2.0 Executive Summary

We all know fuel is getting dearer, and fossil fuels will be nearly a criminal offence to

use in the future, and also our water is becoming more and more precious and we can

not afford to waste this. By reducing our waste water volume and using organic waste

we can produce a cocktail that can be fermented and produce biogas.In this way we can produce our own fuel we just have to change our way of thinking.

This concept could be easily implemented where we have a concentration of people.

- Large Schools with canteens.- Larger Apartment developments.- Large workforces (banks/factories) with canteen- Sport Stadiums with restaurant facilities- Large Hotels with restaurant- Hospitals with kitchen.- Factories producing large volumes of organic waste

o Fish processing factorieso Food processing factorieso Vegetables processing factories

- Agriculture / Farms- Cruise Ships.- Larger Camping Sites.- Holiday Homes Clusters.-

2.1 History

When I started working for Enviro Chemie AG in 1988 in the industrial waste water

sector, the aim was mainly to clean up the waste water eliminating pollutants, so

companies could discharge this treated effluent to sewer or surface water. At that time

there was no real issue in reducing recycling or reusing.

This started later in 1996 when reducing recycling and reusing became more and

more of an issue. More and more process integrated solutions are required. Now

anther 10 years later companies are not only concerned about these 3Rs but are also

concerned about the energy consumption associated with this.

The Goals and Strategy, lies therefore in the market where disposal of organic waste

and energy consumption are the two elements that should be reduced as much as

possible. This will take carful planning by the end-user to look at his total

consumption and waste production to aim for a Good House Keeping conscience or

ISO certification.

5/28


2.2 Low Cost Strategy:

The equipment needed for the process is sourced from one of the best and competitive

manufactures. This will make the whole implementation of the process very cost

effective and a ROI which can be very lucrative between 2 and 3 years.

2.3 Differentiation of the service:

This concept is different from the others as this is a Hybrid concept where the

different elements are integrated and linked to each other.

- Reduction of water.

- Collection of Rainwater

- Reuse of Grey Water

- Low water consumption toilets (Vacuum) resulting in higher concentrations.

- Use of under the sink grinders and munchers are allowed- Organic disposal facility

2.4 Niche Market:

These waste handling and processing facilities are not rally economical for individual

house holds. The aim here is for clusters of houses or even better whole villages.

Concentration of people of more than 1000 - 2000 .

Maybe in a later stage or years to come this will be the standard, where every house

can have his own facility.

2.5 Mission Statement:

A Waste to Energy contribution.

2.6 How will the finance be used?

First of all the cost (various expenses) of making the enterprise known to some of the

end users and interested parties. Marketing Costs.

Second all equipment needs to be pre-financed from the manufacture, before being

paid for by the end-user.

3.0 Markets Opportunity

3.1 Potential Customers:

- Large Schools with canteens.- Larger Apartment developments.- Large workforces (banks/factories) with canteen- Sport Stadiums with restaurant facilities- Large Hotels with restaurant- Hospitals with kitchen.- Factories producing large volumes of organic waste

o Fish processing factorieso Food processing factorieso Vegetables processing factories

- Agriculture / Farms

- Cruise Ships.- Larger Camping Sites.- Holiday Homes Clusters.

3.2 Customer Segments:

- Educational Sector- Industrial Sector- Holiday/ Tourist Sector- Agriculture Sector

3.3 What needs does the idea satisfy?

- First there is a reduction in water usage and subsequently cost.- Government baking by creating a GREENER ECONOMY.- Secondly there is a contribution in eliminating our dependency on fossil fuels.

3.4 How do customers currently satisfy this need?

At the moment the need for water and electricity is supplied by the existing utilitycompanies, through water charges and electricity charges.

3.5 How many customers are in this market?

There are approximately 50-60 companies in Ireland with more than 1000 people.

There are numerous Schools in Ireland with more than 1000 Students and there own

kitchen. Especially boarding schools

7/28


3.6 The projected growth in this market.

The projected growth in this market can only be described as considerable.

Especially new project were innovation and conservation is the key role.

3.7 Why is this approach innovative and compelling?

This approach is innovative since it make use of the creative and progressive water

reduction consumption and at the same time creating well needed energy.

3.8 What are the implication to the customers of buying from us?

The customers will have back up from well established AD technology providers.

3.9 What do we need to do to confirm the size of this market?

The market size is considerable, and at a later stage it might be feasible to have

smaller and compact systems for smaller communities or clusters or maybe even as

small as single houses who knows?

