Envirepel Energy, Inc. (“Envirepel” or the “Company”) was founded in 2004 to design, develop,own and operate waste-to-energy (“WTE”) renewable energy facilities for the production ofelectricity and renewable fuels

The Company’s proprietary combustion and emission control systems are designed andengineered in a manner that has enabled it to obtain the required construction and operatingpermits to build new biofuel waste to energy facilities under the State of California’s stringent airquality regulations

• First company in the State of California to obtain air permits for the construction of a new WTE facilityin 20 years

In the Spring of 2007, the Company constructed a full-scale research combustion system that hasoperated for over two years on feedstock, including biomass, tires and plastics

• Discharge Air emissions from testing show emission levels less than 10% of competing technologies

Construction and commissioning of the first commercial facility, Kittyhawk, is nearly complete• Air Permit authorizing construction and commissioning has been obtained

• Final Operating Air permit testing to start within six months of facility commissioning

• Signed PPA with San Diego Gas & Electric (“SDG&E”), a Sempra Energy company

• Biomass supply secured

• Approximately 120 days to fully commission

Executive Summary

Electricity produced by the Company, satisfies SDG&E’s requirement to source or produceelectricity that meets the Renewable Portfolio Standard (“RPS”) green energy purchase standardset by the California Public Utilities Commission (“PUC”).

Natural Gas Biofuels produced by the Company also qualify under RPS green standards whenpurchased by SGD&E to fire existing natural gas plants; the CO2 produced does not count asincremental CO2

Company Overview

Founded to solve local environmental and energy problems by converting waste streams intoclean forms of energy

Facility concept was engineered and designed in a manner that affords the Company the ability toobtain required building and air permits, while also complying with stringent environmentalregulations

Strategic relationships across the value chain• SDG&E – PPAs• Allied Waste – biomass supply• Milbank, Tweed, Hadley McCloy LLP – retained transaction counsel• HDR Engineering – civil engineers• RQ Construction – construction

Strong pipeline with 407 MWs of projects at various stages of development in Southern California

Experienced management team and Board of Directors

Headquartered in Vista, California

Strategy and Value Creation

Following completion of Kittyhawk, the Company’s primary goal is to deliver electricity at a highconversion efficiency to SDG&E and comply with or exceed all air emission and environmentalstandards at the local and state level

• CO2 emissions (exempt for biomass in cap & trade) capture for conversion into fuel by-products willbe added thereafter

The Company plans to develop, own and operate a portfolio of WTE facilities in SouthernCalifornia

• Capable of obtaining additional air and building permits and PPAs• Strong development pipeline of both Company-owned and co-owned projects with strategic partners• Project sites include metropolitan landfills, business parks and agricultural locations

- Facility size is designed to accommodate accessible waste tonnage- Avoided cost of energy is approximately 80% of alternatives creating an incentive for SDG&E

Following this financing and completion of Kittyhawk, the Company will be required to raiseadditional equity and debt to fund Vista II and additional projects in the pipeline. Sources wouldinclude project equity and debt and potentially revenue bonds issued pursuant to California’sPollution Control Tax-Exempt Bond Financing Program (allocation from State is approved)

The Company will seek to broaden its geographic presence by licensing its WTE facility conceptto partners with national and global presence

Why is “Make a Gas, Burn a Gas Important?

Combustion

Infra-red radiation from the superheated ceramics releases water from the fuel along with othergases from fuel feedstock. IR radiation from ceramics also will separate hydrogen from oxygenfrom the water in the fuel. The hydrogen gas in the combustion process prevents the majorbuilding blocks of traditional regulated pollution compounds such as NOx, SOx, and HC fromforming, resulting in a clean exhaust which can be permitted under today’s air permitting rules

Gasification

Low emissions result from the conversion of solid biomass to a gas,then burning the gas and not the solid

Fuel

Steam

Burn

Make a Gas, Burn a Gas – Gasification / Combustion Hybrid

Whyis it

Clean?

The indirect conversion of solid fuel to a gas prior to the combustion of thegas using infrared radiant energy allows for specific chemical reactions totake place in a controlled environment that minimizes pollutant formation

Envirepel has demonstrated that it can obtainpermits to build and operate WTE facilitiesin Southern California

• Building and operating permits obtained for Kittyhawk

Facilities designed to be permitted and operated inurban locations and adjacent to landfillswithout grid inter-connection issues

Facilities designed using a common 7.5 MWfacility module that can be replicated in multipleidentical units

• Scale achieved through the addition of a standard7.5 MW facility module (e.g., building a train)

- 60 MW facility represents eight 7.5 MW facilities- Minimizes commercialization risk

• Standardization of equipment and O&M across all facilities

3-D CAD modeling of each facility completed and thoroughlyexamined prior to start of construction

Major facility components supplied from a variety of vendorsand assembled on site by general contractors or EPCs

Test Cell Unit – Emission Testing

Envirepel has operated a full-scale research combustion system for over two years to evaluate variousfeedstock and associated emissions performance

• Built on common module methodology- Test cell unit runs one production size combustion cylinder; Kittyhawk has three combustion cylinders

• Feedstock include municipal solid waste, plastics, tires, compost and green waste

The Combustion system demonstrated that indirect combustion (make a gas, then burn the gas) design of thesystem delivered consistent and significantly lower emissions than comparable incineration, plasma arc, orother gasification systems for multiple feed stocks

Complies with the Federal Standard, AP42 calculations needed to obtain air permits• AR42 is the primary national and regional standard

Market Overview

Federal and numerous state laws considerWTE a renewable energy source

Currently around 90 WTE facilities exist inthe U.S., which produce approximately2,500 MW, or 0.3%, of national powergeneration

U.S. WTE facilities generated approximately$440 million in revenue in 2008

Growth has been constrained due todifficulty in obtaining permits

• Environmental laws have become morestringent since WTE facilities were firstintroduced in the 1980s

• Legacy WTE facilities are not permittabletoday

Market participants include CovantaEnergy, Foster Wheeler and WheelabratorTechnologies
