Introducing Xebec. The Renewable Gas Company™Decarbonizing our future with renewable gases

TSX-V: XBC

Xebec designs, engineers and manufactures equipment to produce renewable gases such asRNG from waste, providing a revenue source for end users like gas utilities & the public sector.

With proven proprietary technology, Xebec is a facilitator in the rapidly developing Global Energy Transition space.

Mandated targets and global recognition of the economical viability in renewable gases –states and provinces setting targets – increase of ~500x over next decade in Canada alone

Experiencing rapid growth with $9.6M revenue in 2016, $48 - $49M+ revenue in 2019, 2020revenue guidance of $80M - $90M+, backlog of $71M, and $26M of awarded contracts*

Why is RNG Relevant?Climate change is driving the need for clean energy

In Canada, 66% of all electricity is from renewables, 10% offrom wind and solar, 0.02% of natural gas is from RNG

Gas utilities are supporting demand due to the threat ofelectrification of their customer base

At the cusp of explosive growth for RNG - similar to theearly days of wind and solar

TSX-V: XBC

Wind and solar have become prevalent in past 20 years,consumers demand climate action

Targets Create Massive OpportunityGas utilities have been successful in lobbying for mandates

TSX-V: XBC 6

Recent targets and mandates

California, U.S.A – SoCalGas has a renewable gas target of 20% by 2030

Oregon, U.S.A - renewable natural gas target of 15% by 2030 led by NW Natural

Québec, Canada - renewable natural gas target of 5% by 2025 led by Énergir

British Columbia, Canada – FortisBC has leading RNG program, target of 15% renewable gas by 2030

Targets represent need for ~477 million GJ of renewable gas, resulting in 1,400+ projects that create an estimated $6.3B+ market for Xebec’s equipment in North America alone

Canada – aiming for target of 10% by 2030 federally with Clean Fuel Standard, to be finalized mid-2020
