Per Figure SPM-2. Anthropogenic methane contributed 0.5 deg. C of global warming vs. 0.8 deg. C from all anthropogenic CO2, comparing 2010-2019 to 1850-1900.

Reducing methane is the most effective means of decarbonizing the atmosphere in the short term

Methane Reduction from Landfills

Methane Global Warming Potential

ü 20 years – 61x CO2e

ü 100 years – 25 x CO2e

ü Landfills contributed 17.4% of U.S. and 20% of Canadian anthropogenic methane emissions across all sectors in 2021

ü Life of methane in atmosphere is far shorter than CO2. Reducing methane from landfills is one of quickest means of reducing GHG in atmosphere

Global Hydrogen Production

Reforming Coal Gasification Electrolysis

OMNI GPRSTM

• Negative CO2e due to avoidance of methane

• ~ 1/6 of the electricity usage of electrolysis

• Paid to take waste, so cost of H2 ~ $3.50 USD, less the

value generated by carbon

• Carbon capture is simple, sequestration possible

• Full diversion of waste from landfills.

• Integrated, modular

• Can be used in conjunction with electrolysis

• No air emissions during conversion of waste to syngas; only emissions are from end users of the syngas

• 100% diversion from landfill

• Never failed a source test

• Dioxins and Furans below level of quantification

• OmniRockTM is a nonleachable End of Waste Product

• Very low carbon intensity – can even be negative due to diversion from landfill CH4.

OMNI CT GPRSTM Pristine Environmental Performance

OMNI CT GPRSTM – Flexible and Efficient

• Feedstock flexibility• Minimum capex and opex for feed preparation

• Select difficult feedstocks for higher tipping fees

• Recovered hot air can be used to dry wet feedstock for higher throughput and efficiency

• Less dependence on very long term supply contracts

• Wide range of applications• OmniSyngasTM can make heat, power, fuels, hydrogen, chemicals with no

fundamental changes to the proven core technology.

• OmniRockTM can be used in slag cement, as a construction aggregate, or as an abrasive blasting medium.

• Over 75% LHV cold gas efficiency

• Low parasitic power usage. (Example: electrical power consumption to make hydrogen is 1/6 that of electrolysis)

• Oxygen can come from VPSA, cryogenic, or electrolysis.

• Benefits of paring with electrolysis:

– Electrolysis O2 has no argon, so high purity is easy to achieve. GPRSTM

does not require dry or compressed O2.

– Heat from GPRSTM improves the efficiency of electrolysis.

– Electrolysis can be used for peaking, while GPRSTM is a baseload.

– Electrolysis H2 can adjust H2:CO ratio readily for making liquid fuels as an

alternative or supplement to the WGS.

KP ENGINEERING TO COLLABORATE WITH OMNI CONVERSION TECHNOLOGIES INC.ON GREEN HYDROGEN INITIATIVES

HOUSTON (Oct. 11, 2021) – KP Engineering, LP (KPE), a leader in the design and execution of customized EPC solutions for the refining, syngas, hydrogen, and renewable fuels industries, has entered into a mutual collaboration agreement with OMNI Conversion Technologies Inc. (OMNI). OMNI is a Canadian company focused on producing clean green energy by converting energetic waste into OmniSyngasTM and OmniRockTM, with full diversion from landfill. The collaboration will enable the companies to supply equipment and technology to produce hydrogen from waste with a negative carbon footprint at less than half the cost of electrolysis.

A result of the long-standing mutually beneficial working relationship between KPE and OMNI, the new agreement formalizes the collaboration and provides a one-stop experience for potential customers. KPE and OMNI will co-market OMNI's patented technology. They will exclusively collaborate with each other to provide an integrated modular solution for converting a widevariety of minimally prepared wastes to hydrogen, while capturing CO2 for subsequent use or sequestration. Biomass-fed projects will fall outside of the scope of the agreement.