7


8/28


4.0 Industry and Competition.

4.1 Competitors in the market

On the waste water side:- Veolia- EPS- Earthtech- Treatment Systems- Response- And some smaller players in wastewater treatment market.

On the Anaerobic Digester Side:

- Kedco- Cetlic Composting

- Methanogen- HoSt/FLI

4.2 What are the competitors market share and finance?

I am only aware of Kedco being the only one at the moment in the market that is in

the process in building an Anaerobic Digester.

4.3 Their strength and weaknesses?

The weakness of this system is that it will only be economically effective when there

is a large number of people connected to the system. The economy of scale is an

important element at the moment.

The strength of the system is that is flexible and it can be expanded to a X thousand of

connection.

4.4 Who else is working on these solutions?

As far as I know nobody is looking at this market in this way as yet.

4.5 Why is your approach better than our competitors?

My approach is one of those think outside the box idea.

We have to get away from the idea of flushing our toilet with water and certainly

not with GOOD and expensive drinking water.

This is a different approach how to spare water and how we can generate energy from

our waste.

8


9/28


4.6 What is your source of competitor advantage e.g IP?

Our intellectual property is our greatest asset to keep our competitors always a good

few steps behind, so we can take advantage of the being first in the market and take

advantage of this, but at the same time we keep our innovations and creativityongoing.

4.7 The distribution channels:

Distribution channels can be achieved through companies who are in the sanitary

business and bathroom assembly (pod builders) for the vacuum toilets and

Envierho Aqua Protect is responsible for the AD Plant and MBR plant.

4.8 How long can we stay ahead of the competition?

During our implementation of the systems we will be innovating in new elements we

can keep a good few steps ahead from the competition before they have a part of the

market.

4.9 How are competitors likely to respond?

Competitors will mainly keep there activities on waste to energy (AD) as they are not

really tuned in on this matter as it is Market Branch Strange for them.

4.10 How much room is there in this market for competitors?

There is room, slowly in years to come this will be a very important market, thats

why it is important to be there first.

4.11 What barriers will you face or can you create?

Market exclusivity with manufactures and providers of Vacuum Systems and AD

developers is a way in protecting the market.

9


10/28


5.0 Product/Service Proposition

5.1 Why is this the right proposition?

The right proposition is the enormous reduction in water volume usage/consumption.

5.2 How is it different from existing products/ services?

The whole philosophy and outlook is different. Using Air/Vacuum to transport waste

in stead of the easy way using water which than need cleaning and is very energy

demanding..

5.3 Will it become obsolete and how it may change?

This method of transport will be there for a long time.Water usage may have been used for over 150 years or so, but it will have to be

replaced with another transport medium.

5.4 Why is now the right time?

There is no better time than now, while water is becoming expensive with the

introduction of water charges and energy is becoming scarce and even more

expensive.

5.5 Why is it unique and what is the USP?

The unique selling point of this configuration is: it will reduce water bills and produce

electricity from a waste product that normally would be flushed down the drain.

So the knife cuts on both sides.

5.6 Is the business protected to have a virtual monopoly ?

There is certainly a First Creative Advantage, and with more unique elements is can

become a virtual monopoly but there are always going to be copy cats.

5.7 What regulatory and technology proving is needed?

The best way to proof the system is by having a demonstration project

5.8 How will this solution take advantage of existing distribution channels.

There are no real existing distribution channels in place. It will have to be a unique

selling and service facility for a specialist service company.

10


11/28


6.0 Marketing Plan & Route to Market

6.1 How will you win the initial customers, pilot and sales?

An initial project can be a Pilot Scheme for maybe a Hotel that is being renovated or

apartments that are in the planning. Or a Government led project like a boarding

school or college. Other projects will follow after this when they see what benefits it

brings.

6.2 What is the business model e.g. B2C, B2B etc.

The business model is firstly aimed to B2B, as it will be towards developers and

renovation projects initially.

6.3 Which distribution channels will you uses?

I would firstly like to see a service company to provide the technical abilities to

perform the installation of the various components.

6.4 Promotional strategy will be used?

Individual approach to developers, Government and Education.

6.5 What is the approach to distribution and channels?

For the moment one single dedicated specialist will have to take this on board and

approach the end-user/developer.

6.6 What is you pricing and discounts approach?

Pricing is dependable on the size of the project. Each project will have it own pricing

structure.

6.7 How will you structure the sales team and process?

On shows and trade fairs the treatment method will have to be shown and individual

calls will have to be made to developers and large complexes to show the system.

6.8 Which markets could you address first to gain revenue?

The first markets are de Hotels / Department of Education (Boarding Schools),

University Campuses , Sport Complexes i.e Croke Park , developers for larger

clusters of apartments.

