HIGHLIGHTS EdenCrete®

US EDENCRETE® MARKET

SALES

o Total US EdenCrete® sales for Q4 FY 2021 fell from A$377,420 in Q4 FY2020 to

A$294,383 in Q4 FY2021, a year-on-year decrease of 22% (when reported in AUD), largely

caused by a delay in the commencement of the I-675/75 Highway Repair Project*.

* I-675/75 Highway Repair Project- Georgia

Project awarded to the lowest tenderer in April 2021, butwas delayed due to

cement shortage

The successful tenderer has now secured a ready-mix supplier and the project

is likely to start towards the end of August 2021.

A purchase order for the required EdenCrete® was received in July 2021.

The project is calculated to require 10,700 cubic yards of concrete that will

utilize 21,400 gallons of EdenCrete® with an aggregate value of US$535,000.

The scope of each of the two earlier, similar sized major highway repair

projects was expanded during the construction phase, resulting in a greater

quantity of concrete (and hence also EdenCrete®) being required than was

originally projected.

COLORADO DETAILS

CDOT- CENTRAL 70 SHOTCRETE PROJECT

TDuring the quarter, the use of EdenCrete® in the shotcrete concrete mix on the major Colorado

Department of Transportation (“CDOT”) Central 70 project continued (see Eden’s ASX announcement

(ASX:EDE) 15 November 2018).

This project involves the reconstruction of 10 miles of the I-70 Interstate Highway through central Denver,

including sinking it in part, and establishing of a park above it. Construction commenced in mid-2018 and

is anticipated to run into the end of the first quarter of 2022.

The Central 70 Project was estimated, at commencement, to require in total somewhere between 6,000

-10,000 cubic yards of the new shotcrete mix used, which would result in:

a reduction in the total amount of cement required for the shotcrete of between 912,000 lbs

(413 metric tonnes) and 1,520,000lbs (689 tonnes);

The estimated aggregate additional fly ash required will be between 204,000lbs (93 tonnes)

and 340,000lbs (154 tonnes).

Page 6: TOTAL SALES DURING FY2021 · 2021. 7. 28. · USA- SALES Total US EdenCrete® sales for Q4 FY 2021 fell from A$377,420 in Q4 FY2020 to A$294,383in Q4 FY2021, a year-on-year decrease

6

An additional small increase of 2% in the mass of aggregate is also added into the new mix.

Eden has not been informed what is the total quantity of shotcrete that has been applied to date on this

project, but from the amount of work done (see Figures 1-4 for photos of work on some of the various

stages), it is anticipated it may well require more than the 6,000 cubic yards original lower estimate.

Central 70 is the first major CDOT infrastructure project involving EdenCrete®. The shotcrete, using a

shotcrete concrete mix developed jointly with Eden is supplied by a Denver based ready-mix and shotcrete

concrete supplier that has used EdenCrete® products since 2015.In this project EdenCrete® is added at

0.25 US gallons /cubic yard of concrete, and produces sufficient compressive strength (6390psi at 28 days)

to exceed CDOT’s project performance requirement of 5,000psi.

Fly ash, a waste product from coal fired power stations, has a zero Greenhouse Gas Footprint, and

currently sells in the Colorado for approximately 50% of the cost of cement. Importantly, producing one

tonne of cement generates approximately 0.927 tonnes of CO 1.

In this major CDOT project that is still ongoing, EdenCrete® is delivering the following:

Less Cement Required - The addition of EdenCrete® facilitated the replacement of 152 lbs (69 kgs)

of cement with 34 lbs (15 kg) of additional fly ash in each cubic yard of the concrete, compared

with supplier’s previous standard shotcrete mix. The result was a lower percentage of cement and

a higher percentage of cheaper fly ash was required;

Lower Greenhouse Gas Footprint - An estimated reduction of between approximately 382

tonnes and 630 tonnes in the total CO2 footprint directly due to the reduction of cement in the

estimated 6,000 -10,000 cubic yards of shotcrete mix for the project;

Cheaper Shotcrete – the net cost saving of more than $3 /cubic yard of concrete (after including

the costs of the EdenCrete® and additional fly ash and aggregate) is achieved with the reduced

cost of replacing cement with fly ash; and

Strong shotcrete – the EdenCrete® mix achieved a compressive strength of 6,390psi at 28 days,

or 27% more the minimum strength required by CDOT of 5,000psi.

