Accelerating Growth using Dissolved CO2 800%+ Leaf CO2 Conductance and Stoma Porosity

The dramatic conductance increase is due to dissolved CO2 gas entering the entire leaf surface area while only leaf stoma pores absorb gaseous CO2

Highest Value Indoors & Outdoors – Cannabis Buds

• A 1M sq. ft cannabis greenhouse grows 5 crops/year at $100M/crop. Our CO2 foliar spray cannabis grow trials add 1 crops/year with larger bud weight and faster plant growth.

• Potential of extra $100M/year revenue from 1M sq. ft. cannabis greenhouse. • Outdoor cannabis has one crop/year so value target is 25% more bud weight grown faster.

BOC’s Exclusive CO2 Gas Infusion PatentsBest Outdoor Value Areas and Crops For CO2 Foliar

• Best outdoor CO2 foliar spray value in North America is in arid California, Arizona, Southern British Columbia and Southern Alberta

• Best crops for outdoor CO2 foliar spray are cannabis, hemp, lettuce, tobacco, spinach, cabbage, potatoes, sugar beets, flowers and cotton

BOC’s Exclusive CO2 Gas Infusion PatentsBest Indoor Value Crops Using CO2 Foliar

• Best indoor CO2 foliar spray value in North America – microgreens, flowers, plugs• All typically use boom spraying for some / all of their irrigation cycles• Best “low hanging” fruit for CO2 GRO revenue generation

BOC’s Exclusive CO2 Gas Infusion PatentsUrban Ag Grow Containers With CO2 Foliar

• Urban Ag production growing at 5%+/year• CO2 GRO is in discussions with a number of potential Urban Ag partners• Significant arising IP and licensing opportunities to be shared with Ag partners like Growcer• Elon Musk: “there will be a grow container on every large roof in New York City”

Dissolved CO2 Saves Big $$

CO2 gas dissolved at 1300 ppm stays in water with little off-gassing but at 1300 ppm gassed, 60% of CO2 gassing is lost (OMAFRA)

CO2 foliar spray use yields 20% more plant value than CO2 gassing, saves $150k-

$300K/year in CO2 gas cost AND is safer for workers

1M Sq. Ft. Greenhouse CO2 Foliar Spray vs CO2 Gassing

A 1M sq. ft greenhouse uses 3,000 MT of CO2/year for 33% added plant growth

CO2 gassing costs $300K-$600K/y so 60% CO2 gassing losses cost $180K - $360K/y
