Over 65 million litres delivered for process heat

New: RTP Renewable Fuel Oil (RFO)

“Conditioned” RTP liquid fuel for broad industrial use (ASTM Standard)

For heat, replacing LFO and HFO in existing boilers

For power, as a fuel for stationary diesels

Fuels – what we have today

Page 11: RTP Renewable Fuel Oil (RFO) - Platts Renewable Fuel Oil Production Cost (Inc. OPEX, Recovery of Capital + 10% Return on Capital) Summary Ensyn & RTP: a unique, patented thermal conversion

Multiple commercial RFO demonstrations in an array of different boilers - Hosted at boiler sites of Ensyn’s partners & customers

Development of plug-and -play RFO fuel delivery system and burner nozzles

Most recent – Crane & Co. Inc., Byron Weston Power Plant facility, Dalton Massachusetts

Honeywell-sponsored political and media event

RFO – broad commercial demonstration

Page 12: RTP Renewable Fuel Oil (RFO) - Platts Renewable Fuel Oil Production Cost (Inc. OPEX, Recovery of Capital + 10% Return on Capital) Summary Ensyn & RTP: a unique, patented thermal conversion

Demonstrated in 15 MMBtu/h “Boiler #1” at Crane’s Byron Weston power plant (LFO, HFO and Nat Gas)

10,000 BTU/h steam (540G / 390 psig)
