© Clearfleau Process - Liquid residues + solids Market - Current projects include: Milk & Dairy Products Confectionery & Food Distillers & Brewers Biofuels, Fats & Oils On-site AD - Commercial Benefits On-site energy supply Biogas from COD removal Possible grey water re-use Revenue and cost reduction Wider environmental benefits CLEARFLEAU OVERVIEW

© Clearfleau UK AD Market - 3 Core Sectors: Municipal:landfill diverted materials diverse feedstocks Farm: slurry and crop residues lower cost technology Industrial: bio-degradable materials on-site heat & power Scottish Food & Drink sector : Ban on landfill disposal Escalating energy costs Treatment capacity limits Effluent discharge consents Revenue generation potential EVOLVING MARKETPLACE

© Clearfleau On-site Energy Generation Combat escalating energy costs Reduce electricity purchase Also significant heat output Water Recycling & Re-use Integral digestate treatment Diageo site - river discharge Next: on-site use of grey water Carbon Emissions Reduction Replace aerobic treatment Remove off site transport Reduce fossil fuel energy Recycle nutrients to land Other Technology Options Composting - energy loss & cost Aerobic - ROI & carbon footprint Centralised AD - exporting value UASB AD - very low solids (brewers)

© Clearfleau Key Commercial Drivers Landfill Ban from 2014 - but also Carbon and energy costs Environmental impact of waste Customer expectations Outdated technologies Incentives - FIT FIT - but degression from 2014 15.16p/kWh - <250kW 14.02p/kWh - 250kW to 500kW 9.24p/kWh - >500kW Incentives - RHI Phase 1 - Bio-methane + 200kW heat Phase 2 - larger CHP from April 2014 7.5p/kWht - gas to grid / < 200kW 5.9p/kWht - (2014) 200 - 500kW 2.2p/kWht - (2014) > 500kW.

© Clearfleau On-site cost reduction Discharge fees Energy savings Operation costs Government support Renewables incentives Grants (feasibility only) Carbon reduction (tax?) Attractive return on investment from incentives & savings. BUT - Development of British AD sector now at risk due to Government plans for degression of under 500kW FITs. Financial Benefits for On-site AD

© Clearfleau Small-scale Solutions Support from WRAP: Brewery Co-products Containerised AD unit Membrane thickening Plug and play solution Biogas to on-site boiler Diverse Opportunities Micro-breweries Speciality Cheese Ice cream & desserts Pharmaceutical Food ingredients
15
© Clearfleau Industrial digestion systems need to handle liquid and solid residues, plus by-products, including those containing fats and sugars. On-site AD should combines treatment efficiency with significant cost reduction and carbon savings. DairyDistilleriesBio-fuels Opportunities for on-site plants in these sectors: Food and Drink
