Clean Energy

The Fifth Conference on
CLEAN ENERGY
12 - 13, 2009
MTTC 2009
November 12, 2009
elcome to our fifth annual Conference on Clean Energy the capstone event of Massachusetts
Clean Energy Week. We hope that you have enjoyed one or more of the other events that have
comprised Clean Energy Week.
Our fifth conference, much like the Clean Energy sector, has grown enormously in size and complexity
since we held the first conference in 2005. But as with our prior conferences we are pleased to provide
an opportunity for investors, inventors and entrepreneurs to network with each other. The conference is
a showcase for the entire Clean Energy Cluster in New England and beyond; from newly formed companies to those with significant investment and products in the market; from the local market to international
opportunities; from efficiency and energy services through solar, wind, hydro and biological sources of
renewable energy to novel storage and fuel cell solutions.
Two factors maintain clean energy at the forefront of State and Federal initiatives. First, the need to
dramatically reduce our carbon footprint and reduce our impact on our warming world, and second, the
contribution this sector can play in reviving the economy. The Commonwealths executive branch continues to ensure that Massachusetts is seen as a leader in policy arenas as well as in the rapid commercialization of new technologies. We are pleased to have the continuing support of both the Honorable
Deval Patrick, Governor of Massachusetts, and Secretary Ian Bowles of the Executive Office of Energy
and Environmental Affairs. We are also pleased to welcome Under Secretary Steven Koonin from the US
Department of Energy who will give us the view from Washington on Clean Energy policy.
We have ten industry panels that will provide in depth analysis of different clean energy sectors. We
have four investment panels one focused on infrastructure funding for clean energy, a second addressing investments being made by venture capitalists, the third concentrating on seed investing and a new
panel looking at the important role of Federal and State funding programs. In addition, we have panels
proving insights into international clean energy projects and policy, as well as early stage research being
undertaken at our institutions and university spin-off companies.
The centerpiece of our conference continues to be the pitches that will be made by 35 early stage companies, many of which have close links to our local research institutions and universities. These companies
are seeking initial investments as well as connections to potential partners and customers. While showcasing primarily companies from Massachusetts we are also pleased to welcome pitching companies
from across the country and from the United Kingdom and Norway.
We are very grateful to the numerous sponsors who have contributed to the program. In particular, we
would like to recognize the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center, the Canadian Consulate and Foley
Hoag who have all made a significant financial contribution to the conference. We are particularly grateful to our committee members, our staffs, and to the numerous volunteers who have helped with the
organization and execution of this program. In addition, we have been supported in our marketing efforts
by many other non-profit groups who are committed to building the cluster. We appreciate their collaboration with us on this signature event.
We hope you enjoy the conference.
Sincerely,
Dr. Abigail Barrow, MTTC

Clean energy is a core part of Massachusetts economic

future. Now is the time to redouble our efforts to reduce
energy use, increase energy independence, curb
greenhouse gases and accelerate investment in the
clean energy economy. Clean Energy Week - including
its signature event, the Conference on Clean Energy - will
shine a spotlight on our clean energy future as businesses,
government leaders, educators and others team up to
share ideas and develop innovative solutions.

Featured Speakers
The Honorable Deval Patrick
Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
Keynote, Conference Reception, Tuesday
Governor Deval Patrick was elected in November of 2006. He brings to the Governors office a broad range
of leadership experience at the top levels of business, government, and non-profits. From an early age, he
has built his life on hope, and traced a trajectory from the South Side of Chicago to the U.S. Justice Department, Fortune 500 boardrooms, and now the Massachusetts State House.
Governor Patrick came to the Commonwealth at the age of 14. An excellent student despite the difficult
circumstances of under-funded and often violent Chicago schools, he was awarded a scholarship to Milton
Academy through A Better Chance, a Boston-based organization.

About the Investor Pitches

Introduction
The Massachusetts Technology Transfer Center hosts several conferences a year, each focused on a different technology or industry sector. The purpose of these events is to provide a showcase for entrepreneurs
with early stage companies to make ten-minute investor pitches to the business community. Each conference also features an exhibit hall of all the startup companies in which a reception is held to maximize networking opportunities.
The pool of applicants to present has grown rapidly since our inaugural Conference on Clean Energy in
2005. Most are based in Massachusetts and have ties to Massachusetts research institutions, but this year
we have entrepreneurs from around the country as well as Europe. We have selected as broad a range of
companies as possible, from technologies still in the university laboratory to companies starting to sell product; from the most polished and experienced presenters to those who have never presented to the business
community before; from the most cutting edge technology to the most mundane processes that still support
an innovative business model.
Business and Technology Maturity

The mandate of the MTTC is to help entrepreneurs based in nonprofit research institutions to commercialize
their technologies. Thus, we always give priority to applicants from our universities. However, we are also
working toward economic development in the state, so we also welcome entrepreneurs already working in
startup companies, giving preference to those who are licensing university technology. You will hear investor
pitches from full-time professors and from managers who have been commercializing technologies for thirty
years or more. Those who have already earned significant venture capital are beyond the scope of this section of the conference but may participate in the Industry Sector Sessions organized by the Massachusetts
Hydrogen Coalition.
A few presenters are alumni of prior Conferences on Clean Energy. They are invited to participate only if they
have significant business updates to incorporate into their investor presentation.
Clean Energy Categories

We define clean energy quite broadly: any service or product that enables the end user to consume less
fossil fuels and generate less carbon dioxide. Any startup company meeting this general criterion has the
potential to enhance our energy security and reduce the environmental impact of our energy use. More energy-efficient products are just as important as technologies that provide more traditional renewable energy
businesses such as wind farms.
Our categories and some related subcategories are:

Renewable Energy: Fuel Cells, Hydro, Ocean, Photovoltaics, Solar Thermal, Waste, and
Wind technologies
Alternate Fuels: Biodiesel, Biofuels, Ethanol, and Hydrogen
Storage: Batteries and Supercaps
Energy Efficiency & Management: Control Systems, Demand Response, Engine Design, and
Green Buildings
November 12 & 13, 2009

Investor Advisory Board

The Investor Advisory Board (IAB) was first created for the 2007 Conference on Clean Energy to help build
as strong a pool of candidates for the pitching sessions as possible. We would like to thank the IAB members for volunteering their valuable time and expertise to identify a large pool of startup companies and then
to review their applications to pitch and provide recommendations. The quality and quantity of this years
Investor Pitches is a direct result of their contributions to the process.

Company Overview
7Solar is developing a fully integrated and controllable Solar PV and Solar Thermal module that combines traditional Silicon solar cells with a hot
water loop. Our AquaPanel solar module provides electricity and domestic hot water even in cold climate environments where traditional solar
panels and solar thermal systems do not perform well. Integrated control
software actively regulates the PVT module and uses the buildings energy usage patterns and weather- and energy price forecasts to actively
minimize energy costs. As a result our solution will provide 40-50% more
electricity out of the PV module over the year, while at the same time
having a 30% lower installation cost and providing a 50% reduction in
heating costs. The ROI for a homeowner is estimated to be 3 to 4 years
in stead of the more common 7-10 years for traditional installations.

Our team members have 26 US patents in solar technology and 7 patents pending. We have acquired a small solar module manufacturing line
that we are setting up to develop our unique modules. We estimate the
US market for our application at 60M residences and 500,000 commercial and industrial buildings. In 2013
the total available market for 7Solar is estimated at 16.5GW.
Product/ Technology
We have acquired and are setting up a small PVT module pilot line (~6MW) to develop our production technology. We intend to outsource high volume manufacturing to a larger strategic partner once initial production
has been proven. Our PVT module will be compatible with existing module manufacturing. We are establishing development partnerships with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Fraunhofer CSE and with a
number of global strategic partners.
In the first phase in early 2011we will deploy standard cells, materials and manufacturing technologies to get
our modules certified and to perform our first installations with our web based software. In the second phase
we will deploy proprietary module materials that reduce cost and improve electrical and thermal properties.
In the third phase we will integrate new cells specifically designed for PVT applications.
We have developed and laminated a demo module and have filed 3 patent disclosures to date with additional
disclosures pending in the next few months.

Markets and Applications

The global market outlook for solar PV installations in 2013 is 22GW with a growth rate of 32%. Assuming
25% of the market is residential, 50% commercial, industrial, government, and 25% utility-scale, then the
total available market for 7Solar is 16.5GW. To meet the companys growth targets, we need to capture less
that 0.5% of the total PV market by 2013. Targets are:
1. U.S. homeowners with high electricity and hot water demand or limited roof space, in states
with good incentives for solar PV and thermal systems: CA, NJ, CO, AZ, CT, NY, HI, FL.
2. U.S. Commercial/Industrial and Municipal buildings in these same states.
3. U.S. federal government buildings with high electricity and hot water demand.
4. European residential and commercial market.
Commercial Opportunity
Focus initially on U.S. commercial/industrial (primary) and residential retrofit opportunities.

U.S. Commercial/Industrial Market - Direct sales for opportunities above 200kW. Partner with
Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) firms to provide financing to qualified customers.
U.S. Residential Market - Indirect sales through distributors, PV installers, and solar thermal
installers. Sell complete kits, w/BOS components and control software in a turn-key solution.
Competitive Advantage
Our sustainable advantage comes from the proprietary materials (backskin and encapsulant) in the module
and custom PVT cells that will give us an inherently lower module cost (10-15%) and a higher annual electrical production (40-50%) as compared to standard c-PV modules.
Whereas a combined installation of PV and Solar Thermal would cost approximately $8.70/We to install, our
PVT system would ultimately cost less than $4.35/We and would produce domestic hot water in addition plus
take up 30% less space.
Future Financial Plans

The company is expecting to raise $5.0m for initial development and certification of its AquaPanel modules.
A second round of approximately $12.0m is anticipated in 2011 to fund our market expansion.
In the first phase our milestones are

Develop molded heat exchanger for thermal portion by 4/2010

Laminate standard materials and combine with a water circulating backing by 7/2010.
Install Beta system with major customer by 9/2010
Obtain UL and TuV certification for PVT module by 6/2011

Advent Technologies
Presented by:
Rick Daniels, North American CEO

Company Overview
ADVENT TECHNOLOGIES has developed a breakthrough in fuel cell
technology that will enable a step change in the commercial viability of
this long delayed energy technology.
The breakthrough is an advanced high temperature membrane for
polymer electrode membrane (PEM) fuel cells, enabling use with a variety of conventional fuels rather than pure Hydrogen, a lower capital
cost, and longer and reliable life.
The high temperature approach for PEM fuel cells is a recent development, and will replace low temperature PEM fuel cell technology, as
well as phosphoric acid fuel cells, quickly.

The company is in direct competition with only one other commercially

achievable high temperature PEM approach (recently acquired by BASF). BASF is currently in a parallel
manufacturing scale up. Advent can demonstrate both a superior material and a faster approach to manu
facturing and partnering relative to BASF, and will benefit greatly from their activities in market development
at the same customers.
Funds will be used to set up US operations, including commercial staff, a US development laboratory, and
outsourced manufacturing. The company is seeking a combination of venture capital and corporate partnering funding.
Product/Technology
Prevailing PEM fuel cell technology is low temperature (70 to 100o C) based on a perflourinated copolymer
from DuPont and others. PEM technology has not been widely deployed as fuel cell manufacturers have
struggled since the 1980s to increase the durability and lower the cost of PEM fuel cells, which exhibit three
negative attributes that limit commercial proliferation: contamination by ppm of impurities of Hydrogen (such
as CO), membrane hydration issues, and high amounts of catalyst required. Advents high temperature
membrane functions at temperatures of 160o C to 200o C, allowing use with reformed fuels (natural gas,
propane, biofuels, and military fuels) without the inefficient and capital intensive clean up common to previous PEM technologies obtain pure Hydrogen fuel.
November 12 & 13, 2009


End use markets for high temperature fuel cells are combined heat and power (CHP) at high fuel efficiency
for residential (microCHP), commercial, and industrial facilities, portable power, military power, truck and
automotive auxiliary power units (APU), telecom backup, bus power, and larger scale CHP. These markets
are moving from only several thousand units per year worldwide to several hundred thousand by 2011, cited
by Panasonic, BASF, and independent sources. Note this is not a five or ten year forecast, but within 18
months.
Automotive is a large potential long term market, but in the near term Advent is forecasting only demonstration programs. These will provide substantial revenue for a materials supplier like Advent.
The membrane product can also be used in hydrogen clean-up and methanol production. All of these markets mid scale power and heat generation, handling of gases and liquid fuel purification are multibillion
in scale.
Advents go to market strategy is quite straightforward go to low temperature PEM system designers and
fabricators and offer a simpler overall solution. The new membrane is close to drop in, although the entire
system can require simplification and re engineering.
Advent has the key technology to make high temperature PEM fuel cells. It is an attractive joint venture
partner, acquisition, or acquisition platform to forward or horizontally integrate.
Panasonic and BASF are the most credible market size estimates given their heavy investment, totaling
several hundred million USD in the past 3 years.
Advent has only one competitor in the high temperature PEM market. There are several advantages over
the BASF offering: The membrane is available from Advent alone or in a membrane electrode assembly,
whereas BASF is supplying stacks at a significant cost uplift; and the Advent membrane is cheaper, easier to
manufacture and to handle in subsequent steps, more tailorable chemically, and can take stack pressures
the BASF membrane cannot.
Electrical testing indicates a superior performance of the membrane and longer life compared to both low
temperature and other high temperature materials.

Funding will allow setting up commercial sales and marketing, outsourced manufacturing, and applications
laboratories (analytical and formulation laboratories accessible to customers).
The company is seeking corporate partnering for funding, manufacturing of some components, and go to
market.

