13 Target market Our PAFC packages are capable of performing functions conventional power plants cannot perform. Generation of multiple outputs +Fire prevention systems +Hydrogen supply station Future Future Conventional fuel +Backup using LPG CHP CHP CHP Unused fuel City gas Natural gas Digester gas Biogas Hydrogen gas By-product gas Conventional system Generation of single output 12

14 Application to supply low-oxygen oxygen-concentration air Fire prevention in 21st century A PAFC package generates low-concentration-oxygen air as well as electricity and heat. Low-concentration-oxygen air makes data centers and warehouses fire-free. The first package began to operate in Germany in July Wismar Germany We have authorized N 2 telligence exclusively to use our PAFC packages for their fire prevention systems 13
