1. Updraft Tower for Solar Energy Supply An economic and inexhaustible source of energy for the World.
Solar Updraft Towers – a solar energy based technology for worldwide use to cover a substantial part of future world energy supply. Global energy demand will increase by 50 percent according to OECD forecasts in the next 25 years. At the same time industrialized are forced to reduce climate destroying emissions whereas emerging and developing countries must install and invest into cost efficient and environmentally safe energy sources. This will generate a huge demand in new and substituting power generating capacity. Solar Updraft Towers are the perfect answer to meet these challenges.
Available versions: 50 MW effective power (here described in the following) 200 MW effective power
Development partner: Schlaich Bergermann Solar GmbH, Stuttgart/Germany www.sbp.de/en
Reference: Pilot installation in Manzanaraz/Spain
The technology of the solar updraft tower combines three well-known factors: 1. Air is heated by solar radiation under a low circular transparent roof (like in a green house) open at the periphery. 2. Suction from a high tower located in the center of the roof draws in the hot air from
the collector (chimney effect), and cold air flows in from the outer perimeter. 3. The energy contained in the constant air flow is converted into mechanical energy by pressure-staged turbines (wind mill) at the base of the tower, and into electrical energy by conventional generators.
Technical specifications:
Advantages:
Solar radiation as emission-free and zero-cost source of energy
Energy generation with both direct and diffuse solar radiation (crucial for tropical countries where the sky is frequently overcast ) and even at night, ensuring 24-hr operation and base load qualification
Simple and very reliable technology with low operating and maintenance cost
Ubiquitous and cheap availability of main construction materials (sand, cement, glass); no risk of shortages in supply of raw material
Excellent energy balance – in fact, technology can be reproduced on site
No competing land use as located in stone deserts. Thus no competition with agricultural or environmental usages and low property acquisition cost
No cooling water needed unlike conventional power stations and most solar-thermal technologies – a key advantage in sunny and dry countries with scarce water resources
Long lifetime with limited replacement requirements after 25 and 60 years

Implementation in highly industrialized countries, but also in less developed countries with advantage of use of local labor and resulting local employment
Low energy generation cost compared with competing solar technologies and significant potential of future cost reduction
Already today with optimal configuration electricity generation costs at competitive levels with conventional power generation
Disadvantages:
Limited to areas with high solar radiation (US, Southern Europe, Africa, Asia etc.)
Need of energy transmission from areas with high solar radiation to industrialized countries with low solar radiation (3 percent loss per 1,000 km)
High initial capital investment
Experience and available data derived from significantly smaller pilot plant
Financial specifications:
Construction cost € 350.0 mn Equity (as proposal!) € 158.5 mn (45%) Debt (repayment time 25 yrs) € 191.5 mn (55%)
Revenues (European based):
Energy revenues € 32.4 mn p.a.
Revenues from CO2 certificates € 1.2 mn p.a. Other revenues, agriculture, tourism, naming rights) n.n. p.a. Total revenues € 33.6 mn p.a.
Costs:
Operation and maintenance (O&M) € 1.2 mn p.a. Insurance € 0.2 mn p.a. Initial interest payment (6% interest rate; interest declining in future yrs with growing repayment of capital) € 10.9 mn p.a. Depreciation (25 yrs) € 13.2 mn p.a.
Total cost € 25.5 mn p.a. Taxable income € 8.0 mn p.a.
Cash flow to investors (before tax) € 14.9 mn p.a.
Cash flow to investors (before tax) as % of equity 10,0% p.a.
Sustainable Investment into Solar Energy
Subject of investment: commercial updraft tower power plant based on experience from smaller pilot plant.
Target investors: governments, environmentally conscious individuals and fund and
asset managers who want to diversify their portfolios in the growing market of solar energy and are prepared to make long-term investments with high and guaranteed yields for decades ahead
Type of investment: direct share in Project Company with local operating facility
Investment schedule: t.b.d.
Finance structure: t.b.d. Revenues: energy sales, sale of CO2-certificates, tourism, advertising, naming
rights, possibly agriculture
Yearly payouts: > 8 percent preferential payout on nominal capital plus share of exceeding profits
Depreciation: Effective life time is much higher than normal depreciation period of
25 yrs. Therefore tax benefits exceed effective wear and tear.
Risk: Technological risk is low as the basic effects are well known and extensively researched. Actual energy output may deviate from projections by +/-10 percent. Even if output were 10 percent below projections this could be offset by an additional investment of only 4 percent of total construction cost.

