Note: 1) Coal (API4) price per 21 April 2021, assumed calorific value of 25GJ/t, 2.9kg CO2 per kg coal and assumed coal plant efficiency of 45%; 2) ETS price per 21 April 2021 and assumed coal plant efficiency of 45%; 3) Expected production cost of ArbaCore for ArbaTwo

ArbaCore is a superior coal substitute compared to white pellets

ArbaCore advantages over white pellets for coal replacement		ArbaCore has been successfully verified in 14 coal power plants
	Coal-fired power plants can switch to ArbaCore with minimal CAPEX compared to white pellets
	Water resistant – can be stored outdoors
	40% lower volume for same energy content → lower logistics costs
	Safer handling
	Outstanding mechanical properties → lower particle size distribution
	Lower handling, storage and transport cost → can be handled similar to coal	ArbaCore	can be stored outside, and coal firing power producers can utilize existing equipment

We selected the Arbaflame pellets based on superior safety and fuel properties