ARRIBA Solar
Presented by:
Soren Harrison, Co-Founder
Company Overview
ARRIBA Solar is a metrology and process control company whose
mission is to accelerate solar PV to grid parity, by providing valuable,
real-time measurement of the composition and thickness of solar cells
in the manufacturing environment. Regardless of technology (thin-film,
c-Si), Solar PV manufacturers must reduce the cost per watt of their
solar panels. The ARRIBA Solar solution allows manufacturers to control and optimize their manufacturing processes and improve uniformity
of thin-film characteristics; this results in increased panel efficiencies
(closing the lab-to-fab efficiency gap), higher yields, longer uptime,
and decreased material costs. All of these improvements allow solar
panel manufacturers to decrease their cost per watt, resulting in an annual savings of $1.76M and a payback period of only 3-6 months (for
a 50MW manufacturing plant). We estimate the addressable market,
specifically for our technology, to be $280-570M in 2015. Our competitive advantage lies in our breakthrough and proprietary technology,
and our application of this technology inside the manufacturing environment. The ARRIBA Solar team, comprised of MIT/Harvard scientists
and MIT MBAs, seeks $5M in series A funding.

Product/Technology Profile
The ARRIBA Solar solution consists of (in-situ) measurement sensors that go inside the manufacturing lines
of solar PV manufacturers, and measurement software that quantifies the measurements for line operators.
The core technology (the ARRIBA technique) extends accelerator based surface analysis techniques to industrial environments at a fraction of the cost and with a physical footprint that is orders of magnitude smaller.
We also provide an annually recurring maintenance contract for replacing consumables, and upgrading the
measurement and process control software.
November 12 & 13, 2009


Arriba Solar intends to sell our metrology and process control solution to: (1) thin-film manufacturers (e.g.
First Solar, MiaSole, Showa Shell) for installation in their primary production lines, and (2) crystalline-silicon
manufacturers for installation in their vacuum-based process steps. Based on projected capacity growth of
solar panel manufacturers, we estimate the addressable market, specifically for our technology, to be $280570M in 2015.
Our target customers are solar PV manufacturers who used vacuum-based deposition processes in their
production lines. We plan to get designed into large target customers production facilities by working closely with them throughout the development of our alpha, beta, and commercial product. As our large customers
replicate their production lines, ARRIBA Solar can scale manufacturing and sales up quickly, without having
to service a large number of customers.
ARRIBA Solars sustainable competitive advantage lies in its proprietary surface analysis technique, including both the hardware and software portions of its technology. The ARRIBA technique outperforms its closest technical competitors, like x-ray fluorescence (XRF), on a variety of metrics. The co-founder of ARRIBA
Solar, Dr. Soren Harrison, is the inventor and worlds expert on the ARRIBA technique. Through internal
R&D, and established connections to the research community at MIT and Harvard, further breakthroughs
will also be realized to broaden our competitive advantage. We will also leverage existing relationships with
target customers to drive adoption and sales of the ARRIBA Solar solution. A full discussion of technical and
corporate competitors can be found in our business plan.

ARRIBA Solar seeks a Series A investment of $5 million. These funds will be used to demonstrate real-time
measurement capabilities on product, for customer testing, and for full development of a commercial product.
Other major expenses would include employee salaries, marketing, research expenditures, rent, and operating expenses. We expect this initial funding to enable our first 15 months of operations, which will result in
beta testing with customers and our commercial product release. At the end of 15 months, we will seek an
additional round of $5 million to build out our sales and service teams, and begin large-scale customer acquisition. We expect revenues of $14 million by the end of 36 months and expect to finance our operations
from organic cash flow by the end of 42 months. Our projections indicate we will have revenues of $95.6M
in 2015.

fuel and steam while recovering entrapped metals. The unique aspect
[email protected]
of the technology is that it uses CO2 and CO as oxidizing agents at a
www.carbontechllc.com
controlled temperature to break down the carbon/hydrogen bonds of
the waste streams. Significant benefits to our technology are the consumption of CO2, reduced volume to landfills and the recovery of metals without degradation. A significant advantage of the technology is that it is exothermic so that it requires
very little additional energy when the reaction is active. The feedstock materials available to CarbonTech are
the 180 million tons of MSW and the 5 million tons of ASR land filled annually as well as the 20 million tons of
waste tires not currently recycled. Revenue streams include: waste product tipping fees, utilizing the carbon
generated by the process as a coal substitute under renewable portfolio standards, and scrap metal sales.
The patented Cato Process utilizes a CO2/CO environment at a controlled temperature to break down carbon/hydrogen bonds of waste materials. Metals are recovered in disposed of condition.

The primary markets are 180 million tons of MSW, 5 million tons of ASR and in excess of 20 million tons of
waste tires.
CarbonTech will target automobile shredder operators and landfills as customers. In testing, the technology
has shown an 80-90% reduction in volume of disposable wastes. In addition, previously disposed of materials are feasible as feed stocks thereby enabling the mining of existing facilities to extend usable life.
November 12 & 13, 2009

Competing technologies, such as pyrolysis, gasification and plasma arc, convert waste streams but do so at
high energy consumption and at the destruction or severe degradation of the entrapped metals. CarbonTech
is low energy due to the exothermic nature of the process and recovers metals in their disposed of condition.

CarbonTech seeks funding to perform an extended demonstration of the technology to develop the data for
process design engineers to scale the technology for a fully functional commercial operation which may include electrical power generating capability.

Cascodas mission is to become the world-leading semiconductor supplier for such wireless control systems. In order to achieve this, Cascoda has patented a new type of radio architecture which will double receiver sensitivity over the current
state-of-the-art, whilst allowing for dynamic power control. This will deliver a dramatic increase in data-link
reliability and battery life.
Cascoda has an expert team, with a ten year history of technology commercialization. The team formed the
core of a NASDAQ listed semiconductor suppliers communications division, and has a proven track record
in the design and implementation of complex semiconductors devices. Cascoda seeks to raise US$5 million
in first-round funding, in order to complete product development.
Product/Technology
Cascodas radio targets the 2.4GHz band of the IEEE 802.15.4 worldwide wireless standard. This is a standard which defines a low-data-rate, short-range wireless network specifically designed for the applications
referred to earlier. It is by far the most commonly used standard for such applications.
Cascoda is developing a single chip radio transceiver, which incorporates a radio, a microcontroller, on-chip
sensors and off-chip sensor interfaces. Cascodas proposition offers the worlds highest data-link reliability,
dynamic power control, ultra-low power consumption and low cost.
November 12 & 13, 2009


Cascodas radio transceiver can be applied to multiple markets, including industrial control, building control,
consumer electronics and medical devices. As the technology enters the growth phase, devices will increasingly be employed in applications with a requirement to operate from a low-cost battery and/or an energyharvesting power source. In these markets, ultra-low power consumption is a key success factor.
The addressable market for IEEE 802.15.4 wireless semiconductors is projected to be greater than 1 billion
US$ by 2012, with a compound annual growth rate of greater than 100% in the ensuing period.
The market for Cascodas radio semiconductors is truly global. The supply chain includes chipset providers,
module manufacturers, wireless system providers and back-end system providers. The downstream market
is dominated by OEMs such as Honeywell and GE Energy in the US, Siemens and ABB in Europe, and NEC
and Hitachi in Japan. In order to access such OEMs, Cascoda will partner with module manufacturers and
wireless system providers, which have a comprehensive knowledge of the application demands and software systems required within each vertical market segment.
Cascodas competitive advantage is based upon a new type of radio architecture, which overcomes the problems of low data-link reliability and poor battery life. This architecture delivers a doubling of receiver sensitivity, for no penalty in power consumption or cost. This doubling of receiver sensitivity will greatly extend the
range and the data-link reliability over the existing state-of-the-art.
Moreover, Cascodas architecture is unique in that it can leverage this increase in receiver sensitivity to
deliver dynamic power control; the ability to dynamically trade receiver sensitivity for power consumption,
in order to maximize battery life. Cascoda has formal intellectual property rights over its radio architecture,
through patent protection. In addition, Cascoda has significant know-how and a capability to excel in the field
of low-power and wireless semiconductor design.

Cascoda seeks to raise US$5 million in first-round funding, in order to complete product development.

Cleanhydro Inc.
Presented by:

Company Overview
This is a highly profitable venture, which will make the chlor-alkali/PVC
plant owners earn up to $50 million per year. Other coal-burning power
plant owners with access to the reactant raw material may also profit
from this venture. The power plants can be retrofitted with Cleanhydro
reactors converting carbon emissions to industrially useful solids. The
reactor also produces hydrogen with no carbon emission. Some 48
plants can be retrofitted producing products that can bring over $2 bil
lion in profit annually on the whole. The team at present consists of a
professor, a chemist, a physicist and a chemical engineer and a chemical engineer consultant. A manager and an industrial engineer will be
added.
The products include hydrogen that is produced without any carbon
emission and other industrially useful products which sell with profit.
The products help reduce the CO2 emission from industrial plants that
are spewing CO2 in the atmosphere; the use of hydrogen as an energy
source further helps in reducing carbon emissions.

The Cleanhydro reactor will use a solid and gases which are byproducts of coal-burning plants. The market
for Cleanhydro products should grow many times as the countries such as India and China start using more
and more power plants for their industrial needs.
Conventional Power Plants and Chlor Alkali Plants both produce valuable products (electricity, hydrogen,
chlorine for PVC and other uses). CleanHydro utilizes well-established chemistry innovatively to convert dangerous waste: heat, carbon gases CO and CO2 into hydrogen and sequestered carbon,
thereby generating enormous profits while reducing carbon emissions.

~ 50 Co-Located plant sites in US alone

More than175 chlor-alkali enterprises in China (In recent years, the production capacity
has increased exponentially)
India has barely 15 chlor-alkali plants, which means lots of opportunities (The chlor-alkali industry is on a higher growth trajectory in India. With the expected GDP growth, the manufacturing sector is set to grow at a higher pace and consequently, the demand for basic chemicals
shall register a sharp increase).
A single reactor that uses 43,800 tons of caustic soda will sequester 96,360 tons of CO2 and will produce
464,280 tons of soda and 8,760 tons of hydrogen. Estimated 2-year payback.
Carbon Credits:
A carbon tax of $30 per ton of carbon = a gasoline tax of about 9 cents/gal.
Similarly, the tax on coal-generated electricity =1 cent /kWh, or 10 percent of the current retail price. At current levels of carbon emissions in the United States, a tax of $30 per ton of carbon would generate $50 billion
of revenue per year
November 12 & 13, 2009

Sale of products
Hydrogen is highly valued for stationary use as a fuel and soda is a highly used chemical in many diverse
industries replacing caustic soda in many cases.
The target customers are coal-burning power plant and chlor-alkali plant owners who will benefit by the
profitable sale of the products from the retrofitted reactors. After the successful completion of the pilot plant,
demonstrations at the site will be conducted by inviting the companies. A web-based live demo will be also
available for remote viewing.
This is one technology that does both reduce CO2 emission as well as produce hydrogen. The reactors are
of a flexible design such that the amount of products can be adjusted to market conditions. An investment in
CleanHydro Reactor Technology will result in a profitable and scalable business that will produce low-cost
and emission-free hydrogen, pervasively, through a modular approach, while at the same time sequester
carbon dioxide into safe and environmentally friendly byproducts that are in great demand in the industrial
marketplace. The reactor can use the reactions flexibly and produce hydrogen with or without carbonate or
carbonate and bicarbonate without hydrogen.

Investment Opportunity I: Pilot Plant
CleanHydro is raising an initial $3 million to complete the design and the assembly of a compact CleanHydro out-of-the-lab reactor (CleanHydro Pilot Plant) to demonstrate commercial application of the technology as the first step to an industrial sized system and a scalable business model.
Investment Opportunity II:
After the completion of the pilot plant project, and with an additional round of financing, CleanHydro will work
with the plant owner in assembling industrial size reactor systems at the customers site. The owner will
be responsible for all equipment and construction cost including the initial inventory of reactor inputs. The
average CleanHydro industrial system will produce approximately 13,000 tons of hydrogen annually with the
following financial results:
Industrial Size Reactor:
Reactor Cost: $28 Million (2 yr or less payback)
Gross Profit: $30,268,000 (annual sale of hydrogen, byproducts & carbon credits) Expenses: $ 3,500,000
maintenance $ 4,000,000 labor + burden $ 2,700,000 G&A and other;Annual EBITDA: $20,068,000.
This reactor may also be used flexibly for only carbonation with larger profit if hydrogen production is not
required or produce hydrogen only or only sequester carbon.

On a national scale, the United States generates 250 million tons of MSW annually, and after recycling, about
90 million tons, or 36%, is available as cellulosic material that could be used as a bioenergy feedstock. The
choke point in relation to taking advantage of this opportunity is the absence of a cost-effective, environmentally compliant process for recovering this cellulosic fraction from mixed MSW. CleanTech Biofuels (www.
cleantechbiofuels.net), a company based in St. Louis, MO, has made excellent progress in developing a
transformational technology that can overcome this hurdle.
We project that our cellulosic feedstock generated from MSW can be produced for zero to $20/ton (depending on tipping fee), compared to $40 to $70/ton for forestry and agricultural feedstocks. This represents a
dramatic reduction in feedstock cost, and the technology could play an enormous role in rapidly launching
the bioenergy industry (both cellulosic biofuels and biopower).
November 12 & 13, 2009

High cost ($40-$70/ton) and logistical challenges related to coordinating supply of distributed forestry and
agricultural feedstocks for production of cellulosic biofuels and biopower are major choke points for the entire
cellulosic bioenergy and biopower industry. The technology barriers that are causing the cost choke points
are inefficient production, harvesting, preprocessing, storage and hauling technologies associated with forestry and agricultural feedstocks.
At the MSW level, in cases where separation and recycling is done to recover biomass resources, it currently
is done by hand separation at the household and separate curbside pickup, or by hand after delivery to a
central point. Both options are extremely inefficient and costly, and the latter involves a very unhealthy, high
risk and unpleasant (due to odor) work environment for hundreds of low income laborers.
CleanTech Biofuels has acquired and improved a technology that accomplishes this goal in an efficient and
clean manner. The process involves loading bulk MSW into a rotating vessel in which the material is subject
to treatment with steam under moderately elevated temperature and pressure. Following relatively short
residence time, the contents of the vessel are removed and screened into the cellulosic fraction, plastics and
metals. The cellulosic product has a compost-like appearance, is sterilized, producing none of its original
odor, and is suitable for compression into pellets or briquettes, or direct delivery to facilities such as boilers,
gasifiers and liquid fuel production plants. Processing costs at a 1,000 tons of MSW per day plant are anticipated to be about $20/ton of MSW. Therefore, if tipping fees are above $20/ton (national average tipping
fee is ~$35/ton), the cellulosic material can be produced on site at negative cost. Projected capital costs for
a facility that will process 1,000 tons of MSW per day are ~$22 million.

