Entrepreneurship for a Zero Carbon Society
  • Entrepreneurs use a founders leadership to
    marshal resources to a particular goal economic,
    social or political
  • Entrepreneurs provide a vision, coalesce a team,
    and manage the process
  • Entrepreneurs usually deal with limited or Just
    in Time resources
  • They live on the right side of the risk/reward
    curve
  • Speed of decision making and time to market are
    inherent advantages of this type of leadership
  • Can entrepreneurs succeed in a big capital,
    lobbyist, geo-political, and massive problem, and
    opportunity afforded by the challenge of zero
    carbon society?
  • Can Carbon Sciences technology help recycle CO2?

Introduction
  • Breakthrough Technology
  • Carbon Sciences, Inc. is developing a
    breakthrough technology to transform harmful
    carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from human created
    sources, such as power plants and industrial
    factories, into high value, earth-friendly
    products.
  • Near Term Target Market
  • The initial application of our patent-pending
    technology is targeted at a multi-billion dollar
    market. We are developing a proprietary process
    to transform CO2 emissions into a high value
    chemical compound, currently used in the
    manufacture of paper, pharmaceuticals and
    plastics. Unlike existing methods of production,
    our process will be carbon neutral, use less
    energy and result in a lower cost product.
  • Long Term Massive Market
  • Our business strategy is to transform CO2
    emissions into various high value products for
    existing markets. This strategy allows us to
    achieve business success without waiting for
    effective governmental legislation limiting CO2
    emissions. As CO2 emissions become more heavily
    regulated in the future, we will be
    well-positioned to capitalize on other business
    opportunities in the massive global CO2
    mitigation market. By transforming CO2 into
    carbon products for use in building materials,
    paper, plastics and fertilizers, and fuel our
    patent-pending technology will help create
    environmentally friendly products and industries.

CO2 Emissions and the Carbon Economy
  • CO2 levels today are the highest in 400,000 years
    causing climate change
  • Global industrialization has been and will
    continue to grow dramatically
  • Massive amounts of CO2 will continue to be
    emitted from industrial applications
  • CO2 emitting energy sources such as coal, natural
    gas and petroleum will continue to power many
    sectors of the global economy
  • 78 to 98 of new generating capacity between now
    and 2050 will be fossil fuel based (OECD/IEA)
  • CO2 emissions from non-energy related industries,
    such as paper and cement will continue to grow
  • CO2 emissions can be mitigated in an economically
    viable manner

Legislation and Investments in CO2 Mitigation
  • CO2 mitigation is a difficult international and
    national political agenda
  • State of California passed the Global Warming
    Solutions Act of 2006 (AB32) mandating reduction
    of CO2 emissions
  • Kyoto Protocol sets CO2 emissions caps for 190
    countries (2005 2012)
  • DOEs 2009 Office of Fossil Energy budget
    included 241 million to fund the demonstration
    of carbon mitigation technologies for coal-fired
    power plants
  • CO2 mitigation technology for large CO2 emitters
    such as coal fired powered plants will take years
    to develop and implement
  • Projected market size for CO2 mitigation
    technology by 2030 is 400 billion (OECD/IEA)

8
Limited Solutions
  • Carbon Credits
  • The Kyoto Protocol sets 'caps' or quotas on the
    maximum amount of greenhouse gases that each
    participating country can produce
  • High polluters can buy the right to pollute from
    non-polluters
  • This is ineffective because developing countries
    like China and India will continue to grow and
    emit CO2
  • Carbon Storage
  • Fossil fuel power plants are proposing to pump
    CO2 into the ground or ocean floor for storage
  • Unknown long term environmental problems
  • We may be trading one problem for another
  • The ongoing cost of monitoring and managing the
    buried CO2 is infinite
  • This is an early stage technology with no
    commercial deployment

A Solution
  • Carbon Transformation
  • CO2 resulting from human industrialization can be
    combined with rock minerals to form carbonate
    products such as calcium carbonate, magnesium
    carbonate and others
  • These carbonate products can be used in
    industrial applications such as
  • Building materials Paper
  • Soil remediation Paint
  • Plastics Road fillers
  • By transforming CO2, into a useful products, we
    believe this approach is economically viable and
    actively reduces CO2 emissions

  • PCC manufactured using the process can be used
    directly in existing PCC applications

17
Carbon Sciences-PCC Advantages
  • Traditional PCC
  • Expensive raw materials - high quality lime (75
    per ton)
  • Cost of raw materials will increase over time
  • Energy intensive process
  • Carbon Positive - CO2 emitted in the production
    process
  • Carbon Sciences PCC Advantages
  • Inexpensive raw material
  • CO2 ( 0)
  • Waste materials from mining operations ( 0)
  • Energy efficient process
  • Carbon Neutral - CO2 captured in the production
    process
  • Potential for carbon credit subsidies to further
    reduce PCC cost

18
Carbon Sciences Reducing the Carbon Footprint
of Paper
  • Paper production is a major consumer of energy, a
    major cause of CO2 emissions AND the largest
    consumer of PCC. The industry is under tremendous
    customer and social pressure to reduce their
    carbon footprint.
  • A paper mill with an integrated Carbon Sciences
    PCC plant can transform its own CO2 emissions
    into PCC for immediate use in paper production.
  • The active recycling of CO2 is a breakthrough
    approach to reducing the carbon footprint of
    highly carbon positive operations like paper
    mills.

