The Commodity Chemical Problem» HIGH ENERGY CONSUMPTION

– Accounting for > 600,000 MWh of electricity daily

» HIGH OPERATING COSTS

– Plants uneconomic in high energy price regions

» ENVIROMENTAL IMPACT

– Worldwide CO2 impact of >160 BTA

– International markets rely on mercury and asbestos

» HEALTH & SAFETY CONCERNS

– Numerous accidents involving chlorine gas

» NOT GOING AWAY

– >>$100BB industry producing essential chemicals used

in 41% of goods

Preview of the eShuttle® PO Process


» Chemetry process reduces power, NaOH, and wastewater

requirements

– Chemetry process saves 45+ tonnes of water for every tonne of PO

– 60% less energy versus traditional PO process

» Ability to leverage EDC

development work and pilot facility

» Pilot facility designed, constructed,

and producing PO

» Clear economic advantage

and market demand

– $500+MM additional NPV per plant*
