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?
4Introduction
- 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.

6CO2 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

7Legislation 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)
8Limited 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

18Carbon 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.

21New 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
22Conventional 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.
23Innovation 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).

25Carbon 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