21
New initiative for hyper-growth
  • Apply what weve developed to transform CO2
    emissions into the basic fuel building blocks
    required to produce gasoline, diesel fuel, jet
    fuel and other fuels
  • Innovate at the intersection of chemical
    engineering and bio-engineering disciplines, to
    develop a scalable bio/catalytic process to meet
    the fuel needs of the world
  • Due to its high reactivity, carbon atoms do not
    usually exist in a pure form, but as parts of
    other molecules
  • Hydrocarbons are naturally occurring in fuel
    sources such as petroleum and natural gas
  • Gasoline hydrocarbons contain 7 to 10 carbon
    atoms and jet fuel has 10 to 16 carbon atoms

22
Conventional CO2 to Fuel
  • CO2 is one of the most stable molecules requiring
    a great deal of energy to break apart CO2
  • This high energy requirement has made CO2 to fuel
    transformation technologies uneconomical in the
    past
  • CO2-to-Fuel transformation has been approached by
    direct photolysis which uses intense light energy
    to break off the oxygen atoms in CO2, or
    chemically reacting CO2 gas with hydrogen to
    create methane or methanol.
  • These conventional engineering approaches require
    immense energy due to the high pressure and high
    temperature chemical processes
  • In certain applications such as military and
    space, the high cost of these technologies may be
    justifiable
  • We do not believe these approaches will be
    economically viable in creating transportation
    fuels for global consumption.

23
Innovation in CO2 to Fuel
  • By innovating at the intersection of chemical
    engineering and bio-engineering, our scientist
    have discovered a low energy and scalable process
    to transform large quantities of CO2 into gaseous
    and liquid fuels.
  • The key to our CO2-to-Fuel approach lies in a
    proprietary multi-step bio/catalytic process.
  • Instead of using expensive inorganic catalysts,
    such as zinc, gold or zeolite, with traditional
    catalytic chemical processes, the Carbon Sciences
    process uses less expensive renewable organics to
    catalyze certain chemical reactions required to
    transform CO2 into basic hydrocarbon building
    blocks.
  • Of greatest significance, our process occurs at
    low temperature and low pressure, thereby
    requiring far less energy than other approaches.
  • The biocatalyst employed in each step of the
    process serves to create an intermediate
    carbon-infused compound that can be acted on by
    the next step with less energy.
  • At the end of the process, the various
    carbon-infused compounds are assembled into basic
    hydrocarbons such as C1 (one carbon atom e.g.
    methane), C2 (two carbon atoms e.g. ethane) and
    C3 (three carbon atoms e.g. propane).

Carbon Sciences CO2 to Fuel
  • Scalable CO2-to-Fuel Transformation Plant
  • The Carbon Sciences CO2-to-Fuel technology
    includes a plant level process that takes CO2
    from a large emitter, such as a power plant, and
    produces usable fuels as the output.
  • When complete the process would include the
    following major components
  • CO2 Flue Gas Processor Crude purification of
    CO2 stream to remove heavy particulates. This
    Carbon Science process does not require high
    purity CO2, hence low cost CO2 capture and
    processing.
  • Biocatalyst Unit Regeneration of biocatalysts
    for the CO2 transformation process.
  • Biocatalytic Reactor Matrix The primary and
    largest part of the plant where mass quantities
    of biocatalysts work in a matrix of liquid
    reaction chambers, performing the multi-stage
    breakdown of CO2 and its transformation to basic
    gas and liquid hydrocarbons. These reactors are
    low temperature and low pressure vessels. The
    number of reactors determines the size and output
    capacity of the plant.
  • Filtration - The liquid solutions are filtered
    through membrane units to extract liquid fuels.
    Gaseous fuels are extracted through condensers.
  • Conversion and Polishing The output of the
    Filtration stage contains low hydrocarbon fuels
    e.g. C1-C3. These hydrocarbons can be processed
    into higher fuels, such as gasoline and jet fuel,
    through commercially available catalytic
    converters.
  • The Carbon Sciences CO2-to-Fuel process can be
    configured to produce a variety of hydrocarbon
    fuels by customizing the Conversion and Polishing
    Unit and biocatalytic formulation
