Transcript of Lion energy2013
Lion Alternative Energy PLC
Presentation For “Accredited Investor” For High Return
Lion Energy Group is the UK based holding company for a series of projects in renewable energy
The group focuses on new clean technologies that bring strategic and financial advantages to its stakeholders
Current activities are in solar energy, storage of energy, water purification and desalination
Group has built an experienced and knowledgeable team over the last 20 years with energy, utilities and chemical sector backgrounds
The Lion Energy Group provides a 21st. Century energy solution
Lion Energy Group – Introduction
Mission is to provide low cost clean energy from renewable resources and to exploit other green technologies
Aims to capitalize on proprietary technology in solar power and new generation storage batteries
Initially focussing on the France and Italian market with abundant sunshine and generous government subsidies and grants
Current operations are installation of PV solar power stations using existing technology and developing and bringing to market of new technologies that are already at the stage of building a demonstrator via a proof of concept site
Float on London AIM after 2 years

Why France and Italy?
• France and Italy has abundant hours of sunshine for generating solar electricity
• Renewable energy is fully supported by high feed tariff
RISK MODEL
RISK
REWARD
high
highlow
Traditionally, high rewards were associated with high risks. With 15% IRR the RISK IS LOW but the
REWARDS REMAIN HIGH
Traditional Model
Why invest in Lion?
90% invested in proven PV&WIND plants With IRR 15%
Risk is lowered through a 15% IRR and guaranteed feed-in tariffs for electricity generated – i.e. there is a guaranteed market at a known price
10% invested in developing complementary new technologies
Rewards for successful commercialisation are extremely high whilst the risks have been significantly lowered
An exit route is provided via future listing on London AIM
Price fixed in advance at a 15% of IRR with 20 year contracts.
Obligation of HTSO to connect RES companies
Captive market – need is already known and Lion Energy fills a defined gap
Technology is existing and proven
Product demand is likely to increase as policy makers seek alternatives to fossil fuel from renewable energy
Advantages for Lion Energy
Solar Thermal/Hydrogen Storage
Lion Energy’s system combines electricity generation with 18-24 hours storage making it a 24/7 generating operation
Low maintenance of equipment compared to other solar generating devices leading to lower costs
Use of cheap recyclable materials keep costs down
Flexible and modular – from a household size of 5 kw to 100 mw (20,000 households)
Higher efficiency means less land needed for construction
Technology
Price fixed in advance at a % of current domestic rate to consumers with 10 year contracts.
Obligation of HTSO to connect RES companies
Captive market – need is already known and Lion Energy fills a defined gap
Technology is proprietary
Product demand is likely to increase as policy makers seek alternatives to fossil fuel from renewable energy
Market for expansion in nearby countries and further afield
Experienced international management at CEO, COO and CFO level
Advantages for Lion Energy
Solar Thermal Power Plant
Solar Powered Desalination Plant
• Funding of €8m required for 10mw proof of concept plant
• Equity of €4.8m, Loan €3.2m
• Estimated 12 months to ready
• Expected revenues of €4m p.a. when complete
Rainfall is low in Mediterranean
Water is transported by ship to meet needs, which is expensive and transport costs are increasing
Desalination plants provide a solution
Water sold to local authorities not to consumers
Investment subsidy of 15%-55% available
Europe Water– Key Facts
Parts of France are very arid, with little or no summer rainfall
Water demand is in summer when there is little rainfall and peak tourist period
Lion Energy’s technology uses solar power to drive the plants resulting in low cost high quality distillation
Key is combining low cost solar energy with Lion Energy’s new design in desalination resulting in significantly lower costs
Desalination Programme
DesalinationDesalination plants are energy intensive. Combining cheap efficient
solar energy in arid regions with desalination can produce cheaper water solutions
Lion Energy’s proprietary system is a thermal process using a revolutionary turbine which can operate at low temperatures
Maintenance costs are reduced through smart design (fewer parts) and use of recyclable polymers which significantly reduce scaling.
Installation is quicker than traditional designsThe modular design makes the system ideal for many uses and
permits up-scaling of facilities if required
Technology
Battery • Funding of €5m required for proof of
concept • Equity of €3m, loan €2m• Estimated 14 months to ready • Will complement existing products by
providing lower cost energy storage permitting 24/7 operation of solar plants even in hours of darkness!
Why is the battery development so important?• Nature is not constant – there is no
sunlight at night, the wind does not blow every day…..
• For renewable energy to compete with fossil fuels a low cost storage solution of excess energy for later release is critical
• Lion Energy’s battery is a revolutionary step forward and has a wide range of applications
Energy is consumed at times when there is no direct sunlight which necessitates a storage medium
Lion Energy has developed a means to store excess energy that can be released later, providing a 24/7 energy supply
Proprietary technology
Converts chemical energy into electrical energy using reversible redox regenerative reactions
Lower costs and higher efficiencies than conventional batteries
Modular – suitable for a large range of applications
Storage Battery
Redox Flow Battery Design
Lion Energy’s battery will be the best solution available – nothing short of revolutionary according to some commentators
