Technology – ZeroPoint Gasification
• Enhanced Downdraft Gasification Design (optimized upgrade of known/reliable
technology/processes)
• In-situ tar cracking (cleaner gas)
• Up to 85% Conversion of Biomass BTU Syngas
• Valuable Biochar and Ash as Byproduct
• Operates at Atmospheric Pressure (safer, easier, lower cost valves)
• Compact and Configurable Footprint
• Highly Monitored and Controlled
• Clear Path to Product Field Readiness (months vs. years)

ZeroPoint’s Distributed Model
ZeroPoint Distributed Energy project capacities:– CHP 2 – 10 MW– Renewable Gas 18-90 Mmbtu/hr
ZeroPoint Distributed Energy projects will be deployed:– At the source of feedstock– At the source of load/commodity requirements– Both– To minimize or eliminate feedstock/fuel transport or
electric transmission requirements
Features:– Zero-emission, carbon-neutral process qualifies for
renewable attribute value (CERs, RPS, etc)– Minimal siting issues compared to large scale generation

Joint Venture Business Model
• ZeroPoint has established four international Joint Ventures to date:• United Kingdom• Northern Europe• India• Malaysia
• Joint Venture guarantees sales pipeline in exchange for geographic exclusivity
• ZP deploys technology through Joint Ventures for substantial margin
• ZP also holds minority equity stake in Joint Venture for recurring project revenue streams
• All JVs are qualified counterparties, capable of handling and financing all project development efforts

Advantages of Biomass Energy
• Biomass energy displaces high carbon fossil fuels
• Biomass energy reduces dependence on imported energy
• Biomass energy provides base load energy, other renewable resources are intermittent
• Biomass energy builds new markets for agricultural resources and waste streams
• Biomass energy creates local jobs
ZeroPoint Advantages
• Higher conversion efficiency translates into improved project economics
• System scale is suited to reality of biomass supplies
• Skid mounted configuration mitigates project site selection risk
• Small footprint design reduces siting issues
• Downdraft gasification captures carbon in biochar rather than releasing into atmosphere
