© 2014 Covanta Energy Company 2 Sustainable Solutions| Solutions Group Every year, American’s consume about $190 billion dollars of goods.

© 2014 Covanta Energy Company 3 Sustainable Solutions| Solutions Group We generate nearly 230 million tons of consumer discards.

© 2014 Covanta Energy Company 4 Sustainable Solutions| Solutions Group We generate nearly 50 million tons of industrial and manufacturing discards.

© 2014 Covanta Energy Company 5 Sustainable Solutions| Solutions Group We generate nearly 15 million tons of off specification and expired products.

© 2014 Covanta Energy Company 6 Sustainable Solutions| Solutions Group The entire population of the US only weighs about 74 million tons.

© 2014 Covanta Energy Company 7 Sustainable Solutions| Solutions Group THERE ARE ONLY TWO TECHNOLOGIES WITH ENOUGH SCALE TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM LandfillEfW

© 2014 Covanta Energy Company 8 Sustainable Solutions| Solutions Group LET’S TALK ABOUT ENERGY-FROM-WASTE (EfW)

© 2014 Covanta Energy Company 9 Sustainable Solutions| Solutions Group THIS IS WHAT A MODERN EfW FACILITY LOOKS LIKE

© 2014 Covanta Energy Company 10 Sustainable Solutions| Solutions Group Why EfW is Superior to Landfill?

© 2014 Covanta Energy Company 11 Sustainable Solutions| Solutions Group AIR EMISSIONS Highly regulated advanced air pollution control. Regulated by EPA Title III Maximum Achievable Control Technology Standards (MACT). Minimally regulated minimal air pollution control. Over 170 air pollutants and 46 air toxins, including 4 known carcinogens. LandfillEfW

© 2014 Covanta Energy Company 12 Sustainable Solutions| Solutions Group CLIMATE CHANGE 1 ton of greenhouse gas avoided Every ton of MSW managed at an EfW facility offsets approximately 1 ton of greenhouse gas emissions. Leading source of greenhouse gas emissions Landfills are a leading source of Methane, a powerful greenhouse gas 72x stronger than CO2. LandfillEfW GhG

© 2014 Covanta Energy Company 13 Sustainable Solutions| Solutions Group NEARLY 10x THE ENERGY CONVERSION LandfillEfW 550 KWh per ton Enough energy to power the average home for 2 weeks. 65 KWh per ton Enough to power the average home for 2 days.

© 2014 Covanta Energy Company 14 Sustainable Solutions| Solutions Group METAL RECOVERY LandfillEfW 50lbs. per ton For each ton of MSW processed Covanta EfW facilities recover 50lbs. of metal. 0lbs.per ton Landfills bury valuable metal with the MSW and no recovery is made.

© 2014 Covanta Energy Company 15 Sustainable Solutions| Solutions Group Landfill LONG-TERM ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITY EfW One hour to process It takes about an hour to process material and recover energy to the grid years to process MSW degrades in landfills for 100 years or more with uncontrolled emissions presenting long-term environmental liability.
