The Science
Process: Proprietary technology built upon the
proven sciences of pyrolysis (devolatization in an
inert atmosphere) and hydropyrolysis (devolatization
in a hydrogen-rich atmosphere).
Output - Gas: Syngas (600 - 750 Btu). Used for power
production or used directly for industrial purposes.
Output - Carbon: Can be sold for soil amendments,
fuel sources, fillers for rubber, plastic applications,
filtration, and road construction additives.
Emissions – Equal to natural gas but no emissions in
the conversion from waste to gas.

D4 Energy – Gas Enhancement Module (GEM)
The D4 Energy’s Gas Enhancement Module (GEM) is a specialty designed system that
takes “produced gas”, in its raw state, containing short chain hydrocarbons (C1-C3),
hydrogen, condensable oils and tars generally described as long chain hydrocarbons,
CO (carbon monoxide) and CO2 (carbon dioxide) and produces a clean synthetic gas
which can produce a broad range of energy products.

D4 Energy – Feed Stock Squisher (FSSQ)
The D4 Energy’s Feed Stock
Squisher (FSSQ) is a specialty
designed technology that takes
MSW, biomass and other
feedstocks and reduces their
moisture content from as high as
80% down to a nominal 2% – 4%.
Dried & Densified MSW can be
“granulated” (left)
or “extruded” (right)

Modular Design – 30-45 tons per day
1.25 – 2.0 MW net dispatchable
9
Multi-Module Installation
~450 metric tons per day of processible feedstock
 Sample 10 node (12.5MW) system
10
Superior WtE Technology
The Company’s proprietary technology uses a unique combination of pyrolysis and
hydropyrolysis that subjects the feedstock to temperatures in excess of 1,600F (850C) in
an all gas environment. Unlike competing technologies, the system does not involve
combustion that produces toxic emissions.
Benefit
Description
High waste stream conversion rates
Approximately 80% of feedstock is converted to syngas and 20% to carbon
Medium BTU values
D4 units produce on average 600 to 750 BTU gas1
Efficient processing
The D4 system’s parasitic load is approximately 10-15%.
Minimal emissions
D4 units operate as a closed loop systems that create almost no emissions in
processing of the feedstock
Modularity and scalability
Systems start as small as 1.25 MW (30 tons/day) and can grow as large as 40 MW
(1,000 tons/day)
Lower operating costs
Modular configuration, simple design, and operating at 1 bar
Flexible feedstocks
Accepts a wide variety of waste streams and biomass
Greenhouse gas reduction
Reduces landfill methane and reliance upon fossil fuels
Fast installation
Can be assembled and in production in about four weeks after delivery to customer
site
Portability
Can be disassembled and moved to other sites
1Exact
BTU rating of produced gas depends on the type of feedstock
11
Cost Competitive Solution
On a per MW basis, the Company’s system is priced approximately 52% less than the
average cost of competing WtE solutions.
When compared to other gasification suppliers, on a per MW basis, the Company’s
system is priced approximately 55% less.
