Biochemical CO 2 capture

2. Biochemical CO2 capture • A sustainable development technology • For energy production and heavy industries • First commercially available biochemical process One more tool for adressingclimate change challenges - No more CO2 to handle -

3. Greenhouse gases (GHGs):when « too much » is « bad » • Nature has had GHG emissions for ever • In balance with GHG consumption by natural means • Increasing human activities generate an excess of GHG emissions • Imbalance with GHG consumption by natural means • GHG emissions will have to be reduced • voluntarily and/or by regulation • CO2 is the most prevalent GHG • followed by CH4

4. Many ways to reduce GHGs • GHG reduction achievements will be a combination of various approaches • Selecting the best energy source • coal, oil, natural gas, biogas, hydrogen • Upgrading industrial processes • to reduce amounts of GHGs produced • Capturing CO2 after being emitted • for massive recycling or sequestration

5. Capture of CO2 emissions • Greenhouse gas emissions are gas mixtures • CO2, CH4, H2S, NOx • The petro-chemical industry already knows how to selectively extract CO2 from a gas mixture • For industrial use of the CO2-free gas mixture • Disposal of CO2 at lowest cost • GHG volumes are massively higher than CO2 volumes extracted by industry • Petrochemical industry technologies are cost prohibitive

6. Capture - Sequestration • First, capture CO2 • Extraction form a gas mixture • Condensation, liquefaction • Then, sequestrate it • Where ? Environmental risks • Will it come back in the atmosphere as CO2 ? • Need for new technologies • Less risk, definitive CO2 elimination

7. CO2 Solution Inc. offers an innovative alternative • CO2 gas is converted into an unharmful liquid by-product, right at point of emission • No more need of energy to compress or liquify captured CO2 • No more CO2

8. Biochemical catalyst Massive amounts of catalyst are affordably synthesized through latest advances in genetic engineering Production costs slashedby a factor of 100 • Using a potent and robust biochemical catalyst,CO2 Solution’s treatment unit replicates a natural process occuring in human muscles • - Carbonic anhydrase -One of the most efficient catalysts,now available for industrial use

9. Attractive features • CO2 Solution’s reactor operates at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure • Lower costs • Sustainable development technology • Favorable Life Cycle Assessment (ISO 14040) • Can enrich methane-poor biogases by stripping their CO2 content • The instant by-product is an easily manageable liquid solution of bicarbonate ions (HCO3-)

10. Ancillary benefits of theby-product • CO2 Solution’s treatment unit: • instantaneously converts harmful CO2 gas • into unharmful bicarbonate ion solution Valuable alternatives to CO2 compression or liquefaction

11. Added value of by-product Several HCO3- recycling options: • Sequestration in saline aquifers • More affordable than piping CO2 • Irreversible sequestration, no risk of CO2 leak • Precipitation, e.g. into calcium carbonate • Commercial value in Pulp and Paper, etc. • Pure CO2 regeneration through desorption • Valuable local production in remote areas

12. A plan of actionfor each industrial sector • CO2 Solution has a plan of action for your industry sector • Coal-fired power plants • Hydrogen plants and gensets • Biogas enrichment for power generation • Incinerators • Cement, aluminum smelters, pulp and paper, foundry • CO2 Solution’s plan of action can help you reduce your GHG emissions by 10% within 3-6 years • This plan of action will be highly competitive with the increasing costs of CO2 emission penalties
