| Jitsuin helps boost confidence in any multi-enterprise automated process with trusted data in blockchain, the world’s most powerful hack-proof distributed ledger platform. EVERY digital business moment leads to a decision that is powered or held hostage by data. Those aren’t our words – they are from Gartner’s Chief of Research. Why do they say held hostage? Because information is trapped in silos; your data-management systems were designed to lock up data and make it hard to get.
And it’s only getting worse: Data produced by devices you didn’t build, processed by software you didn’t write, stored in silos beyond your control.
What if you could trust someone else’s data to automate with complete confidence accessible through Microsoft Azure via public or private cloud? Your super-power would be faster, better critical decision making. The Jistuin RKVST is an API platform that delivers blockchain powered, mutual trust to multi-party automation. Our partners are planning and building a diverse variety of solutions to:
• Boost manufacturing efficiency
• Track carbon in the supply chain
• Deliver traceable AI in autonomous vehicles
• Control access to secure facilities through digital locks
• Certify compliance and to track shipments of nuclear waste packages from “cradle to grave”
• Manage data collected by, and streamed from IoT and smart devices
These all rely on any-to-many automations that prove the right data gets to the right place at the right time and is trusted by the right people… all thanks to Jitsuin RKVST. Contact us for your needs in secure data collection, management and sharing. |

| With the support of ARPA-E, Onboard Dynamics has developed novel, patented methane compression technology that can operate at a variety of inlet and outlet pressures to compress methane without requiring external electricity. To date, the technology has been applied to multiple applications in the natural gas industry including vehicle refueling, filling of virtual pipeline trailers, and, most recently, the evacuation of natural gas pipelines during maintenance operations to reduce venting and flaring. The systems have been deployed across the US and CSA certification is pending for use in Canada.
Over the course of two ARPA-E awards and being selected a semi-finalist for the SCALEUP program, we have developed the understanding, systems, and relationships to successfully execute on ARPA-E awards. Importantly, we have also created a network of investors, state agencies, utilities, supply chain firms, and O&G companies to provide cost share required by ARPA-E.
Especially relevant to the REMEDY FOA, a noteworthy characteristic of our compression technology is that it is “right sized” for many of the dispersed sources of anthropogenic methane.
While our proprietary technology can be applied to REMEDY, it is important to emphasize that we have a proven track record to commercialize and build a successful business around the seedling of an ARPA-E award. We have shown the ability to:
• Develop industry commercialization partnerships, including demonstration projects
• Attract industrial, institutional, and private investors to further commercialization objectives
• Gain the necessary certifications to meet governing regulations and compliance requirements
• Create extended teams of professionals to provide necessary technical and business skills without incurring the time and expense of relying exclusively on internal hires
• Develop a service and support operations network to support product deployments in the field across the US and Canada
• Build an industry/market/brand image that exceeds expectations leveraging effective marketing, including the use of social media and state-of-the-art web tools and skills.
While the primary, current focus of our business is the sales, manufacturing, and support of our current portfolio of products-the GoFLO®, GoFILL™ and GoVAC™-we would welcome the opportunity to explore ways to leverage our technology, business skills and experience that address the vital challenges identified in the REMEDY FOA. |

| Prabhu Energy Labs ("PEL") is developing a compact, single pass methane oxidizer that will oxidize methane streams as weak as 0.2% in air, or anything stronger (as measured by mass). The new oxidizer, the “Oxiperator”, will operate continuously, consuming methane without need for supplemental fuel. For methane streams between 0.5 and 0.7%, The Oxiperator can provide process heat or steam for power. For streams above 0.7%, it will power a gas turbine to generate electricity. The Oxiperator operates continuously, and unlike regenerative thermal oxidizers that must cycle back and forth, does not require ceramic heat soak media or catalyst to aid oxidation.
The Oxiperator has the potential to consume a wide range of anthropogenic methane, from landfills, oil and gas production, processing and distribution, dairy and water treatment digesters. It will also be able to generate power using traditional fuels such as natural gas, propane, and volatile liquid fuels. It could also use emerging fuels such as hydrogen and ammonia.
The rate at which methane oxidizes rises exponentially with temperature. As it oxidizes, the temperature increases, accelerating the oxidation. The oxidation rate also increases with pressure, but linearly, and not as rapidly. Edan Prabhu, founder of PEL received a US patent for an Oxiperator that oxidizes based on these facts. Prabhu Energy Labs is conducting tests in El Cajon, California that are demonstrating the technology, powering a small gas turbine with a 1% methane in air. Future tests will use even weaker streams of methane.
While the Oxiperator can consume methane, it can also consume other waste fuel gases, almost all of which oxidize at temperatures below those for methane. The Oxiperator can switch from one fuel to another on the fly.
Oxiperator technology has the potential to consume tens of millions of tons of seeping methane a year, equivalent to reducing gigatons of carbon dioxide emissions. |