We are seeking funds to develop projects using our technology. The amount required will vary upon project
size and the financing structure.

Coincident, Inc.

Company Overview
Coincident is a Massachusetts technology start-up that provides
advanced metering and energy management products/services for
consumers, small businesses, and utilities.
Product/Technology
Energy consumers need smarter devices and appliances to participate in new utility programs and achieve the financial and environmental benefits promised by smart metering initiatives. Unfortunately this new market is uniquely complex, and not particularly
well-suited for existing retail or utility business models.
The Coincident Intelligence Engine forms the basis for a new
type of online marketplace - one that brings together consumers,
utilities, manufacturers, and service providers to streamline the discovery, procurement, and installation of intelligent communicating
devices and appliances.

Coincident has also developed a product for residential and small business consumers - the Coincident
Energy Management Appliance. It provides an interoperable platform that seamlessly integrates smart
meters, programmable thermostats, and energy-aware communicating devices of differing technology standards. Its powerful software platform provides an intuitive, web-based interface that allows for secure realtime monitoring, management, and control via any web browser or smart phone.

Electric utilities and government entities will spend over 100 Billion US Dollars by 2015 to deploy smart meters to over 400 million homes and businesses worldwide. With these investments, utilities expect to achieve
operational efficiencies and the ability to implement dynamic pricing, demand response, and load management programs for their customers.
Leading utilities, industry professionals, and manufacturers have been working together for some time to develop standard protocols for connecting utility-owned advanced metering infrastructure to in-home networks
of consumer-owned appliances and devices. These groups understand resulting benefits for utilities and
consumers are not achievable unless open and interoperable products are available.
This market is typically classified as home-area networking (HAN). As evidenced by the number of competing standards, market entrants, and investment activity, this segment appears to be on-track to be a multibillion dollar opportunity within the next five years.
November 12 & 13, 2009

Our retail model is based on an intelligent engine that matches consumer information to utility capability
determining the devices and appliances that are operable on any particular network and making them available for purchase. Coincident profits from the sale of devices and appliances through retail markup, and
additionally profits by connecting consumers with energy professionals in their area that can assist with the
installation and configuration of these products and services.
The revenue model for the Coincident Energy Management Appliance is based a one-time product sale
coupled with a recurring monthly service fee. The product has been designed at a price point that provides
return on investment in less than 12 months.
Because of the need for utility integration, Coincident provides a free tool for utilities to help them connect
HAN-enabled devices to their networks and minimize customer service calls. It is expected that as the market matures there will also be an opportunity to offer an enterprise software product to utilities that assists
with management of these devices.
We believe there is a significant advantage in being the first company to create a successful retail marketplace for HAN-enabled products.
Our extensive market research, database of utility AMI programs, and experience with online commerce and
business-to-business systems allows us to quickly bring our solution to market and also provides us a sustained competitive advantage.
Complimenting our online marketplace is the Coincident Energy Management Appliance, which we believe
offers a number of differentiating features and capabilities:

Use of off-the-shelf hardware components and open source software frameworks allows us to
manufacture and produce a very low-cost product.
Modular, field upgradable design supports widest range of vendors, devices, appliances, and
protocols.
Innovative combination of hardware and software enables engaging features and presentation of real-time information via web browser or mobile handset.
We also believe that our inclusion of home energy auditors and retail electric providers in our go-to-market
model allows us to place more products in the hands of consumers than could be otherwise achieved by
selling only to utilities or through traditional retail channels.
Furthermore, our current leadership team collectively brings great start-up experience, financial and business development strengths, expertise in technology systems, and research-based insights into consumer
and human behavior.

Coincident is privately funded and finances ongoing product development through consulting and professional services engagements with utilities and technology companies. Currently we are seeking a first round
of external financing in the amount of 500,000 USD to put a dedicated team in place, accelerate our product
and online marketplace development efforts, and further develop our network of customers and partners.

A further two phases of development are required to get to commercial role out:
Phase 2 will complete design optimisation and deploy a scale protype in the sea and will take 2.5 years to
complete.
Phase 3 is will design and build a commercial scale demonstrator unit and undertake commercial development, consenting key areas of sea bed and establishing joint venture partnerships with utility companies in
Phase 3.
Product/Technology
The Technology is a buoyant, moored device capable of being deployed in waters of 40M depth or more with
simple, low cost vessels. It has very few moving parts - no trimming controls and a direct drive generator.
These features reduce the risk of mechanical failure and thereby increase its availability. It employs counter
rotating rotors, which enable the device to be deployed without the need of a rigid foundation. The device can
be recovered to be serviced onshore. The Cormarent technology provides a robust, reliable and simple tidal stream generator with a low life time cost of power.
Early tank trials and Computational Fluid Dynamic modeling
completed by Cormarent with the University of Plymouth and
industrial partners Gurit Limited and BMT Cordah Limited have
validated the core concept principles.
An artists impression of a Cormarent array is given below.

The UK tidal stream resource has been estimated to be 18 TWh/yr by the UK Carbon Trust. It represents
around 15 -20 % of the known global resource.
In the U.S.A. there is an estimated 14 - 20 TWh/yr of tidal stream capacity that could be economically exploited with a similar estimate for Canada. The world tidal stream resource has been estimated at between
between 90 and 120 TWh/yr. Exploiting the global resource would require in the order of 25,000 to 35,000
units with a nominal rating of 1 MW.
The value of equipment sales could exceed USD 60 billion.
The value of power sales in the UK alone could exceed USD 1.2 billion per annum.
Cormarent will develop the technology in parallel with a commercial development program. The aim is to
initiate the consenting of suitable sea areas to enable a smooth progression from Technical development to
commercial exploitation. Cormarent will seek to develop joint venture partners in the UK and USA for the development of these projects from the utility sector and renewable energy project development community.
Cormarent offers a combination of factors which make it unique:

Benefits of Cormarent
Simple = fewer breakdowns increased sales
Submerged = no storm damage and easier consenting
Buoyant = towed to shore for repair lower life-cycle costs
Moored = low cost installation & decommissioning
Effective = increased sales revenues

Cormarent is seeking investment and development partners for the completion of Phase 2 and Phase 3 of its
development program. Investment will be drawn down against key milestones.
Phase 2 will complete design optimisation and deploy a scale protype in the sea. The cost for Phase 2 is
estimated at USD 7 m and will take 2.5 years to complete.
Phase 3 is predicted to cost USD 11 m and will take 2 years to complete. It will design and build a commercial
scale demonstrator unit. Cormarent will also undertake the commercial development, consenting key areas
of sea bed and establishing joint venture partnerships with utility companies in Phase 3.

Electric Pipeline Corporation

Presented by:
Ron Todd, CTO and Director
Company Overview
Massive wind and solar energy farms arent being built because
the transmission lines to bring their power to market dont exist.
Without new transmission lines, wind and solar energy can make
only a small contribution to our energy economy. Overhead power
transmission lines are problematic both aesthetically and environmentally, and are virtually impossible to install in some corridors.
An underground transmission option with at least the transmission
capacity of the best state-of-the-art overhead line is needed. An
$85B/year market is anxious for a solution.

Electric Pipeline Corporation has patent-pending technologies that

solve this problem. We have developed methods to put very high
capacity non-superconducting high-voltage DC power lines into underground pipelines; similar to those that currently move natural
gas around the US. Key portions of our technologies address new
high-voltage insulators, joint reliability, and waste heat removal. We will offer substantially higher capacity
and lower cost than existing underground alternatives, and do not have the technology risks of the proposed
superconducting solutions.
EPC is in partnering talks with leading international power transmission companies, and has assembled a
world-class team of electric utility industry and technology advisers, led by a seasoned management team.
We are seeking $3.5M in A round funding to support a technology demonstration.
Product/Technology
Working through industry partners, EPC will subcontract and/or license the manufacture of high-power (10
GW and up), high voltage (800 kVDC) electric power transmission line components that install underground,
and are nearly invisible. Similar technology has already been field proven in the nation-wide network of
underground natural gas pipelines. Our patent-pending technologies address the technical and logistical
hurdles of reliably insulating very high DC voltages, transporting and installing massive conductors, waste
heat build-up in thick insulation, thermal expansion, and splice reliability; among others. By using proven
technology (in novel ways), such as very large conventional aluminum conductors instead of superconductors, we avoid the unnecessary risk and potential operational headaches of alternate approaches, and expect to achieve a compelling cost.
November 12 & 13, 2009


The current worldwide market for electric power transmission equipment is $85B/year, and growing. It is
a priority of the Obama administration to modernize the US power transmission infrastructure. Increased
transmission capacity is key to elevating the penetration of renewable power sources into the US grid, and
averaging out the intermittent production of wind and solar farms by combining their outputs with other farms
elsewhere in the country where the sun is shining or the wind is blowing. EPCs approach to this vast market
is through partnerships. EPC has already received a warm reception from several large, key, multi-national
companies that currently service this industry or stand to gain significantly by the success of EPCs approach. It is through these partnerships, enabled by EPCs technology base, that EPC has a viable way to
participate in this huge market.
Our initial market will be to provide underground transmission line segments on new high-voltage DC transmission links that are currently in planning, through regions that will not approve high-voltage overhead
powerlines. We have identified several such opportunities in the network upgrades planned by the New York
Power Authority and the Midwest ISO.
Moving large amounts of electricity (for several million homes) with overhead power lines requires numerous
gargantuan towers. Because they are unsightly and for environmental and safety concerns, it is nearly impossible to get new lines approved in populated and environmentally sensitive areas. It is impractical to send
AC power farther than a fraction of the width of the US (and much less if underground), and HVDC cables are
limited to a size small enough to fit on a reel that is truck transportable. Existing underground transmission
products are several times more expensive than EPCs solution, and dont scale to the larger sizes the US
will need in the future. EPCs solution is capable of scaling to very large capacities (>200 GW), while giving
a low loss (<5%), cost competitive way to move large amounts of power from coast to coast.

EPC is seeking a $3.5M A round investment to fund the development and lab-scale demonstration of its
technologies, and to cement its partnering activities.

Electric Truck, LLC

Presented by:
Peter Hughes, CTO
Company Overview
Electric Truck intends to design, prototype, test & license to transportation OEMs and/or their suppliers novel electromagnetic shock absorbers and supporting equipment that provide equal or superior ride characteristics while simultaneously recovering useful energy whenever the
vehicle is in motion. The company holds the exclusive worldwide rights
to US Patent # 6,952,060 B2 issued on October 4, 2005 entitled, Electromagnetic Linear Generator and Shock Absorber assignee: Trustees
of Tufts College. The shock absorber consists of magnets & coils optimally configured for transit applications including autos, trucks, trains
and ships. We are at the proof of concept phase and have attracted
interest from several of the major auto manufacturers.

Product / Technology
Shock absorbers based upon hydraulic and pneumatic technologies have been commonplace in transit applications for decades. The our electromagnetic shock absorber provides a direct replacement for conventional shocks in that it provides the same or better ride quality while at the same time recovering some of the
energy associated with the motion of traveling along a roadway. Elimination of problematic hydraulic shocks
will improve reliability and eliminate the environmental challenges of hydraulic fluid leaks.
In an electric / hybrid vehicle the electromagnetic shock will also act as a range extender by virtue of the energy recovered by the shock which will typically be directed to the battery pack. In conventional vehicles the
recovered energy can be used by the vehicle electrical loads and may provide for a reduction in component
capacities & costs.
The electromagnetic shock works very much like a linear motor/generator. It is based upon the concept of
moving a coil through a magnetic field resulting in current flow in the coil and voltage developed across the
coil . In our case the coils are arranged in a definitive configuration and are fixed. The toroidal magnets are
also oriented in a distinct manner / configuration and the motion is provided by the vibration and bumps as
the vehicle travels along the road surface. There are inner and outer coils and magnets configured in stacks
and the shocks interface with the vehicle attachment points exactly as conventional shocks. These shocks
can be scaled for use with autos, trucks, trains, subways and/or ships.
November 12 & 13, 2009

Markets & Applications

Approximately 75 million vehicles are produced globally each year which represents a minimum of 300 million
shock absorbers. At the automotive OEM level the market for shock absorbers is estimated to be $2-5 billion
annually. As vehicle weight and size increase the application of electromagnetic shock absorbers becomes
more advantageous and cost effective. Class 8 trucks are a primary target with energy recovery potential as
high as 8.9% expected. The North American Class 8 truck market exceeds 100,000 units per year.
We are currently adapting a ton pickup truck with prototype electromagnetic shocks as a proof of concept.
General Motors invited Electric Truck to partner with GM to develop this important shock technology through
a DOE funded grant for car & SUV applications. We are in discussions with several OEMs regarding other
applications & opportunities. At least one major transit authority has expressed interest in evaluating rail applications of this technology. Beyond the proof of concept / demonstration phase we expect to sub-license
our designs & technology to selected global shock manufacturers.
There are two known sources of hydraulically based energy recovery shock absorber technology. We believe that such hydraulic systems are less efficient and potentially less cost effective than an electromagnetic
shock absorber. The Electric Truck shocks require no maintenance and will last the life of the vehicle. The
electronics ( Power Conditioning Module ) associated with the electromagnetic shock will provide a superior
degree of active suspension control which provide for tailoring shock performance based upon the road conditions and vehicle characteristics ( loaded versus unloaded ).

