First Mover – New Multi-Billion $$$ Industry

Carbogation℠ CO2 Crop Enrichment Solution

• 80-85% of California’s water goes to agriculture, and is simply lost into the atmosphere as transpiration from the leaves of plants.

• AG Gas® vastly improves crops’ water-use-efficiency. • Crop production improves, and the process mitigates

climate change. • AG Gas embodies the essence of sustainable agriculture

including organic crop production.


A Very Profitable Solution

Carbogation℠ CO2 Crop Enrichment Understanding Financial Implications

• IRS rules can’t book permanent crops’ expenses until reach “sustainable economic performance”

• $10,000 per acre opportunity cost of holding non-producing land

• Plow in additional $1,700 per year • Accelerate production phase of permanent crops • Accelerate net present value of a future revenue stream • Quicker reaction time to shifting markets’ demand &

pricing

Carbogation℠ CO2 Crop Enrichment Profit

The Company will make money:

• Selling hardware & software to growers • Through installation, service, & maintenance contracts

with growers • Through technology licensing for both domestic and

international markets • As First Mover assembling a portfolio of lucrative CO2

off-take (supply) agreements to service strategic ag markets

• Through value-added, high margin, gaseous media additives (patent pending); & more product offerings


• Plants acquire their carbon as CO2 gas • CO2 gas enters the leaf through thousands of tiny stomata

openings located on the underside of the leaves

Magnified Leaf Stomata

Carbogation℠ CO2 Crop Enrichment Photosynthesis Optimization


Managing carbon & “gaseous media” around the leaves

Global crops, orchards, plantations, and vineyards are starved for Carbon Dioxide surrounding the leaves of plants.

No company globally is providing “CO2 Service” to the ag sector today.

CO2 is just the first of numerous “gaseous media” opportunities for AG Gas; technology expansion.

AG Gas has perfected the delivery mechanism and holds some key Intellectual Property.

Carbogation℠ CO2 Crop Enrichment Plant Response

- Higher photosynthesis - More growth & yield - Better fruit quality

Reduced transpiration Increased CO2 uptake - Less irrigation

- Less water stress - Higher water use efficiency

Increased carbon allocation below ground

- More root development - Higher microbial activity - Improved water & nutrient uptake
