1 Heat and Power ORC Solutions ORC solutions to transform heat into green power

2 AQYLON, a Global ORC Company State of the art ORC solutions AQYLON is a global leader in the design and manufacturing of Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) solutions, which transform heat into electricity and thermal power from renewable sources (biomass, geothermal, solar) or from waste heat created by industrial processes, engines or gas turbines. Founded in 2009 in Paris by Pierre Convert and Guillaume Jeangros, AQYLON represents a new vision for ORC technology integrating innovative fluids, implementing new architectures and offering cycle-accurate design simulation. The company already has 3 turbine and ORC cycle patents and is in the process of filing 8 more in AQYLON s goal is to transcend beyond the typical equipment manufacturer business model to become an Energy Service Company (ESCO), offering costsaving electricity solutions for industrial clients. After 5 years of R&D, AQYLON s first pilot project was installed in Paris s ENSAM in 2013 and in 2015 the first commercial unit was launched in France near Marseille. AQYLON is an international company, continually expanding around the world in pursuit of one main goal: to change the face of power generation and provide the best state of the art technology to clients around the world.

3 With decreasing natural resources, climate change and humanity s continued progress, energy production is one of the greatest challenges faced by our world today. Approximately 50% of the fuel used to produce power in conventional plants and 60% of the energy used in industrial processes is wasted (cf. International Energy Agency). We can harness the heat generated by industrial production and renewable sources to generate clean, efficient, and cost-effective energy for continued sustainable growth. Pierre Convert CEO and Co-founder Technology to transform your heat into green power AQYLON ORC solutions are available in 500kWe, 1000kWe, and 2000kWe standard units and other custom design sizes Electric power Heat Heat BIOMASS Wood chips and sawmill waste Agricultural byproducts Green waste HEAT RECOVERY Industrial processes including glass, cement, metal manufacturing Incinerators (waste to power) Internal combustion engines Gas turbines GEOTHERMAL Capable of generating electricity from high energy sources with temperatures >80 C. SOLAR THERMAL Converts the heat generated by concentrated solar power (CSP) Reliable and decentralized energy ORC modules are one of the best solutions for decentralized energy that can be counted on for continuous operation. Many regions around the world do not have reliable power supply access and independent ORC sources could change millions of people s lives. 03

4 Produce More With Less Energy Unmatched thermodynamic cycle design know-how AQYLON is committed to finding the most suitable working fluids and thermodynamic conversion cycles for both standard and custom power generation applications. Thanks to their extensive knowledge of virtually all potential working fluids and cutting-edge proprietary software, our technical team can deliver unparalleled solutions for low to medium temperatures (400 C). State of the art turbomachinery for rugged and efficient expanders Using the most advanced CFD software, AQYLON carefully designs and improves blade geometry to reach isentropic efficiencies as high as 88%, improving module efficiency and extending its lifetime. Integration is the key Aqylon integrates all components in standard containers, delivering fullyequipped easy-to-install solutions. Combining the skills of a vast range of suppliers and subcontractors with the integration capabilities of its core technical team, AQYLON provides excellent uptime with highly secured and easy-to-operate solutions. Why choose an AQYLON ORC module? 1. Best adapted organic fluid for the proposed heat source % isentropic turbine efficiency 3. Low turbine speed (<7000 rpm), allowing direct drive of the electric generator without gear reduction in many applications, which allows a 25-year lifetime 4. Very quiet operation: <79db 5. Excellent operational performance: >98% availability 6. >95% cogeneration efficiency with a partial load down to 30% of nominal power 04

5 We can quickly and efficiently respond to the needs of our clients thanks to our new double standardization logic for WHR and biomass applications, in addition to custom designs for other applications. Our third party financing helps realize a wide range of projects that might otherwise never be possible. Guillaume Jeangros COO and Co-founder 2MWe unit Regenerator - condenser (4/5) Turbo Generator (3) Water Pump (6) Evaporator (1) Thermal oil 2MWe unit overall dimensions: H: 5.2 m (17 ft) W: 2.5m (8 ft) L: 18.2m (58 ft) All our modules are based on 20 ft and 40 ft isoframes Reliable and decentralized energy The organic fluid is vaporised in the evaporator (1) and then supplied to the ORC turbine (2) that drives the generator (3), producing clean and reliable power. The vaporized fluid enters the regenerator (4) to give its remaining energy to the liquid organic fluid. The steam is then condensed in a condenser (5) which is supplied with cooling water. The condensed fluid is then pumped (6) into the regenerator (4) and finally into the evaporator (1) to close the circuit. AQYLON ORC units are preassembled in our Paris facility workshop in two 40 containers for the 1 MWe unit, in two 20 and two 40 containers for the 2 MWe unit and in one or more containers for the other products. Organic Rankine Cycle Organic Rankine Cycle technology is very similar to a traditional steam rankine cycle; the major difference is that an organic fluid is used instead of water. This allows for a lower boiling point, which increases efficiency at low temperatures. 05

7 A Total Project Company A wide range of potential business models AQYLON can assume total responsibility for the successful implementation of turnkey projects, or manage a portion of the project. The company s management expertise complements a wide range of manufacturing capabilities, including design, financial engineering, procurement, construction, quality assurance, installation, commissioning, training, operation and maintenance. In addition to the ORC module, AQYLON can provide the whole spectrum of services and equipment to complete the project: WHR system and hot loop Piping and mechanical subsystem Controls and instrumentation Electrical subsystem, switchgear and switchyards Air or water cooled condensers Pumps Compressed air, water and support subsystems There are 3 possibilities at the end of a 7-10-year PPA contract: 1. There is no contract renewal: The SPV that owns the project has 6 months to take back the equipment. 2. There is a contract renewal: New electricity pricing and conditions will be determined for the renewed period. The minimum contract renewal period is 5 years. 3. Buyback option: The customer can purchase the equipment at a pre-determined discounted price. If the customer does not want to invest, AQYLON proposes a financed solution AQYLON Design Implementation Contract Sale of products Sale of maintenance AQYLON 10% - 15% Buys electricity at lower price than from grid (PPA) SPV CLIENT 10% - 15% Debt financing Buys heat Deconsolidated contract BANKS Financing INSTITUTIONS OTHER INVESTORS 70% - 80% SPV investors take the risks -- Buy equipment through equity + take OPEX in charge -- Share benefits CUSTOMER ZERO CAPEX/ OPEX solution Project Financing Model Creation of a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) that owns the ORC solution Sale of electricity or heat at an offtake price guaranteed for the long term Any performance risks are carried by the SPV No impact on the balance sheet of the client ( NO CAPEX ) Partitioning of the added value between the client and the investors This arrangement allows financing for projects beyond the usual 3 year payback time 07