Electric Truck is seeking a $3M funding commitment over a three year period to support operations, product
development, marketing, intellectual property expansion , prototyping & testing. The flow of investment capital will be milestone gated with an initial minimum round of $500K.

management is the fastest growing industry both in terms of jobs created and wages, with 78% growth projected through 2016. Our estimated market size is $10B/year. We have proprietary algorithms that convert the art of energy auditing and
management into a science and allow the computer to do the work, better, faster and cheaper than any person. Our team has a good mix of theoretical and practical experience in this space along with seasoned entrepreneurs in the IT space. We are looking for seed funding of up to $1M to bring our product to market.
Product/ Technology Profile

EEMAPs ability to create a building model and find optimal energy solutions within budget decreases the
experience needed and time needed for audit inspection and reporting. Benefit: 1) training new auditors becomes faster and easier, 2) labor costs decrease/time decreases much of analysis is done by the software,
3) making sense of results and next steps in solution implementation becomes a streamlined process for
consumers through an online portal, 4) access to software and online tools to start and run an auditing business decreases initial capital investment, 5) HERS and Energy Star certification offered online, 6) integration
with Smart Grid devices for ongoing monitoring of energy use that leads to control of energy consumption.

According to US Census Bureau statistics, the management, scientific, and technical consulting industry,
which includes the environmental and energy efficiency consulting field, is the fastest growing industry both
in terms of jobs created and wages, with 78% growth projected through 2016. The market segment we are
initially pursuing is energy auditing contractors hired by utility programs and auditors/aspiring auditors in
states/cities with government weatherization/efficiency programs and utility and/or state energy efficiency
incentives. With $5 billion allocated towards weatherization through ARRA; 1057 rebate, tax, loan and other
incentive programs through states and utilities to date; and market costs for audits averaging $400 (residential) and $10,000 (commercial); we estimate the gross residential and commercial markets to be $48 billion
and $47 billion respectively.
November 12 & 13, 2009

EEMAPs customers will be existing/aspiring energy auditors who execute residential and small-scale commercial energy audits. EEMAP will offer a software training course in order to grow its customer base, assuming the auditor will use EEMAP software for a fee after training. Because many aspiring auditors will come
from construction, engineering, and other technical as well as non-technical backgrounds, EEMAP will reach
its target customers through diverse channels: 1) online/print advertising targeted towards the construction,
energy, and green products and services industries, 2) partnerships with utilities offering subsidized audit
programs for which they seek contractors, 3)relationships with higher education institutions with engineering, environmental/sustainability, and urban development degree programs 4) partnerships and promotions
through employment centers and workforce development centers.
EEMAP provides a full service package to auditors that minimizes costs, speeds up the auditing process, and
simplifies training. Homeowners use the software post-audit to make sense of recommendations and quickly
implement solutions. The audit results are accurate and verifiable, and the reporting mechanism engages the
building owner in ongoing interaction through the web portal and, later, Smart Grid device management.

EEMAP is raising up to $1M for this round of funding to further develop its product and bring it to the marketplace in 2010. This software will make energy management a readily available and affordable service for
small commercial and residential building owners as well as create jobs nationwide. EEMAP plans to generate revenues of $100 million in 2015.

Product/Technology
Regional supermarket chains (300 stores) pay over $4M to dispose of 40,000 tons of food waste / year. With
States starting to ban food waste from landfills, supermarkets (1.46% profit margins) need and are looking
for disposal alternatives. Feed provides this alternative using a patented waste-to-energy process capable
of efficient converting packaged & unpackaged food waste into electricity and fertilizer. Providing customers
with a mechanism to unlock hidden value from a currently discarded raw material. Instead of $4M+ to get rid
of food they already purchased, Feed allows customers to turn this waste into enough electricity to power a
typical distribution center or manufacturing plant ($3.5M in electricity).
November 12 & 13, 2009


The U.S. generates 32 million tons of food waste per year. Traditional waste disposal providers get paid $2.4
billion to bury 97% of this waste in landfills where it releases a greenhouse gas that is 25 times more potent
than CO2. At an average all-in disposal cost of $80/ton and an average electricity price of $.09 kWh, this
represents a $4.5B market opportunity. As renewable energy, carbon and fertilizer markets continue to trend
toward the prices seen in Europe, our market could triple in the coming five years.
Feed partners with large supermarkets and food processors to create customized solutions for the costeffective management of food waste. Each of these customers has multiple locations where our solution can
be implemented. To increase customer adoption rates feed will develop a pay-toplay model by continuing
to focus efforts on increasing service revenue to provide customer same solution at a lower upfront costs.
We are deep in the sales pipeline with five of the top ten supermarket chains in the U.S., two of which have
already signed letters of commitment for projects located in Southern California & The Northeast.
Traditional waste service providers (i.e. Waste Management, Local Composters, etc...) and emerging biogas
technology providers are servicing or entering the market using centralized waste disposal practices. Rather
than compete with this collect, haul and landfill/process model feed utilizes the customers existing distribution network to collect and consolidate waste.
Due to odor pollution, wastewater generation and large square footage requirements compost & landfill operations are unable to locate facilities anywhere near waste generators. In Addition, composters and most
biogas technologies are unable to handle the highly-contaminated waste streams Feeds system was specifically designed to process.

Funds will support the development and completion of Feeds first full-scale commercial system, and the first
system of its kind in the US. A full-scale system allows Feed to prove the business model and technology. As
a result, senior debt becomes a viable alternative for system financing. This quickly increases the capital pool
and customer base for additional systems. Funds will directly support the implementation and improvement
of our core technology. Specifically, use of funds will include: working capital, project development, technology development, patents and value engineering

Free Flow Power Corporation

Presented by:

Company Overview
Free Flow Power is an experienced multi-disciplinary team with the
mission to grow hydropower, the most proven and cost-effective form
of renewable energy, though environmentally sensitive methods. With
its integrated approach to engineering, licensing, and financing, FFP is
uniquely positioned to lead the industry as hydro grows from 7% to a
projected 20% of US energy generation. FFPs three-stage business
strategy involves generating near-term revenue and long-term growth
potential by: i) acquiring, improving, and managing existing hydro assets; ii) developing hydro on existing non-hydro dams; and iii) developing hydrokinetics to harness the flow of rivers and oceans to generate
electricity without constructing new dams.

FFP is the USs largest developer of hydrokinetic projects, including a

cluster of 55 sites on the Mississippi River that are in the environmental
study phase and have the capacity to generate over 1,000 MW. FFP
has developed and is manufacturing the second generation of its fishfriendly SmarTurbine hydrokinetic generator system, the first generation of which has undergone tank-based and live-river testing. FFP recently was awarded a DOE Advanced
Waterpower grant for a hydrokinetic demonstration project, and we are seeking to raise additional funds from
institutional investors at the corporate level and for specific hydro asset acquisitions.
Product/Technology
The FFP SmarTurbine hydrokinetic generator is a rim-driven ducted system with a single moving part.
It is designed to be part of an integrated system which includes cost-effective approaches to installation,
maintenance and power conversion and which emphasizes mass production and large-scale deployment.
The design is applicable to a wide range of environments including flows that are unidirectional (rivers and
currents) and bi-directional (ocean tides), and to conduits and canals. FFP is developing over 55 Mississippi
River hydrokinetic projects for which the SmarTurbine will be the exclusive licensed technology.
November 12 & 13, 2009


Hydropower is the most proven and cost-effective form of renewable energy, and it once accounted for
40% of US energy generation. Hydropower has not grown in recent decades due to lack of incentives and
concerns about the environment effects of building dams. However, recent policy changes have positioned
hydropower to grow, by some estimates, from 7% to over 20% of the US energy market, without creating
negative environmental consequences.
Important legislative changes include the recognition (in 2005 and 2008) of new hydro on existing dams and
hydrokinetics as renewable energy eligible for a 1 production tax credit, passage of a 30% investment tax
credit (in 2009) putting hydro on par with other renewable energy sources, and regulatory reforms that permit
efficient licensing of hydro projects by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
To capitalize on the projected growth in hydropower, FFP is focused on three areas: i) optimizing output at
existing hydro facilities, many of which are underperforming significantly; ii) developing new hydro facilities
on existing dams, 97% of which currently do not generate electricity; and iii) facilitating mass production of
FFPs SmarTurbine and achieving economies of scale by developing 1,000 MW of hydrokinetic projects in
the Mississippi River, for which FFP has obtained permits and exclusive priority to file license applications.
FFP is the only company in the hydro industry to integrate core competencies in financing, regulatory processes, and engineering, while disintermediating consultants whose interests are not aligned with cost-effective management of projects or licensing. FFPs diversified approach to capitalizing on growth in hydropower
provides for near-term revenue generation through management of existing facilities, minimizes risk by utilizing proven technologies and investing in reliable assets, and creates long-term growth potential through
efficient licensing and development of hydrokinetics and qualified hydro projects.

FFP is currently raising $5 million through sale of equity and grant funding to fund its operations through
the end of 2010. We project a total raise of $25 million will fund operations through licensing in 2012, after
which we will finance projects through tax-investor flip structures. We are in discussions with private equity
firms regarding acquisition of up to $1 billion in revenue-generating hydro assets that will generate excellent
returns in the near term and which may reduce the amount of FFP equity to be sold.

Future Solar provides rapidly installed roof and ground mount PV systems to a range of key markets, and will sell specialty components and
mounting systems to other installers at competitive prices. Future Solar is positioned to competitively address a host of under-served markets by employing their unique business approach, combining optimum buying power and utilizing a network
of proven industry contractors, with unique pre-engineered assemblies, and the ability to efficiently develop
customer relationships and project commitments, and arrange project financing. FSS offers investors an
extremely attractive ROI, with an easy to ramp business in a relatively untapped growth market.
Technology/ Products
Future Solar is developing several novel ways to dramatically reduce the cost of large solar systems with preengineered arrays of PV modules, for rapid integration on rooftops, carports, and ground mounts, reducing
labor costs by over 50%, and optimizing the installation of large, 100-1500KW systems. Future Solar is also
developing a proprietary new Totally Integrated 3-5KW Solar System which can be rapidly installed as both a
standalone system, like for carports, or as a Mega-Module in large All-AC systems. This systems approach
will optimize the maximum power produced by each individual panel, providing the maximum overall power
without using micro-inverters on each panel. Over time, Future Solar will sell these items to other installers
and integrators, enhancing their total revenue and providing larger economies of scale.

The worldwide solar electric industry has seen exponential growth over the last ten years, fueled largely by
attractive incentive programs in Europe and Japan. During 2005-2008, a shortage of Silicon and bottlenecks
in the solar value chain limited production and availability of PV modules while demand throughout Europe
and the US saw rapid increase, benefitting sellers of both poly-silicon and other solar modules. However,

dustry, due to a major oversupply of PV panels and insufficient financing to complete a host of large projects
in Spain and Italy. These key market dynamics have quickly transitioned the Solar PV manufacturing industry to a buyers market from being a sellers market. In fact, the market has not proven elastic enough to
absorb the huge oversupply, creating a major buying opportunity for both the project installer and third party
investor. Based upon projections of leading analysts, the cost of PV panels could drop so low next year, that
the key system cost driver will become the installed labor cost, which up until this time has only represented
15-20% of the total PV systems cost. This reduced pricing of key components, combined with the new US
Investment Tax Credit program and numerous state incentives and rebates, offer a very strategic opportunity
for companies like Future Solar to capitalize on this lucrative market opportunity. This market scenario provides our investors an unusually strong and secure opportunity, with high margins and solid ongoing profits,
and minimal risk.
Future Solars business model includes Sale of components, Installation of total systems, and Ownership
of all or a portion of LLCs under Power Purchase Agreements. Future Solar creates a new LLC for each
project, that owns the system and sells electricity produced under a PPA or Shared savings plan, with a
predictable future revenue stream. These LLCs offer Future Solars investors the immediate benefit of the
Federal ITC and Accelerated Depreciation, and long-term stable returns from the sale of Renewable Energy
Certificates, (RECs), and green electricity. Future Solar utilizes both federal and state grants/tax credits
and RECs for leveraged ownership in PV system assets, significantly enhancing the return profile for Future
Solar, their customers, and investors. Further revenue benefits and increased profits will be afforded by
Future Solars proprietary new pre-engineered arrays, which eliminate over 75% of the expensive rooftop
labor costs, reducing typical Total Project installation labor costs by over 50%, using lower cost off-site labor
in automated pre-assembly facilities, (with small increase in delivery/onsite equipment cost).
Future Solars business strategy offers a number of key advantages, including efficient marketing, selling,
site assessment, design, and contract efforts. Future Solar purchases all major components at low contract
prices through strategic supply relationships. Future Solar is technology agnostic, but outsources the installation and system maintenance to certified installers and electrical contractors. Future Solar is able to efficiently run their business with a minimal staff, while leveraging solid buying power, and special contractor
outsourcing, and the use of our proprietary products and pre-engineered assemblies.

Future Solar is seeking $2.5M in Series A equity capital, to launch and execute over $10M in pending PV
projects, growing to over $35M in project execution in 2010, and over $75M in project revenue in 2011. Future Solar also offers investors a series of LLC project opportunities, for investment and ownership of individual PV systems, on a case by case basis. These offer lucrative returns for the first 3 years, with attractive
ongoing ROIs for another 8 years. Future Solar has the plans, resources, technology, and partnerships to
take advantage of the recent drop in PV panel prices, with a novel way to dramatically reduce the overall total
cost of PV system installations, making us extremely competitive and more profitable, as the US PV industry
experiences rapid expansion over the next 5-10 years.

Grid Solutions has developed a low cost residential demand response

solution for a small utility, Vineyard Power, on the island of Marthas
Vineyard, MA. Vineyard Power, a community-owned renewable energy utility, will be producing large scale
renewable energy from off-shore wind turbines. They plan to promote PHEVs as the transportation vehicle
of choice to allow the co-op storage capacity when the turbines are generating electricity at night. They are
implementing a network that will support their requirement to balance the electrical load during the course of
the day. Unlike many proposed Home Area Networks (HAN) for residential demand response that engage
the consumer in reducing their use of electricity, Grid Solutions developed a system that integrates key
source information (spot price of electricity, the amount of electricity being generated by their wind turbines,
aggregate load for its members) to a rules engine to generate automated commands to shed load or to store
energy. At a conservative 5% savings, residential DR equates to $1 biillion in savings per year, a present
value of nearly $12 billion over the next two decades, in the US alone.
EnerNOC and Comverge have been the only players to date concentrating on commercial/industrial demand
response. With GE and Whirlpools release of smart appliances beginning November 2009, the infrastructure
will be available to implement residential DR.
Product/Technology
Residential Demand Response This is a platform based Demand-Response (DR) solution with a highly
scalable functionality. Supports unlimited number of information sources to dynamically manage performance
as well as create settlement transactions. The system allows n number of rules and conditions as transaction
parameters. Open APIs for extensibility, interfacing and integration
CurrentViews - Online information portal for ratepayers to access real-time information about their energy
consumption and for utility administrators to access realtime aggregate usage and renewable generation
from sun and wind. A simple user interface allows users to drill down to more detail.
Both applications are wrapped in a data security layer to allow management and control of data between the
consumer premises and the utility office. This allows the utility to set up a communication system that utilizes
the public commercial networks like cable or wireless or WiMax networks etc. to send and receive data securely eliminating the need for a private dedicated network.

