"Waste to Energy, Profitably!"

---

Project Creation

Hyperion through its own activities or from responses to inquiries from food processors or agricultural firms assesses potential project development in those states that are promoting or have exhibited respect for renewable energy growth. Hyperion targets large dairies, livestock operations, food processors, meat processing plants, breweries, and large consumers of fats, oils and grease for their waste and recyclables. It creates a critical mass of these feedstocks to allow the design and construction of a centralized plant. The plant converts the feedstocks into energy through anaerobic digestion called biogas, which is refined into deliverable methane or used as fuel to operate substantial reciprocal generators for the production of distributive electricity.

Anaerobic Digestion

Anaerobic Technology has been in use for over 100 years. The first digestion plant was built at a leper colony in Bombay, India in 1859. Its use reached England in 1895 where biogas was recovered from a sewage treatment facility and used to fuel street lamps in Exeter. Advances in microbiology in the 1930s led to identification of anaerobic bacteria and the conditions that promote methane production. Common present applications:
· Farms - to reduce energy costs and alleviate environmental issues
· Municipalities - waste water cleaning and biogas powered electrical operations
Anaerobic processes can either occur naturally or in a controlled environment such as a biogas plant. Organic waste such as livestock manure and various types of bacteria are put in an airtight container called a digester. Depending on the waste feedstock and the system design, biogas is typically 55 to 75 percent pure methane. The process of anaerobic digestion consists of three steps.
1. The first step is the decomposition (hydrolysis) of plant or animal matter. This step breaks down the organic material to usable-sized molecules such as sugar.
2. The second step is the conversion of decomposed matter to organic acids. This step produces carbon dioxide.
3. And finally, the acids are converted to methane gas.

Benefits to Agricultural and Food Processors

· Reduces Waste Management Costs
· Reduces transportation costs
· Enables business or processing plant expansion without expanding waste management operations and land usage
· Reduces municipal sewage bills with cleaner waste water
· Reduction of leachate ground concentrations
· Significantly reduces carbon dioxide and/or methane emissions
· Elimination of most odors
· Production of a sanitized compost and nutrient-rich fertilizer; and
· Less land usage for aerobic composting and land application

Initial Economic Feasibility

Using various accumulated parameters and initial testing, Hyperion will analyze the infrastructure, transportation, throughput costs, energy output and revenue producing off take potential to determine the initial feasibility of the Project. If initial feasibility proves successful, Hyperion will sign a memorandum or understanding with the targeted feedstock suppliers where Hyperion will investigate and further analyze all aspects of the project development with the goal of determining the economic feasibility of seeking project capital from its investors for the construction and long term ownerships and operation of a waste to energy plant.

Project Development Commitment

Once pre development due diligence is completed, a commitment to develop the project will be made by Hyperion and the target feedstock suppliers. Hyperion will invest its capital and development "know how" and the feedstock suppliers will execute a supply and processing agreement for the long term constant supply of their feedstocks.