Figure 4. Section where shotcrete is being applied on Central 70 Project

The significant benefits delivered by the EdenCrete®-enhanced shotcrete that is being installed on the

Central 70 project, a major CDOT infrastructure project, are likely to open many new shotcrete markets

for EdenCrete®, both in the USA and around the world, and not only for infrastructure projects, but also

for almost all potential shotcrete applications.

As a result, Eden anticipates that these significant benefits, being:

potentially significant cost savings from cheaper materials and less waste,

potentially significant reductions in the direct Greenhouse Gas footprint, and

potentially significant increases in performance of the shotcrete,

are expected to accelerate the existing expansion rate of the EdenCrete® market footprint in the US and

overseas shotcrete markets over the coming months and years, for use in a wide range of shotcrete

applications. These benefits are anticipated to also be relevant to a range of other applications,

particularly where the delivery of concrete is by means of pumping, such as pumping concrete for high

rise construction or for 3-D concrete printing of structures.

This market growth is likely to be further assisted if the recent commencement in the easing of COVID-19

restrictions, both in the US as well as in a growing number of other countries, gains momentum.

Moffat Tunnel Restoration

EdenCrete® has been specified in shotcrete that is to be used in the restoration of the East Portal of the

Moffat Tunnel, an operational tunnel that passes under the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, connecting

Denver with the West Coast of the USA.

Page 9: TOTAL SALES DURING FY2021 · 2021. 7. 28. · USA- SALES Total US EdenCrete® sales for Q4 FY 2021 fell from A$377,420 in Q4 FY2020 to A$294,383in Q4 FY2021, a year-on-year decrease

The concrete of the East Portal has deteriorated badly, particularly the face of the portal, the arch, and

some the interior tunnel lining. EdenCrete® has been specified in the shotcrete to improve durability and

resistance to abrasion, ultimately extending the life cycle. All placards, lettering, and numerals will be

removed and re-used, retaining the portal’s original and traditional design.

For almost 100 years the Moffat Tunnel has serviced Denver, providing a train route through the Rocky

Mountains and continental divide to San Francisco. In addition, the original pilot tunnel continues to

provide fresh water from the mountains to the City of Denver. The tunnel was first opened in 1928. The

East Portal has been subjected to the rigors of a high mountain environment for many years and the East

Portal Repair and Restoration Project that is set to begin mid-July 2021 will renew this historic landmark

entrance for many years to come.

Connecting the eastern and western slopes of the Rocky Mountains at an elevation of 9,200 feet and 2,800

feet below the surface, the Moffat Tunnel is an important rail (and water) connection in Colorado, with

the East Portal located approximately 50 miles west of Denver.

The existing concrete in the East Portal has deteriorated badly, particularly the face of the portal, the arch,

and some the interior tunnel lining. EdenCrete® has been specified in the shotcrete to improve durability

and resistance to abrasion, ultimately extending the life cycle. All placards, lettering, and numerals will be

removed and re-used, retaining the portal’s original design and appearance (see Figure 5)The project is

set to begin mid-July 2021.

The State of Colorado and the Union Pacific Railroad have contracted with Thorcon Shotcrete and Shoring

to provide the demolition and shotcrete. Aggregate Industries will provide the shotcrete mix required.

Although only a small contract, it represents a significant milestone, being the first such contract for use

in Colorado infrastructure, follows success in several extended trials in harsh Colorado conditions.

I-70 - Vail Pass Paving Project Trial Following several years of planning, design and preparation, the Colorado Department of Transportation

(CDOT) recently commenced a major concrete paving trial in the Rocky Mountains on the I-70 Interstate

Highway at Vail Pass, Summit County, Colorado.

