Biogreen Sustainable Energy Co.

• Rob Broberg President/CEO
• St Helens, OR
• A small town company with small town values
• Biogreen is committed to renewable energy using
  biomass products

3
Proposed Project

• Biogreen is proposing a 200,000PPH Wood-Fired
  Steam Generation System with a 19.8MW Electrical
  Power Plant
• The proposed site is in the La Pine Industrial
  Park directly across from the Waste Water
  Treatment Plant

4
Project Specifications

• Plant requires 10 acres of property
• Plant will employ 20 people directly and up to
  90 indirectly
• Plant will generate 19.8MW of electricity
• Plant will generate 200,000PPH Steam
• Plant will consume 150,000 BDT of woody biomass
  material or 280,000 green tons
• Plant requires approximately 300 GPM water
• Discharge water approximately 50 GPM

5
Facility Components

• 50,000sqft enclosed fuel storage building
• 10,000sqft Boiler building with 91 tall heat
  exhaust stack
• 2,000sqft Water pre-treatment building
• Biomass fuel truck dumping station
• Covered fuel conveyors
• Offices

Generated and Required Electricity

• Biogreen will sell power to a power company or
  broker
• Biogreen will develop a relationship with
  Midstate Electric Coop
• Biogreen will require approximately 1MW
  electricity to power plant

12
Steam

• A steam partner is important to the project
• Biogreen wishes to promote the remaining 66 acres
  of the La Pine Industrial Park, in cooperation
  with the city of La Pine, to develop possible
  steam partners
• Possible partners sawmill, greenhouse facility,
  wood pellet plant, any large facility requiring
  building heat (warehouse, office building)

13
Biomass

• Biogreen has partners and contracts with
  suppliers for the biomass fuel required
• At this time most fuels are being removed from
  private timber lands
• This project will allow partner wood recyclers to
  bid on USFS thinning or stewardship programs

14
Biomass Fuel
15
Biomass fuels include wood residuals such as

• Forest residuals
• Small trees undergrowth
• Slash piles
• Thinnings
• Urban wood waste
• Construction Material
• Yard Debris
• Agricultural waste
• Orchard removals / trimmings
• Rice hulls
• Fruit pits

- Biomass Power Assoc., 2009
16
Biomass power plants remove 67 million tons of
forest residuals annually reducing the threat of
forest fires

Producing Renewable Energy

Sustainable forests create an endless supply of

Water

• Hoping to use sewage treatment effluent for
  Cooling Tower Makeup water (We are testing water
  now)
• Boiler Makeup water is pre-treated with organic
  or biodegradable materials
• Waste water returning to sewage treatment has
  only higher concentrations of minerals entering
  makeup system
• There are no heavy metals and nothing is toxic
• We are starting discussions with the La Pine
  Water District to determine the best water
  solution

20
Air Quality

• Particulate discharge limits have been reduced by
  98 in the last 10 years
• 20 of the project cost is allocated for
  pollution control equipment
• Exhaust Gas Recirculator
• Urea Injection
• Multi-Cyclone Collector
• 4 stage Precipitate Collector
• Continuous Emissions Monitoring System is
  required by the EPA
• During permitting, DEQ will distribute
  information and allow public to provide comments
• DEQ sets specific air emission limits for each
  project
• DEQ requires air flow modeling

21
Traffic

• 280,000 Tons of Green Biomass will require
  approximately 200 trucks per week or 40 trucks
  per day 5 days per week
• All fuel kept indoors to reduce rolling stock
• Noise levels will be minimal

22
Benefits to La Pine

• 20 direct jobs and up to 90 indirect jobs
• Attract potential steam partner to create more
  jobs
• Tax Revenue
• Working partner with Midstate Electric
• Upgrades to the Water District supply system
• 100 Construction jobs for 2 year
• Biogreen will support the local community

23
Why we will succeed

• We have the Biomass Fuel
• We are willing to work with the Water and Sewer
  District to solve the water availability issues
• We are willing to use Sewage Treatment Plant
  effluent water for cooling water makeup
• Biogreen is ready to build now
• Biogreen is utilizing the leaders in Biomass
  consulting