2. HTCW power plants (HTCW – high temperature conversion of waste; it isn’t an incinerator!)
General
Development of a Waste to Energy Power Station providing the solution for all types of waste material including industrial/hazardous waste streams. The numbers of plants can be determined in regards to local requests. Plants will be built within 24 months after funding.
Various experts and institutions have examined the HTCW technology during operation at the HTCW R&D Plant in Germany and surveys can be delivered on request.
Technology
Plants that treat waste, disposal ones as well as utilization ones, have the following tasks:
• Volume and mass reduction • Destruction of hazardous material potential • Substantial and energetic utilization
The HTCW®-Process fulfils these tasks through thermal and chemical transformation of the highly heterogeneous waste material into manageable streams of materials. For the material and energetically utilization of waste, it is necessary to “remodel” the highly heterogeneous materials in a way that makes them further useable. This can be achieved by thermal treatment of the waste. During the various steps of the high-temperature melting gasification process, the physical and chemical characteristics of the feed material are therefore transformed correspondingly. By means of drying, degassing, gasification, burning and reduction, the volume of the operational material is clearly reduced and furthermore useful
substances in form of synthesis gas, slag and metals arise. Through destruction of organic materials, inerting and concentrating of non-organic materials, the hazardous components are destroyed and thus disposed of. This way, the amount of remaining material that has to be disposed of, e.g. concentrated salts and dusts, is extremely small. Before charging the feed material (waste) into the gasification reactor, it is pre-treated minimally, only. It is not sorted, only coarsely reduced to small pieces. Metallic or mineral admixtures which the input material may contain are even desired for the process. Depending on the composition of the feed material, additional materials as coke and limestone are added. The input material sinking down the furnace shaft is subject to a controlled pyrolytic decomposition of the organic components, whereas the shaft gas is enriched with the pyrolysis products. The enriched pyrolysis gas is put into the high-temperature area. There it gets almost completely converted by means of oxygen as gasification agent. This way the organic compounds are decomposed into low-molecular components at
reaction temperatures of ca. 2.000°C. Depending on the size of the plant and the operational material, the gasification has an efficiency of 75 to 80 %.
HTCW® patents are property of the initiators of this project and can be delivered along with the detailed technology concept on request.
Input
Each plant can treat an input of 40,000 tons per year of waste material such as municipal solid waste, hospital waste, tyres, asbestos, contaminated wood etc.
Output
The plant will produce about 10 Megawatt of electricity; after deduction of the own need it can feed about 7.7 MW to the grid. Other output products are: mineral slag, cast iron, heat etc.
Total investment per HTCW power station
Approx. 65.000.000 Euro (for a 40.000 t p.a. capacity, smaller versions possible) Construction time
24 month after funding EBITDA of future operations
Approx. 45% of total income Triple net yield (ROI)
Up to 12% p.a.
Technology comparison
The main unique selling points of the HTCW technology are the facts that it can handle all types of waste without pre-sorting, and converts the waste into valuable products without producing harmful emissions. As this includes even hazardous wastes, we cannot speak of competitors, as other waste treatment technologies can either not convert all types of waste, or require a certain pre-treatment of the waste (as for example shredding), or are not able to destroy the harmful substances within the waste. The HTCW technology is especially useful for those types of wastes that other waste treatment technologies cannot handle at all, or not without emitting harmful substances. Nevertheless we will have a look at the common waste treatment technologies in use in comparison to the HTCW technology:

