2 http://www.bluebird-electric.net The World's Rivers are littered with plastic and other waste from developed and developing nations in proportion to treatment or lack thereof. The main reason that Governments are unable to clean their patch is to do with cost of operations. RIVER FACTS: Yet, rivers are the lifeblood of centered communities. They feed the seven seas, naturally cleaning the land. Cleaner rivers = cleaner oceans and ‘ Blue Growth ’ sustainability for healthier fish and a Circular Economy.

3 http://www.bluebird-electric.net INTRODUCING THE RIVERVAX The RiverVax ™ from Bluebird Marine Systems (BMS) is a versatile solar and wind powered platform that may be deployed in navigable waterways. This state of the art vessel is designed to operate cost effectively, without using the fossil fuels that contribute to global warming from NOx emissions – eliminating dirty (sooty) diesel fuels from the equation.

4 http://www.bluebird-electric.net Copyright © Bluebird Marine Systems Ltd STATE OF PLAY The human race cannot afford the manpower or expensive fossil fuels needed to operate traditional machinery, to rid our rivers of the waste we create, without warming the climate significantly. Workboats such as that seen above rely on diesel engines to recover waste – meaning that we are paying again in NOx emissions (smog) to clean up the mess we have made. Traditional designs cannot recover macro or micro particles.

5 http://www.bluebird-electric.net PROPOSED TARGET SPECIFICATIONS 150 tons capacity before discharge to a land location by docking. Climate neutral - Solar and Wind powered to eliminate NOx and carbon monoxide emissions for sustainability. Cost effective in the long term - with a 5 year break even point for plastic recyclers. Width = 17 metres x Length = 45 metres (55 x 147.5ft) including drone landing pad. Height from river to deck = 4.3 metres (14ft). Turbine width = 20.4 metre (66ft) from turbine (port) tip to (starboard) tip. Variable turbine height with fold down to get under bridges. Featuring a giant 13.5 meter (44ft) collection head and multiple treatment stages.

6 http://www.bluebird-electric.net RiverVax is an entirely new concept designed to deal with soups and solids. The hull is made of a tough alloy, resistant to everyday bumps. Solar panels track the sun for free energy. Wind turbines track the wind for more free energy. Around 84kW may be harvested in ideal conditions using these systems. Enough energy on average to do some real work. RIVERVAX ™

7 LOCAL PARTNERSHIPS The aim is to be able to produce RiverVax ™ boats in partnership with the appropriate geographical administration - creating jobs locally. The RiverVax ™ design is currently the world's largest waterborne vacuum cleaner. The time to produce the prototype is estimated to be around 12-18 months from receipt of a confirmed contract order. While the cost of development models might be higher, mass production should slash operational costs, bringing down the cost of individual vessels to meet with our original target price of £ 3-5 million pounds per unit. Once we have achieved that, cleanup operations become more attractive in terms of healthier food stocks for the world population. The objective is to reduce the break even point in terms of operational investment so that RiverVax ™ boats are more attractive to waste contractors. The price of production will vary from region to region after consideration of factory overheads and labour costs - and in respect of the source of raw materials and component suppliers - favouring developing nations. http://www.bluebird-electric.net Copyright © Bluebird Marine Systems Ltd