6.9 What is the current sales and order book?

The current sales book has no orders yet as this business is only in the starting blocks.

11


12/28


7.0 Management Team and Partners

7.1 Is this the right executive and board team to deliver the venture?

Having been more than 25 year in the wastewater market I am definitely the rightperson to develop this venture.

7.2 Can you show the experience and achievement to deliver the new business?

Having always been responsible for looking for NEW Business, it nearly come

natural to look for new projects.

The experience is certainly there to make it all come together.

7.3 How is the team motivated and working together?

The motivation is that this model has a huge market potential, and Ireland is the right

place to get started as we are all thinking of green jobs, and in this way we can realise

this.

7.4 Does the team have the energy to make this venture happen?

When teaming up with a flexible electrical and mechanical installer this should work

out fine

7.5 Can you outline the skill gaps and how they will be filled?

Sales and Promoter Engineer: initially myself.

The Process Engineer: again myself.

Drawing of Process again myself

Detailed Engineer needs to be appointed

Draughtsman needs to be appointed

Bookkeeping and Invoicing outsourcing for the moment

A team of fitters service and maintenance company

Project Manager needs to be appointed

7.6 Have the stakeholders been indentified?

At the moment there is only one Stakeholder My Self, who wants to take this further

to the next level.

7.7 What capabilities are required from partners?

The partner is driving force in implementing and realising the construction

7.8 Have we indentified the right partners?

We have to approach the right partner as yet, as we have somebody in mind.

12


13/28


8.0 Operations & Legal

8.1 Is this the venture proposition based on a proven technology?

The used technology is not new all the unit operation in this configuration are wellproven just the right scale of the system will have to be found.

8.2 Will the proposed technology work?

As above the technology is not new just the way the systems are being combined

8.3 Is the technology and or process protected by patents?

The process is not been protected by patents.

8.4 Is there a reliable source of materials and critical inputse.g. raw materials and skilled staff.?

The source of raw material should be no problem, it is the willingness to change

thinking and use vacuum as a vehicle for transport.

8.5 Can you effectively produce and deliver the product or service?

With a team of creative designers and suppliers already in the vacuum toilets business

and kitchen grinders manufactures and AD plant builders this should not be a

problem.

8.6 Can we maintain/repair and or support the new business?

There is a team of dedicated mechanical and electrical engineer ready to support and

service and repair if requested.

8.7 Is the business liable to any litigation risks on the use of technology or

operational issues?

Not that I am aware of.

13


14/28


9.0 Key risks & Constraints

9.1 Are the key risks understood?

The key risk could be that there is absolutely no interest from government or

developers as the idea using vacuum is to absurd in there eyes.

But this is only because having water seems so simple, but we have to get away from

that mind ser.

9.2 Has the risk of market adoption been recognised?

It may take some time in certain areas were they are so focused on the Water Closed,

and to change to vacuum systems and where this waste is used for making electricity.

9.3 What is the competitors reactions?

Competitors will want to have a share of the market and will copy cat some of the

system, but we are ahead of them and will have to stay ahead by also having our

research and development and maybe patenting new parts.

9.4 Delay effects of getting regulatory approval?

This element has not been looked at and may need some attention although al parties

in the government are looking towards at a greener and smarter economy so there

should be any regulatory obstructions.

9.5 Are the key markets for this venture acceptable?

The key markets are more than acceptable for this venture as they are the large users

of water and electricity and any reduction and saving will be welcomed and in some

cases might be the deciding factor if there own operation is sustainable or not if these

measures are not taken.

9.6 Are the key technical risks for this venture acceptable?

All unit operations in this system are proven technologies, priority is that everythingis dimensioned properly so it will slot in together smoothly.

9.7 What constraints must be challenged to launch this venture?

The general perception of how we use our water resources and the way we think in

utilising this. There could be a shortage of water at some stage but there will be no

shortage of vacuum.

9.8 Are the risks and constraints reflected in the financial models?

In this plan the financial model is going only as far as Angel money to realise ademonstration project to proof the viability of the configuration of the system.

14


15/28


10.0 Financial Plan

10.1 What is the financial history?

At this moment no financial history is available as there has been no implementation

of any kind of system as yet.

10.2 Have the financial models used a range of assumptions?

The only assumptions that has been taken is that it will need approximately 250K

to get this model on the road.

10.3 Are the revenues significant and are drivers understood?

The revenues could be considerable in years to come when we all see the need for a

psychological adaption of how we flush our toilet.

