1 Gas Engine Lubrication Opportunities for Archer Lubricants Biomass Digestion, Landfill and Clean Gas Applications

2 Market Emerging Market in our own backyard…

3

4 Market The Renewable Gas Engine Market grows with the population.

5 Competition What’s the difference?

6 Market Small compared to overall NGEO Market, but important differences…

7 Renewable GEO Market

8 Value Proposition Proven Value for the Customer…

9 OEMs GUASCOR – Smaller engines, commonly used in landfill applications – Currently in trial, successful so far GE Jenbacher – Most common in biomass digestion Caterpillar Cummins, Wartsila, Deutz, MAN, RR, MTU etc… GUASCOR – Smaller engines, commonly used in landfill applications – Currently in trial, successful so far GE Jenbacher – Most common in biomass digestion Caterpillar Cummins, Wartsila, Deutz, MAN, RR, MTU etc… All require a field trial or some sort of approval.

10 Guascor 150kW to 1240kW

11 Jenbacher 250kW to 4.4MW

12 Caterpillar

13 Where to find them www.epa.gov/agstar Locate anaerobic digestion projects and waste management facilities Examine the potential for growth in the agriculture sector Identify and compare investments made in renewable energy resources View state-level data to compare incentives, policies, investments, standards and emissions

15 Where to find them www.epa.gov/agstar Market Opportunitieswww.epa.gov/agstar

16 Relevant Questions How many engines does the site have? Inquire about the specific engines used to obtain engine Information –Manufacturers –Model Numbers –Serial Numbers –How old are the engines? –How long can they run between rebuilds? Does the site have an analysis of the gas composition? If so, ask for a copy of the analysis.

17 Relevant Questions What oil are they using now? –What’s current oil drain interval? –What parameter are they using to set their oil drain interval? TBN, TAN, metals, etc. –How much make up oil are they adding? (weekly or daily quantity per engine) Some engines may require more make-up. Determine what operator will value: extend drain interval, reduced make-up oil, reduced down time.

18 Timeline June –Finishing trial at feedlot with Guascor engine –Video Testimonial July –Creation of collateral materials –Incorporate into training –Obtain additive

19 Timeline August/September –Distributor/Dealer Training –Product Launch Announcement October –Distributor/Dealer Training –Newsletter Article November –New Product Launch –Advertising

20 Questions or Comments?

21 Why do we need different oils for different fuel sources? Biomass gas and landfill gas are much dirtier than clean methane extracted from the ground The impurities are much more acidic Require “medium ash” in Bio and Landfill, “low ash” in clean applications Landfill gas has the additional problem of a much more diverse and variable impurities content. Cow poop is pretty consistent.