Demand Response during periods of peak energy demand is a clean, cheap and fast method to match supply. Simply put, it is the practice of shutting off or turning down non-essential devices in the home, campus
or business during times of peak demand. Demand Response is a critical piece of the US effort to reduce
energy consumption.
While the smart home has been an exciting proposition (for early adopters/futurists) for decades, what is different now is that for the first time an infrastructure is being deployed to support communications between
the end-user and the utility. This is an important change..
The Smart Grid market has been projected to be substantial:

$1.3 billion in VC funds have been invested between 2005 -2009

US government has budgeted $3.4 billion in smart grid investment to be released later this
year.
EPRI (Electric Power Research Institute) estimates a $165 billion investment in US over next
two decades ($8 billion/year)
Demand response market will quadruple over the next five years
Electric utilities domestic and foreign
Partnerships with smart grid solution providers
Grid Solutions has developed a residential demand response solution intended for the utility. Other solutions
assume the acceptance and participation of each customer.
We are the pioneering vendor in offering a hybrid solution intended for the electric utility. First implementation
will be Q1 2010 for Vineyard Power.

GroundedPowers primary markets are reached through utility company efficiency and demand response
programs for residential, small commercial and municipal customers. These markets had been growing at
an average rate of 20 percent per year in recent years with total spending in 2008 approaching $4 billion.
Stimulus grants for smart grid/smart meter initiatives, block grants to states and weatherization programs
are accelerating program spending, as are carbon credit auctions in the Northeast and the development of
Forward Capacity Markets.
GroundedPowers primary target customers are utilities, both investor and publicly owned, large and small,
that are required to conduct energy efficiency and demand response programs funded through either approved System Benefit Charges or through rates. The utility incorporates GroundedPowers technology
into efficiency program offerings to its end-use customers. Marketing is through direct contact with utility
executives and program managers with parallel outreach to regulators and policy makers charged with and
interested in energy efficiency program effectiveness.
Technologies seen as competing include in-house displays and plug monitors, monthly presentment of billing
information either by mail or web, and home automation. Pilot programs have generally demonstrated a lack
of persistent savings and levels of savings well below anticipated potential. GroundedPowers technology
motivates, engages and empowers consumers through a web portal that incorporates and integrates principles of behavior unlike any other product of which GP is aware. The GP technology also incorporates a
measurement and verification function, which provides utilities and regulators with real-time data on energy
savings and how those savings are achieved.

GroundedPower is currently raising a $1 million seed round with funds dedicated primarily to product development. The company anticipates an institutional round of $2 million to $5 million in early 2010 for full-scale
rollout. Approximately 80% of funds will be allocated to product development and refinement and 20% to
business development.

Heavy Lift Systems

Company Overview
Contact Information
Large-scale wind turbine construction and maintenance are ex110 Pulpit Hill Road
periencing rapid expansion, conservatively estimated at 400% in
Amherst MA 01002
the next 10 years. However, high cost and logistical constraints
413-549-1321
of ground-based mobile cranes have created a critical [email protected]
point on this emerging market. Heavy Lift Systems addresses
this need with an entirely new type of crane that harnesses the
buoyant lifting power of hot air. Our system combines age-old
technology with patent-pending innovations to give the wind power industry the lifting power it needs with
more rapid deployment, a far smaller infrastructure footprint, and a cost savings factor of 2-4 over current
service providers. We have completed our prototype R&D and are now seeking private equity investment to
fund our product development and market entry.
Product/Technology
Heavy Lift Systems has developed the Tethered Aerostat Crane (TAC). Applying research results in areas of
aerodynamics, materials, and control technologies, the TAC uses the lifting power of heated air to lift heavy
loads to great heights in remote locations. The TAC incorporates several patent-pending innovations that
provide it with unmatched operational control and ease of deployment. By using a TAC rather than a conventional ground-based crane, wind power companies can build and maintain wind turbines at lower cost,
without specialized access roads, and in otherwise inaccessible locations.

The U.S. Department of Energy is pursuing a plan to provide 20% of the countrys electricity needs via wind
power by 2030. This will require constructing between 60,000 and 100,000 new large-scale turbines. The
market for cranes to support new turbine construction is currently $250 million per year and will grow to
$1.1 billion per year within 10 years. In addition to the new construction market, the growing installed base
of large turbines is creating an expanding market for cranes to support turbine operation and maintenance
(O&M). At present, the heavy lift O&M market is $80 million per year and is estimated conservatively to grow
to $400 million per year within 10 years. The figures above represent just the U.S. demand. Overseas opportunities are even larger.
November 12 & 13, 2009

For the O&M market, our target customers include turbine manufactures to support maintenance of turbines
under warranty. For turbines out of warranty, our customers will be turbine maintenance companies and the
owners of large wind farms. For the new construction market, our target customers include general contractors and crane owners and operators.
Conventional cranes require 15 to 20 tractor-trailer rigs to haul their components between job sites, as well
as days of work by large crews to assemble and disassemble these components. The TAC can be deployed
much more readily for lifts to essentially unlimited heights at difficult-to-reach locations. As a result, overall
operating costs are significantly lower (factor 2-4) than those for conventional cranes,
Double-width roads are required for conventional cranes to move around large job sites. These specialized
roads limit turbine location options, increase negative environmental impacts, and can add millions of dollars
to overall project cost. In contrast, the TAC can be transported in a single shipping container and requires
minimal on-site configuration. The TACs lower capital cost makes pre-deployment at large wind farms a
practical option.

We have completed our prototype R&D and filed for four key patents. We now seek private equity to complete
TAC product development and entry into the turbine O&M market within 18 months of funding. Milestones
for our next phase will include:

Product Development
-- Design, engineering, and first article manufacturing
-- Field trials and design refinement
-- Initial operational deployments
-- Identification of strategic partners for field trials, sales, and licensing
-- Development of cost models and service metrics
-- Final development of next-phase and longer-term business plans (i.e., the new construction market)
-- Initial sales and product delivery
-- Capitalization of the company for growth

Product/ Technology
The SolarPolar Module is an absorption refrigeration system. The system converts thermal energy to cooling directly in the range of temperatures achievable by available solar collectors. The SPM is low cost, uses
widely available materials, and is easily manufactured. The SPM has no moving parts and uses no electricity.
It is very reliable and will work without maintenance for many decades while using a widely available refrigerant as its heat transfer medium. The SPM provides very low cost per watt cooling with no carbon emissions,
is ideally suited for off-grid cooling and refrigeration needs and can also be integrated into existing forced-air
cooling systems.

A quarter of the worlds population has no access to refrigeration for food or medication (e.g. India loses over
50% of its food crops before they reach their destination). There are also over 65 million installed central
cooling residential systems and millions of non-mall commercial cooling and refrigeration units in the US
alone, using over 444 billion kWhs of electricity a year, accounting for over $40 billion in expenditures each
year, representing 12% of annual electricity use in the US. Solar-Polar can address the needs of these markets at an attractive price, reducing electricity expenditures for cooling/refrigeration.
November 12 & 13, 2009

We intend to introduce the SolarPolar Module for use in off-grid applications, as well as pursue the commercial and insitutional air-conditioning market by developing partnerships with existing renewable energy
installers and distributors. We have established initial relationships with distribution partners for commercial
rollout once the SolarPolar Module is ready for deployment. The company will also work with regional utilities
and ESCOs during the SPM pilot program.
The SolarPolar Module has two primary competitive advantages: 1) it is designed as a modular system and
as such can be easily matched to customer needs; and 2) our product design uses widely available components for manufacture, thus ensuring low cost per watt of installed capacity. The SolarPolar Module uses no
fuel, has negligible maintenance needs, and will be sold at attractive prices. Cost of ownership will be lower
than that of conventional cooling/refrigeration units. The SPM will be made with widely available materials
and will not need specialized manufacturing equipment.

The SolarPolar Module is in the working prototype stage. A functional prototype has been built and tested. A
commercial quality module has been designed and suppliers have been identified. We are now working to
secure funding for the manufacture of several commercial quality units for long term testing. The company is
seeking $1,000,000 for continued product development and commercial scale test deployment of the SPM.

producing electrical power cost-effectively. Wind turbines are limited to
harvesting near-ground winds by the height of their towers a few hundred feet at most making them cost-effective on only a small fraction
of our planet. Energy Gliders are cost-effective for at least three times more locations on earth.
Highest Wind Energy Gliders produce more than $13,000 worth of electricity annually (130,000+ kWh at
$0.10/kWh). Designed for the largest 200,000 farms in the 45 US states with winds too low for wind turbines,
Energy Gliders provide a payback in less than seven years with average 30 foot winds of just 8mph. Renewable energy incentive programs in our target states reduce that payback to less than three years. For
farms throughout the US, the USDAs REAP program reduces payback by at least two more years making
Energy Glider purchases possible in some states with no cash out-of-pocket and $13,000+/year of free
electricity every year thereafter.
Similar to a childs kite, patent pending Energy Gliders fly - rising and descending - a thousand feet above
the ground (but below FAA controlled airspace) pulling a high-strength tether to spin a generator on the
ground. Energy Glider systems run continuously and automatically to provide a capacity factor of greater
than 50% at a levelized cost of energy of less than five cents per kWh nearly as low as the largest utilityscale wind turbines and many times lower than the best and lowest cost solar PV systems. Our first 30kW
production unit will produce more than 130,000 kWh at sites with avg. 30ft. winds of just 8mph for a lifetime of
30 years, providing more than half the electricity needs of the average US farm. With an operational requirement of more than 160 acres of land, NIMBY is a minimal concern.
November 12 & 13, 2009


Our Initial market is the 200,000 largest farms in the 45 US states with winds too low to make wind turbines
cost effective - a $14B market. Early marketing and dealer efforts are focused on the top seven states with
the best combination of high electricity prices, suitable winds, and the best renewable energy incentive programs. Initial marketing efforts are specifically targeting the largest dairy farms in those states. While they
comprise only a $290M market, with the current unsustainable market price for milk, they are eager for any
product that can reduce their costs and/or provide an additional revenue source. Our market research has
yet to find a dairy farm unwilling to purchase an Energy Glider.
Energy Gliders will be sold through existing networks of regional dealers currently selling agricultural or energy generation equipment, all with established relationships among our most likely prospects farms. From
a self-marketing perspective, Energy Gliders are nearly perfect visible from miles around, we anticipate
considerable word-of-mouth marketing spreading virally from each successful installation. Our marketing efforts will be primarily product-marketing, helping our dealers identify and sell to our most likely prospects in
a variety of farming verticals. Broad marketing will be mostly PR-based riding the Green wave.
Highest Wind has discovered a blue-ocean market wind power for low-wind locations that is currently
unfulfilled by any other products. Wind turbines provide payback periods of longer than a decade in these
low-wind areas. Solar PV have even longer paybacks. Anaerobic digesters have an entry price fifteen times
higher. For any type of farm seeking distributed renewable energy, nothing else works in as many locations
so cost-effectively. Four other companies are publicly developing related Airborne Wind Energy (AWE) technology but all are targeting utility scale applications 1Mw or greater. No other AWE developers are designing distributed renewable energy generation systems to serve the agricultural market.

Our past year of research has been supported primarily by more than $100k of investment from friends. Our
next two years of development and certification testing will be supported by the $5M in series-A investment
we now seek. That money will allow us to build the channel, marketing and service organization we require
before shipping the first production Energy Glider units by Q3-2011. Highest Wind LLC will remain a design,
marketing, sales and service organization our management teams strengths. We are outsourcing engineering and eventually manufacturing to our highly qualified partner organizations - Goss International and
EOS Research.

Our initial focus is on the $3B food and beverage processing market. We are currently working with an industry leading company to scale and commercialize our system. Our route to market is both direct and through
strategic channels including water technology companies, energy consulting and engineering firms.
Hy-SyEnce seeks to close $1.5M round (including customer funding) in Q4 to prove next stage, and anticipates an A Round of $6-8M in Q3 2010 to scale and go to market in 2011.
Microbial Fuel Cells ( MFCs) are a promising next generation technology that leverage a natural process
where bacterium consume nutrients resident in wastewater to reduce pollution levels (Biological Oxygen Demand/Chemical Oxygen Demand), generate clean energy in the form of electricity or hydrogen, and inhibit
methane, a greenhouse gas more damaging than CO2.

Target wastewater treatment markets include food and beverage processors, agricultural products, wood
paper and pulp manufacturers, and municipal water systems which comprise a market > than $15B.
November 12 & 13, 2009

Initially, we will focus on the $3B food and beverage processing market. Capturing 5% of this market alone
creates a company with $150M+ in revenue.
Hy-Syence is focused on solving an immediate customer/target market issue; the reduction of organic content in wastewater. Our target market views the generation of clean energy as an added bonus. The majority
of our competitors are focused primarily on the generation of clean energy.
The company is consistently reducing organic content levels by 85-92% in the lab, which is consistent with
industry needs. To our knowledge, our competitors have not yet achieved these levels. On the basis of these
certified results, we have a customer willing to help fund a demonstration module on their manufacturing site
as the next step in the scaling process.
Hy-SyEnce has applied for patent protection on its core system technology and configuration which squarely
addresses the key impediment to scaling.
Hy-SyEnce seeks first mover advantage over its direct competitors Emefcy (Israel), Trophos (Somerville,
MA), and IntAct Labs (Cambridge, MA), all early stage companies that have received some funding and are
attempting to scale their respective technologies for various markets.

