4 BIOLNG : MARKET

5 The transport sector is the most promising market for biogas use Source: Energimyndigheten, 2015 Source: SCB, SPBI,

6 Reducing emissions from heavy goods transport is a national and international challenge Source: Trafikverket, 2015 Source: 6

7 BioLNG is particularly adapted to long-range transport Road passenger Road freight Water Rail LPG CNG/BioCNG LNG/BioLNG Electricity Hydrogen Short Medium Long Short Medium Long Inland Short-sea Maritime Source: A European alternative fuel strategy, EC

8 Heavy vehicles potentially represent a significant share of the future biomethane market Scenarios (20%) 0,8 (4%) 0,5 (1,3% ) 1 TWh = BioLNG trucks or BioCNG cars ~160 MWh/y/truck (HGV) Total ~ HGVs in Sweden 2030 Source: SWECO, Scenarier för gasanvändning i transportsektorn till 2030,

9 The LNG market for long-haul trucks is under development in Europe The development is supported by the launch of new, more efficient vehicles... and through building up distribution infrastructure. Source: 9

10 Bio-LNG can help further reduce maritime transport emissions Source: Fluxys Source: Containerships Group, Serry

11 The natural gas grid carries limitations in many countries In Nordic Countries, the natural gas grid is limited to Denmark, South-West Sweden and South Finland. Source: System Development Map, Gas Infrastructure Europe, 2014 Even in a country with a denser grid like France, its is estimated that 40% of all potential biomethane projects are precluded due to grid limitations (distance, capacity) Source: GRDF estimates 11

12 The liquid form enables efficient biomethane transport and storage B1 - Liquefied in ISO container Pressure: up to 20 bar Capacity: 10-20t per container A - Compressed in bundles Pressure: 250 bar Capacity: 2t per flak B2 - Liquefied in trailer Pressure: 2-6 bar Capacity: 20t per trailer 12

13 BIOLNG : ECONOMICS

14 With bio-lng, project scale breaks free from distribution constraints Injection (grid) BioCNG (road) BioLNG (road) 14

15 Lower distribution costs compensate for liquefaction costs 2-step upgrading and liquefaction, large scale project On-site costs = gas treatment costs (exclude raw gas production costs) 15

16 Liquefaction allows to reach a wider market for the biomethane CNG + LNG market 2-step upgrading and liquefaction, large scale project 16

17 Biogas upgrading and biomethane liquefaction is made simpler by cryo-upgrading technology 17

18 Cryo Pur is an integrated process for both upgrading and liquefaction of CO2 and CH4 18

19 Expertise in cryogenic CO2 capture Cryogenic CO 2 capture : physical separation. -90 C -120 C CO 2 starts frosting Separated CO 2 ready to be unfrosted and liquefied 19

20 Cryo Pur technology carries many benefits Integrated technology for biogas upgrading, bioco 2 liquefaction and biomethane liquefaction Lower CAPEX and OPEX Simplified integration and management of interfaces Performance Guarantees Large product range Liquid CO2 as by-product Low electric energy consumption : 0.6 kwh/nm 3 raw biogas for both upgrading and liquefaction: 15 bar(a)/-120 C 0.7 kwh/nm 3 raw biogas for both upgrading and liquefaction: 2 bar(a)/-160 C Heat recovery on refrigeration systems covering up to 100% AD heating needs No methane slip or minimum methane slip for landfill biogas High flexibility of the system: from 50% to 120% of the nominal biogas flowrate Physical separation, no consumables 20

21 Resulting in significant reduction of biolng production costs Large scale project, BioLNG 2 bar 21

22 Cryogenic upgrading makes biolng more competitive for large-scale projects Large scale project, BioLNG 2 bar 22

23 and enables small scale biolng production projects Cryo-upgrading and liquefaction, small scale project 23

24 and enables small scale biolng production projects CNG + LNG market Cryo-upgrading and liquefaction, small scale project 24

25 Cryo Pur Range Product Nominal biogas flowrate (Nm 3 /hr) Minimal biogas flowrate (-50%) (Nm 3 /hr) Maximal biogas flowrate (+120%) (Nm 3 /hr) Nominal bio-lng production* (TPD) Nominal LCO 2 production* (TPD) CP CP CP CP CP CP CP CP * Production is calculated for a biogas composition of 55% CH 4 and 45% CO 2. 25

26 General Layout of the Cryo Pur Equipment 1. Desulfurization (activated carbon filters) Air cooler 2. Dehumidification and pretreatment 3. CO2 separation and liquefaction Electrical room 4. Biomethane liquefaction Chiller Refrigeration units 26
