BIOMASS - EXPORTOPPORTUNITY MAINE

Maine has 3 deep water Atlantic Ocean ports close to Europe. The deepest is Eastport.

Eastport is also closest to over 9 million tonnes of sustainable biomass available as traditional forest products sector shrinks.

The North American rail system ends 20 miles from Eastport soon to be 7 miles

Maine, poised for pellet growth

Maine already a pellet State

Existing Pellet Plants (dist. Eastport/Searsport): Corinth Wood Pellets (142/42 miles)125kT Maine Woods Pellets (182/82 miles) 100kT Geneva Wood Pellet (222/122 miles) 50kT NorthEast Wood Pellets (180/300m) 60kT rail Ennergex Quebec (300/200 mile) 100kT railProposed Pellet Plants (others): Cate Street/Rotowave (130/220) 100kT rail FE and Sons (40 miles to Portland) 300kT rail

Eastport, the Security Key Eastport is the key to developing Maine.

There is storage space in Searsport but the port is controlled by Sprague Energy. To take advantage of a good supply of local biomass and the massive biomass supply of the north,

Owning and controlling the deepest Port on the East Coast of the United States is a Privilege.

Leasing/Locking Up Eastport is little risk for great reward.
