2 © 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

3 © 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

4 © 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)

6 © 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Landfill Ban from 2014 - but also  Carbon and energy costs  Environmental impact of waste  Customer expectations  Outdated technologies Incentives - FIT FIT - but degression from 2014  15.16p/kWh - 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.

7 © Clearfleau l UK - Renewable Incentives - p/kW 2011/ 2012 Potential Revenue Apr 2012 Apr 2013 Apr 2014 FIT < 250kW14200kw/h = £220k14.715.1614 FIT 250 to 50013450kw/h = £460k13.714.0213 FIT > 5009.5900kW/h = £675k8.969.248.96 RHI Phase1 6.8199kW = £107k7.17.37.5 RHI Phase 2 -499kW = £232k--5.9

8 © 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

9 © Clearfleau Distilling & Brewing Conversion of Co-products  Spent grain pressings  Process residues  Wash waters Drivers for Distillery Sites  Sector expansion  Energy consumption  More remote sites Drivers for Brewers  Growth of micro brewers  Energy & carbon  Confined Industrial sites Drivers for Bio-fuels  Energy consumption  High energy residues  Environmental impact

11 On-Site Digestion for Food Processors Range of Opportunities: Lower solids  Soups and sauces  Food ingredients  Fats processors  Confectionery  Fruit and jams Higher solids  Vegetable growers  Bakery and starch  Meat processors  Ready meals  Food preparation  Some packaging materials

13 Technology Profile  Demonstration sites  Scale - risk & reward  Industry awareness Wider Benefits  Carbon reduction  On-site energy  Water recycling Future Challenges  Smaller scale  Carbon incentives  Membranes  Microbial fuel cells On site AD - Major Opportunity, not just in UK but across EU DEVELOPING THE SECTOR

14 © 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
