Why Now? Demand Acceleration

5

• RNG rapidly shifting from niche to mainstream drop-in substitute for natural gas

• Consumers demanding reduced carbon intensity for their energy (Natural Gas) delivered

• RNG is about a decade behind in the rapid renewables growth curve with specific targets in place to change!

• Multi-nationals, gas utilities and governments are announcing RNG contracts and targets at increasing frequency to achieve 10-20% RNG content by 2030

• Transport RNG demand is market pricing driven NOT subsidies driven*

• Gas utility demand driven by need to compete with shift to renewable electricity• residential, commercial, industrial customers threatening to go electric if no green gas option

* e.g. Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS/RINs), Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) in the U.S. and Renewable Energy Directive (RED) in Europe

Significant Opportunity

6

• Current RNG penetration of North American natural gas network ~0.3%

• Industry sales forecast to grow ~30% CAGR(1) over next 5 years in NA & EU

• US$18B in biogas upgrading equipment sales necessary to reach 5% RNG content in the NA gas distribution network alone(2)

• Greenlane’s LTM product bid universe has grown from $450M to $680M3

Not all of these potential projects will proceed or proceed within the expected timeframe and not all of the projects that do

proceed will be awarded to Greenlane. Nevertheless, over time, this number gives a reasonable metric of changes in market activity and anticipated growth of the industry.

“UPS announced plans to purchase more than 6,000 natural gas-powered trucks from 2020 through 2022. The CNG fleet expansion provides additional capacity for expanding the use of renewable natural gas, which UPS has committed to purchasing 230 million gallon equivalents of over the next seven years, making it the largest consumer of RNG in the transportation industry.” ~UPS News Release, October 9, 2019.

“The World Biogas Association presented the UNFCCC Conference of Parties 25 in Madrid with a Declaration recently signed by the Association and major industry companies in which they commit to deliver a 12% reduction of global GHGs by 2030 – subject to barriers to the industry’s growth being removed by world policy makers.” World Biogas Association news release, December 9, 2019.

"Climate change has become a defining factor in companies’ long-term prospects. Companies, investors, and governments must prepare for a significant reallocation of capital. Because capital markets pull future risk forward, we will see those reallocations of capital sooner than most anticipate, and more quickly than we see changes to the climate itself.” BlackRock CEO Larry Fink’s letter to CEOs, January 14, 2020.

"Amazon founder Jeff Bezos on Monday announced the launch of a new Earth Fund that the e-commerce chief plans to use to combat climate change. He said that he’s pledging $10 billion to start the fund, which will be called the Bezos Earth Fund and issue grants to climate-oriented scientists and activists.” CNBC Article February 17, 2020.

What is biogas?Produced from decomposing organic material without presence of oxygen:• 50-65% CH4

• 35-50% CO2

• Trace impurities (H2S, VOCs, etc.)

RNG (biomethane) advantages• Drop-in substitute for natural gas• 100% renewable - no new carbon• Upcycles low-grade organic waste into

high-value, low-carbon energy source

What is biogas upgrading?• Cleanse impurities• Separate CO2 from CH4

• Meet pipeline or vehicle specifications

RNG provides solution for 2 enormous and difficult to-decarbonize sectors of global energy system

Background and History

24

• Biogas started as a cheap heating fuel

• In late 1980’s biogas moved to combined heat & power (CHP)

• Focus shifted to higher value / higher tech upgrading to separate CO2 from CH4

and cleanse impurities to create RNG for vehicle use and pipeline injection

• RNG rapidly shifting from niche to mainstream drop-in substitute for natural gas to green gas distribution networks

• Driven by gas utilities responding to customer demand for dramatically reduced carbon intensity; renewable fuel vs. fossil fuel advantage

• Gas grid is larger than electricity grid in energy delivered (1.2x larger in the U.S., 2x in Canada, 4x in the UK) and earlier in transition to renewable content

• Trillions of dollars of gas distribution assets at risk of becoming redundant without renewable pathway; gas utilities face threat of electrification
