Agenda The Criteria Criterion - Technical Ability Q&A

Criteria Criterion Threshold Maximum points Degree of system integration from light capture to fuel production 25 30 Device/system performance 15 Production of fuel that will be used in an engine Widest market potential 5 10 Commercial potential of the device Total 65 100

Award Criteria – Technical Ability – Integration (1/4) Degree of system integration from light capture to fuel production (30) The criteria will assess the degree of Integration of the device. The application shall provide detailed descriptions : of the methods and measurement techniques employed acknowledging internationally agreed standards noting the measurement methods and equipment employed.

Award Criteria – Technical Ability – Integration (2/4) Integrity (10) Integrity is a measure of device's integration of the complete artificial synthesis cycle covering inter alia: Light Capture Water splitting Carbon reduction Participants shall provide details in their application regarding the level of process integration, including a description key integration challenges and how they were overcome through innovative design.

Award Criteria – Technical Ability – Integration (3/4) Durability (10) Durability is a measure of the device’s capacity to perform under varying conditions, including variation in sunlight input during the operation cycle (light function), temperature fluctuations, and length of time of un-assisted operation. Operational cycle information Light cycle(s)/light function used during device testing Ambient temperature conditions and variability Duration of un-assisted operation (average, longest, etc…) Methods employed to make such measurements

Award Criteria – Technical Ability – Integration (4/4) Novelty (10) Novelty is a measure of the innovations made in designing, constructing and improving the device’s performance during its development. It is a qualitative measure.. Experiences gained during device development Innovations in materials and genetic engineering involved in the biological and chemical processes applied in the deviceAmbient temperature conditions and variability Innovations on device design and construction materials Innovations made in respect of overcoming engineering challenges

Award Criteria – Technical Ability – Performance (1/3) Device/system performance (max. 25 points) The criteria will assess the degree of Performance of the device in terms of: Efficacy Efficiency The application shall provide detailed descriptions : of the methods and measurement techniques employed acknowledging internationally agreed standards noting the measurement methods and equipment employed.

Award Criteria – Technical Ability – Performance (2/3) Efficacy (10) Efficacy is a measure of a device’s capacity to produce both useful volumes and quality of fuel. Details to be provided Total amount of fuel produced by the device Amount of fuel produced per unit time The fuel quality in terms of type of fuel produced and its average calorific value per unit volume The methods used to make such measurements

Award Criteria – Technical Ability – Performance (3/3) Efficiency (10) Efficiency is a measure of the device’s capacity to convert sunlight into fuel, also taking into account any energy utilised for ancillary services and materials consumed during operation. Details to be provided levels of solar energy input to the device and other energy inputs; material inputs; fuel output (consistent with Efficacy measurements); the calculated efficiency for each and all of these factors; the methods employed to make such measurements and calculations

Production of fuel that will be used in an engine (25) Participants shall receive maximum 20 points for autonomous operation in respect of energy use. Innovations in carbon dioxide capture and use are not considered within the scope of this prize, and therefore shall not count towards autonomous operation. The performance of the device will be verified and the final score awarded at a ‘Grand Final’ event