Abstract Of The Business Plan
solar evolution systems gmbh (SES) is engaged with the development and
the following production and marketing of a photovoltaic film and its
applications based on polymer plastics. For the financing of this project
strategic investors are being searched for.
Introduction
Worldwide research is in progress for alternatives to the existing solar cell
technologies, since these products commonly use the raw material silicon which is
problematic: With silicon, only low efficiencies, currently 10-16% are being achieved.
Further, the production of these solar cells is very energy and time-consuming, which
causes scarcity and a negative energy-balance, which is forth taken into the 6th
year
of its use and is on the other hand very expensive, so that these technologies
become economic only through governmental subsidies. Various new companies are
currently working on the development of organic photovoltaic plastic films and will
enter the market soon1. However due to their limited technological approach, they will
only be able to offer a partial solution to the silicon problem. For these new organic
cells the production costs will decline considerably, nevertheless, neither the
efficiencies with approx 5 - 10%, nor the long-time durability of approx. 5 years will be
close to the current specifications of silicon based technologies.
Active Principle
the basis of a special active principle: Light or photons are being polarized while
passing through extremely dense parallel rectifying antenna arrays. Through this the
photons energy vector is divided into two energy components, which on a nano-scale
are absorbed by the antennas and are then transferred from antenna to antenna, to be
then transferred to the electrodes. The antennas are nano-sized and in this way
correspond ideally with the wavelengths of light, as for example a radio antenna from a
car corresponds ideally with radio-waves. On 1cm2
Nanopolytech®-film has
approximately 10 quadrillion antennas, which have a distribution of lengths, to not only
absorb the entire visible light spectrum, but to be able to also absorb the adjoining
ultraviolet and infrared light. Thereby and through the specific form of the light-energy-
organization (through polarisation) and energy-absorbance (through nano-antennas,
also called quantum wells at this nano-scale) are - in comparison to all other methods-
unrivalled in the high efficiencies that are achievable. SES’ technology will by far
surpass efficiencies of the currently used methods (midterm, approx. 2 - 3 years, over
20%, long term over 40%).
The manufacturing process in the so called roll to roll method is relatively simple and
highly productive, and the production cost will be significantly under 0.50 €/Wp in the
mid-term and will be only 1/5 of the cost of current technologies.
SES’ Nanopolytech®, on the basis of Nanotechnology is the solution. Nanopolytech® is
a novel, thin and flexible photovoltaic film made from polymer plastic, which works on

in Brandenburg - East Germany, for the production of their photovoltaic films with an efficiency of approx. 10%.

Products Patents
Due to its unique characteristics – thin, flexible and light, Nanopolytech® will find usage
over the current and common applications of solar-cells (for example solar-modules on
the roofs of houses and solar power fields) in further various, innovative applications.
For this, electrical-energy can also be generated from coated window-panes, sun-blinds,
high-rise-facades, tents, portable solar-mats and even in hybrid-cars. Applied on the roof
of a house, 8 - 10 m2
of Nanopolytech® (installed as a solar-module), with an efficiency
of 35% would be sufficient, to supply a family of four all year-round with enough energy.
Planned Applications
Based on the advanced R&D results, in June 2007 SES filed a patent at the German
brand and patent office, in June 2008 a world patent (PCT) at the European brand and
patent office for Nanopolytech®.
Due Diligence
In July 2008 SES received the official notification by the SAB Saxony Development
Bank of getting government grants after a nine months technical and economic Due
Diligence audit. Based on the support guidelines of the Saxon State Ministry of
Economic Affairs and Employment, SES got the notification of non refundable
subsidies in the amount of 65% of the eligible costs. This concerns at first the
development phase 1 and stands for a subsidy ratio of nominal 18 – 20% relating to all
emerging development costs.
Furthermore, for this technology various scientific studies and expert reports are available.
This includes not only a current feasibility paper from one of the leading polymer-research-
companies of Germany, the Polymaterials AG, which evaluated the venture “as overall
promising”, but further also three “Proofs-Of-Concept“ from the year 1996 by the US Air
Force, Dept. Air Base Energy Systems, the American CIA and the Texas A&M University,
which altogether have proven the functionality of Nanopolytech® through lab experiments.

Stage of Development
The efficiency which was measured in the proofs-of-principle was 0.2%. However, due to
various own developmental research insights, especially those from the last 36 months,
as well as the general technological progress overall, it was possible that our scientific
team was able to develop not only new development methods, but in addition to that also
new and better materials, which are now available, to make a fast and significant increase
of the efficiencies very probable. This includes new electrode structures, which will help to
considerably reduce the resistance (to a hundredth (!) of the resistance of the original
materials used), as well as new chemical conversion processes, which will increase the
conductivity of the material by far. At this current stage, the immediate goal is to
implement these new insights and materials under a suitable infrastructure under lab
conditions in a clean room. Due to a current statement from Polymaterials AG it may be
possible in this stadium, to create efficiency in a two digit area, which would already be a
significant breakthrough in the field of organic photovoltaic.
Based on the results and potentials, SES expects the following milestones in the Figure above: Lab-Machine and Film-Production

