Cost competitive sustainable renewable fuel

RFO Success Stories

•Bates College in Maine signed

Multi-year supply contract

•Central Heating Plant with three

700 hp boilers

•Two boilers burning RFO to

supply all of steam load

•Dual-fuel burner for RFO or

natural gas

• 83% emission reduction in

heating plant by RFO use

Use Existing Boiler and Emission Equipment

RFO Success Stories

•Hospital in New Hampshire

•Desired sustainable, low

carbon solution

•Switched from #4 fuel oil

•Using RFO for space heating

supply and baseload water

heating

•Multi year Supply Agreement

•Added storage tank and

modified 2 boilers


Dense Liquid Biofuel Only Renewable Option

•Urban district heating system

serving business community

and University

•Modified existing boiler to burn

RFO, natural gas or co-fire both

fuels

•Congested location ideal for

liquid fuel storage

•Reducing GHG emissions more

than 80% compared to NG

•Multi year Supply Agreement

for up to 11,000 MT per year

RFO Success Stories


Life Cycle GHG Emissionsof RTP green fuel

Boiler Emissions Substantially Lower than Fuel Oil

Comparison of GHG emissions

from origination to combustion

GHG emissions from RTP green fuel (pyoil)

are 70-90% lower than fuel oil


RTP Pyoil for Food/Smoke Flavoring

• Red Arrow – Food and smoke flavorings

• > 25 years of industrial experience with RTP technology

• Own and operate 5 Units

• Burning RTP green fuel for process energy and heat


Additional Benefits of RFO/Bio-Crude

• Biomass for RFO/Bio-Crude will reduce Stubble burning• Surplus biomass from fields used as feedstock, unlocking value from

what was considered waste earlier, and was burnt

• Improves Air quality, reduce pollution

• Biomass for RFO/Bio-Crude supports rural economy• Residual biomass streams are additional income for farmers

• Increase local employment, Improves Energy Security of country

• RFO price is stable over long time periods• Pricing is based on historically low volatility biomass costs

• RFO price can be set over extended periods• Multi year contracts available

• Fix annual budgets without risk

Align with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)


Commercially proven process for converting biomass to RFO/BioCrude

• Seven units and ~ 30 years of commercial experience

RTP Units will reduce Stubble burning• Surplus biomass potential unlocked,

additional value stream for farmers

Use with existing equipment in urban –industrial locations

• Improvement in AQI metrics

Meets most of the new international emission restrictions (e.g. EU MCP)

Incentives offset low fossil fuel prices

• Early adoption occurring in countries with positive schemes for renewables
