NET Power uses a new approach to power generation called the Allam Cycle • Traditional CCS is prohibitively expensive ▫ Conventional fossil power generation systems all require Band-Aid CCS approaches ▫ Unavoidably cost-additive • CCS is inherent to the Allam Cycle ▫ An “oxy-fuel, direct-fired, supercritical CO 2 power cycle” ▫ By using pure, high-pressure CO 2 as a working fluid, capturing all CO 2 doesn’t require added costs ▫ Applicable to natural gas AND coal September 29, 2017 The information contained in this material is confidential and contains intellectual property of 8 Rivers Capital, LLC and its affiliates.

NET Power is Environmentally Superior Virtually Emissions Free Greater than 97% CO 2 capture

NET Power is Environmentally Superior Virtually Emissions Free Greater than 97% CO 2 capture • All CO 2 is generated as a clean, high-pressure, pipeline-ready byproduct • Oxy-combustion eliminates NOx production; no other air emissions Low Water Usage Can operate without requiring water • No steam cycle means no steam make-up water required • Eliminates water needs (becoming a net water producer) with air cooling, for a small efficiency penalty Can Operate “Capture Ready” Emits only a nearly-pure CO 2 stream in this configuration Improved Permitting Does not trigger Major Source permitting requirements • Can begin capturing CO 2 without requiring new Capex or a performance penalty • Even when emitting CO 2, still cleaner than any other natural gas plant due to elimination of NOx • No Major Source emissions levels means faster, cheaper, more certain permitting process • No NOx enables siting in EPA Non-Attainment Zones without offsets, which includes many metropolitan regions September 29, 2017 The information contained in this material is confidential and contains intellectual property of 8 Rivers Capital, LLC and its affiliates.

NET Power Offers Improved Flexibility Siting Flexibility Increased siting ability over combined cycle •

NET Power Offers Improved Flexibility Siting Flexibility Increased siting ability over combined cycle • Elimination of NOx enables siting near major metropolitan areas that are EPA Non-Attainment Zones, without requiring purchase of offsets • Streamlined, minor source permitting expands siting opportunities, certainty, and timeline • Performance resiliency at high altitude and in hot, dry climates improves economics compared to combined cycle, which experiences major de-rating in these environments Operational Flexibility Increased operational flexibility due to unique cycle • Turndown not limited by NOx production concerns, as with combined cycle • Large parasitic load enables technology to turndown to zero net load to grid, providing fast response; desirability depends on individual plant economics • Ramp rate similar to combined cycle at 2 -5% minute • Ability to increase power to grid beyond nameplate rating during peak power prices through use of on-site, stored oxygen (temporarily eliminating the parasitic load of Air Separation Unit oxygen production system) September 29, 2017 The information contained in this material is confidential and contains intellectual property of 8 Rivers Capital, LLC and its affiliates.