For this trial, CDOT collaborated with Peak Materials, the American Concrete Pavement Association

(ACPA), Eden Innovations, and IHC Scott to plan and execute the trial to evaluate the performance of three

different concrete mix designs in the harsh and challenging conditions experienced at approximately

10,000 feet (approx. 3050 meters) elevation.

Historically, CDOT’s high-altitude designs require asphalt pavement due to its flexibility, the ease of

placement and repair, as well as the cost. Their arguments against concrete pavement have been

increased cost, long construction cycles, and extended lane closures creating unsafe traffic conditions.

Further, the soil in the mountains is notorious for movement under load, and a more flexible material

such as asphalt pavement has been assumed to perform better than concrete with regards to cracking.

Typically, high mountain passes like Vail expose pavements to severe winter weather and freeze thaw

cycles that require the application of harsh de-icer chemicals.

Coupled with this, semi-trailers using snow chains and passenger vehicles with studded snow tires for

driving safely in icy conditions create pavement rutting, a dangerous safety hazard for the motoring public.

Relevantly, EdenCrete® in the last seven months has announced two long term, highly successful trials in

similar conditions in Colorado, each of which involved the extreme use of de-icer chemicals and heavy

traffic that together produce extreme chemical and abrasive wear.

The first of these trials, successfully completed in 2020, involved a 3-year long trial on several roads in

Denver, undertaken with the Denver Department of Transport and Infrastructure (formerly called the

Denver Public Works Department) (see Eden’s ASX announcement dated 26 November 2020) and the

second trial, a 15 month trial at the United Airline’s maintenance hangar apron at the Denver International

Airport, was completed in 2021 (see Eden’s ASX announcement dated 3 May 2021).

The argument presented to support this current I-70 trial is that CDOT should use concrete pavement

instead of asphalt, as the service life from placement, until repair or replacement is required, will be

greatly extended, and the life-cycle costs greatly reduced. The economic benefits of the extended service

life is anticipated to more than offset the increased upfront cost of concrete construction, allowing it to

become a highly competitively priced alternative to asphalt. CDOT is evaluating EdenCrete® as one of the

options to achieve this outcome.This is the first time CDOT has placed concrete on Interstate 70 (I-70)

near Vail in such a trial.

Evaluation

The three mixes that CDOT is evaluating are:

a control mix,

a silica fume mix, and

a mix dosed with EdenCrete®.

A 4500 psi (31 MPa) exterior paving mix was specified as the base design for the control. Their second

mix used the same control mix but replaced 7% of the cement with silica fume. The third mix included

EdenCrete® at 2 gal/yd3 (9.9 l/m3) without silica fume.

The concrete pavement sections will be evaluated over time, likely to include at least two winters, for

surface wear, cracking, scaling, and rutting.

Placement Details

The general contractor, provided the milling and paving. Peak Materials was the concrete supplier. IHC

Scott placed approximately 600 yd3 (460 m3) of concrete at a thickness of 6 inches (15 cm) in the drive

lane at Mile Marker 184 on eastbound I-70. Each of the three mixes were placed in approximately 200 yd3

(153 m3) increments (see Figures 6 and 7).

High-altitude highway pavement has always been challenged by the environment. With the first concrete

placement now completed on Vail Pass, successful performance by the EdenCrete® pavement will support

the case for the future use of concrete pavement in both Colorado for other mountainous states. Using

concrete in place of asphalt will not only help to minimize rutting and provide ancillary benefits to public

safety, it is considered highly likely to significantly extend the service life of the pavement and thus also

potentially reducing the life-cycles costs of the pavement, potentially save millions of dollars for DOTs in

mountainous regions of the USA and elsewhere.

Denver International Airport United Airlines Maintenance Hangar Apron Repair Project

With the COVID-19 pandemic beginning to subside, United Airlines has commenced to remove and

replace a number of 26-year-old concrete panels on the apron of their maintenance hangar at Denver

International airport that have deteriorated over time and cracked due to alkali silica reactivity, scaling

due to chemical attack from de-icer chemicals, and that are exhibiting wear and tear from the abrasion

produced by the aeroplane tyres.

