Technology Innovations – Wood Gasifier Core business: energy production from refined biomass Profitability from an energy plant means: -Production planning with programmable sources -Availability, cost and environment impact of fuels -High efficiency of the production systems -System scalability INNOVATION OF WOOD GASIFIER

Technology Innovations – Wood Gasifier Why Innovation? -Production Planning with programmable sources No programmable sources (sun, wind) in the renewable energy production system of countries may result critical situations in terms of electrical grid stability in long term period In Italy recently The electrical authority can disconnect arbitrary no programmable plant for safety grid reasons = loss of profitability

Technology Innovations – Wood Gasifier SYSTEM EFFICIENCY SYSTEM SCALABILITY DIESEL CYCLE + ORC OTTO CYCLE STEAM TURBINE DIESEL CYCLE COMBINED CYCLE GAS TURBINE ORC -High efficiency of the production system -Scalability of the system Why Innovation?

Technology Innovations – Wood Gasifier -Possibility to use low cost and low impact fuel, with high availability in an high efficiency/scalability system Why Innovation of Wood gasifier? -Low cost fuels savings during purchasing and plant operation -Availability of fuels warranty of supply -Low environment impact accepted from local communities -High efficiency more electrical production higher revenues -High scalability easier authorization path, localization near final users, saving of electrical losses

Technology Innovations – Wood Gasifier Why gasifier? Wood is a solid fuel. If we want use it in a Diesel system we need gas or liquid state Wood fuel? All fuels have to be refined, because energy production systems need stable input Stable Input = simplier processes lower investment costs Wood Cips (Not Fully refined)Wood Pellet (Fully refined)

Technology Innovations – Wood Gasifier Cips or Pellet Wood? Wood Refining > Wood Cips Refining > Wood Pellet (solid state) Refining 3 (gas state ) Refining 4 (gas state) Refining 4 (gas state) Gas ready for Diesel Engine Refining phase 2 = Refining phase 3 but solid process costs less than gas process Pellet using is preferable

Technology Innovations – Wood Gasifier Other system infos -Modules of 199 kWp – 270 kWt (32% electrical efficiency) -Man diesel engine + turbine on exhausted gas -Assembled system, fast installation -Feed with wood pellet or other selected biomass (new development) -Low emissions level compatible with Italian law (DM 6 luglio 2012, art. 8 comma 7-allegato 5) -Possibilities to combine modules in order to increase the power -High availability of the system (> hours guaranteed) General technical details of our system -Production warranty with an O&M contract -Approved by more than one primary credit institutes in Italy -Investment of Motus Energy / Gruber Logistics group in new plant during year 2012: around 7 milion (first plants in Italy) -80 modules already installed in Europe (Germany and Italy) at march 2013, 3 years track record

Technology Innovations – Wood Gasifier -Full EPC costs (4,9 – 6,1 mln / MWp) depends by specific site/n. modules -Investment costs / EBITDA 5-6,5 years depends by specific site/heating using -Risk of fuel supply Motus is fully connected to Gruber Logistics Group, an international company, and has agreements with different large biomass producers -Risk of fuel price pellet is a commodity with low inflation risk -Risk of fuel price warranty price for a defined period -Risk of fuel price partial compensation by heat contract updates -Risk of plant stop by authorities biomass is a programmable source General financial / risks management
