Commercialization Services Technology Product & Application IP Management Assessment Development Business Scale-up Licensing & Development Manufacturing NewCo creation 14 Tuesday, 8 October, 13
DISCLOSURE We accept early-stage technology disclosures from academic institutions and entrepreneurs For academics, our principle point of contact is the technology transfer/ industry liaison officer GreenCentre will execute all necessary confidentiality agreements and ensure that project submissions are kept confidential 15 Tuesday, 8 October, 13
ANALYSIS Under a 90-day exclusive option, we conduct a thorough technological assessment GreenCentre ’s industry partners provide input Analysis is shared with the institution Possible outcomes: return, proof-of- principle funding or in-licensing 16 Tuesday, 8 October, 13
LICENSING We will sign an exclusive license with the institution There are no upfront costs; we cover all development and IP costs going forward We return a large portion of all net licensing proceeds to the institution/ inventors Institution/inventors share in all licensing returns 17 Tuesday, 8 October, 13
DEVELOPMENT GreenCentre makes the investments needed to close the market gap: • Process optimization • Field-test proof of utility • Scale-up of product candidates • Application development • Pre-commercial sales GreenCentre will license the technology or create start-ups and start sending licensing revenue back to the inventors 18 Tuesday, 8 October, 13

Enabling the Future of Sustainability Tuesday, 8 October, 13
Highlights To Date • In less than 5 years we have assembled a world-class team, built a state-of-the-art facility, developed international networks and have become a globally recognized leader in Green Chemistry commercialization • We have executed 6 out-licenses, created 3 companies and 80 direct jobs in Canada and have leveraged public investment dollar-for-dollar • Our ability to reduce technological and commercial risk has re-kindled interest in Clean-tech investment Tuesday, 8 October, 13
GreenCentre Canada Communications and Marketing • Goal is to create an ecosystem where all participants in commercialization process understand each other, the value of Green Chemistry and how to work together • Building strong stakeholder relationships requires effective communication • Communication strategy also seeks to: • improve public understanding and perception of Green Chemistry; and • improve resource allocation and policy frameworks to advance Green Chemistry.

Switchable Water Tuesday, 8 October, 13
Switchable Water (SW) • CO 2 -switchable water-soluble additive proving a reversible change in ionic strength of water • Part of GreenCentre ’s Jessop +CO 2 low ionic strength portfolio • Addition of CO 2 converts additive to a salt, increasing ionic strength –CO 2 • Removal of CO 2 (by bubbling air), high ionic reverts the additive to it’s non-ionic strength state 27 Tuesday, 8 October, 13
R +CO 2 low ionic H 2 O + N strength R R –CO 2 R H high ionic + HCO 3 N strength R R 28 Tuesday, 8 October, 13
Switchable Water (SW) • Potential Application Targets: • Desalination (osmosis) • Separating water-soluble organics +CO 2 low ionic • Switchable polyacrylamide surrogate: strength • increase water viscosity • flocculation –CO 2 • Biphasic catalyst recovery high ionic • Low foaming surfactants/emulsifier strength additive/emulsion breaker 29 Tuesday, 8 October, 13
Sustainable Clean Water Tuesday, 8 October, 13
One of the greatest challenges facing humanity is abundant access to clean water for human consumption, agriculture and industry. Innovative technologies are needed to address this challenge of the 21 st century. Forward Water Technologies aims to revolutionize the production of fresh water by tapping into an abundant source of water, our oceans. 31 Tuesday, 8 October, 13
Desalination Market Europe India 3% 4% Middle East China 4% 54% Africa 6% $13 B South/Latin 7% America Projected 2013 worldwide market 9% Australia 13% Major Players United States IDE Technologies, Degremont (Suez), Hyflux, Veolia, Acciona Agua, and Doosan Heavy Freedonia Focus On World Water Desalination 32 Citi Water Sector Handbook Tuesday, 8 October, 13
Reverse Osmosis (RO) Desalination Pressure Semi-Permeable RO Membrane Water Flow Salt Fresh Water Water 33 Tuesday, 8 October, 13
Reverse Osmosis (RO) Desalination Pressure Semi-Permeable RO Membrane Water Flow Salt Fresh Water Water High Pressure High Energy High Membrane Fouling 34 Tuesday, 8 October, 13
Forward Osmosis (FO) Desalination Pressure Semi-Permeable FO Membrane Water Flow Salt Concentrated Water Draw Solution In FO desalination, a concentrated draw solution is used to “pull” water through the membrane instead of an applied pressure 35 Tuesday, 8 October, 13
Forward Osmosis (FO) Desalination Semi-Permeable FO Membrane Water Flow Salt Concentrated Water Draw Solution However, now we are left with two salty solutions, where the salt must be removed by another, energy-intensive, process to recover clean water 36 Tuesday, 8 October, 13
This is where Forward Water Technologies’ Switchable Water Technology may be employed for a greener desalination process 37 Tuesday, 8 October, 13
