Overview Biomass Pre-treatment Technology January 12, 2010 Biomass Pre-treatment Technology GreenCoalTM torrefied biomass “The ultimate solution enabling the full utilization of all types of biomass”

Biomass is a difficult energy source Production – Harvesting & Collection – Handling – Transportation – Storage – Pre-treatment – Feeding – Conversion Every aspect is expensive! Torrefaction dramatically reduces these costs! 11/14/2018 Property of Terra Green Energy, LLC

Terra Green Energy, LLC is a torrefaction technology licensing company Terra Green Industries, LLC will build, own, and operate the commercial sized torrefaction demonstration facility 11/14/2018 Property of Terra Green Energy, LLC 3

Torrefaction is a mild pyrolysis (roasting) process carried out in in the absence of oxygen which renders the biomass, including feedstocks such as forestry residues, waste wood and switchgrass, dry, energy dense, easily grind-able, hydrophobic, and cleaner burning. 11/14/2018 11/14/2018 Property of Terra Green Energy, LLC Property of Terra Green Energy, LLC 4

Significant Events $1M Grant from the Pennsylvania Energy Development Agency $130,000 Loan from the Ben Franklin Technology Partnership Letter from FirstEnergy Option on Wyssmont Turbodryer

Torrefaction Process Steps Receiving Sizing Pre-drying Torrefaction Milling & Storage Densification & Storage 11/14/2018 Property of Terra Green Energy, LLC

Advantages of Torrefaction Renewable, sustainable, carbon neutral Cleaner burning Lower ash content than coal Co-fire with coal without CAPEX Resists water uptake Allows coal burning facilities to meet RPS requirements lower NOx & SOx which are primary targets of EPA 1% vs. 15% in coal No need for special storage, handling or pulverizing equipment, use existing assets Untreated biomass turns to mush with moisture 11/14/2018 Property of Terra Green Energy, LLC 8

Advantages of Torrefaction Lower operating costs Higher heat content Higher Bulk Density Auto thermal operation Wider range of potential feedstocks As much as 30% lower than wood pelletization 10,ooo Btu/lb. vs. 7,800 for wood pellets Avoid de-rating boiler system capacity 800 kg/m3 vs. 650 kg/m3 Little if any supplemental fuel required Forestry residue, switchgrass, other grown-on-purpose crops 11/14/2018 Property of Terra Green Energy, LLC 9
