Flared Natural Gas in the Shale Drilling Plays
Primarily Oil Plays Absent or Insufficient
Gathering Pipelines for the Natural Gas
Flaring preferable to Venting
EIA: < 1% of Gas Production Flared Nationwide
29% of North Dakota’s Gas Production is Flared!
Solutions/Uses for This Abundance of Flared Gas?

Bi-Fuel Retrofits of Diesel Engines Used in O&G
Diesel Engines – Workhorses of the Oilfieldo Drilling Operations – Generators, Mud Pumpso On-Site Power Generationo Liquids Pumping
Extreme Duty Cycleo Lots of Time Under Heavy Loado 24/7 Operationo Big Quantities of Diesel Fuel Consumed!
Ideal Candidates for Bi-Fuel Retrofitso Substitute Natural Gas for a Portion of the Diesel Fuel Consumedo Use a Readily Available Fuel Source that Would Otherwise be Flared!

Bi-Fuel Opportunity – O&G Diesel Engines
Fuel Cost Savings (Up to 70% Displacement of Diesel Fuel Consumed)
Extended Run Times with Existing Diesel Fuel Tank Less Frequent Fuel Deliveries Uses an Available Fuel Source at the Wellsite Less Carbon-Intensive Fuel Source Lower Exhaust Emissions Other Non-O&G Opportunities
o Emergency Backup Generatorso Data Center Generatorso Refrigeration Containers

The Path to Expanded Bi-Fuel Retrofit Adoption
Advocacy Demonstration Projects Comparative and Quantitative Emissions Analysis Catalyst Development, Testing, Validation,
Commercialization Final System Refinements Webinar to EPA EPA Affirmation, Position Statement
In Other Words … Change the Rules of the Game:o Credible Researcho Compelling Resultso Work with the EPA … Don’t Wait for Research and Rulemaking by Others

Comparative Emissions Analysis: MIRATECH Research Plan
Four Engine Operating Modes (Exhaust Emissions Scenarios)o Stock Diesel Engine (Raw Emissions)o Bi-Fuel Retrofitted Diesel Engine (Raw Emissions)o Stock Engine w/ MIRATECH Catalysto Bi-Fuel Engine w/ MIRATECH Catalyst
Five Engine Operating Loads: 10% - 100% Rated Load Multiple Pollutant Species
o NOx
o COo Formaldehydeo CO2
o CO2-equivalent
GOAL: Control Bi-Fuel Engine Emissions w/ MIRATECH Catalyst to Equal or Lower than the Stock Diesel Engine’s Certified Emissions.

Results Summary
With the Bi-Fuel + MIRATECH Catalyst Retrofit, NOx and CO Emissions are Reduced to Levels at or Below the Factory-Certified Emissions from the Stock Diesel Engine
The MIRATECH Catalyst Achieves a Formaldehyde Emission Reduction that is Compliant with EPA’s RICE NESHAP Regulation
As Expected, the Less Carbon-Intensive Blend of Fuel Reduces CO2 Emission Levels in the Engine Exhaust
18
Outcomes
Many Hesitant Bi-Fuel Prospects Have Now Been Persuaded by These Results to Adopt Bi-Fuel + MIRATECH Catalyst Retrofits
Emergency Gen Set Operators Have the Opportunity for Expanded Use of Their Equipment, Knowing They Will Comply with RICE NESHAP, As Well
MIRATECH Has Commercialized a Bi-Fuel Catalyst Formulation Drilling Companies are Recognizing Significant Fuel Savings,
Putting a Stranded Natural Resource to Good Use EPA Has Invited MIRATECH and GFS Corp to Present Their
Research This Fall
