ZeroPoint Company Overview

• ZeroPoint has developed advanced biomass gasification systems for distributed renewable CHP and thermal applications

• Founded in 2006 in affiliation with Clarkson University

• Investment from NY Common Fund

• Manufacturing in Tonawanda, NY (Hebeler Corp.)

• Exporting NY Energy Technology into global markets

• Building new markets for agricultural and forest sectors

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
