This presentation contains forward-looking information that involves various risks and uncertainties regarding future events. Suchforward-looking information can include without limitation statements based on current expectations involving a number of risksand uncertainties and are not guarantees of future performance of the Company, such as final development of a commercialproduct(s), successful trial or pilot of company technologies, no assurance that commercial sales of any kind actually materialize;no assurance the Company will have sufficient funds to complete product development. There are numerous risks anduncertainties that could cause actual results and the Company’s plans and objectives to differ materially from those expressed inthe forward-looking information, including: (i) adverse market conditions; (ii) risks regarding protection of proprietary technology;(iii) the ability of the Company to complete financings; (v) the ability of the Company to develop and market its future product;and (vi) risks regarding government regulation, managing and maintaining growth, the effect of adverse publicity, litigation,competition and other factors which may be identified from time to time in the Company's public announcements and filings.There is no assurance that the DTCR business will provide any benefit to the Company, and no assurance that any proposed newproducts will be built or proceed. There is no assurance that existing “patent pending” technologies licensed by the Company willreceive patent status by regulatory authorities. The Company is not currently selling commercial Energy Storage systems. Actualresults and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information. These and all subsequent written andoral forward-looking information are based on estimates and opinions of management on the dates they are made and areexpressly qualified in their entirety by this notice. Except as required by law, the Company does not intend to update theseforward-looking statements.

Disruptive technologies are emerging in the power sector

What is a Battery?
A device capable of storing electrical energy in the form of
chemical energy and convert that energy into electricity.
Batteries

Why are batteries needed?
Without batteries, solar panels and wind turbines become
useless when the sun doesn’t shine, and the wind doesn’t
blow. Batteries allow to use electricity whenever needed,
not only when it is generated.

Introduction to Zinc8 Energy’s technology
The Zinc-Air Flow Battery from Zinc8 Energy Solutions is an energy storage solution designed to serve a wide range of long-duration applications for microgrids and utilities.
Our patented design and robust chemistry makes our system the most cost-effective, safest, and most flexible long-duration storage solution. The RFC system has a modular architecture that can be sized from 20 kW to the order of megawatts.
3. Whenever power is needed, the zinc particles are delivered to the Power Stack,recombining them with oxygen to generate electricity. The zinc oxide (ZnO) by-product isreturned to the storage tank for later regeneration.
1. Power from the grid or renewable source is used to generate zinc particles in the ZincRegenerator. Oxygen is released to the atmosphere as a by-product.
2. The zinc particles are flowed to the Storage Tank and maintained in potassium hydroxide(KOH) electrolyte until required.

Durable. Zero capacity fade over extensive lifetime
Robust. Full discharge cycles. Same performance.
Low cost. The longer the duration requirements, the lower the cost per kWh
Safe. Non-flammable and non-toxic
Sustainable growth. Stable supply chains for mass manufacturing

By decoupling the linkage between
power and energy, and using low-cost,
abundant materials, our system is
capable of reducing its capital cost
dramatically for longer-duration
applications.
Improved OperationsHelp optimize operations of diesel or natural gas gensets, reducing wear-and-tear and operating costs.
Peak ManagementReduce grid capacity needs during peak periods.
Load ShiftingBuy and store electricity at off-peak price to sell at peak price.
Curtailment avoidanceAvoid output curtailment at peak generation times and prevent loss of energy production.
Non-Spinning ReserveProvide fast ramp-rate to meet grid requirement for online dispatch within a short delay of operating reserve.
Back-UpMaintain grid resilience in the event of an outage.
Renewable Energy DispatchControl renewable energy generation according to market needs or at request of power grid operators.
Increase Penetration of RenewablesStore renewable energy production for peak and base load consumption.
