1 WORLD CONGRESS ON INDUSTRIAL BIOTECHNOLOGY CONCORD BLUE REFORMER Deriving a Synthetic Gas Building Block from Waste Scott A. Noll, Ph.D. Vice President-Project Management Concord Blue USA, Inc Wilshire Blvd Suite 660 Los Angeles, CA (310) CONCORD BLUE

2 CONCORD BLUE BACKGROUND CB is the inventor, owner, engineer & licensor for the Concord Blue Reformer waste to energy technology The Concord Blue Reformer provides a bridge from globally available waste streams to biologically or catalytically synthesized products from syngas Waste CBR Syngas

3 SYNGAS PATHWAYS TO MARKET Direct Use Hydrogen Electricity Steam/Heat Syngas Catalytic Synthesis MeOH EtOH Fischer-Tropsch Biological Synthesis EtOH 2,3 BDO Oleochemicals

4 CONCORD BLUE The CBR is an advanced steam thermolysis technology using staged reforming. Oxygen-free, no N 2 dilution Three primary stages Ceramic bead heating Solid waste pyrolysis to producer gas High temperature producer gas reforming to syngas Ceramic bead circulation Regulated plug flow by gravity downward Mechanical lift upward

5 CONCORD BLUE TECHNOLOGY PROCESS: Ceramic heat carrier balls used to achieve a constant, thorough and equal heat transfer to the waste material. Flue gas from a fully oxidizing char/gas furnace is used to heat the carrier balls.

13 CONCLUSION Concord Blue is a privately-held renewable energy technology firm delivering our highly flexible Concord Blue Reformer. The Concord Blue Reformer provides a bridging technology between abundant global solid waste streams and fuel and chemical products through the production of a synthesis gas intermediate Multiple feedstock flexibility including municipal solid waste, industrial toxic waste, sewage sludge, conventional woody biomass agricultural waste, shredded tires, non-recyclable plastics and others Syngas characteristics can be altered through various operating parameters including mass and speed of ceramic heat carrier beads, level of steam injection, and feedstock moisture content
