Competitive Advantages – Market Overview

The Coal to Biomass Opportunity:

Solid biofuels, fuels from biomass or renewable waste feedstock, are by far the largest renewable energy source and will play a pivotal role advancing a low-carbon future.

The Arterran pellet fuel offers significant benefits to coal consumers:  Drop-in replacement to coal, transports, handles, burns better, is water resistant, grinds better and stores like coal.

Arterran has the highest energy content of any renewable coal replacement fuel in the marketplace today.  Our process allows us to control the energy density of our product, more energy density than wood pellets, torrefied or steam exploded pellets.

Arterran Advanced Fuel (AAF) has the potential to:

• Life cycle of carbon emissions > 80% compared to coal.
• Higher energy content fuel than a white wood pellet.
• Water resistant pellet fuel which sharply lowers the cost transport/storage of conventional pellets.
• Industry lowest delivered cost/Gj renewable fuel.
• Minimal power station modifications to receive, store, grind and inject Arterran’s pellet product.
