“GRASS-FED DATA CENTER” JULY 15, 2010 MoCARB ZERO ™ e nginuity Worldwide LLC Advancing Renewables in the Midwest

Why are we here? “It’s hard to push a string uphill, go find a demand for new technology.” – Missouri Business Leader “Missouri is Saudi Arabia of Bio-Mass & Clean Burning Sustainable Energy” – Former Head of GSA Region VII Demand Drives Innovation e nginuity Worldwide LLC

Grass-Fed Data Center – Creating a Nexus Between Agriculture and Information Technology “The successful location of data centers in Missouri have the potential to create a new market for renewable energy in Missouri, as well as jump-start a new market of sustainable, “green-energy” produced by Missouri farmers and agro-foresters. These are true “green jobs” grown from Missouri’s fertile soil; supplying clean energy to power the burgeoning data center industry. Energy from Missouri’s plants and timber could provide a significant infusion of revenue into Missouri’s rural economy, create badly needed jobs, and put Missouri on the map for renewable energy and data centers.” – United States Senator “Kit” Bond, a long-time advocate of Bio-mass production in Missouri.

Data Center: Function 4 A large data center uses electrical power commensurate with an aluminum smelting operation.

Computing and storage expanding exponentially Virtualization and cloud computing driving computing to remote data centers. Data Centers: The New Utility 5 FYI: The five year forecast for energy predicts data centers will be consuming 2% to 5% of all power produced in the United States– the majority of the nation’s hydroelectric capacity. 12% - 18% Annual Demand Growth for next 5 years e nginuity Worldwide LLC
