agnion's technology addresses and resolves the critical challenges:
Economic efficiency
Supply guarantee
Fuel flexibility
CO2 – reduction
Energy production for base- and peak load
Produces electricity, heat methane and H2 methane at 80 % efficiency
and low LCOE
agnion's heat pipe reformer runs at 97% availability
High flexibility of various bio-feedstock (wood, grass, dung, ...)
High availability of biomass in almost all regions
The breakthrough in decentralized energy production

With a novel approach to gasification
Conventional gasification agnion Heat Pipe Reformer
4 4
The agnion heatpipe-reformer produces a pure gas, free of flue gas and nitrogen
© agnion Technologies GmbH | 2012 5
Based on proprietary heat pipes
Heat transfer increased by a factor of 20 compared
to heat exchangers – resulting in 30%+ electricity
efficiency & usable high temperature heat
Enables all thermal gasification with high heat flux
densities avoiding movement of materials –
resulting in high quality syngas and ability to
accept large variety of feedstock
Capable of reliably operating at very high
temperatures (800°C)
Protected by various patents and know how.

World wide biomass potential is tremendous
8
75% of available biomass resource in the world
is wasted today.
This wasted biomass represents a potential of
700 GWel and 1,100 GWheat which can meet
35% of world electricity and heating demand1
This equals a CO2 – reduction of
5,000 Mt/a
Annual Market potential of 35 GWel - €190B/a
or 115,000 agnion plants at a 100% conversion
and 20 years lifetime *Source: BMVBS 2010/11 and agnion Internal Analysis
Notes: Current worldwide annual electric demand is18,000TWhel/a heating, 27,000TWhth
