“The Ethical Obligation on the Part of the Private Owner is the Only Visible Remedy for Conservation.

The Land Ethic Simply Expands the Boundary of the Community to Include the Soils, Water, Plants and Animals.”

-Aldo LeopoldFather of Modern Conservation Management

Who's Responsibility is The Land Ethic?

Overview: Why BioMass?Gateway to Energy IndependenceThrough Biotic Interdependence

➲ Use and Nurture the Naturally Abundant & Rapidly Renewables and Waste BioMass on Sanctuary Belize

➲ Use Proven BioMass Gas Tech to Create Natural Gas for On-Site Generation of Power & Container Fuel (PGI: “DCDT”)

➲ Participate in the Natural Energy Cycle and Reduce Carbon Footprint with a Perpetual Fuel Source Supplying Is A Measurable Mode of Earning Carbon Credits

➲ Effectively Create Community Energy

BioMass - Sourced Energy Engaging the Carbon Cycle

GOAL OF CONCEPT

➲ GOAL: Deliver in approx. 90 days a BioGas 100kWa Energy Grid

➲ Pictured here is a full scale multi MW system requiring only 10000sf partial covered plant. A 100KW system requires only 2500 sf part covered slab. This diagram ilustrates the straightforward and compact systems involved.

Page 8: Energy 4 4_sanctuary_p_o_c

Plan of Action Turnkey a 100kW* Grid Connected Power

Able to deliver complete energy requirement for Office, Staff Lodging & Woodshop

• Harvest & Process Bamboo Existing on the Property to Fuel the Annual Requirement of BioMass. (requires 5 acres of bamboo)

• Demonstrate that Model can Produce on-site marketable electricity at a cost of $.10 per kWh, $.20-25 effective cost per kWh (unit).

• Demonstrate Added Value Marketing Potential for Green Equity, Brand Equity & CSR Reporting

*1MW = 1000Kw: Under non-severe weather conditions, one megawatt could power roughly 800

to 1,000 average-sized American homes. 100KW can service 8-10

Page 9: Energy 4 4_sanctuary_p_o_c

The Present Situation➲ A Sample House at Sanctuary Belize consumed

1120 units (kWh) in one month.➲ Sanctuary Belize purchases electric energy from

Belize for $.22USD per kWh. The utility for the sample house is $543 for the month.

➲ Or SB could make energy for $.10USD per kWh a savings of $431

➲ Sanctuary Belize has an Estimated 10000 Tons of feedstock waste mass & renewable bamboo

➲ Sanctuary Belize has Carbon +➲ Waste Timber, Lot Waste

➲ Construction Waste, Household Waste

➲ Seaweed, Leaf Litter, grasses, off-gas renewables

Page 10: Energy 4 4_sanctuary_p_o_c

➲ Development To Date: Field Study Found Abundant Bamboo and BioMass Onsite Biomass is a Natural Capital Carbon Sink PGI Developed BioMass & Alternate Energy Tech In

US, India and Cambodia Work Order for Pilot Project Awarded to PGI

➲ Important background information: Thousands of BioMass Fuel Systems are Serving

Homes, Business and Major Industry Worldwide. BioMass Fuel is Appropriate Tech when fuel is readily

available such is the case at Sanctuary Belize. Sanctuary Belize could be leveraging CSR as a global

marketing tool for brand equity, goodwill and ethical consumers. (ie SEC, Bloomberg and Reuters now scoring companies Enviro/Social/Governance (ESG) metrics) http://blogs.hbr.org/leadinggreen/2009/05/is-esg-data-going-mainstream.html)

Bamboos, growing thick, standing single–put all your roots together and all is well in the mountains and rivers.” Sengai, 19th century Japanese Zen Master

EROSION CONTROL

Bamboo provides excellent erosion control and check because of its extensive interlocking rhizomes or root systems, which bind together 85% of the soil approximately one foot below the surface where it is planted.

Water and Soil Mgt

FAO prescribes live bamboo and bamboo jetties to prevent scouring at river bends (punta diamante)

CARBON DRAWDOWN: Dr. Etelvino Novotny at a Terra Preta site in Brazil

In addition to high organic matter contents, Amazonian Dark Earths are characterized by high P contents reaching 200-400 mg P/kg, and higher cation exchange capacity, pH and base saturation than surrounding soils (Sombroek, 1966; Liang et al., 2006). These soils are therefore highly fertile (Lehmann et al., 2003). Fallows on the Amazonian Dark Earths can be as short as 6 months, whereas fallow periods on Oxisols are usually 8 to 10 years long (German and Cravo, 1999).

The Renewable Story

• Original forecasts which turned out to be wrong:

IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES Wind and Solar turned out to be Costly per kW, Tech Complex, Maintenance Prone, Susceptible

Original forecasts which turned out to be true:• Off-the-Shelf Durable and Existing BioMass Tech Can

be Converted to Clean Fuel Burners

• Agrarian Developing Countries have abundant Fue Stocks for Biogasification

• Low GHG and High Carbon Credit Incentives

• Scarcity of Fossil Fuel Energy Increases

Levelized Cost:

• Wind $ 83 p/MWh

• Solar $144 p/MWh

• Hydro $ 77 p/MWh

• Biomass $ 56 p/MWh *US EIA 2010

Potential Alternatives➲ Alternative strategies

Remain on Dependent Grid and Suffer Price Shocks Invest In Costly High Tech With Slow Break Even/ROI Allow Others to Manage Alternative Fuel Upstream Allow Sustainable Natural Capital to Remain Locked in Land

Instead of Our Three Bottom Line Plan (Biotic Cycle) Lost Development Value Addition of Carbon Trading & Finance

➲ Pros and Cons of each strategy

Solar Is “Free Fuel” only if CapEx, Land Space and Maintenance Not Weighed*

Wind Can Be Geo-Fickle, Prone to Disaster Damage BioFuel Follows a Natural Energy Cycle, is a Renewable

Resource, Promotes Soil Resilience and is a Carbon Capture PROFIT Center

➲ 100kW produced is $60,000 overhead reduction*The 1 MW photovoltaic solar installation by Gap Inc's Western Distribution Center in Fresno, CA

required five acres, cost $7 million, and took 6 months to build