Hy-SyEnce seeks to close $1.5M round (including customer funding) in Q4 2009 to prove next stage by Q3
2010. This includes the build and test of a demo and system array on our customers site. Hy-SyEnce anticipates an A Round of $6-8M in Q3 2010 to complete scaling, and to go to market in 2011.

KGRA Energy, LLC

Presented by:
Jason Gold, CEO
Company Overview
KGRA develops modular, scalable geothermal power plants. The
Company is unique from traditional geothermal developers because
it avoids the costs and risks associated with exploration and well drilling by using existing wells and infrastructure of the oil and gas industry.
KGRAs facilities harness the thermal energy from the fluids found in
known hydrocarbon wells to generate and sell clean, renewable electricity at a lower price than the local utility. The Companys business
model is to build, own and operate these power plants and sell electricity to oil and gas operators under long-term fixed-price contracts
which lower their energy costs while maintaining its own operating
margins around 80%.
The market for producing geothermal electricity from oil and gas wells
has been estimated to be between 5-10 thousand megawatts in the
US alone and a multiple of that figure internationally.
Headed by a team of energy professionals, KGRA has a significant
first mover advantage. Moreover, the Companys patent portfolio
covers the application of some existing, field-proven equipment for
use in generating electricity from these hot oilfield waters.

KGRA is seeking roughly $4 million in development capital and a range of funding amounts for project debt
and equity.
KGRA develops highly repeatable, scalable, modular geothermal power plants that can be adapted to the
specifics of a hydrocarbon project site.
The Companys value proposition includes:

Extending the life of a hydrocarbon resource by lowering the energy costs of a well operator.
KGRA supplies clean, renewable energy that is cheaper than utility-sourced, fossil-fuel based
electricity improving the economics of a producing hydrocarbon site
Providing a renewable source of baseload power to these operators. Unlike wind and solar
energy, geothermal energy can provide a constant supply of electricity at a predictable price
Offering a zero-emissions energy solution that allows well operators to reduce their carbon
footprint
November 12 & 13, 2009


Using 285F as a nominal temperature, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory estimates a potential
of 7,585 MW of geothermal power to be harvested from existing domestic oil and gas sites within Alabama,
Arkansas, California, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Texas. Based on the little activity which
has transpired thus far within this niche, the market for extracting geothermal energy from hydrocarbon resources has barely been scratched.
Oil and gas operators, wich are KGRAs target customers, have been very receptive to the Companys energy solution because of its ability to extend the life of hydrocarbon sites. Electricity costs have historically
been one of the largest operating expenses in the production of oil and gas. Moreover, this cost tends to increase as wells age. As hydrocarbons are extracted, pressure within a well decreases, creating the need for
methods to enhance recovery. While they improve productivity, these methods consume an ever-increasing
amount of electricity until energy demands become so significant that production is no longer economical
and the well needs to be shut down. Power costs often represent 21% of total production expenses. By
replacing expensive, utility-sourced, fossil-fuel generated electricity with cheaper, renewable, geothermal
energy, KGRAs energy solution makes hydrocarbon recovery more economical and thereby increases the
life of these wells.
KGRA obtains customers by:

Obtaining electronic data used to screen for hydrocarbon wells where conditions exist for
economical energy production
Forming partnerships with organizations within the oil and gas industry for co-selling and siteidentification purposes
Aggressively hiring business development staff with contacts in the oil and gas industry.
Aspects of KGRAs business plan that lead to its defensibility include:

KGRA has a first-mover advantage

Exclusive distribution territories for the equipment (negotiated with equipment supplier)
A method of use patent application on file with the US Patent Office
Ability to monetize tax credits to reduce the net cost of equipment
Repetitive, modular power plant design that allows for rapid and scalable deployment
Scale/volume purchase
Full turn-key solution

KGRA seeks $7 million of which $4 million will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes
and $3 million will be used in the development of its first project. The amount of project funding that the
Company seeks, however, is flexible; KGRA has the project pipeline to deploy up to $100 million.

collection service levels beyond competitors capabilities and providing
the maximum compensation for WVO to our supply customers. Rory
Gaunt, CEO brings strong business development and logistics acumen
to this proven technology created by Adrian Venni. The first power installation is to be commercially operational at Whole Foods Market in Everett MA. LR has contracted with many supply customers such as Simon
Properties, Boston Properties, Hyatt, Norwegian Cruise Lines, Chilis, Northeastern University, Mt. Auburn
Hospital and many more.
LR refines WVO into a 100% vegetable oil fuel. LR installs and operates large scale combined heat and
power systems that reside at customer locations and run on LRs proprietary fuel. This proprietary fuel is
primarily comprised of the customers waste vegetable oil.

LR plays in two markets. First, the WVO supply market is 474 million gallons in the US. Secondly, the energy market (electricity and No. 2 Diesel) is vast relative to the WVO supply market. Scarcity, for LR, is only
found in the WVO supply market.
The target customer for LR is a large hospitality business that produces 1000 gallons or more of WVO per
week and has significant electricity demand and is located in an area with high electricity costs. Examples of
this target are in our current customer roster: Whole Foods Market, Simon Properties, Chilis We market
our collection and energy services through direct sales at C level.
November 12 & 13, 2009

Our sustainable competitive advantage:

We produce energy with WVO for the volatile petroleum market but also the more stable electricity market. This means that we are able to choose our sales channel depending on market
dynamics.
Our proprietary fuel is produced through a low-cost mechanical process.
We utilize a remote volume sensing technology that enables us to see capacity in the field
real-time. Therefore we can operate at industry dominating efficiencies.
These advantages enable us to compensate supply customers at higher levels than the competition. We are
considered the greenest use for this waste. High levels of compensation plus our green credentials means
we win supply business.

LR seeks to raise $750,000 in investor capital that comes with the depth of experience necessary to guide
the company to a successful exit in year 5 of the strategic plan. Funding to date has been provided from
Lifecycle Renewables Ltd., a UK company, and through revenues.

in areas with wind speeds as low as Class 2, dramatically increasing
the size of the available US and international markets. At the price
Optiwind is targeting, NREL estimates the market potential to be over
200k US sites, with the US representing 21% of the current global wind energy market. Optiwind is in the
process of installing its first 150kW turbine in Connecticut and will use its next round of funding (Series B) for
manufacturing and commercialization.
Optiwind has developed mid-sized distributed generation wind turbines that are customized for the commercial marketplace. At 150kW and 300kW, the turbines are built around a silo structure that causes the
prevailing wind to accelerate into a series of smaller 5-bladed fans mounted on the side of the structure.
This makes for a fundamentally quieter, more compact turbine that is installed and maintained without the
expense of a large crane, making it possible to produce electricity at grid competitive prices in wind speeds
as low as Class 2.

NREL estimates the US mid-sized wind turbine market potential to be up to 204,000 sites. The US represents
21% of the current global wind energy market. 53% of the US is in areas that can potentially produce wind
power (defined as areas with Class 2 or better wind speed), and of this nearly half (43%) is in Class 2 wind.
Conventional 3-bladed/monopole turbines typically require at least Class 3 wind to produce a reasonable
ROI, thereby significantly reducing their mid-sized market potential. Optiwinds design now makes these
Class 2 areas viable, representing a dramatic increase in the available market size.
November 12 & 13, 2009

While there is broad application potential for turbines of this size by customers spending $25k to $500k per
year on electricity, Optiwinds initial target markets will be manufacturing, schools, and big box retail. Each
provides the potential for appropriate electricity usage, available land and the ability to finance the turbine.
The marketing mix for each of these target markets will include an integrated combination of online, print,
direct and event communications. PR will be more broadly used to build brand and category awareness.
Optiwind will launch initially in the northeastern US and then systematically expand into new regions, both
domestically and internationally.
The conventional 3-bladed/monopole turbine was designed for multi-unit wind farm installation and is currently not cost competitive with the grid when installed individually (at $4-$5/watt). With significant cost advantages achieved through reduced installation, blade and maintenance costs, Optiwind expects to launch
at below current market pricing, with a clearly defined path to achieve $2/watt, making its single distributed
turbine cost comparable with industrial wind farm turbines. There are several other companies actively
pursuing wind acceleration based distributed technologies, however, Optiwind expects to be the first to commercialize this advance behind a strong patent portfolio.

Optiwind expects to raise a Series B round of $15-$25 million in the first half of 2010. These funds will be
used for manufacturing and commercialization, with a target launch date of early 2011.

Porous Power Technologies, LLC

Company Overview
A New Lithium-Ion Battery Paradigm:
The patent-pending SYMMETRIX production process from Porous
Power Technologies (PPT) will revolutionize the production of lithium
ion batteries by eliminating their most expensive component electrode
separator membranes now universally used while improving their
performance and safety. SYMMETRIX will enable cell manufacturers
to hit aggressive industry-specified cost targets for Electric Drive Vehicle (EDV) batteries that are unreachable with competitors expensive
roll goods. PPTs simple in-house coating equipment will form highly
porous separator films in-situ directly on electrodes, simplifying subsequent QC and assembly steps to improve yields and further reduce
costs. The process requires little or no change to existing equipment
and processes. PPT and our distribution partners will also continue to
sell SYMMETRIX in rolls.

PPTs opportunity is timely. With over $40K in product revenues, PPT

is working with most domestic lithium-ion cell manufacturers. They are
now literally budgeting and spending billions of dollars on facilities and equipment to produce large lithiumion batteries for emerging EDVs (electric, hybrid-electric and plug-in hybrids, four- and two-wheelers, aircraft
and watercraft). Deutsche Bank predicts lithium-ion cell sales just for autos could reach $15B by 2010, and
SYMMETRIX could save producers over $1B/year by 2014. PPT sales and license revenues are projected
to exceed $40M in 2012.
Three of PPTs management team are founders or cofounders of multiple successful startups (including an
IPO and strategic acquisition). PPTs managers and board have deep experience in lithium-ion battery and
separator markets, including in top management at PPTs biggest U.S. competitor.
The benefits of highly porous SYMMETRIX separators have been proven in thousands of cells. Over twenty evaluation programs are active or pending. SYMMETRIX enables light-weight, large-format cells in foil
pouches that last longer, charge faster, stack easier, run cooler, are safer and cost less. Lithium-ion cell manufacturers can double or triple high-power capacity, reduce capacity fade by up to 50% (like-new capacity for
twice as many charges, critical for EDVs) and pump out 3-8X
more energy at low temperatures. Efficient operation reduces
heat buildup and has been shown to prevent fires caused by
overcharging/shorting. 14 patent applications have been filed,
and core patents are expected to be published soon.

Lithium-ion cell sales are projected to grow to $29B by 2014,
with most growth coming from high-power and large-format
cells. This emerging market segment is especially appealing
since the need for improved production equipment from domestic suppliers not associated with Asian competitors is especially strong. The entire segment is addressable by PPT,
November 12 & 13, 2009

with separator sales projected to grow at a 58% annual rate to $1.1B by 2014. Most of the separator market
for low-power cells is expected to be addressable by PPT as well.
Many additional future sales opportunities exist for PPTs versatile and unique membranes, including in other
battery chemistries, ultracapacitors, fuel cells, filters, and low-cost waterproof fabrics more breathable than
GoreTex. In general, these markets will be addressed by licensees and corporate partners, allowing PPT
to focus on energy storage applications.
SYMMETRIX membranes, and especially in-plant SYMMETRIX coating systems, offer cell manufacturers
an excellent value proposition, enabling them to achieve high performance and safety at higher profit margins, even at PPTs targeted 10-30% price premium. Longer cycle life will lower total ownership cost, critical for the large battery packs required for EDVs. Near-term target markets for PPT include aerospace and
military, power tools and EDVs (especially bikes/scooters/motorcycles). PPT will enjoy at least three revenue
streams: Sales of SYMMETRIX roll goods, sales of SYMMETRIX in-plant coating systems, and sales of specialty raw materials used in the production of SYMMETRIX films.
Customers include Bye Aerospace, EaglePicher Technologies, Johnson Controls, NASA and VARTA Microbattery. Many other evaluations are expected to lead to additional near-term revenues. PPT is now engaging
equipment manufacturers and other potential strategic partners to help assemble, sell and support in-plant
coating systems.
PPTs Pennsylvania R&D center is fully equipped for pilot production of films and lithium-ion cells, and a dedicated coating line at partner NEPTCO offers an annual capacity of 8 million m2 of SYMMETRIX roll goods
for those customers not opting to purchase an in-plant coating system. PPT employees and reps will sell
and support SYMMETRIX roll goods and coating systems worldwide, including into China through NEPTCO,
where bulk rolls will be shipped for processing and delivery.
Asahi Kasei, Exxon-Mobil, Celgard and Ube own 90% of the market and are rapidly expanding production of
the lower-porosity, higher-resistance polyolefin separators that are the current standard for lithium-ion batteries. All of their products are produced using an extrusion/stretching process that limits their porosity (and
thus their performance). They would not be practical or cost-effective to implement as an in-plant coating
system. As a result, it is likely impossible that they can ever approach the low cost PPTs in-plant coating
system offers cell manufacturers. The United States Advanced Battery Consortium, an EDV industry organization made up of the DOE and the Big Three automakers, has established a cost target of $1.00/m2 for
separators, which are now priced at $2.00/m2 or higher. Cell manufacturers using the SYMMETRIX in-plant
coating system should be able to easily hit this target. For these reasons, competitors may also view PPT as
a partner or acquisition candidate. Celgard parent Polypore has purchased two separator companies since
2008 and there have been several other recent acquisitions in the field.

Capital History & Requirements: $3.5M in cash funding to date ($341K management/advisors, $1.9M other
convertible debt, $1.3M SBIR). $2.2M is convertible into equity with the current $2M Series A (targeted close
December, 2009). $3-4M Series B anticipated Q4-10.
Anticipated use of proceeds: Sales & Marketing $752K, Production ramp-up $547K, G&A $550K, R&D
$273K, CapEx $18K.
Milestones: Close Series A, Q4-09; Strategic development agreement with equipment partner for in-plant
coating, Q4-09; Launch full-volume roll goods production at NEPTCO, Q4-09; China distribution center established, initial Chinese volume sales, Q2-10; First in-plant coating systems installed at customers, Q3-10.

individually controlled by a personal computer. These heliostats are
currently being used for natural lighting, but Practical Solar will develop
a scaled-up version (the HE600) and CS receiver enabling customers to realize a 2-6 year payback on their
investment in thermal applications. The company Founder and CEO, Bruce Rohr, has several patents to his
credit and has designed an astonishing array of cutting-edge technologies used in medical, optical, scientific
and military industries. David Howell, COO, has managed several start-up companies to profitability. Practical Solar seeks $2,500,000 in equity funding to develop, test and certify the new system, and execute the
first year marketing plan.

