  1. ZeroPoint Clean Tech, Inc.Biomass to Energy Solutions NYSERDA Business Development Program Review Brooklyn, NY June 10, 2010

  2. ZeroPoint Company Overview • ZeroPoint has developed advanced biomass gasification systems for distributed renewable CHP and thermal applications • Founded in 2006 in affiliation with Clarkson University • Investment from NY Common Fund • Manufacturing in Tonawanda, NY (Hebeler Corp.) • Exporting NY Energy Technology into global markets • Building new markets for agricultural and forest sectors

  3. Technology – ZeroPoint Gasification • Enhanced Downdraft Gasification Design (optimized upgrade of known/reliable technology/processes) • In-situ tar cracking (cleaner gas) • Up to 85% Conversion of Biomass BTU Syngas • Valuable Biochar and Ash as Byproduct • Operates at Atmospheric Pressure (safer, easier, lower cost valves) • Compact and Configurable Footprint • Highly Monitored and Controlled • Clear Path to Product Field Readiness (months vs. years)

  4. ZeroPoint’s Distributed Model ZeroPoint Distributed Energy project capacities: • CHP 2 – 10 MW • Renewable Gas 18-90 Mmbtu/hr ZeroPoint Distributed Energy projects will be deployed: • At the source of feedstock • At the source of load/commodity requirements • Both • To minimize or eliminate feedstock/fuel transport or electric transmission requirements Features: • Zero-emission, carbon-neutral process qualifies for renewable attribute value (CERs, RPS, etc) • Minimal siting issues compared to large scale generation

  5. Joint Venture Business Model • ZeroPoint has established four international Joint Ventures to date: • United Kingdom • Northern Europe • India • Malaysia • Joint Venture guarantees sales pipeline in exchange for geographic exclusivity • ZP deploys technology through Joint Ventures for substantial margin • ZP also holds minority equity stake in Joint Venture for recurring project revenue streams • All JVs are qualified counterparties, capable of handling and financing all project development efforts

  6. Advantages of Biomass Energy • Biomass energy displaces high carbon fossil fuels • Biomass energy reduces dependence on imported energy • Biomass energy provides base load energy, other renewable resources are intermittent • Biomass energy builds new markets for agricultural resources and waste streams • Biomass energy creates local jobs

  7. ZeroPoint Advantages • Higher conversion efficiency translates into improved project economics • System scale is suited to reality of biomass supplies • Skid mounted configuration mitigates project site selection risk • Small footprint design reduces siting issues • Downdraft gasification captures carbon in biochar rather than releasing into atmosphere
