What does SkyMine® do?

• Captures carbon dioxide (CO2) in solid form (higher density storage than gas)

• Captures acid gasses (SOx, NOx)

• Captures heavy metals such as mercury

• Produces electrolytic grade hydrogen• Sale• Clean energy

• Produces electrolytic grade chlorine

• Plastics• Drinking water• HCl

• Produces Saleable Bicarbonate

• Glass Production

• Algae feed

• Eliminates hundreds of millions of dollars in CapEx and ongoing expense for additional scrubber technologies. “Three-fer” that is retrofittable.

• Recovers the process electricity it uses.

• Capable of off-peak/on-peak demand management.

• Mineralization avoids the liability associated with gaseous injection

• Replacement strategy for aging chlor-alkali facilities

The SkyMine® Project will be located at a cement manufacturing plant inSan Antonio, Texas

The Project is ideally situated in the deepest chemicals market in the US

The Project’s key attributes:

Direct capture >75,000 MT of CO2

Expected avoidance credits equal to >200,000 MT of CO2

62,000 MT of HCl (dry) produced per year

143,000 MT of Sodium Bicarbonate produced per year

The Project may be expanded to 2-3x its current planned size
