1 Mini-to-Medium Scale LNG – A Profitable & Environmentally Sustainable Solution for Flared or Stranded Gas Matt BARCLAY Director, Energy Resources Group

2 Presentation overview The Agenda Introduction to Prometheus Energy Small-Scale LNG Production from Flare Gas or Non-Conventional Sources Applicable Purification & Liquefaction Requirements Why Small-to-Medium Scale Projects Work & What’s Driving the Market Niche LNG Market Opportunities & Future Demand Sources Summary & Conclusions

3 Prometheus Energy Company Company Background Vertically Integrated LNG Production and Supply Company – Design, Own, Operate LNG Project Development Capabilities – LNG Supply to Vehicle, Industrial and Utility Customers Non-Traditional LNG Supply Sources – Landfills, Coalmines, Associated Gas Wells & Digesters Corporate Offices in Seattle & London – Publicly Listed on London Stock Exchange (PEC.L)

4 What is small-to-medium scale LNG? An Overview of the Existing Market Numerous Small/Medium Scale LNG plants in operation around the world – Plants sized for 2.5-100M scf/d – Produce between 1/50th and 1/500th the capacity of global-scale liquefaction facilities – Niche Market Supply Focus Utility Peakshaving – Over 100 production/storage sites in US Other LNG Production Sources – NRU’s and/or Liquid Helium Plants – Non-Conventional LNG Plants (Prometheus)

5 Non-conventional Gas Source Comparision A Comparision of Component Concentations and Other Properties

6 Technologies For Gas Purification A Suite of Technologies Exist for Gas Clean Up Trace Contaminants – Filtration – Chilling; Phase change – Absorption Water Chemical Solutions Liquid CO 2 – Adsorption Activated Carbon/Zeolites Batch or Regenerative – TSA – PSA CO 2 Removal – Water scrubbing – Chemical Absorption Amines of various types Cold methanol – Adsorption (PSA) – Membrane – Cryogenic Distillation using ethane Freezing with sublimation Nitrogen Removal – Phase equilibria Batch or dynamic

7 Distributed Scale LNG Production A Solution for Otherwise Flared or Stranded Gas

8 Bowerman Landfill Gas-to-LNG Project Project Application: A 11M Scf/Day Flaring Reduction Project

9 Existing LNG Vehicle Markets The World LNG Vehicle Markets Continue to Grow Refuse Heavy Duty Fleet Mass Transit Paratransit & Shuttle Vans

10 Other Niche LNG Market Opportunites Existing Applications for LNG Utilization Propane & Heating Oil Displacement Residential supply Pipeline Outage Utility Peak-Load Shaving

16 Presentation Conclusion And Key Findings Where Does the Market Go from Here? Continued strong world-wide growth of LNG supply & demand – Market growth driven by economic & environmental factors Growing use of LNG in the transportation fuel market – New, much larger NGV markets for 400+ HP NG engines New global role for LNG produced from stranded or waste gas – Look for over 100 small/medium LNG projects to develop in next 10 years and for non-traditional sources of supply to play a significant role