In February 2020, several small sections of concrete on the United Apron in front of the maintenance

hangar were removed and replaced with EdenCrete®. After being used for a year, these sections have

shown no deterioration and, as a result, EdenCrete® was specified for use in the replacement of the first

five adjacent panels as part of an ongoing renovation project.

Repair Project Details

The dimensions of each of the first five replacement panels was 7.62 metres x 7.62 metres , each with a

254 mm thickness (see Figures 8 - 11).

The General Contractor, Maynard Construction, specified the use of EdenCrete® at 1 gallon (3.78lites) per

cubic yard for the first five panels and the Contractor, Maximum Civil Construction placed approximately

93 cubic yards of concrete in a 38.1m long continuous pour (see Figure 13). The concrete was supplied by

Martin Marietta Materials’ Piccadilly plant in Aurora, Colorado and a total of less than US$2,400 worth of

EdenCrete® was required.

Maximum Civil reported that the concrete pumped, placed, and finished exceptionally well. The mix is

designed to achieve 4500psi compressive strength at 28 days with no fibre, no welded wire mesh, and no

steel reinforcement.

Future Opportunities

Both the General Contractor and the Contractor have shared that they are very happy with the

performance of EdenCrete® to date and the benefits it provides. There are several more of these panels

that will be replaced this year and in the future. Currently the General Contractor has said that there is a

high probability, that EdenCrete® will be specified in the remaining placements at Denver International

Airport , however the timing and total yardage is unknown at this time. With this pending success, there

are additional opportunities that could be available with other airlines and Denver International Airport

itself, as well as other airports.

Since this first repair project at Denver international Airport (DIA), EdenCrete® has already been used in

at least one further similar project, re-affirming the positive response from the General Contractor

EdenCrete® used in extreme abrasion trial at us drag strip

EdenCrete® is being trialled at the Bandimere Speedway, a nationally recognized US drag racing strip

near Denver, Colorado, in the concrete “Burn Out Boxes” at the start of the quarter mile long drag strip,

where the dragsters spin their tyres to make them sticky before the race, subjecting the concrete to

extreme levels of abrasion (see Figures 12 and 13)

For most of the year, the Bandimere Speedway is used by local racers driving average street-legal

dragsters, but once a year the venue hosts the national competition involving up to 11,000 horsepower,

Nitro -fueled dragsters that can reach 300mph or more and which tear up the concrete surface in the

“Burn Out Boxes” as they “light up” their tyres before each race. This single annual national event

generates more wear to the track than the aggregated wear generated by the weekly races that take place

during the remainder of the year.

The trial, which involved the replacement of the concrete in both “Burn Out Boxes” after only 2 years use,

included EdenCrete® that was added at 2 gallons per cubic yard of concrete. Whilst this is obviously only

a small niche market it is a very important trial for EdenCrete® for a number of reasons. Drag racing is a

global sport and speedways are always trying to improve their facilities.

Motor racing is a major global sport. This trial at Bandimere Speedway provides EdenCrete® an

exceptional, high-profile opportunity to both demonstrate and promote the significant performance

benefits that it can deliver under extreme conditions with other facilities around the world.

This trial is relevant to concrete used not only at drag racing facilities but also for a wide range of motor

racing and other facilities where extreme abrasion occurs (including airport runways where significant

wear from abrasion occurs during take-off and landing) in USA and around the world.

NORTH CAROLINA - SUMMARY OF ACTIVITIES During the quarter:

o Total EdenCrete® sales in North Carolina for the quarter were US$13,750 to one customer

for use in shotcrete applications.

OptiBlend® Sales Summary The total quarterly OptiBlend® sales were 174% higher than in the corresponding quarter

in 2020 and total annual sales rose by 65%. These significant increases were achieved in

spite of the ongoing impact of COVID-19 in both USA and India.

Indian OptiBlend® Sales during Fourth Quarter of FY 2021 and Whole of FY2021

Indian OptiBlend® sales for Q4 of FY21 reached a total of approximately AUD $338,000.

Further, this significant increase, particularly in Indian sales in Q4 of FY 21, took the total Indian

OptiBlend® sales for the 2021 Financial Year to a very impressive total of approximately AUD

$1,033,000, a year on year increase of an exceptional 508%.

