2. The following information may contain forward looking
statements. Forward looking statements address future events
and conditions and therefore involve inherent risks and
uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those
currently anticipated in such statements.
3. » Energy is the largest industry in world.
» Demand for energy continues to increase.
» A tipping point has been reached.
» Transformation from carbon-based energy
to renewable/sustainable energy.
» Renewable energy is at the apex of this
massive transformation.
The development of renewable energy and energy efficiency marks "a new era of energy exploration" in the
United States, according to President Barack Obama
5.
“Now, the choice we face is not
between saving our environment and
saving our economy. The choice we
face is between prosperity and
decline. We can remain the world's
leading importer of oil, or we can
become the world's leading exporter
of clean energy.”
– President
Obama
6. 3 Main Components of the Green Energy Era:
1) Renewable energy production
2) Cleantech related technologies and processes
3) Legislative, regulatory and incentive framework
7. The technology and processes that underlie the
transformation of a green energy economy:
1) Efficiency
2) Recycling and material re-use
3) Infrastructure
8. » US total electrical production in 2006 was 1,336,146 MW with 11.1%
coming from renewable/other energy sources.*
» Conservative estimates for future renewable capacity range up to
635,000 MW (428% INCREASE) by 2025**
» Renewable electrical energy from hydro, wind, biomass, solar and
further down the road tidal and wave.
» The key issue is what % of the total electrical energy production will
renewable energy play in meeting future US demand?

transformation.
10. » Requires a certain percentage of a utility‟s power
plant capacity or generation to come from
renewable sources by a given date.
» Goal is to significantly reduce GHG emissions.
» Puts pressure on utility‟s to produce a significant
amount of renewable energy in the coming years to
avoid penalties
» For example, Texas requires 2,000 megawatts of
new renewable generation by the end of 2009

37. » Fossil fuels and non-renewable energy are a thing of the past!
» “Green Energy” alternatives are the solution:
- Solar
- Wind
- Biomass
- Geothermal
- Hydro
38. » Solar Power
» The cleanest, most abundant, renewable
energy source available today
» Net solar generation increased by almost
71% since 2000
» Represented 0.22% of all renewable energy
generation in 2008
» Total installed capacity in 2008 is 9,183 MW
which is enough to power close to 2 million
households
» Solar power is included in all State RPS‟s.
14 states and DC have an RPS with specific
solar/DG provisions.
» US has 8.7% of the world total.
» JP Morgan projects that by 2011 US solar
capacity will surpass Germany, who
currently holds 41% of all solar capacity.
39. » Wind Power
» Energy from naturally occurring wind
collected by a turbine and converted
into electricity.
» US wind power installed capacity now
exceeds 25,176 MW which is enough to
serve 7.0 million households.
» Generated 52 GWh of electricity in
2008, which is a 830% increase since
2000.
» Represents 15% of all renewable energy
generation in 2008.
» US doubled wind capacity over the
2008 year
» In 2008 US overtook Germany as the
leader in wind capacity.
» Texas holds 28% of all US wind capacity
40. » Biomass Power
» Organic material including
animal waste, agriculture,
wood and plant material
burned to heat water and
produce electricity.
» Biomass accounts for 3% of the
primary energy production in
the US.
» Biomass energy consumption
grew by 28% since 2004.
» EIA states that the U.S.
electric net summer biomass
capacity was 10,976 in 2008,
which is a 13% increase since
2004.
41. » Geothermal Power
» The heat continuously flowing from the Earth‟s interiors is estimated to
be equivalent to 42,000,000 megawatts (MW) of power.
» Made up 4% of all renewable
energy generation in 2008.
» Represents a 5.5% increase
since 2000.
» California has 85.7% of all US
geothermal capacity
» Nevada had the most
developing geothermal
projects in 2008.
42. » Hydro Power
» Movement of water, including the
natural flow of rivers through a
turbine to create electricity.
» Hydropower is the most important
and widely-used renewable source
of energy.
» Hydropower represents 19% of total
electricity production worldwide &
75% of renewable energy production
» Canada is the largest producer of
hydropower, followed by the United
States.
» Approximately two-thirds of the
economically feasible potential
remains to be developed.
43. » Low-Impact Hydro Power
» Water is diverted from a river into a penstock
(pipe), which feeds the water downhill to a
generating station.
» Natural force of gravity creates energy required
to spin the turbine that generates electricity.
» Water leaves the station and returns to the river
without altering the existing flow.
» Often most commercially viable and least subsidy
dependent.
» Often most economically attractive renewable
assets.
» Proven, efficient and reliable energy production.
» Most low impact hydro assets meet State level
RPS standards and will qualify under the proposed
Federal RPS standards
44.
45. STRUCTURED PROCESS FOR EVALUATING ENERGY PROJECTS:
• Most projects are complex - unique technical, financial, and permitting issues
• Structured process allows for
• Efficient compilation of project information
• Transparent technical, financial, and regulatory review
• Effective teamwork among different specialists
• Explicit decisions from senior management at key points in process
PROCESS CURRENTLY IN USE AT SYNTARIS POWER CORP:
• Allows for estimate of resources/costs for project development
• Allows for effective management of resources across project portfolio
• Corporate budget based on expected costs to reach each stage of evaluation

Prospect
47. PROSPECT is a potential project – may be a concept (project at very early
stages) or a project that is well advanced by others
PROJECT is both feasible and with an Evergreen business interest
STAGE 1 (Pre-Feasibility):
• Prospects are evaluated based on expected economics, strategic „fit‟
• Prospects with an IRR greater than 20% are moved to the next stage
• some exceptions for projects that have potential upside
• Outcome is decision to spend resources to move to Stage 2
STAGE 2 (Feasibility / Due Diligence):
• Prospects are evaluated based on
• technical feasibility, financial viability, permitting process
• significant issues are investigated, critical issues flagged
• Outcome is the basis for a Go/No Go decision to become an Evergreen Project
48. PROJECT DEVELOPMENT is a long process that requires considerable
resources to secure business interest, permits, engineering, construction
STAGE 3 (Project Development):
• Projects are broken out into separate entities with project-specific teams
• Projects are developed according to FERC and other regulatory processes
• Key is to integrate technical and financial planning / decisions into permitting
• Fundamental step is to secure Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)
• Outcome of Stage 3 is securing debt financing for project
STAGE 4 (Final Development and Construction):
• Debt financing is used to complete engineering, remaining permitting
• Project completed based on PPA, supplier and construction contracts, permits
• Project is commissioned and operation starts to generate revenue
• On-going operations are covered in a project-specific company
