unique technology brings:
– Tangible solutions to responsible waste management
– Waste reduction and diversion
– Environmental protection
– Yields valuable products
– Syngas is used to create ultra clean energy
What Becomes of 1 tonne of waste?
Ottawa Facility: Commercial Module
Ground breaking: Sept 2006
Construction: 9 months
Power sales*: 13 months
MSW receipt: 16 months
Power from MSW:
17 months* from surrogate waste
Environmental Performance- The Reality
• LAND
– No contamination of land
• WATER
– No contamination of aquifer
– No leachate
• Air
– Emissions are meeting and we are improving upon the regulated limits

The Plasco Advantage
• Maximum value recovery from residual MSW
• >99.8% diversion from landfill or incineration
• Reduction of net CO2e emissions compared to landfill
• Best environmental performance as compared to landfill, incineration, or composting
• Small footprint and attractive design acceptable to communities where waste is generated and power is needed
• Reduced trucking minimizes traffic congestion while reducing costs and GHG emissions
• Clean power production within the local distribution grid reduces transmission line losses, improves security of supply and reduces load on grid