Practical Solars concentrating solar (CS) system will use heliostats (sun-tracking mirrors) and a CS receiver
to produce up to 100kW of thermal energy at 100-500F. The price (per m2 reflective surface area) of Practical Solars current heliostat (the HE500) is one-tenth that of competitive offerings, but is not competitive
with fossil fuels. It also does not include a CS receiver necessary to integrate the system with thermal
applications. Practical Solar will develop this receiver and a scaled-up heliostat (the HE600) to provide 6X
more energy per dollar and compete directly with fossil fuels in mainstream thermal applications. It will ship
in small boxes, be hand-installable and not require any set installation pattern. At $0.25/watt, it will be the
most cost-effective and versatile solar system in the world. It will overcome the deficiencies of traditional
solar products, which have low efficiency and limited output, and other CS systems that are impractical for
distributed applications.
November 12 & 13, 2009

Market and Application

The addressable markets are (1) Commercial HVAC building heating, cooling (using absorption chillers)
and potable hot water heating, and (2) Low-mid temperature thermal industrial processes. The targeted market segments (U.S. regions with payback cycle of < 6 years) exceed $30 billion annually.
Initial marketing will be limited to the U.S. to minimize support issues. Commercial and Industrial establishments operating within 14 story flat-roofed buildings or located in suburban or remote regions generally
have suitable land or rooftop area to deploy the HE600 system. A publicity campaign will accompany the
product release, coordinated with advertising in building and industrial publications. Practical Solar will expand and certify its network of Distributor-Installers. The companys website, modified to address the target
markets, will remain a fertile source of customer leads.
Most CS systems are used for utility-scale power generation and are too unwieldy for distributed energy applications. Smaller trough systems have recently been installed for HVAC applications, but Practical Solars
HE600 will have 2X the efficiency and far lower installation & maintenance costs. Traditional solar thermal
products such as flat plate collectors convert non-concentrated sunlight to thermal energy and have low efficiency (20% average), low output temperature (<140F) and scant output in cold weather. Payback cycles
are 12-20 years for hot water heating and they are essentially unusable for other applications. Practical
Solars CS system will average 70% efficiency, with output temperatures up to 500F (virtually unaffected by
ambient temperature), and a 2-6 year payback cycle in the target markets.

Practical Solar seeks an equity investment of $2,500,000 to: (1) Develop a CS receiver and scaled-up heliostat; (2) Deploy a prototype system integrated with a commercial building HVAC system; (3) Execute first
year promotional activities. Milestones include: (a) Completion of finite element analysis (FEA) modeling
demonstrating HE600 wind-resistance to 110 MPH and achievement of efficiency goals; (b) Completion of
cost analyses of bills of materials, meeting cost targets for midhigh volume; (c) Achieving 6 month and 12
month sales forecasts. Breakeven is expected in Year 2 after receipt of funding. Revenues are projected to
exceed $62MM in Year 5.

Prism Solar Technologies

Presented by:
Stephen Filler, Director of Business Development

Company Overview
Prism Solars mission is to develop solar as a real-life replacement
of fossil fuels and in the process, grow the industry through partnerships and cooperation. Prism Solars core technology is holographic
optical film, which is a low-level concentrator that is incorporated in
PV modules and can replace up to 72% of the cell material (typically
silicon) needed in a module. Because the cell is the most expensive component in a module, the incorporation of holographic film
dramatically lowers costs, and we expect to reach grid-parity ($1/W)
in 2012. The holographic film concentrates light onto PV cells such
that power production (kWhs) is increased 20-40%. Prisms target
customers are PV module manufacturers for end-users in all markets
(utility, commercial, and residential). Prism Solars Board of Directors
and management team is composed of seasoned PV veterans with
decades of experience in the PV industry, particularly with successful
start-up companies.

Prism Solars technology is holographic optical film that is incorporated into PV power modules. The film replaces up to 72% of the
silicon required in a module, and because silicon is the most expensive material in a module, the incorporation of the holographic film
dramatically lowers costs. The film also acts as a low-level concentrator that increases power production (kWh) by 20-40%, as verified
by third-party testing. This increase in power production is due to a
number of unique features of holographic film: it traps the most useful wavelengths of light (400-1100nm) and concentrates it onto the
top and bottom of bi-facial PV cells; redirects infrared and UV wavelengths away from the module to reduce temperature 10 degrees C,
thus maintaining peak cell efficiencies; accepts diffuse light during
cloudy conditions; accepts indirect light from early morning and late
evening sun and reflected light from albedo.

Worldwide PV installations reached 6 GW in 2008, representing growth of 110% over the previous year, and
generating $37 billion in global revenues. The global economic crisis and the collapse of the Spanish market
have slowed growth in the PV industry for the short-term, but long-term growth is expected to be very strong
again in 2011.
Prism Solars core technology is a transparent holographic optical film that acts as a low-level concentrator,
supplying up to 3x concentration onto adjacent silicon PV cells, and resulting in increased kWh production
of 20-40%. Holographic film is easily integrated into the manufacturing process of crystalline silicon PV modules. Prisms primary target customers will be PV module manufacturers and systems integrators. Prism is
currently selling test modules to target customers so they can validate the improved performance due to the
incorporation of the holographic film. Prism Solar will sell holographic film worldwide with licensing agreements and HPC modules for the US market.
Prism Solars primary competition are PV module manufacturers like First Solar, which have low production
costs, and Sharp, which has gained a large market share. However, silicon module manufacturers, which
represent 93% of the market, are expected to be our primary customers, not our competition. Prism Solar
is also competing with silicon cell manufacturers. However, because holographic film costs much less than
$.50/W to produce, Prism Solar has a strong competitive advantage regardless of what happens to the price
of silicon.

Prism Solar is currently in a Series B round of fundraising. The Company intends to continue to build out a
60MW manufacturing line for producing HPC modules, and to build 1 GW manufacturing line for holographic
film.

substantially reduce the upfront and ongoing costs and improve the
performance of almost any electro-mechanical application. QM Power
products have higher power density, which means they are much lighter, smaller and lower cost than other alternatives of comparable power output. In addition, they operate far
more efficiently over a wider range of operating speeds than conventional/existing AC or DC electric motors,
generators and actuators. Based out of Kansas City, MO and Boston, MA, QM Power has begun delivering
prototypes to strategic industry leaders to demonstrate the improved efficiency and performance for linear a
variety of high value short term and large long term opportunities/applications. QM Power was named a Venture of the Year Finalist at the NREL Industrial Growth Forum, a Top Innovator in Missouri in 2008 (SBTDC),
nominated for an Innovation Award in New England in 2009 (SBANE) and one of the three Best Clean Energy Investment Presentations at the 2009 New Energy Symposium (NENY and E2TAC) in New York.

Permanent magnets are used in electric motors, generators and actuators to replace field coils that produce
static magnetic fields to provide a reduction in the size and weight of the machine while eliminating the
I2R losses attributed to the field coils. However, replacing a machines field coils with permanent magnets
has historically had multiple trade-offs/limitations including limited controllability of the static magnetic field,
limited gap flux densities and potential reliability issues. QM Powers Parallel Path Magnetic Technology
obtains the benefits of using permanent magnets while minimizing the historical trade-offs/limitations found
in conventional permanent magnet designs. The resulting electric motors, generators and actuators are
smaller, lower weight, lower cost and have higher efficiency than competitive permanent magnet and nonpermanent magnet designs.

QM Power is enabling higher performance and lower costs for electric vehicle, wind and hydro power generation, HVAC, industrial and robotic applications. These applications represent a significant portion of the
$70+ billion annual global electric motor, generator and actuator markets.
November 12 & 13, 2009

QM Power anticipates ramping commercial product and licensing revenues to over $100 million within 5
years by working with the incumbent market share leaders in each of its large target markets to expedite the
commercialization of PPMT. QM Power is currently cash flow positive with all of its development programs
currently supported by Government research grants from the National Science Foundation, the Department
of Energy and the Department of Defense.
QM Power achieves higher average air gap flux density than competing permanent magnet designs by only
utilizing attractive permanent magnet flux, a higher stator-rotor interface active area and flux division and
squaring which result in a broader and higher range of torque and efficiency. The intrinsic higher power density results in lower weight, volume and upfront cost offerings, the higher efficiency results in lower ongoing
operating energy/battery costs and the unique design provides lower maintenance costs and reliability and
production advantages. The Company has several issued and pending global patents. The Companys entrepreneurial management team has a successful track record in several high growth technology companies
including Aspen Aerogels, Ametek, Black and Decker and Johnson Electric.

The Company has minimized its capital requirements by utilizing Government research grants to fund its
research and development and by working with third party fabricators for its initial production requirements.
The Company is currently raising a $2-5 million Series B financing to expand its team and facilities, complete
field trials and provide additional working capital.

Resolute Marine Energy, Inc.

Presented by:

Company Overview
Our purpose is to finalize the development and qualification of a
wave-powered seawater desalination system that, by 2014, will
serve 0.7 million people in coastal communities in developing nations and reduce greenhouse emission by approximately 78,000
tons/year.
Our company, Resolute Marine Energy (RME) is currently building wave energy converters (WEC) that power the offshore
aquaculture industry. For our desalination system, we are targeting off-grid coastal communities in developing nations where
a solution to persistent water shortages is urgently needed and
where our system will fill a huge gap between utility-scale and
micro-scale fresh water production systems.

South Africa, our entry market, represents a $5.4B addressable market where our wave-powered desalination system will be readily adopted because it produces large quantities of clean fresh water at an attractive
cost using very little human labor and no fossil fuels. It requires minimal capital investment, can be set up in a
matter of a few days and can easily scale to meet growing needs. Our system will displace the diesel-driven
desalination systems that currently dominate the market.
Our core expertise is in entrepreneurship, general management and ocean technology product development. We have accumulated over 20 years of professional experience and we have lived, worked and shared
our lives with people in more than 8 different developing countries.

Our system is comprised of an IP-protected Wave Energy Converter (WEC) that pressurizes seawater
piped ashore to drive a reverse osmosis desalination system were jointly developing with Siemens Water
Technologies. t utilizes free energy from ocean waves, can be installed in few days and is 100% clean. A
51-WEC plant can manufacture approximately 0.9 million m3/of fresh water/year (enough to supply 2,500
households) and, in the case of our first customer, provide a 3-year payback.

Our system fills a large gap in Market between macro-scale solutions (dams, pipelines, power plants) that
require large capital investment and decades and micro-scale solutions that provide relief for relatively few
people. Our addressable market is composed of rural/off-grid communities located in coastal area in developing countries suffering water scarcity.
November 12 & 13, 2009

During a visit in March 2009 in South Africa, our first entry market, we established with the Department of Water Affairs and Forestry (DWAF) that the addressable market size is $5.4B for RME. This figure is conservative as DWAF suggested that installing systems in coastal communities where water supplies are currently
sufficient and redistributing the surplus to inland off-grid communities would be of potential interest.
We devised a strategy to expand in South Africa (1) by identifying and securing our first customer, the municipality of Ugu, with whom we plan to run a commercial pilot by end 2010 (2) and by building our local network
of engineers, consultants, development experts, entrepreneurs, and local investors. (3) We also leveraged
the support of Ugu to gain greater access to the federal government, having already established strong ties
with the DWAF that will allow us to create access to new markets. (4) Once our credibility is established in
South Africa, we will apply the same marketing strategy in other developing countries such as Morocco, Peru
or India.
Our target customers in South Africa consist mainly of municipalities located in Kwazulu-Natal (Durban),
Western Cape (Cape Town) and the North West region (Port Nolloth) suffering a cumulative water supply
deficit over 240 million m3/year in 2000.
In our middle scale market, there is only one incumbent technology - diesel-powered systems which can
be easily displaced in coastal communities with adequate wave resources because of the following reasons:
Fuel cost: 70% of the cost of diesel-driven desalination system comes from energy cost. Our free energy
makes our system quickly competitive in term of price
Collocation: our raw material and energy source are co-located therefore without supply risk
Maintenance: diesel generators require regular maintenance by skilled mechanics our system requires limited bi-annual maintenance
Environment: Combustion engines are only about 20% efficient and emit large quantities of CO2

Our financing strategy is in two folds: (1) government funding to mitigate the technology risk and both a
promising market and a first customer to mitigate the business risk. (2) Private investments and partnership
are then sought for low risk milestones.
RME already secured 130,000$ for previous works from DOE and NOAA and has $300,000 of pending
grants (November 2009) for the development of the WEC that will be used for our desalination system. Our
first customer is the municipality of Ugu and South Africa is a $5.4B addressable market.
We anticipate raising approximately $400,000 from angels and competition prize for the adaptation of a desalination system that would be contracted to a TBD partner.

standard hardwired chips. Our team has wide experience in the industry
and a virtual team of experts are ready to join on funding. We are seeking
400K of seed funding to produce a proof-of-concept test chip in conjunction with a corporate partner. Further rounds of funding will build Silicon Basis into a significant player addressing a wide range of applications
in the semiconductor industry.

