4 Highlights • Disruptive Technology — Power Oxidizer provides a competitive advantage for customers, by generating on - site power, lowering OPEX and reducing emissions (air pollution) • Large Global Market — Growing $50 billion global industrial equipment market • First Global Licensee signed — Dresser - Rand, a division of Siemens, is the first global licensee of this technology; provides global sales force, validation, and product warranty • Licensing Model — High margin business that minimizes operating expenses and capital requirements, while accelerating global sales • Positioned for Financial Success — • All current and future turbine license agreements will require each licensee to achieve annual minimum sales that produce positive cash flows at current Ener - Core expense levels.

Disruptive Technology for Pollution Utilization

6 Disruptive Technology for Pollution Utilization • Ener - core has designed, patented and built power generation systems around its proprietary “Power Oxidation” technology • Enables industrial companies to convert a liability (Air Pollution) into monetizable, clean utility - grade power • Industrial pollution (waste gases) such as methane, paint solvents or other VOC streams used as source of “effectively free fuel” • Proprietary Power Oxidation process converts this “free fuel” to industrial quality heat • Heat used to create electricity, steam, chilled water or for industrial processes

8 Ener - Core Oxidizer Emissions Filter Power Oxidizer replaces the combustion chamber in standard gas turbines Modified Gas Turbine with Power Oxidation Our disruptive Power Oxidizer replaces the traditional combustion chamber & enables a gas turbine to generate clean power energy from “free” industrial waste gases (Air Pollution) Solves Two Problems 1. Removal of waste gases into the air 2. Assists compliance with air quality laws Creates Two Savings 1. Reduces purchased energy expenditures • New free fuel input for on - site power • Provides heat for industrial use 2. Pollution abatement savings – NOx Credits • Economic & environmental cost savings

Technology Addresses A $50 Billion Global Industrial Equipment Market

10 $50 Billion Market Opportunity: Expanding Scope of Combined Heat & Power Current Alternative to Purchasing Energy is: Distributed Energy Generation Solar, Wind, Microturbine, Fuel Cells & CHP – Projected $180 Billion by 2020 1 Combined Heat and Power (CHP): Generation of electric power and thermal energy from a single fuel source CHP accounts for 11% of global power production today and projected to grow to 24% by 2030 = $300 billion spend Market Drivers Contributing to Current CHP Growth: • Lower energy operating costs • Reduced emissions • Reduced exposure to volatility of electricity prices • Reduced congestion of utility grid • CHP - friendly policies and incentives (1) August 2015 – Grand View Research
