REMAINING ODS BANKS = “SIGNIFICANT CLIMATE THREAT”

Montreal Protocol stops at production of CFCs and other ODS

Kyoto Protocol does not include ODS

ODS produced prior to their phase out deadlines remain in legal use

In US and many other countries, no controls over emissions at end of life

OZONE DEPLETING & GLOBAL WARMING POTENTIALS

(ODP) (GWP)

Equal mass amounts

ODS: BUSINESS AS USUAL

HALOCARBONs

USE & BANKS PRODUCTION

Business as usual scenario all ODS is emitted

IPCC/TEAP 2005-2010

“If over the next two decades the emissions of all ODS in banks were prevented, the direct, positive radiative forcing would be equal to approximately 3-4% of the total radiative forcing from all anthropogenic GHG emissions over the same period. “

“Without immediate action, reachable banks will emit approximately 6 billion tons of CO2 equivalent by 2015--- offsetting and surpassing the 5 Gt CO2 eq reduction sought during the first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol.”

CARBON FINANCE PROVIDES INCENTIVES

Two ODS destruction protocols approved by CAR (Feb 2010):

1. CFC refrigerants and foam blowing agents originating in US (Domestic)**

2. CFC refrigerants originating in Article 5 countries

• Both protocols require destruction in US ** ARB adopted domestic protocol for AB 32 offsets

ELIGIBILITY FOR DOMESTIC PROJECTS

Location ODS must be sourced and destroyed in U.S. or its territories

Project Start Date Destruction within 6 months of project submission

Additionality Legal test: Montreal Protocol and U.S. law limit production and intentional release of ODS, but no requirements for destruction

Performance standard: Destruction rare

Regulatory Compliance 99.99% destruction efficiency RCRA/Clean Air Act permits

DOMESTIC ODS PROJECT DEFINITION

Only eligible for gases completely phased out of production:

− CFC-11, CFC-12 refrigerant or foam − CFC-114, CFC-115 refrigerant − HCFC-141b foam blowing agent − Excludes halons

All ODS destroyed within a twelve month period at a single destruction facility

QUANTIFYING EMISSIONS REDUCTIONS

Emission reductions = [Baseline-Project] emissions

Baseline emissions account for: Refrigerant-specific leak rates Foam blowing agent attenuation in landfills

Project emissions include: Transportation Energy at destruction facility Replacement refrigerants

10 year crediting period

PROJECT OPERATIONS AND MONITORING

ODS Origin and Chain of Custody Equipment/location Container IDs, weight Technician IDs Custody/Ownership

Transport and transfer of ODS Mode of transport, vehicle miles, etc

Preparation for destruction Mixing Purification Mass/composition

Destruction unit operating parameters Feedrate, temperature/pressure, continuous emissions,

energy inputs 99.99% destruction efficiency

Instrument calibrations

EOS SYSTEM: SCALABLE TO MEET MARKET DEMAND

BUSINESS AS USUAL

ODS OFFSETReclaimed ODS is destroyed, creating a verifiable and permanent emission reduction. EOS Climate is recognized as pioneer of ODS destruction in carbon markets.

Reclaimed ODS is reused in older equipment, and ultimately leaked.

EOS CLIMATE – RESULTS DELIVERED

1st company to deliver domestic CRTs

Delivered over 1,500,000 CRTs

Repeated this accuracy 12 times for all eligible domestic ODS from both commercial & residential sources.

Variance <0.0001 by 3rd party analysis Destruction to issuance < 3months

Merchandizing and financial partnership with Cargill

Sold to voluntary and compliance buyers seeking permanent emissions reductions.
