OUR AD SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Our potential client base matched to our system

CONFIDENTIAL

Ideal Clients

• Small to Medium scale livestock farm (Pigs, Poultry, Dairy, Beef)

• Medium to Large scale fruit and vegetable growers

• Location near to existing 3 phase Electricity connection or sub station

• Continuous availability of feedstock throughout the year

Our approach

• Export Electricity between 100kWhr and 500kWhr

• Working with the farmer to size the plant to suite the farm

• Underground tanks reduce visual impact of the installation

• Underground tanks provide consistent thermal gradient

• Unique modular tank design

• Thermophilic anaerobic process to maximise gas production, minimise volume

of feedstock and produces bio fertiliser

• Automated and controllable system

Page 15: AT Renewables presentation on Anaerobic Digestion

OUR AD SYSTEM INPUT REQUIREMENTS

Animal Feedstock

CONFIDENTIAL

• Recommendation: 100% on-farm produced manure and slurry

• Additionally: 3% Glycerine with 6% Energy crop feedstock and water

Pigs

• Minimum number 1,000 head of finishers = 100kWh = income of £166,000 per yr

• Maximum number 6,500 head of finishers = 500kWh = income of £717,500 per yr

Cow (Dairy)

• Minimum number 200 head of herd = 100kWh

• Maximum number 1,500 head of herd = 500 kWh

o Income above excludes renewable heat incentive revenue stream

o The selective use of imported materials can increase BioGas yield and reduce the minimum number of livestock

Page 16: AT Renewables presentation on Anaerobic Digestion