| Low Carbon Beef (LCB) was founded in 2018 to certify beef with a significantly reduced carbon footprint over US baseline beef production. Our protocols improve the sustainability of beef production primarily through reducing greenhouse gas emissions, including methane. By combining high-performance genetics and low-carbon management practices, LCB protocols can significantly reduce the emissions from beef production as compared to the U.S. average. LCB is a branded beef program focused on filling the market demand for environmentally sustainable meat.
We provide an economic incentive for beef producers who reduce their methane emissions and other greenhouse gas emissions, which offers a commercialization opportunity for groups that possess methane-reduction technologies or feed additives relevant to beef production. Methane emissions from cattle can be measured with a GreenFeed system or similar. We use lifecycle assessment to quantify the amount of emissions that are reduced and award a certification - analogous to USDA Organic - for beef produced with low emissions.
Beef production yields relatively large amounts of greenhouse gas emissions that result from manure, digestion (i.e., burps), feed production, and machinery. In total, beef cattle generate roughly 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. The average emissions for beef production are estimated to be 46 kg CO2e/kg carcass weight (CW) globally and 28 kg CO2e/kg CW in the U.S., as compared to only 6 kg CO2e/kg CW for pork, and 5 kg CO2e/kg CW for chicken [FAO, 2013; Beauchemin et al., 2010; Capper, 2012].
Dr. Beal established Low Carbon Beef LLC in 2018 and manages the operations of the company. He grew up raising cattle with his family and went on to receive engineering degrees from Virginia Tech (B.S.) and The University of Texas at Austin (M.S. and PhD). He returned to cattle ranching in 2011 while working for several large cattle ranches in Wyoming and started an Angus seedstock company (Beal Cattle Co.) in 2015, prior to launching Low Carbon Beef.

| REI Drilling (REI) focuses on horizontal directional drilling applications primarily in the mining industry, including methane collection from coal beds. We are routinely involved in degasification projects at active coal mines, and we also have been involved with abandoned mine sites and outcropping coal seams that vent high levels of methane. We can install directionally drilled boreholes to collect methane that would otherwise vent to the atmosphere, and the collected methane can be flared or captured to limit greenhouse gas effects. Horizontal holes have the benefit of being in-seam along their entire lengths, which typically leads to more efficient drainage compared to an array of vertical holes.
Our equipment is safe for use in potentially-explosive environments like coal mines, which is a significant safety consideration when producing methane. Our directional boreholes are designed and installed based on the source of the gas, which may be from multiple coal seams, sealed mines, gob areas, or other strata such as certain shales. We have experience navigating coal beds with holes beyond 5,000 ft in length, and we have successfully navigated seams as thin as 2 ft. Typical borehole sizes are 3.8 inches in diameter, and we can ream to larger diameters as needed. We also use modeling software to predict gas production rates and can assist with the design of pipeline infrastructure.
REI is based in Salt Lake City, Utah but can work in any region of the United States.
We are interested in this program because we have extensive background and experience in methane collection in mining. We can contribute to any solutions that involve drilling, such as using horizontal directional drilling to control methane venting from active and abandoned mines, as well as outcropping coal seams. |

In my consulting work thru K&E Petroleum Consulting, I have become involved in a number of projects including used oil re-refining, plastics to liquids technology, domestic hydrocarbon management including utilization of high wax crudes and also gas to liquids processing. The latter is most applicable as I have specific technologies and opportunities where one can take natural gas and in particular methane and convert into synthetic naphtha, distillate, wax and base oils for various applications. I have been involved with gas-to-liquids (GTL) and coal-to-liquids (CTL) for 20+ years and have authored technical reports and documents on potential end applications for the products from these technologies. The market wants these high end materials and they would also be a benefit to the DOE and other government/private entities. One project that I am involved as a senior consultant would be to take excess (or stranded) methane and convert into synthetic products. The project requires some investment for final technical demonstration via pilot plant testing and financial sponsorship for this work would be appreciated. The technology can be applied anywhere in the US where sufficient methane quantities are available, or transported to a central location where it can be processed. I am happy to share some of my work in this area at your request.
