The Sustainability Gap 33 It’s no secret, human activities are unsustainable… www.companyname.com © 2016 Jetfabrik Multipurpose Theme. All Rights Reserved.
The Solution is Algae 4 Algae literally built our world. It is the source of all fossil fuels and is the foundation of the food chain – perfect for fish, animals, and humans. It has essential nutrients that are unavailable anywhere else on the planet. Pollution is it’s food. The challenge has been to commercialize algae cultivation…
6 Pond represents a new era in sustainability. We’ve commercialized algae’s inherent power to mitigate pollution and nourish life on Earth.
Green Gold 7 SUPERFOOD POLLUTION ABATEMENT CLEAN ENERGY Containing numerous well-documented Algae feasts on the carbon dioxide and Algae can be processed into products health benefits, algae produced from other pollutants found in industrial that displace the use of petrochemicals, food-grade CO2 can be used in high- emissions, growing rapidly when paired like biofuels and bioplastics. It is also value nutraceutical products. with optimal lighting conditions. ideal for animal feeds and fertilizers.
Strategic Overview 8 Using a variety of CO2 feedstocks, Pond has developed proprietary photobioreactors and control systems that enable revenue generation from multiple sales channels and algae products. Nutraceuticals Pond uses clean CO2 sources to grow algae for high-value food additives such as astaxanthin, chlorella, and spirulina We own and operate the production facility and sell the product Pollution Abatement Pond’s technology consumes the CO2 contained in the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions of major industrial facilities to grow algae for biofuels, bioplastics, animal/aquaculture feeds, and use in land reclamation We sell proprietary equipment and license our technology to industrial emitters
Nutraceuticals Channel 9 We own and operate the production facility and sell the product Animal/Aquaculture Feed Direct to large manufacturers Human Health Supplements Direct to distributors Direct to manufacturers Branded ‘Pond Organics’ product to end users
Pollution Abatement Channel 10 We sell proprietary equipment and license our technology to industrial emitters Proprietary Photobioreactor & Control Systems Direct to industrial emitters To heat and power plants ‘End-of-pipe’ solution Our proprietary photobioreactors are unlike anything else in the world. They require only as much space as a parking spot, and connect directly to industrial smoke stacks, turning pollution feedstock into algae!
Why Our Platform? 11 11 WE GROW ALGAE FASTER THAN NATURE DOES Pond controls the growth environment, using ultra efficient, proprietary LED light engines, with integrated control circuitry unlike any other on Earth. This greatly accelerates the natural process of photosynthesis. TRADITIONAL PRODUCTION METHODS ARE TOO COSTLY Unlike the competition, Pond has created an industrial platform. The large land area required and exposed environmental conditions in traditional approaches result in low harvests and high production costs —we’ve isolated and optimized all the variables. KEY PARTNERSHIPS We were selected by the National Research Council of Canada as sole technology partner for their flagship $37MM Algae Carbon Conversion Program. Pond has also partnered with Votorantim Cement North America, US Steel Canada, Stelco, and Markham District Energy. SIGNIFICANT GOVERNMENT SUPPORT & FUNDING We have received over $8.5 million in support from various Canadian government programs as well as the Asia Pacific Partnership, demonstrating federal and global enthusiasm for our technology. www.companyname.com © 2016 Jetfabrik Multipurpose Theme.

12 ALGAE PRODUCTION: T H E O L D W AY • Uncontrolled • Low harvest rate (0.1g/L/day) • Large land area required (30 m2 required to produce 1 kg of algae per day) • Few geographies are suitable, typically far from markets • Evaporation, contamination, heat, weather, constant challenges P O N D ’ S P L AT F O R M : T H E B E T T E R W AY • Fully controlled • Contaminant-free production • High Harvest Rate (1-2g/L/day) • 300 times less land required – we fit the productivity of football field-sized open system into a parking space • Scalable bioreactors can be located anywhere – close to market
