1 Harvesting Low-Hanging Fruit: What Have we done with the ConocoPhillips Energy prize? San Antonio, TX WindtoGreen The Story of WindtoGreen LLC: a Washington Corporation Matt Kern Ammonia Fuel Conference, October 2, 2012

2 Founded in 2008 Jack SwearengenPeter SwearengenMatt Kern WindtoGreen Who We Are

3 + WindtoGreen += Our mission

4 Objective #1 WindtoGreen SSAS as core technology

5 SSAS Solid-State Ammonia Synthesis - NHThree WindtoGreen

6 SSAS Source: Solid State Ammonia Synthesis (SSAS)for Sustainable Fuel and Energy Storage Applications. Joseph D. Beach Physics Department Colorado School of Mines Wind t oGreen H20,.. 02.,..,..... I Catalyst Membran e i Catalys.. 1,,.. NH3 -ti T. N2..

7 Objective #2 WindtoGreen Development for NH 3 applications

8 NH3 Applications Agriculture WindtoGreen

9 NH3 Applications Agriculture Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration

10 WindtoGreen NH3 Applications Agriculture Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration (natural gas) Agricultural Prices, National Agricultural Statistics Service, USDA (ammonia)

11 WindtoGreen NH3 Applications Agriculture Source: U.S. Department of Agriculture

12 NH3 Applications WindtoGreen Agriculture

13 NH3 Applications WindtoGreen Agriculture

14 NH3 Applications Energy Storage WindtoGreen

15 NH3 Applications Energy Storage WindtoGreen

17 NH3 Applications Grid Stabilization Typical Wind WindtoGreen kWkW

18 NH3 Applications Grid Stabilization Typical Wind Stabilized Wind WindtoGreen kWkW

19 NH3 Applications Grid Stabilization Typical Wind Stabilized Wind Use ammonia Generate ammonia WindtoGreen kWkW

20 NH3 Applications Grid Stabilization WindtoGreen

21 NH3 Applications Wind WindtoGreen Wind

22 NH3 Applications Stranded Wind WindtoGreen

23 NH3 Applications WindtoGreen Stranded Wind

24 NH3 Applications WindtoGreen Stranded Wind

25 NH3 Applications WindtoGreen Source: http://nawindpower.com/e107_plugins/content/content.php?content.9776http://nawindpower.com/e107_plugins/content/content.php?content.9776 Curtailed Wind “Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) displaced about 4.3 GWh of wind energy generation for several hours on the morning of April 29, and about 5.8 GWh on the morning of April 30”

26 NH3 Applications Curtailed Wind WindtoGreen

27 NH3 Applications Offshore Wind WindtoGreen Source: NREL

28 NH3 Applications Offshore Wind WindtoGreen Source: NREL

29 Objective #3 WindtoGreen New IP from applications projects

30 IP Flow Battery Grid Stabilization “Anhydrous Ammonia Synthesis with Internal Flow Battery” Single-system power conditioning from any power source WindtoGreen

31 Progress WindtoGreen

32 Progress WindtoGreen Completed Proposals

33 Progress WindtoGreen Completed Proposals

34 “Show us how we will gain a profit in five years” “The price of NG is too low for NH3 to succeed” “Auto companies are afraid of NH3 as a transportation fuel” “The technical risk is still too great” “SSAS requires solutions to problems that have stymied the development of SOFC” “Are the scarce/precious metals going to be available in the quantities required?” “Do you have a recycle/reclamation process for them?” “Grid-scale technologies have too much of a head start” WindtoGreen Feedback

35 Transient renewable power Cheap natural gas Declining interest in green tech Tighter venture capital End of wind credits Missing data for SSAS scale-up Fixation on H 2 and grid storage Fear of NH 3 toxicity WindtoGreen Underlying Issues

36 Progress 1 kg/day SSAS Reactor Design WindtoGreen

37 Progress 1 kg/day SSAS Reactor Design WindtoGreen

38 Progress Four-stage development and commercialization plan Current Funding Scope Phase 0 Single-Tube WindtoGreen Phase 1 Lab-Scale Phase 2 Reactor-Scale Phase 3 Full-Scale Productio n >0g/day NH 3 1 kg/day NH 3 prototype 1 tonne/day NH 3 prototype 1 tonne/day NH 3 Production Model
