Meridian Bioenergy iss in the right place

p at the right
r time witth the right ““green” techn
nology.

Meridian is sponsoringg a renewablee energy inveestment oppoortunity. Althhough the com mpany will seeek to
optimize shareholder value
v by exploiting all avaailable governnment incentiives, its businness model is NOT
based on such subsidies – unlike other
o alternattive energy vventures todayy that dependd upon them to be
economiccally viable.

Meridian proposes to raise $18.0 million of eq quity capital with the objbjective to deevelop 3 operating
facilities within 5 yeaars with a po otential enterrprise value tto exceed $5500 million. The venturee will
contributee to the buildiing of a green
ner economy byb utilizing ann abundant, nnearly untapped energy ressource
– food waaste that woulld otherwise beb disposed ofo in landfills,, processed inn wastewater treatment plaants or
used for composting.

Through a proven and d advanced foorm of Anaerrobic Digestioon (AD) – a technology thhat has existeed for
more than
n 200 years and
a currently y used extenssively throughhout Europe and Asia – M Meridian prooduces
biogas (m
methane) from m decaying, biodegradab ble organic m matter. This biogas is prrocessed andd sold
commerciially as renew
wable natural gas
g or used too fuel generattors that produuce electricityy.

The Meridian process produces meethane and a marketable oorganic soil cconditioner, w with only CO
O2 and
treated waater created as
a “waste prodducts”. The environmenta
e ally insignificcant levels of CO2 produceed are
released into
i the atmoosphere and the treated water
w can be used as irriggation qualitty “gray wateer” or
discharged into municiipal sewers att acceptable environmentall levels.

Meridian has chosen Houston forr the locatio on of its firsst renewable energy faciility. The plaant is
anticipateed to be commmissioned annd operationaal in the thirrd or fourth qquarter of 20011, with plaans to
produce 2.0
2 million sccf/d (Standard
d Cubic Feet per Day) of pipeline quallity natural gaas. The com mpany
has land sufficient
s to more
m than dou
uble productio
on capacity.

Because of o the gas, altthough identiical in chemiical composition to


o the renewaable energy cllassification of
conventio
onal natural gas,
g the bioggas has “Greeen Attributess” that comm mand a signifficant premiuum to
conventio
onal natural gas
g prices. Th his “green gass” is sold to mmunicipalities, utilities annd other consuumers
and deliveered through contracted caapacity on exiisting natural gas pipeliness.