This resulted from the sale of 13 units (plus a number of installations of units sold in previous quarters

that had not yet been installed) to two Indian subsidiaries of large international companies and three large

Indian companies, comprising:

o Whirlpool of India Ltd (6 units),

o ABB India Ltd (2 Units),

o Sudhir Power Projects Ltd, a distributor in northern India of Cummins diesel generator sets (2

Units),

o Bikano Foods Pvt. Ltd, a large Indian processed food manufacturer that has a significant export

market (2 Units delivered in the June Quarter with a further three Units scheduled to be

invoiced and delivered in the September Quarter), and

o Haldiram Snacks Pvt. Ltd, a large Indian savoury food and snack manufacturer that supplies

both the Indian and a large export market (1 Unit).

Indian Market Drivers for Increased Sales

The primary driver at present, being outside of the winter months, is the significantly lower price of

Natural Gas for industrial and commercial customers averaging approximately Rs 40 (plus or minus Rs5)

for the same quantity of energy delivered by diesel fuel that would cost approximately Rs 90 (plus or

minus Rs5).

The secondary driver of this sales growth is Government regulations aimed at reducing air pollution.

As previously announced ( see Eden’s announcement 13 October 2020), on 8th of October 2020, the

Environment Pollution (Prevention and Control) Authority (EPCA), a body mandated by the Indian

Supreme Court, banned the use of non-essential diesel generator sets, with effect from 15 October 2020,

in Delhi (the National Capital Territory), Ghaziabad, Noida, Faridabad and Gurugram, that collectively

comprise the National Capital Region (NCR region) during the winter period.

The NCR region encompasses an area of 30,242 sq. km and has a total population of over 47 million

people. Delhi alone, now has a population of over 20 million people. The total population of the NCR

region, Haryana, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu alone is approximately 276 million people, representing an

estimated 20% of the Indian population.

This ban supported similar policies to reduce the air pollution that were earlier detailed in the National

Clean Air Programme (NCAP), which, to date, State governments in Haryana, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu

have already adopted and are considered likely to be adopted in further States.

Page 19: TOTAL SALES DURING FY2021 · 2021. 7. 28. · USA- SALES Total US EdenCrete® sales for Q4 FY 2021 fell from A$377,420 in Q4 FY2020 to A$294,383in Q4 FY2021, a year-on-year decrease

19

Importantly, NCAP expressly approved the retrofitting of diesel-powered generator sets for partial Natural

Gas usage (using a fuel mixture of diesel and Natural Gas) as a cost-effective way to convert the huge

number of existing diesel generator sets across India to a Natural Gas operation, opening this major

market opportunity for the OptiBlend® dual fuel system.

As a result of all these developments, it is considered highly likely that these various decisions and

regulations will significantly extend the geographical footprint of OptiBlend®’s Indian markets, as piped

Natural Gas supplies are progressively rolled out across India.

Eden India believes the growth in demand for its OptiBlend® systems in India, that it has experienced

over the past year, is likely to continue for the longer term and spread to other regions of India apart

from greater Delhi, as the rollout of Natural Gas pipelines extends to new areas, driven by the compelling

market drivers of the far lower cost Natural Gas and the various Government regulations and decisions

detailed above.

US OptiBlend® Sales during Fourth Quarter of FY 2021 and Whole of FY2021 Following an increase in interest from a range of utilities and public institutions emerged after the Texas

Power Crisis in February 2021, the anticipated material increase in US OptiBlend sales in coming

quarters started to emerge, and orders received during the quarter increased on a year on year basis

by 23.6% from A$233,000 in Q4 2020 to A$298,000 in Q4 2021.

The US orders received during whole of FY 2021 however decreased by 34% on a year on year basis

from A$754,000 in Q4 2020 to A$495,000 in Q4 2021 (in part due to changes in the currency exchange

rates). However, this drop in US OptiBlend sales during the quarter was very quickly reversed in the

current quarter (Q1 FY 2022), with the sales in the first 4 weeks of July already reaching approx.

