• High contamination risk • Very low biomass concentration • High energy consumption • Fixed design
• High CAPEX • Shading impacts concentration • Need to circulate entire biomass • Temperature control needed
Tube & Flat panels
• Very high CAPEX • Not industrially scalable • Requires additional feedstock (sugar) • Food versus fuel debate

What makes Algasol’s floating PBR technology unique?
2014 www.algasol.com Page 7
- Frost & Sullivan press release, 20 August 2010.
“Algasol Renewables’ approach is expected to be the pioneer to achieve an economically and environmentally sustainable large-scale algae biofuels production,” says Frost & Sullivan Global Program Manager, Transportation Chemicals, Robert Outram.
“Algasol Renewables provides a critical and innovative method for micro algae biomass production. Its modular floating bag technology, a new variation of photobioreactors (PBRs), provides a low-cost design coupled with industrial scalability, optimal light exposure, high biomass concentration, low energy consumption, and efficient system control.”

Floating PBR technology with superior ILUC profile
2014 Page 8 www.algasol.com
• Algasol’s floating PBR technology
• Deployment directly in the ocean or in ponds on land (non-arable land)
ILUC?
• Corn ethanol
• Cellulosic ethanol
• Brazilian sugarcane ethanol

Competitive Advantages Summary
1. Universal Deployment: non-arable land (in ponds) and in the oceans
2. Lowest-Cost PBR: both CAPEX & OPEX; Industrial Scalability
3. High Yields and Concentrations: optimal light exposure (limited photo inhibition), efficient stirring, temperature control, internal aeration system
4. Resource Efficient: water, energy, nutrients, CO2, material components of technology
5. No Biofouling
6. Weather Protection System

Outstanding Micro Algae Biomass Yields & Concentrations
• Up to 100x greater biomass concentration than open ponds
• 2 to 3x greater biomass concentration than tube reactors
Business case
Business case

Highest Micro Algae Biomass Concentration
What determines biomass concentration (solid matter to total volume)?
• Light exposure, CO2 distribution, PBR (sub-unit) volume, type of micro algae etc.
Dewatering through centrifuging a significant cost factor
• Centrifuge capacity (CAPEX)
• Energy consumption (OPEX)
➥ 40x more water in open ponds than tube reactors
➥ 70% less water in Algasol PBR compared to tube reactors
➥ Business case target exceeded in Alga4 PBR
