Anaerobic Digester Project

• LI Compost will apply prior experience to a new organic material – food waste

• First project will be located at LI Compost’s 62 acre site in Yaphank, NY utilizing anaerobic digestion technology proven for decades in Europe and elsewhere

• Sources of waste to include Long Island based restaurants, institutions, and grocery chains

• Expect to begin construction in early 2014 and place the project in service end of 2014 or first quarter 2015

Anaerobic Digester Project

• 160,000 tons of material annually to be treated using anaerobic digestion• 120,000 tons of food waste• 30,000 tons of FOG (fats, oils and

greases)• 10,000 tons of grass clipping

• Resulting biogas will be used to produce both electricity and CNG

• Biosolids will be integrated into LI Compost’s existing wholesale and retail bag products

AD Project Impact

• Enables waste stream that is currently transported to landfills 300-600 miles away to be treated locally• Reduces fuel consumption associated with

thousands of interstate tractor trailer trips per year – estimated to be 1.4 million miles/year

• Reduces emissions associated with the landfill process

• Represents a transformational method of handling solid waste, harvesting its latent energy content, and significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions

7

AD Project Impact

• Energy generated by project will meet 100% of AD project’s requirements AND be used by Long Island Compost to offset current consumption• Conversion of fleet (16 vehicles) and stationary

equipment to CNG will offset 375,000 gallons of diesel per year

• Existing electrical consumption of 455,000 kWh/year will be met by self generation from the AD project

• GHG emissions are expected to be reduced by a combined total of 40,626 tons of CO2 per year

• Expect to have approximately 50% of the total biogas production available for consumption by outside parties (approximately 1.0 million diesel gallon equivalents/year)
