Two third, 27,000 tpd was produced and distributed in the market. 11/17/2015 The contents are strictly confidential and are not for any unauthorized person 7 Providing Innovative and cost effective solutions to the industry TSI and CO2 Applications Carbon Dioxide Supplies And Users Key Applications: For Dry Ice - Gaseous CO2: Supplied by Pipeline - Liquid CO2 is supplied by Merchant Channels such as tankers and Cylinders to a wide variety of industries. >Demands are steady for : - Food and Beverage Applications - Laser production and welding - Dry ice - Pharmaceutical Industry - Green House Gas >Demand has surged and will remain strong in: - Enhanced Oil recovery using pipeline CO2 consuming 177,000 tpd of CO2 to extract additional Oil from reservoirs -Food Industry: Meat processing, Short term food storage, distribution In flight catering, R & D -Dry ice blasting: surface cleaning technique, a gentler and green process. -Pharma and Biotech Industry As a note: -In Midwest region, Illinois based Continental Carbonic produces 1400 tpd of Liquid CO2 where 80% of this product is converted to and sold as dry ice. It has 8 production facilities and 31 distribution sites. Matheson Trigas, a major industrial gases company in US, recently purchased Continental Carbonic gaining market share in dry ice business. This will also offer organic sales growth to Continental Carbonic as Matheson market share is diverse that includes welding, specialty gases and electronics. 8 11/17/2015 The contents are strictly confidential and are not for any unauthorized person Providing Innovative and cost effective solutions to the industry Some Applications of CO2 by Industry Manufacturing and Construction Uses: >Carbon dioxide is used on a large scale as a shield gas in MIG/MAG welding, where the gas protects the weld puddle against oxidation by the surrounding air. A mixture of argon and carbon dioxide is commonly used today to achieve a higher welding rate and reduce the need for post weld treatment. >Dry ice pellets are used to replace sandblasting when removing paint from surfaces. It aids in reducing the cost of disposal and cleanup. Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals and Petroleum Industry Uses: >Large quantities are used as a raw material in the chemical process industry, especially for methanol and urea production. Rubber and Plastics Industry Uses: >Flash is removed from rubber objects by tumbling them with crushed dry ice in a rotating drum. Food and Beverages Uses for Carbon Dioxide: >Liquid or solid carbon dioxide is used for quick freezing, surface freezing, chilling and refrigeration in the transport of foods. >In cryogenic tunnel and spiral freezers, high pressure liquid CO2 is injected through nozzles that convert it to a mixture of CO2 gas and dry ice "snow" that covers the surface of the food product. As it sublimates (goes directly from solid to gas states) refrigeration is transferred to the product. >Carbon dioxide gas is used to carbonate soft drinks, beers and wine and to prevent fungal and bacterial growth. >Liquid carbon dioxide is a good solvent for many organic compounds. It is used to de-caffeinate coffee. >It is used as an inert “blanket”, as a product-dispensing propellant and an extraction agent. It can also be used to displace air during canning. >Supercritical CO2 extraction coupled with a fractional separation technique is used by producers of flavors and fragrances to separate and purify volatile flavor and fragrances concentrates. >Cold sterilization can be carried out with a mixture of 90% carbon dioxide and 10% ethylene oxide, the carbon dioxide has a stabilizing effect on the ethylene oxide and reduces the risk of explosion. 11/17/2015 The contents are strictly confidential and are not for any unauthorized person 9 Providing Innovative and cost effective solutions to the industry TSI and CO2 & Applications •Medicine: In medicine, up to 5% CO2 is added to pure oxygen. This helps in provoking breathing and to stabilize the O2/CO2 balance in blood. SCCO2 applic. in sterilization of drugs and Extraction. Global CO2 market in Pharma & Biotech is $85 mm, US is $32 mm and growing. •CO2 Laser: The CO2 laser, a common type of industrial gas laser uses CO2 as a medium. Welding: It also find its use as an atmosphere for welding. •Oil Wells: Carbon dioxide is commonly injected into or next to producing oil wells to draw lost traces of crude oil . •Metals Industry: It is used in the manufacture of casting influences so as to enhance their hardness. •Fumigation: Used as a fumigant to increase shelf life and remove infestations. •Enhanced Oil Recovery: Heightened interest in US in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) using tertiary techniques such as EOR using CO2. However, Laid in cost for using CO2 in EOR projects is driven by distance from its source to application site. Danbury resources, a key CO2 supplier in Texas via pipeline sells 400 mmscf per day CO2 for EOR in Southeast region. Major limitation in other areas of US is CO2 supply in scattered EOR project locations. Carbon Sequestration and storage: Syngas and Power projects for many regions of US and Canada will provide CO2 for EOR services in years to come. Oklahoma state has numerous EOR projects where CO2 is pipelined from Bravo Dome and others are supplied by ammonia where CO2 is byproduct. This is new area and it will take years before its activities are at peak. 11/17/2015 The contents are strictly confidential and are not for any unauthorized person 10 Providing Innovative and cost effective solutions to the industry Waste CO2 to Valuable Products from Algae Separated CO2 from Flue emission can be further: -Purified, compressed, and sold to commercial gas clients -Used in agriculture e.g. algae farming. Algae has found its usage in a variety of industries as follows: - Fuel: EPA 2011 renewable fuel std. volume requirements at 1.35 billion gallons of advanced biofuels. And the U.S. Navy's goal is to operate at least 50% of its fleet on clean renewable fuel sources by 2020. Achieving this objective will require a significant use of biofuels. -Renewable Oil Markets: This area is focused on addressing the needs of chemicals, nutritionals, and skin and personal care markets using algae. -Chemicals: In 2009, about 9 million metric tons of palm kernel and coconut oils were consumed globally for food and industrial applications such as laundry detergent, soap, and shampoo, functional fluids such as airplane de-icing fluids, Algae oils are a natural fit for these markets. -Nutritionals: The $2 trillion packaged food industry is actively seeking more natural, sustainable sources of fiber and healthful fats without compromising value, quality, taste, or nutrition. Commercializing a suite of microalgaederived food ingredients is in progress. -Health Sciences: Target market is global skin and personal care market, which is estimated at $323 billion. Within this market, focus area of business are (1) Toiletries, makeup, and hair care, estimated at $239 billion (2) skin care, estimated at $84 billion.

Since the emergence of the major gas companies, most of the raw CO2 is actually sold to the gas refiner – which is also the marketing operation for the merchant CO2. • In addition to this exception today in North America, This direct CO2 marketing scheme is quite common in Latin America and many other regions. Ref: http://www.biofuelsdigest.com/bdigest/2011/11/23/carbon-dioxide-applications-%E2%80%93-a-key-to-ethanol-project-developments/ 11/17/2015 The contents are strictly confidential and are not for any unauthorized person 13 Providing Innovative and cost effective solutions to the industry TSI and CO2 Market for the CO2 Manufacturer • One fact supporting direct sales of CO2 by the ethanol firm to a limited merchant or niche market is a large margin difference between the raw gas prices to a refiner/gas company. Raw gas prices range from $5 to $25/ton v. consumer market prices usually averaging around $90 to $100/ton; and in some high priced markets with little regional competition or no local supply can be $200 to $300/ton. • It will be necessary to evaluate the costs of production, distribution, and overhead, initially to consider wholesale raw gas sales or direct markets. • Further, once markets are understood, and the costs & requirements for producing CO2 for the merchant trade is known, along with distribution; then potential risks for direct marketing can be properly evaluated. • Numerous cases exist, where a niche market or a specific region would make the most sense, in terms of directly marketing the commodity – and a true opportunity to produce much stronger revenues.
