Description of the Proof of Concept for a 100kWa Biomass Energy System and Plan for 1MW System for Sanctuary Belize

1. PROOF OF CONCEPT:
COMMUNITIY SCALE
BIOMASS ENERGY PRODUCTION
Presented by:
PEERLESS GREEN INITIATIVES
A Market Based Model for
Clean Residential Energy Production as a Profit Center
Carbon Footprint Credit Finance Availability
A Validated Green Marketing & CSR Mechanism
***

2. Overview: Why BioMass? Why Bamboo?
➲ Use the Naturally Abundant & Available Bamboo and
Waste BioMass on Sanctuary Belize
➲ Use Proven BioMass Gasifiers to Create Natural Gas for
On-Site Generation of Power & Container Fuel
➲ Perpetual Fuel Source Supplying Is A Measurable Mode of
Earning Carbon Credits
➲ Effectively Save Up To 70% on Community Energy Costs
➲ Turn Energy Expense into a Profit Center
➲ Make Clean Energy as Showcase Marketing Driver

3. Bamboo-Sourced Energy and Carbon Cycle

4. GOAL OF CONCEPT
➲ GOAL: Deliver in approx. 90 days a BioGas
100kWa Energy Grid
➲ Pictured here is a full scale multi MW system requiring only 10000sf partial covered plant. A 100KW system requires
only 2500 sf part covered slab. This diagram ilustrates the straightforward and compact systems involved.

5. Plan of Action
Turnkey a 100kW* Grid Connected Power Plant on Site
able to deliver complete energy requirement for Office, Staff
Lodging & Woodshop
• Harvest & Process Bamboo Existing on
the Property to Fuel the Annual Requirement
of BioMass. (requires 5 acres of bamboo)
• Demonstrate that Model can Produce on-
site marketable electricity at a cost of $.10
per kWh, $.20-25 effective cost per kWh
(unit).
• Demonstrate Added Value Marketing
Potential for Green Equity, Brand Equity &
CSR Reporting
*1MW = 1000Kw: Under non-severe weather conditions, one megawatt could power roughly 800
to 1,000 average-sized American homes. 100KW can service 8-10

6. The Present Situation
➲ A Sample House at Sanctuary Belize consumed 1120 units (kWh)
in one month.
➲ Sanctuary Belize purchases electric energy from Belize for $.48
BZD per kWh. ($.24USD) That's $543 BZD for Sample House.
➲ Or SB could make energy for $.14 BZD per kWh a savings of
$386.20 BZD for sample house. (71% savings)
➲ And SB could be selling energy for $.30 kWh BZD and profit
$179.20 BZD for sample house.

7. ABUNDANT RENEWABLE FEEDSTOCK
& CARBON CREDITS
Sanctuary Belize has an Estimated 10,000 Tons of feedstock
quality bamboo along Riparian Property along Sittee River
Sanctuary Belize has the following observed fuel items:
> Waste Timber, Lot Waste
> Construction Waste
> Seaweed, Leaf Litter
PLUS: Sanctuary Belize has no less than 3000
tons of carbon storage certificates tied
in their bamboo and biomass (@$20 p ton)

8. ➲ Development To Date:
 Field Study Found Abundant Bamboo and BioMass
 Onsite Biomass is a Natural Capital Carbon Sink
 PGI Developed BioMass & Alternate Energy Tech In US,
India and Cambodia
 A High Confidence Proof of Concept Opportunity Exists
➲ Important background information:
 Thousands of BioMass Fuel Systems are Serving Homes,
Business and Major Industry Worldwide.
 BioMass Fuel is Appropriate Tech when fuel is readily
available such is the case at Sanctuary Belize
 Sanctuary Belize could be leveraging VALIDATED
Corporate Social Responsibility global marketing for
brand equity, goodwill and to ethical consumers. (ie SEC, Bloomberg
and Reuters now scoring companies Enviro/Social/Governance (ESG) metrics)

9. The Renewable Story
Original forecasts which turned out to be wrong:
• Wind and Solar turned out to be Costly, Tech
Complex, Maintenance Prone, Fragile, slow
ROI, high Levelized pMW cost.
Original forecasts which turned out to be true:
• Off-the-Shelf Durable and Existing Tech Can
be Converted to Clean Fuel Burners
• Biofuels are Renewable & Cost Effective
• Low GHG Output & Carbon Credit Incentives
• Profit & Savings of Biogas Increase as
Scarcity of Fossil Fuel Energy Increases
Levelized Cost:
• Wind $ 83 p/MWh
• Solar $144 p/MWh
• Hydro $ 77 p/MWh
• Biomass $ 56 p/MWh

10. Potential Alternatives
➲ Alternative strategies
 Remain on Government Grid and Suffer Price Shocks
 Invest In Costly High Tech With Slow Break Even/ROI
 Allow Others to Manage (and Profit from) Your
Alternative Fuel Upstream
 Allow Sustainable Natural Capital to Remain Locked in
Your Land Instead of Your Business Profit Plan
 Lost Value Addition of Carbon Trading & Finance
➲ Pros and Cons of each strategy
 Solar Is “Free Fuel” only if CapEx, Land Space and
Maintenance Not Weighed*
 Wind Is Geo-Fickle, Prone to Disaster Damage
 BioFuel Follows a Natural Energy Cycle, is a
Renewable Resource, Promotes Soil Resilience and is
a Carbon Capture PROFIT Center
➲ 100kW = $113,000 PROFIT if sold at .20 p/Kw
➲ 100kW = $100,800 SAVINGS if on .24p/Kw Grid

15. ➲ Recommendation:
 Authorize Proof of Concept as Part of Existing
Energy Budget for Appropriate Technology
 P/O a 100kW Biogasifier With Validated Track
Record for Use with Bamboo.
 Hire Professionals to Conduct Turn Key Gasifier to
Grid
 Immediately Sample Harvest & Census Bamboo &
Demonstrate Fuel Farm Process
➲ Summary of the expected results:
 Within 90 – 120 days & on budget, provide 100kW of
Biomass generated energy to SB facilities using
bamboo feed fuel
 Provide a profit and marketing plan for a scaled up
facility that can provide energy and motor fuel to
Sanctuary Belize;
 Provide SB 1st Annual CSR Integrated Report (GRI)
 Apply to World Bank Carbon Fund,
 Full Media Campaign
