BIOLNG : MARKET
The transport sector is the most promising market for biogas use Source: Energimyndigheten, 2015 Source: SCB, SPBI, 2016 5
Reducing emissions from heavy goods transport is a national and international challenge Source: Trafikverket, 2015 Source: www.naturvardsverket.se 6
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 2013 7
Heavy vehicles potentially represent a significant share of the future biomethane market Scenarios 2030 4 (20%) 0,8 (4%) 0,5 (1,3% ) 1 TWh = 4 000-6 000 BioLNG trucks or 80 000 BioCNG cars ~160 MWh/y/truck (HGV) Total ~120 000 HGVs in Sweden 2030 Source: SWECO, Scenarier för gasanvändning i transportsektorn till 2030, 2016 8
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

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
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
BIOLNG : ECONOMICS
With bio-lng, project scale breaks free from distribution constraints Injection (grid) BioCNG (road) BioLNG (road) 14
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
Liquefaction allows to reach a wider market for the biomethane CNG + LNG market 2-step upgrading and liquefaction, large scale project 16
Biogas upgrading and biomethane liquefaction is made simpler by cryo-upgrading technology 17
Cryo Pur is an integrated process for both upgrading and liquefaction of CO2 and CH4 18
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
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
Resulting in significant reduction of biolng production costs Large scale project, BioLNG 2 bar 21
Cryogenic upgrading makes biolng more competitive for large-scale projects Large scale project, BioLNG 2 bar 22
and enables small scale biolng production projects Cryo-upgrading and liquefaction, small scale project 23
and enables small scale biolng production projects CNG + LNG market Cryo-upgrading and liquefaction, small scale project 24
