2. So what are we building?

3. Quasar Facility – .25 acre – 300K gallons Gas Membrane Digestion Tank Containerized Support Equipment Specifications: Complete Mix (30 day HRT) 100% Automated Mesophilic (100 degrees F) 3 year performance guarantee

4. Simplified Anaerobic Digestion Process Manure SSO SSO SSO SSO Processing Farm AD System Electricity/Heat Digested Fiber Recycled Fertilizer

5. The Anaerobic Digestion Approval Environment Manure SSO SSO SSO SSO Processing Farm AD System Electricity/Heat Digested Fiber Recycled Fertilizer DEP DEP MDAR DEP MDAR/APR NRCS NRCS DPU NGrid DEP Muni

7. Benefits of Anaerobic Digestion Deployment Host Farm - Reduced energy cost (electricity and heat) - Reduced manure odor/pathogen load w/ increased inorganic nitrogen content - Recycled nutrients for field fertilization - Animal bedding - New Farm Income Local Community - Renewable power produced for export at high efficiency - Preservation and creation of local jobs - Reduced manure spreading odor - Recycled nutrients available for local agriculture - Preservation of agricultural heritage The Commonwealth - Diversion of organic materials from landfills - Helps meet state renewable power goals - Attracts clean tech technology development Our World Community - Reduces greenhouse gas emissions

8. Challenges – Juggling Many Parties Farms Organics Energy Funding Utilities Attributes Workable net metering or feed-in tariff Sale of excess electricity at close to retail Short turn around for equity Not bundled with energy Cash Market Scrape facilities Use, or willing to switch to organic bedding Truck Access (25 ton loads) 3 phase power service Existing heat demand and waste heat user 350-1,000 cows, or ability to aggregate Existing waste hauler Allowances and incentives for organic waste diversion Market size and current Cost of disposal Fields with slight or no slope Desire to control odor or environmental challenge Proximity Grant Programs Equipment/ Construction Equity and Loans Interconnection requirement Bonds Equity Sources Long term utility contract Co-products Organic fertilizer market Soil amendment market

9. US Dairy Farms vs Digester Deployment Slide

10. Goal of AGreen Energy – Smaller facilities, more output Existing Sites - Vermont Herd kW (const.) kW / Cow Blue Spruce Farm 950 148 .16 Green Mountain Dairy 1,050 208 .20 Montagne Farms 680 159 .23 Berkshire Cow Power, LLC 1,500 399 .27 Maxwell’s Neighborhood Energy, LLC 850 199 .23 Gervais Family Farm 950 89 .09 AgStar Average (Plugflow) 1,809 388 .20 AgStar Average (Complete Mix) 1,069 325 .29 Proposed CM w/ food waste system 350 210 .60

11. Hof Oegens – 185kW, model facility Important Characteristics -Small herd (120 cows from two herds) -Large amount of non-manure substrate -Use of waste heat for ag purposes -Commercial site

14. How Much? Going from One to Five Farms: Project Challenge First Farm: All Set, Operational in 2010 Project Funding – One Farm Grants 1,050,000 Other Equity 800,000 Loan 900,000 Total: $2,750,000 Loan Guarantees 1,800,000 Project Spending – One Farm Equipment 2,200,000 Fees 550,000 Total: $2,750,000