10.4 What are the one-off and ongoing operation costs?

The one-off cost are many to get a first project on the road.

After this the ongoing cost should be payable from generated revenue.

10.5 What are the one-off and ongoing capex costs?

The one-off cost are going to be in the region of 250K.

Two standardised systems need to be work out and that can be implemented at a

developing stage for Hotel / Apartment blocks / Boarding School etc.

10.6 What are the cash and finance projections?

A full size project is in the region of 0.5M.

This size will need 2Tons of organic material feed stock per day.

This facility would produce approx. 120.000 kWh per year on electricity.

Also a 80.000 kWh on heat from the CHP unit for heating the houses/apartments34.000 ltr of water will be saved at the same time per day this is 12.410.000 l /year.

Also the waste water treatment facility for just the grey-water

(showers/sink/dishwasher/washing machine) will require a LESS demanding energy

treatment, than a conventional waste water treatment plant.

15


16/28


11.0 Funding & Exit

11.1 What is the requirement and approach to funding?

Primarily the funding is to Kick-start this new creative approach

The estimate is it would need in the region of 250K to push this.

11.2 Are the funds being looked for sufficient?

We hope it is enough for the moment.

11.3 Equity investment and loans that are currently utilised?

There is no equity available and or loans.

11.4 Sources and approach to funding rounds over three years?

With some financial backing from a venture capital investor this business model

should be successful and be self sufficient in 3 years time.

11.5 What commitment is being made by management time of funding?

Management will be backing up this business venture with all its has got in terms of

action and drive to make this successful.

11.6 What are the milestones and potential phasing of the release of funds?

The intention is to partner up with an existing company in the installation, service and

maintenance sector, and together actively approach the market.

This will mean 80K 125 K will be needed in the first year for promotion and

marketing.

11.7 What is the potential exit route e.g. trade sale , IPO?

This has not been in the picture yet, first we have to get the show on the road.

Appendices 1

After 100 years of dependence on fossil fuels, there's one emerging crisis that COP-

15's policiesmust now address: the crisis of dwindling crude reserves, and theimminent end to cheap oil.

Everything is being reconsidered:

The way we create electricity

The way we power our vehicles

The way we store and buy our energy

The way we synthesize plastics

The way in which we build the buildings where we work and live

The way we education our children.

And our unique investment has set the stage to capitalize on all of this.

We're talking about...

High-output alternative energy production: Technologies which, in the

decades to come, are destined to replace all conventional, fossil-fuel-based

power generation.

Water treatment: As the collective thirst of the world's people and industry

continues to spike, as supply continues to dwindle, the market for fresh water

has been predicted by many to eclipse oil within three decades.

The End of Oil

There's not much to be said here that hasn't already been said a thousand times before.

So let's quickly review a few key issues...

We now find one barrel of conventional oil for every 4 we consume

New wells drilled over the last few years have nearly doubled, but production

has remained flat.

About 75% of the world's current oil production is from fields that were

discovered prior to 1970, which are past their peaks and beginning theirdeclines. And the remaining 25% comes from fields that are now 10 to 15

years old.

Bottom line: The days of cheap, abundant oil are over. And if you don't believe it, just

look at what the experts are saying...

"Shell estimates that after 2015 supplies of easy-to-access oil and gas will no longer

keep up with demand." - Jeroem van de Veer, CEO of Shell

"Our view is that oil production will peak in the near future. We need to develop

power trains for alternative energy sources." - Katsuaki Watanbe, President, Toyota

17


18/28


"The easy, cheap oil is over. Peak oil is looming." - Shokri Ghanem, Head of Libya's

National Oil Corporation

"In the longer run, unless we take serious steps to prepare for the day that we can

no longer increase production of conventional oil, we are faced with the possibility

of a major economic shock - and the political unrest that would ensue." - Dr. JamesSchlesinger, former U.S. Energy Secretary

"One thing is clear: the era of easy oil is over. What we do next will determine how

well we meet the energy needs of the entire world in this century and beyond." -

David O'Reilly, CEO, Chevron

So where does this leave us?

Without an immediate overhaul of our energy economy, the depletion of fossil fuels

could prove to be a crisis more devastating than most could ever imagine.

The fact is, everything we do depends on some form of energy.

Our entire way of life, and all of our economic projections, are built on the

assumption that there will always be more energy when we want it.

It took us 125 years to use the first trillion barrels of oil. It will take us only 30 years touse the next trillion"(Chevron)

By choosing renewable energy, you go some way towards cutting down on carbon emissionUsing energy more efficiently in your daily life comes easily once you get started.
