Forward-looking statementsinvolve numerous risks and uncertainties. We have attempted to identify any forward-looking statements byusing words such as “anticipates”, “believes”, “could”, “expects”, “intends”, “may”, “should” and othersimilar expressions.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in all of our forward-looking statements are reasonable,we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. A number of factors may affect ourfuture results and may cause those results to differ materially from those indicated in any forward-lookingstatements made by us or on our behalf. Such factors include our early stage of technology development; ourneed for capital to finance necessary research and product development; our ability to attract and retain keyemployees and strategic partners; our ability to achieve and maintain profitability; fluctuations in the tradingprice and volume of our stock; competition from other providers of similar products and services; and otherunanticipated future events and conditions.

About CO2 Solutions Inc.

CO2 - it has a nasty reputation…

…The most significant contributor to disruptive climate change

But it`s not all bad

An essential commodity for many industrial processes

We Address the Good and the Bad

Climate Change Mitigation

Capture and sequestration of CO2 from large emitters

• Power Stations

• Oil & Gas

• Cement and Metal Industries

CO2 for Commercial Reuse

Addressing CO2 supply opportunities driven by:

• Cost

• Availability

7

Current solution is inefficient

• High costs• High operating costs due to steam-fed

regeneration requirement• $60-90/tonne of CO2 for flue gas application(1,2)

• Operational and environmental problems(3)

• Degradation and stability issues• Extensive flue gas pre-treatment required• Toxic aerosol emissions• Solvent losses• Generation of waste products

• Solvent regeneration using heat outside of steam cycle• Low parasitic load; minimal boiler upgrade

• Environmentally benign solvent• No degradation products or aerosols• Ease of environmental and waste management

operations

• Larger net GHG reductions than amines• Benefit of using low-grade heat

• Low total cost of capture• Economics more favourable relative to

Enhanced Oil Recovery opportunities• In line with carbon pricing• 10 years ahead of U.S. DoE cost target

Overall Benefits of CSI Technology

THE OPPORTUNITY

12

CO2 produced suitable for commercial use

• 99.5% CO2 purity achieved (dry basis) by independent lab verification with only O2

and N2 remaining to be removed

• Meets requirements for food and beverage use (ISBT)1 without expensive downstream purification

• Exceeds Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) and other reuse application purity requirements

• Eliminates typical additional cost of post-capture purification

GOING FORWARD

Strategy

Three-tier strategy

• De-risking• Continued Innovation• Commercialization

1http://www.bevtech.org/

18

EERC Testing Program

~1 tonne per day

• Premier CO2 capture testing facility in North America supported by U.S. Department of Energy

• Comprehensive testing completed January 2015

• Results show $39/ ton cost of capture,

beating DoE cost targets by 10 years

De-risking – technology scale-up

Demonstration project~10 tonnes per day

• Successfully operated 1,200 hours

• Has fully validating technical premise

• Full report including costing to be published following independent 3rd party review

• Supported by $5.5M government funding

• Final step in pre-commercial scale-up

Positions CO2 Solutions’ technology for commercial deployment

19

10 tonne/day demonstration

• Located near Montreal

• CO2 capture from flue gases of natural gas fired boiler (~8.5% CO2 content)

• Uses Company’s proprietary enzyme, 1T1

• Capture operations began June, 2015

• > 1,200 operating hours to date

• Stripping uses hot water (80-85ᵒC), not high-cost steam as currently technologies require

20

Environmental performance & operation

• No solvent degradation observed

• No solvent makeup required

• No waste products generated

• Current operation with day shift only• To support R&D activities• Normal operation does not require full-

time operators; estimation is 0.25 FT operator, even at large capacity

21

Fine tuning

• Optimize configuration to validate engineering improvements

• Testing of solvent additive for improved performance in both absorption and stripping

• Additional stress testing

• Measurement of contaminants absorption kinetics

• Total work will bring operations to ~2,500 hours

• Detailed energy balance and techno-economics being developed from operational data expected to confirm the lowest capture cost for solvent-based capture technology

22

• Exclusive collaboration with GasTran Systems (GTS) of Cleveland (OH) - leader in RPB technology

• Process intensification in action

• Shears solvent into extremely fine droplets

• Mass transfer is orders of magnitude than higher packed column

• Enables maximum performance from enzyme

• RPB is proven commercially in other gas-liquid applications at scale• Beverage deaeration• Chemical production

• RPB never used for CO2 capture previously because of slower kinetics of conventional amine solvents

Next: Rotating Packed Bed (RPB)

RPBs in Use at Dow Chemical Replacing Large Packed Tower

RPB vs. Packed Column

90% CO2 Capture from Natural Gas-Fired Boiler Flue Gases; 300 tonnes/day CO2 captured

Target CO2 capture cost <$30/tonne incl. compression
