2 BioCNG and Cornerstone Environmental Group Cornerstone Environmental Group is a landfill gas, solid waste engineering and field service firm. BioCNG, LLC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cornerstone Environmental. Fabrication by Unison. BioCNG system Developed to economically produce biogas-based CNG at small scale. Allow public and private entities to produce their own vehicle fuel at a fraction of the cost of gasoline or diesel.

3 BIOGAS AND CNG BASICS

4 Gasoline and diesel costs continue to rise CNG is used worldwide as a vehicle fuel 15,000,000 vehicles worldwide (<200K in US) Powers small and large vehicles (scooters to semis) Well proven and safe Solid waste sector is leading the way

5 Compressed Natural Gas CNG is used worldwide as a vehicle fuel 15,000,000 vehicles worldwide (<200K in US) Powers small and large vehicles (scooters to semis) Well proven and safe Most CNG to date from natural gas

10 Natural gas price spike may concern solid waste industry Waste & Recycling News, October 4, 2012 But this recent price spike is a small reminder that nothing is a given, not even a clean fuel source that can be easily attained in the United States and create thousands of highpaying jobs. One stroke of the president's pen, one devastating hurricane, even one man-made disaster could derail the solid waste industry's dependence on cheap natural gas.

11 BIOGAS TO CNG

12 Same energy root as natural gas methane Biogas Usually 50-70% methane and 30-50% C02; heating value of Btu/ft 3 Contaminants H2S, N2, O2, moisture, VOCs, siloxanes

13 Use otherwise wasted biogas Opens up opportunities where they didn t exist before Manure and organics digesters, smaller landfills, WWTP Excess biogas at larger sites Incentives for renewable electricity are disappearing in many places Growing desire for local and national energy independence and control It s affordable now!

14 Significant savings over gasoline and diesel 25-50% of current gas/diesel cost Local, green, renewable fuel source Up to 90% GHG reductions v. gas and diesel Significant VOC, PM, and air toxics reductions Realize the full potential of renewable fuel and GHG credits Control your future! NG-based CNG cost will rise in the future Biogas-based CNG locked in

15 Landfills Wastewater Treatment Plants Dairies and Farms Commercial Food Waste Residential Food & Yard Wastes

16 BioCNG Market Potential Current Nationwide Biogas Sources 600 operating LFG Energy projects (excess biogas) electric contracts expiring 500+ candidate landfills and ~2,000 WWTP digesters (unused biogas) 195 manure/organics-based digesters At least 8,000 opportunities (new source of biogas) Hundreds of billions of cubic feet of biogas wasted every year!

37 BioCNG 100 System Economics Produce BioCNG at ~$ per GGE Cost is about $0.70 less per GGE with currently available federal renewable fuel credits Vehicles Conversions Heavy-duty trucks - $30-40K Passenger vehicles/pick ups - $9-15K New CNG vehicles 10-20% higher (coming down) New CNG trucks comparable to advanced diesel With gas and diesel at $ gallon payback expected at between 1 and 5 years

38 BioCNG 100 cfm Sample Project 100 cfm is digester biogas (straight manure) of ~1000 cows Biogas Input cfm of digester biogas (65% methane) BioCNG Production 576 Gasoline Gallon Equivalents (DGE) produced per day 15,000 DGE per month (~180,000 DGE per year) Enough fuel for 8-10 heavy-duty trucks (or passenger vehicles) Fuel Savings Assuming savings of $2 gallon on gasoline/diesel costs $360,000 in annual fuel savings Renewable Fuel Credits Assuming $0.63 per DGE ~$110,000 per year

39 Project Structures Produce CNG on site for: Biogas owner vehicles (heavy duty, medium, passenger) Site users (trash trucks, organics haulers, milk trucks) Soon - transfer trailers, over the road tractors, inter-modal Public Produce upgraded biogas Fuel off site station ( mother-daughter station ) Sell upgraded biogas to end user