Programmable logic is a semiconductor technology that allows a chip to be reconfigured to do many different
applications. Verses existing competitive FPGA (field programmable gate array) technology, SGA offers:

8 times more logic per mm2 of silicon giving us a significant cost advantage
4 times lower operational power
10 times lower standby power
Up to 2 times the performance
Using industry standard manufacturing and design tool flows
Silicon Basis will produce chips that incorporate SGA with a CPU and industry standard interfaces so our
customers can target a wide variety of consumer applications that are not currently addressed by FPGAs due
to power consumption and cost.
November 12 & 13, 2009


By virtue of its flexible nature, SGA is applicable to a large portion of the $50BN logic semiconductor market.
In our initial phase we will target a shortlist of applications that are the best fit to SGA and will provide the
quickest path to revenue. Potential applications, market size and customer reaction are being investigated
under the Carbon Trust incubator scheme and could include: internet/communications infrastructure, flexible
video processing, high performance DSP and compute acceleration.
Consumer electronics is always demanding more: lower power, more performance but at a lower cost. Often,
the only way to achieve these goals is to design a new chip, but this is getting expensive ($10M++). Soon,
only the biggest markets will justify the risk. Our SGA based products will quarter the cost of a new chip and
get it to market in a third of the time and will enable the chip-less business model. Our marketing will target
organizations whose innovation is being stifled by the cost of designing a new chip: innovative system house
as well as VC backed startups (we can also market to VCs who invest in such companies). We will position
our products as being the cost effective alternative to hardwired designs and the low power alternative to
FPGAs.
There are a number of FPGA startups that claim to offer advantages in performance or power consumption,
but none the claim significant advances in density, power consumption and performance. SGA takes programmable logic into new areas where our competitors will not be other FPGAs, but hardwired implementations such as ASICs or ASSPs. Verses ASIC we have an overwhelming cost and flexibility advantage and
verses ASSPs we can add the advantage of a custom solution.
Other competition could come from large multiprocessor based startups, but these are inherently less flexible
that programmable logic and we believe SGA could offer better power efficiency in high compute intensity
applications.

We aim to raise 400K in seed funding to build a small team to design a proof-of-concept test chip produced
in cooperation with a corporate partner. A working test chip that can demonstrate a typical application will add
significant value to the company even at this early stage.
A further round of 4.5M will be used to design and market our first product. Further rounds of funding will be
required for follow-on products as we seek to address more applications and wider markets.

Solartrecs management team has strong technical expertise and decades of experience growing and leading large companies. CEO Henri-Claude Bailly is a co-founder and former chairman and CEO of Hagler
Bailly, Inc. and has long been a leader in the energy efficiency field. Dr. Nalin Walpita, Chief Technology
Officer, has many years of experience with all aspects of thermal engineering. The companys directors bring
both national and international experience in energy and manufacturing at the highest management levels.
Product Technology Profile

Solartrecs technology consists of variations to a thermodynamic cycle based on Rankine cycles, but, instead
of utilizing vapor, it uses a liquid to vapor conversion within the engine or converter. The innovation of utilizing water within the engine creates three related advantages: high efficiency and reduced complexity and
cost.
The water is heated either by a solar collector field or waste heat and can be utilized directly in the converter
without an intervening heat transfer step. Due to efficiency enhancement methods the company has developed, theoretical maximum efficiencies approach Carnot levels within the heat engine cycle.
November 12 & 13, 2009


Because Solartrecs technology can use any thermal source to heat the liquid in the engine and can be
scaled up or down virtually without limit, potential markets and applications are vast. Immediate plans are
to develop solar thermal applications for: 1) residential installations (5-10kW); 2) commercial and industrial
facilities (25kW-1MW); and 3) utility power plants up to 10 MW. Industrial waste heat recovery applications
will be in the 25kW to 10 MW range.
There are commercial opportunities for Solartrec in three markets: distributed solar generation, base load
utility and industrial waste heat recovery. These are large markets, and, beyond its intrinsic economic and
technical advantages, Solartrecs technology will further benefit from federal and state policies and subsidies
supporting energy efficiency.
The Solartrec technology has competitive advantages in both the solar thermal and waste heat recovery
spaces. Because of its unique thermodynamic cycle, Solartrecs solar thermal technology is cost competitive: in the range of 10-12 cents/kWh LCOE (levelized cost of electricity) without subsidy. This cost advantage is achievable because the engine is able to operate at much lower temperatures, enabling it to utilize
a simpler design with fewer and less costly materials. Lower temperatures also allow for less expensive
storage methods and materials. In the area of waste heat recovery, Solartrecs thermodynamic cycle results
in a higher percentage of heat recovery than competing systems, leading to a better economic return and
faster payback times.

Solartrec has received several rounds of seed funding and is now seeking $4-6 million dollars in funding over
the next three years. These funds will be used to:
1. Install four to six grid-connected beta prototypes, including both 24/7 solar and waste heat
recovery units
2. Complete a detailed design of a 10 MW utility scale plant
3. Begin implementing a range of activities to support commercialization of the technology
4. Expand and deepen the IP base.

Solasta utilizes its proprietary Nanocoax nanotechnology to improve solar photovoltaic power generation
through a unique configuration that captures more light and harvests more power than conventional thin film
cells. This technology is PV medium agnostic, such that efficiencies of many different thin film technologies
can be improved with its implementation.

The addressable market for solar energy is over $50 billion in 2009 and is expected to continue rapid growth
as the world adopts more alternative energy sources. Thin film systems are expected to displace crystalline
PV as efficiencies of the former rise to meet or exceed those of the latter, accelerating the drive of cost per
Watt toward grid parity. Ranging from amorphous silicon and other inorganic media, to OPV and polymer,
adaptation of the Nanocoax configuration will lead this cost reduction.
The target customer base is all present and future thin film solar cell producers, since they can utilize the
Solasta technology to increase the efficiency and lower the cost of their products. Solasta offers technology
that will enhance our customers product competitiveness within the overall solar market.
The Solasta technology is fully protected by a large number of patents and trade secrets that will establish a
lasting proprietary advantage over any similar competitive approach.
November 12 & 13, 2009


The company is now moving from technical demonstration and feasibility to commercialization. We will
shortly be in a fund raising mode to support full commercialization, including pilot facilities, sales and marketing staffs and all the other requirements for market entry.

Elevator Pitch: Converting Greenhouse Gases into Green Power
Mission: To provide sustainable, domestic fuel that reduces US dependence on foreign oil, reduces flue emissions and provides green
power in populated areas. Our FALCON technology allows us to cost
efficiently capture, store, handle and use carbon dioxide from industrial
flue emissions as plant food for the commercial growth of algae. The
algae will be converted into vegetable oil and biomass for production of
green power products such as biodiesel and green electricity. No farm
land or high loss irrigation systems needed.
Market Size: A portion of U.S. diesel demand (65 billion gal./yr) and a
portion of the US power generation.

Competitive Advantage: FALCON Technology is an industry game changer because it allows us to capture
and use CO2 economically resulting in faster algae growth with higher vegetable oil yield
Team: Management developed business model, patent technology, process and engineering. We utilize
outside process & chemical engineers and other industry professionals.
Funding Goals: $1.450 million to be used for a portable FALCON system, install more programmable controls and increase the size of the growth reactor. New hires will be needed in the fields of engineering and
biology.

Tomorrow Biofuels (TBL) FALCON technology provides flue emission reduction (namely CO2). Our platform
directs a percentage (up to 99%) of flue gas into a series of analyzers followed by our Coat (CO2 Absorption Tank) Vessel where the gas is diffused with FALCON Absorbent. After saturation the mixture is transferred to a holding tank. No pressurization or special liquefaction equipment in needed. Saturated FALCON
is collected and used as a food source at our photoautroph growth centers.
November 12 & 13, 2009


Our market potential is dramatic for three reasons.
(1) Need to reduce greenhouse gases. Our FALCON absorption system can be installed at any
company looking to reduce their flue emissions (ex. coal industry). We envision installing
FALCON systems to bleed off commercial companies flue emissions in order to get them into
government compliance.
(2) US has growing demand for energy. Analysts state that by 2025 the US will need 25% more
electricity than current production. We will be producing green electricity.
(3) US Diesel fuel consumption is 65 bil gal/yr. We have a sustainable diesel replacement which
will be algae based biodiesel that can be used for home heating oil (Northeast consumes
+65%) and transportation fuel.
Tomorrow BioFuels has a sustainable solution to reduce CO2 while providing various types of green power.
We will be a net consumer of CO2 and thus we developed the FALCON system to reduce our costs of obtaining and using the gas. Commercially we want to install the FALCON system at customers location and bleed
off a percentage of the gas. We will charge a rental fee for our equipment, a service charge to remove their
CO2 and participate in any Cap & Trade Markets.
We plan to target this industry through business alliances with existing emission reduction companies. Other
strategies include Trade Shows such as EUEC (Energy & Environment Conference), Trade Magazines and
direct sales.
TBLs main revenue will come from sales of green electricity, biodiesel and biomass products. We have a
established a joint venture with a Massachusetts Company that produces and sells green electricity from
biogas to the local utility grid. Our pilot plant will include a 300kw/h generator that will use biofuel. We have
already identified various biodiesel blenders and consumers who are interested in our products.
Our competitive advantage is we have a solution to a world problem which is the reduction of carbon dioxide.
We will also be able to create and control our own feedstock production which provides an advantage over
biodiesel competitors who use conventional unsustainable vegetable oils from the US Midwest.

Tomorrow BioFuels is seeking up to $5 million dollars for start-up funding over two years. In September 2009
we reached our minimum amount of $530,000 which enables us to build a pilot plant. Additional funding will
be used for a portable FALCON platform that can be used at potential clients sites, hire chemical and process
engineers, marketing (website, tradeshows, PR, advertisement), additional bioreactor, automated controls
and analyzers.

Trenergi will develop microCHP (Combined Heat and Power) units, 1,

3 and 5 kW, for residential electrical power, heat and hot water. We will
use, high temperature PEM fuel cells operating over 160oC, eliminating the need high purity hydrogen, simplifying the fueling equation, allowing the use of a fuel flexible system
addressing world deployment. Operating this temperature we can use the stack for heat and hot water. This
improves system efficiency, simplifies installations and lowers fuel usage. We will be able to operate on natural gas, propane, kerosene, landfill gas.

Trenergi is targeting global residential power with products that will be installed at the residence providing
electricity/heat/hot water, offsetting grid power needs or as a technology to eliminate the requirement for a
grid to be built. Appliance Magazine identifies our market in North America in 2008 as 2.2 million units per
year. India has over 70 million residences without electricity. The potential in China is even larger. Trenergi
solves the needs of these markets, providing a single unit that can generate electricity, heat and hot water
and eliminate the need for a grid.
November 12 & 13, 2009

Our comprehensive financial payback model provides Trenergi with a roadmap that identifies which consumers are the best candidates for each stage of our company growth, from early field trials through commercialization. Using a wide range of inputs, the model points us to consumers who have optimal paybacks. To
reach these consumers we will partner with regional boiler/heater manufacturers using their existing channels for sales and service. They benefit with the addition of a more efficient technology, movement into the
energy sector and the ability to establish long term service programs.
Versus the grid, our technology is more energy efficient. For those who do not have the grid, our technology provides electricity. Versus other fuel cell technologies targeting microCHP, we will offer longer service
life, quicker response times, a simpler system, lower hydrogen purity requirements and lower manufacturing
costs. Versus other internal combustion engine microCHP technologies we will offer equal response times,
higher quality power (no variation), lower noise, and no vibration.

Henning Arny, Managing Director

Company Overview

[email protected]
The need for energy world wide is increasing. It is evident that this increase
www.windsea.com
in a longer timeframe can not be covered by increased use of fossil energy
sources only. The need for clean and sustainable energy sources will increase significantly. Wind energy is one of the more significant energy sources in this respect, with a generally rather mature technology. WindSea shall
be the leading floating wind mill concept for large scale production of clean renewable electrical energy.
The basis for the WindSea floater design is that each self-contained vessel will perform its duties with minimal intervention as well as easily being moved into position. Perhaps the most attractive feature of the design
is that moving the vessel into port for maintenance will be little more than a tow job. This flexibility means that
WindSea floaters may be used singly or as part of a larger wind farm. In either case, to swap-out one floater
will entail little more than making anchor and electrical connections.
To accomplish the ease of movement and stability, the symmetrical, three-legged vessel design provides a
foundation for three, currently available 3.2-megawatt (MW) windmills, meaning each vessel can provide 9.6
MW of installed generator power.
The design is totally scalable which means that the when larger windmill turbines including generators are
available, the WindSea concept can easily scale the design up to handle it. Increased turbine sizes are
expect to have a minimal impact on the vessel design, as only modification of the ballast will be needed to
ensure stability.
All together, the 3,500-tonne vessel will stretch up to about 100 meters from the ocean surface, with a draft
of 23 meters when installed. Atop this will be the windmills themselves, each blade at approximately 50 meters.
At the frames lower level, a three-arm star connects the platform to the anchor system. Three anchors are
connected at the symmetrical centre of the vessel to a vertical axis that allows free rotation of the vessel
relatively the anchoring system.
The vessel is indented to rotate as a whole, so the turbines themselves will be fixed. Two rotors will face
forward, into the wind, and the third faces to the back, and the rotor located at the stern of the vessel will be
at a higher elevation than those located at the bow. This configuration ensures the vessel faces the wind for
optimum power generation.
November 12 & 13, 2009


GWEC predicts that in 2013, global wind generating capacity will stand at 332 GW, up from 120 GW at the
end of 2008. During 2013, 56.3 GW of wind generating capacity will be added, more than double the annual
market in 2008. The year-on-year growth rates will average 22%, which is modest compared to an average
increase of 28% over the last ten years.
The WindSea technology has a significant market potential for floating wing mills for water depths from approximately -50 meter. The locations (market area) is anticipated for areas with high or medium high wind
energy density, offshore the coastline with water depth from approximately -50 meters
Target Customers:
Utility companies, integrator companies and turbine manufactures.
The plan seeks to emphasize for the utility companies ( E.ON, DONG, Statoil etc.) the availability and potential of the technology and hence, the economical potential. For the integrator companies the potential for
being the EP / EPCI contractor for delivering a large number of units to the wind mill park developers. For the
turbine producers, the potential to be the supplier of turbines to the leading concept for floating wind mills.
Based on standard submersible construction. Efficient construction. Easy towable to / from yard. No need for
large crane vessel or barge. Easy access and space for maintenance. Self oriented against the wind. Stabile
sea movements. Draft only 7 meter during transport and 22 meter installed. Centre connection of anchor
lines and cable through turret. Efficient maintenance and repair.
Coastal areas and coastline is under pressure. By locating windmill parks offshore, the majority of the obstacles can be reduced or eliminated.