Production- and Marketingphase
Development Team Markets
The Nanopolytech technology is based on an invention of Dr. Alvin Marks2, a
renowned and experienced US-American scientist and inventor. The chief scientist of
SES worked for many years on this technology together with Dr. Marks, before he
then continued his research & development independently with his team at the
University of Maine. He is co-founder and also co-owner of SES and will soon re-
locate with his university development team to Germany, to continue his research &
development work, together with German colleges, experienced engineers and
polymer-experts.
The two directing managers of the SES are experienced Masters of Business
Administration and have been working together for many years. They have long term
practical experience in the successful establishment of Start-Up companies, as well as in
project management, sales & marketing. The company-founders of SES have externally
created a substantial network with specialists in all relevant fields of polymer-chemicals,
machine-building, as well as the financial management and legal issues, in order to
achieve the fastest possible results under ideal conditions, to secure the success of the
company. After incorporating solar evolution systems gmbh (similar company-form to an
American LLC) in April 2007 as well as the filing of the German patent in June 2007 and
world patent in June 2008, the company founders are mainly focussed on the financing
on the now upcoming product-development.

Dr. Marks was a successful scientist and inventor in the fields of energy, optics and environmental-technologies, who currently holds 122 patents. Dr. Marks has laid the foundation for today’s LCD- Technology as well as the 3-D Film-Technology with his various scientific pioneer achievements.
solar evolution systems gmbh operates in the photovoltaic market in one of the
boom markets of the present and future. In the recent years a rapid growth was
recorded (2007: EU +44%, Germany >+50%; Market-Volume 2007 in Germany:
> 7 billion Euros (2005: 3 billion Euros)), which is expected to be also on a long-
term in the range of 30%, annually. Recent political events, like the voluntary
self obligation of the EU-States, to generate 20% of their energy demand
completely from renewable energies, till the year 2020, support and propel the
market growth. In addition, with Nanopolytech® it will be possible, to conquer
new countries and therefore markets, in which no renewable-energy laws exist.
Therefore Nanopolytech® will be economically profitable also without
governmental subsidies due to its inexpensive production costs.
Employment and Jobs
As a further and substantial goal of the founders, it is to assist in the creation of new
employment in Germany and in Maine in one of the most promising future-branches of
a relatively new industry. In direct jobs, currently the following numbers can be
calculated:
R&D-Phase
Number of direct jobs on the estimated timeline
Furthermore SES will create thousands of jobs in adjacent industries and service
oriented sectors. For example in the branch of solar-module-producers, further small
trade (roofers, heating-companies, solarists (solar-sales-people) etc.).

Use of Financial Means Production-, Turnover- and Profit-Forecast
The planned use of the financial means is shown in its single positions as follows:
R&D Preproduction+Production
When reaching the forecasted goals, due to the technical and economic
uniqueness of Nanopolytech® in the strong growing photovoltaic market,
production- and turnover figures3
can be achieved, which can bring SES
already 5 years after its market launch into the field of the market leader with its
own brand product4.
Due to the low production costs of the Nanopolytech®-Film and its various
areas of application, it would already be possible to market the film profitably
with an efficiency of only 8%. For this reason the basic financial success of the
investment is independent from the expected high efficiencies.
The main part of the costs emerges in the personnel department since the
development is very people-intensive, and in the area of investments for the
needed infrastructure. The overhead costs also include one-time costs like e.g.
capital finder’s fees.
The high investment costs in the production preparation phase consist primary of
production machine costs and infrastructure costs.
The ongoing investment costs in phase 4 emerge from the expansion of the
production capacities, the production costs from the first years relative high
output.
3uDe to the lack of space, at this point it must be referred to the detailed business plan, in regard of the strategic marketing concept of Nanopolytech®. 4sAa comparison: The solar-cell producer Q-Cells AG had already in its 7
th year after its
marketing launch a turnover of approx. 860 mill. € in sales in the year 2007, and further a stock exchange value of approx. 4.8 billion Euros.