A$1,061,005 (US$781,640), exceeding the total annual US OptiBlend sales levels during each of Financial

Years 2020 and 2021.

OPTIBLEND® BACKGROUND

OptiBlend, designed and developed by Eden US more than 12 years ago, is 100% owned by Eden. It is

a custom fitted hardware technology designed and produced by Eden in the US and India that allows

conventional diesel engines to run on natural gas as its primary fuel without modifying the engine or

the diesel fuel system.

Key features and statistics are that it:

• Works by displacing up to 70% of diesel fuel with natural gas;

• Lowers fuel costs, lower emissions and increased runtime;

• Is a highly efficient, cost effective system that reduces fuel cost and emissions;

• Is used by Cummins on its oil/gas drilling power module using 3 Tier II gensets;

•Is suitable for most makes of diesel engines; installed on most major global brands;

•Has been marketed in US and India for over 10 years – long proven highly reliable and durable;

• Over 200 systems sold and installed across USA, India, Middle East, Africa and East Asia;

• Has a significant market in India).

EdenPlast®

JAPAN

Master batch trials of Eden’s CNT-enriched polymer master batch in Japan, are still ongoing.

CNT Applications

Eden is regularly exploring a range of other possible uses and applications for incorporation of its carbon

nanotubes into a range of other materials and for a wide range of possible applications.

Whilst possible new applications will probably take time to fully develop, the increasing level of interest

from a wider market is confirmation of the significant untapped market potential of Eden’s CNT.

Hydrogen

During the quarter Eden was approached by further companies relating to possible collaborations

involving Eden’s hydrogen capabilities. Preliminary talks occurred but have not been progressed.

However, Eden remains open to considering such a collaboration, provided that it will not compromise

Eden’s existing technologies or other operations in any way.

Eden’s Hydrogen Background Whilst focusing heavily on hydrogen related activities between 2004 and 2012, Eden built, and still retains,

a strong hydrogen technology base (comprising significant know how, techniques, designs and eight

relevant patents).

This includes Eden’s patented pyrolysis process for production of hydrogen and carbon nanotubes/carbon

nanofibres from natural gas (without producing carbon dioxide as a by-product), a patented blender for

blending hydrogen and natural gas to create a highly efficient, low emission blend called Hythane® which

Eden promoted for a number of years, particularly in India, and a patented hydrogen fuelled, internal

combustion engine.

During this period, Eden built a hydrogen electrolyser and an operating Hythane® station for Indian Oil

near the Delhi airport (and which was still operating until 2018), and developed Hythane® bus engines with

Ashok Leyland, the largest Indian bus manufacturer. Eden was also at that time working on joint ventures

with various Indian natural gas suppliers to establish a number of Hythane® bus trials in various parts of

India, but interest in hydrogen as a fuel started to wane after 2008, when US policy moved away from

Page 21: TOTAL SALES DURING FY2021 · 2021. 7. 28. · USA- SALES Total US EdenCrete® sales for Q4 FY 2021 fell from A$377,420 in Q4 FY2020 to A$294,383in Q4 FY2021, a year-on-year decrease

hydrogen as a vehicle fuel to electric vehicles. As a result, none of these early developments in India

progressed beyond the development and planning stages.

Over the past couple of years however, around the world there has been a growing increase in the level of

interest in hydrogen as a fuel, in large part being driven by concern about climate change, which in turn

has resulted in increased interest in Eden’s hydrogen technologies. Additionally, in India, extreme air

pollution in Delhi and other cities is causing great concern, which has resulted in the Indian Supreme Court

having mandated that the 10,000 strong, natural gas fuelled bus fleet in Delhi, be converted to run on a

hydrogen-based fuel, that in the short term is focusing on converting these buses to operate on Hythane®.

This has again resulted in enquiries being received in relation to Eden’s various hydrogen capabilities.

Similarly, in Australia, the Federal Government and various State governments have allocated funds for

research into the production of “clean hydrogen”, opening a further area of possible interest for Eden for

its now commercialised, pyrolysis process that produces, with a very low Greenhouse Gas footprint, both

relatively low-cost hydrogen and high value carbon nanotubes or carbon nanofibres.
