Renewables

Renewable energy and efficiency projects will increasingly contribute a much larger percentage of
supply resources and demand management due to economic forces, national security concerns and
governmental initiatives. The stand-alone viability of many technologies including wind and, during
certain high priced periods, solar shows that industry and governmental cooperation can lead to
economically viable solutions. However, with currently low crude oil and carbon prices, displacing
traditional fuel sources becomes much more challenging.

Developing viable renewable energy projects and businesses require that tangible environmental and
economic benefits be incorporated with the realities of the traditional fossil-based energy markets. Given
the price volatility in these traditional markets, sophisticated risk management is necessary to create a
solid business plan. In addition, design, construction, incentives, and regulatory risk must be
professionally managed if attractive financing is to be incorporated. Examples abound where these
project and business elements were not properly handled.

Agilis has experience in the fields of biofuels (e.g. biodiesel), biogas (e.g. anearobic digestion) and
emissions. Specifically, Agilis has worked on projects such as:

-Conducted an economic and feasibility study for agricultural-based distributed renewable energy
system on a 8000+ head dairy farm for a Fortune 100 company.

-Performed an evaluative study on the economic impact of proposed greenhouse gas inititiatives and
regulations on the US Northeast industrial facilities for a Fortune 100 company.

-Created a business and execution plan for the development of a biofuels and agriculture marketing,
