Organic Farm Inputs
BLENDING FERTOZ PRODUCTS WITH CONVENTIONAL FERTILIZERS REDUCES GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
Fertoz’s traditional business of organic farm inputs has now expanded into the carbon market
Supply of rock phosphate and blends to organic farmers in North America
Supply of fused magnesium phosphate in Australia and selected countries in Asia and the Pacific
Record orders in first half of 2021 – leading to strong cash flow in H2
In-house granulation facilities expected to drive additional sales and EBIT growth – planned start in August 2021
Approximately 30% of farm-created greenhouse gas emissions are the result of synthetic fertilizers

THERE IS TOO MUCH CO 2 IN THE ATMOSPHERE AND TOO LITTLE CARBON IN OUR SOILS
Carbon Credits – the Next Global Investment Trend
==> picture [27 x 16] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [61 x 66] intentionally omitted <==
Carbon credits are generated by replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy (solar, wind etc), by planting trees, shrubs and grasses, rehabilitating wetlands and peat bogs, and renewing coastal wetland areas.
==> picture [61 x 66] intentionally omitted <==
When a carbon credit is used to offset CO2 (or methane or nitrous oxide etc) emissions, it expires.
==> picture [61 x 66] intentionally omitted <==
A carbon credit is a tradeable unit of value representing the reduction or removal of one (1) metric ton of carbon dioxide equivalent from the atmosphere.
==> picture [61 x 66] intentionally omitted <==
Carbon credits are traded on exchanges or traded between suppliers and emitters. Fertoz Carbon can do both – trade carbon credits on recognised exchanges or work in the voluntary carbon market
==> picture [62 x 19] intentionally omitted <==

Why the Huge Potential?
Industry is facing increasing costs associated with carbon emissions and climate change policies worldwide
Legislation is forcing companies to pay for their carbon emissions
Non-compliance results in higher cost of capital, increased shareholder activism, reduced share price etc
Companies that emit carbon through the use of fossil fuels, or through the release of methane and nitrous oxide into the atmosphere, must purchase or generate carbon credits to offset their production of greenhouse gases
With annually increasing carbon taxes being levied on businesses, there is now urgent demand for carbon credits
Major emitters are buying credits in size: according to Katusa Research, to meet its target emission cuts, Shell would need to buy 45% of ALL the voluntary carbon market credits issued last year - every year
While manufacturers face larger tax and tariff bills for CO2, the cost to them of buying offset credits is also increasing (see carbon market price chart on next slide showing that the price of carbon per tonne on the EU ETS market has grown in excess of 65% compounded over the past five years)

Carbon Credit Demand Growth
The Taskforce on Scaling Voluntary Carbon Markets (TSVCM), sponsored by the Institute of International Finance (IIF) with knowledge support from McKinsey, estimates that demand for carbon credits could increase by a factor of 15 or more by 2030 and by a factor of up to 100 by 2050. Overall, the market for voluntary carbon credits could be worth upward of US$50 billion in 2030.

A Constrained Market
The market for carbon credits comprises the mandatory market (used by companies and governments that are legally mandated to offset their emissions) and the voluntary carbon market operating in parallel (allowing private companies and individuals to purchase carbon offsets on a voluntary basis). The voluntary market is expected to grow, unaided by legislation, on the back of net-zero pledges.
With an increasing number of companies now seeking carbon credits to offset their CO2 emissions, the market for carbon credits continues to tighten.
The carbon credit market is constrained and is particularly short of high value, nature-based carbon credits – those credits generated by renewing or conserving forests and wetlands.
Fertoz can help farmers to generate these naturebased credits. Our cloud-based A.I. and blockchain reforestation initiatives facilitate verification of forest and crop growth, the amount of CO2 sequestered and the resultant carbon credits generated

Our Competitive Advantages
==> picture [87 x 87] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [87 x 87] intentionally omitted <==
We have an inputs business and years of lab tests, soil tests, trials and actual production on farms – we can prove the benefits of using our products and we now offer additional services in carbon management, carbon credit generation and trading
Fertoz products improve soil health, increase plant growth and thus sequester more carbon in the soil and in the plant, whether that soil and those plants are on farms, in forests or grazing land for cattle
==> picture [86 x 87] intentionally omitted <==
Our products increase plant growth and thus CO2 sequestration; our products can be blended with synthetic/conventional fertilizers to reduce overall CO2 emissions (1t of nitrous oxide from conventional nitrogen fertilizers is equivalent to 296t of CO2)
==> picture [183 x 181] intentionally omitted <==
Importantly, our products facilitate discussions in carbon emissions reduction – from sequestering more CO2 from plant growth, to reforesting unused areas on
farms, to improving the efficiency of cattle production thus reducing methane emissions from herds (1t of methane is equivalent to 25t of CO2)

Fertoz Provides Exposure to the Carbon Market
==> picture [399 x 265] intentionally omitted <==
Fertoz plans to generate income through its development of a comprehensive platform that will allow the carbon credits generated in the Company’s agriculture and reforestation projects to be traded. Fertoz will share in carbon credits generated on a project by project basis.
We work with agribusinesses and forestry groups (existing Fertoz customers and others) to develop commercial carbon farming projects that sequester and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by implementing sustainable land management practices, aligning agriculture/forestry with climate policy.
Carbon farming projects can generate income by selling Carbon Credit Units to governments or private enterprise that have carbon reduction targets.
Our Carbon-Neutral phosphate allows farmers to significantly reduce the amount of CO2 they need to offset, shortening their path to being carbon neutral
Our products are the key to our competitive advantage in the carbon market
