Rwanda BioFuel and Reforestation WSF Executive Summary A unique opportunity to invest in sustainable reforestation producing fuel, food, (cattle) feed, and sequestering carbon with expected ROI of 48% after 5 years. ROI can be used for further sustainable investments. Bussum, May 2013 Reinier Bosman Director Project Operations World Sustainability Fund info@worldsustainabilityfund.nl Phone +31-(0)6-2423 5510 * Pic’s are from Jathropa, a similar but different tree

A rare investment opportunity Second Generation Biodiesel Crop Financial Summary 50% free land use / 50% Second Generation permanent Biofuel Crop with livestock Suitable for large scale Net Energy Return rate of 25 (compare photovoltaic 6.8 and wind 18) Annual production over 4,000 liters of biofuel per hectare Annual 48% free operating cash flow after 5 years 31% IRR (Internal Rate of Return)  

Outstanding Financial Performance Offers Opportunities Product Features Outstanding Financial Performance Offers Opportunities Product Features Controls wind and water erosion CO2 absorption Cattle: fixes Nitrogen, auto fertilize Tree: oil production for fuel (local or as product) Cattle: food production for humans Tree: food production for cattle 50% of the land available for other use   2 6 5 4 3 1

50% of the land is Free for Use Additional land yield Options for use of the other 50% land: Increase functionality or economic profits Reforestation, erosion prevention Sustainable Community building, facilities Food Forest, permaculture Permaculture nursery, women and men training center African Sustainability Technology showcase center International permaculture training center Agriculture Additional Biofuel production Wind or Solar Renewable Energy Farm Etcetera WSF offers to help you set this up.

10,000 ha plantation in the USA. Revenues per acre 10,000 ha plantation in the USA.

Annual ROI can be used for further investment in Sustainability Financial returns Potential for high annual returns 10,000 ha plantation in the USA. Annual ROI can be used for further investment in Sustainability

Potential growth range Expected succesful plantation Growth area of the tree The tree is native to India and Australia. Between 30 degrees North and South of the Equator, in areas consistent with the Holdridge Zones previously identified “Mediterranean climates”. With known citrus production North and South of 30 degrees (e.g. Arizona, California, Southern Spain, Italy, Greece and Turkey).

Biofuel Tree Characteristics Proven track record in India, Australia, US First yield after 3 years Up to 100 years of life time Extensive on-going R&D Not an invasive weed threat Highest return on marginal soils Drought tolerant Highly salt tolerant Sellable by-products Net sequestring of Carbon Mechanical harvesting Direct use of oil Cost effective refining High quality Biodiesel Cost effective broad hectare solution Livestock with higher stocking rates Better quality pastures Suitable for inter-row cropping High annual seed yield (10-20,000 seed per tree) High (35-43%) oil content in seed Salinity tolerance up to 2000ppm (eq to saltbush) Elite germplasm has been identified clonally propagated Deep tap root sources water and nutrients well down in subsoil Produces its own nitrogen thereby displacing approximately $200 per hectare/pa of nitrates applied as compound fertilizer Fungicidal & insecticidal action decreases pest attack, natural pesticide>DDT

The Löss plateau, China, before reforestation WSF services how can WSF support you The World Sustainability Fund offers services to catalyze Global Sustainability initiatives Finding finances for sustainability initiatives Consultancy for loans and knowledge Access to many State of the Art+ green technologies Advising in constructions and consortium partners for sustainability initiatives Project execution and jobs as much as possible by locals Global roll-out of successful sustainability initiatives The Löss plateau, China, before reforestation

Opportunities for Rwandan Reforestation Interconnections, jobs, food, private sector, skills, green economy, carbon, erosion, financial flow Opportunities for Rwanda Reforestation Biofuel is 100% carbon neutral renewable energy source for own use or export Build a refinery for the biofuel production (WSF): jobs Train locals in sustainable agroforest farming and permaculture Provide farming jobs to locals, start in blue/red poorest province(s) Establish African Sustainability Technology Showcase Center Establish African Permaculture Knowledge Training Center Train women in permaculture skills at no cost Locals and internationals alike pay for the course with labour so nursery and tree planting could be at low costs Use economic profits to further finance sustainabiility projects: safe drinkwater, roll these concepts out in Rwanda, etcetera WSF offers to help set this up.

Rwanda Implementation Proposal Possible timeline framework June June 30 July 19 July 20 Sept-Oct What we Offer, Milestones, what we Need WSF and John Liu to visit Rwanda to discuss plan WSF writes application for UN CDM loan scheme to generate PDD for Rwanda Reforestation signature Rwanda to start reforestation project (100 / 500 / 10,000 ha as desired) WSF applies for CDM loan scheme Rwanda UN approves CDM interest-free loan scheme WSF, Rwanda, determine project location. Skypes with Rwanda to consider starting of Training center, to start permaculture soil production and tree nursery and write training center further plans WSF writes PDD, obtains UN Carbon certiciation, finds investor $50 mio to finance 10,000+ ha planting
