Biomass in Arizona: Utilization and Market Opportunities Bradley Worsley – President/CEO of Novo Power Collaborative Restoration Workshop 4/27/16

Undeniable need for Biomass mitigation in AZ - Repairing the impact of the last 100 years of forest management policy - Catastrophic fire has burned 25% of our National Forests in the last 15 years. - We are in 14+ year drought - We have the largest restoration project in the American West which includes four of our National Forests in Arizona (4FRI, 2.4 Million Acres). - The problem…we have a Biomass Bottleneck!

Novo Biopower 28MW B&W BFB Boiler 24x7 365 Baseload Power Source PPA’s with SRP and APS 38 Direct Employees >100 jobs Created indirectly >$14M spent in local economy annually >210k MW’s of Renewable power generated annually >200k Bone Dry Ton of Biomass burned annually >15k acres treated annually for Biomass removal In 2015, our Capacity Factor to Budget was 100.3%

Impact of Biomass power vs others on local economy Forest Health Restoration Controlled burning savings >$1M annually to USFS Fighting Catastrophic Wildfire cost of >$150M between Rodeo/Chedeski, Wallow, and San Juan fires Watershed Impact Augmentation of current watershed by 20% Reservoir Protection >$62M spent by Denver Water on erosion control, dredging, and treatment in protection of reservoirs, like CC Cragin, from 150k acres fire) Local ranchers received >$2M of grassland restoration at no cost in 2014 Baseload vs Intermittent Local Power Production Emissions Benefit Not all Electrons are created equal…

What else can a Free Market Economy do with Biomass?

Market Maturity - Medium Market Size – Saturated Market Future – Uncertain Market Location – Foreign Subsidy - Needed Capital Required – High Biomass Usage – 100% Market Maturity - Low Market Size – Large Market Future – Good Market Location – Local Subsidy - Helpful Capital Required – Very High Biomass Usage – 50-75% Market Maturity - High Market Size – Large Market Future – Good Market Location – Local Subsidy - None Capital Required – Very High Biomass Usage – 75% + Market Maturity - High Market Size – Medium Market Future – Stable Market Location – Local Subsidy - None Capital Required – Low Biomass Usage – 100% Market Maturity - High Market Size – Large Market Future – Uncertain Market Location – Local Subsidy - Helpful Capital Required – High Biomass Usage – 100%
