Texas Natural Resources, LLC SEADOG® Pump Technology-Introduction

Wave Energy Conversion Device What problem does it solve?

The growing demand for clean, renewable energy

Patented in 79 Countries Primary Renewable Fuel Source Scalable to Different Wave Regimes No Carbon Emissions No Environmental Degradation

Reduces temperature gradient and the disruption of ecologically sensitive shorelines

Safety Meets or exceeds OSHA’s oil

platform standards “Above the storm surge” security

Texas Natural Resources, LLC SEADOG® Pump Technology

How it works: Conversion of natural wave activity into

mechanical energy using displacement and buoyancy

Rising and falling of buoyancy block creates a pumping action

A predicable water flow can then can be paired with an energy conversion device to produce electricity (hydro turbine or water wheel)

First wave technology to harness both potential and kinetic energy Potential: downward pressure from

water weight, gravity and submersion of buoyancy block (“beach ball effect”)

Frank Warnakulasuriya, Ph.DTexas A&M, Galveston:

“Since the SEADOG® Pump is one of the first devices that absorbs both potential and kinetic energy, it represents a significant

advancement in the harvesting of wave energy over many other devices.”

“…when considering the SEADOG® Pump, most of the above mentioned potential problems [mechanical malfunctions] are not

present which can be credited to the simple design of the SEADOG® Pump”

“The possibility of improving the SEADOG® Pump to work at an overall effectiveness in the range of 45% to 55% is visible”

According to recent estimates by the World Energy Council, ocean energy can potentially supply twice as much electricity as the world now consumes

Top Wave Regimes Determined by the following criteria (T W Thorpe 1992): Supply – Swell average, standard

deviation and coastline Need – Population per square km,

capacity for electricity, and economical growth

Opportunities – Consumption per capita, consumption per square km, and political stability

Regulatory Permitting City of Freeport Texas General Land Office

Carlton Bernhard (Professional Services): “The lease and assignment are moving through the pipeline (the documents have to be reviewed and signed off on by Legal and other areas within our agency). No major issues just time consuming. I hope to forward an electronic version of the assignment to you by cob tomorrow and, if not, Monday or Tuesday at the latest. The lease should follow a few days afterwards.”

Army Corps of Engineers Jason M. Hudson: “The only other things I need is typical plan drawings of the

layout of the SEADOG® Pump with the connecting pipes and a plan and cross section view of the facility you plan to install offshore”

Craig Richards

Senior VP, Greater Houston Partnership:

“GHP has been engaged with INR to site the project in Brazoria County where they have received strong support. I understand they are seeking to partner with the Houston Technology

Center. Therefore I encourage you to give them serious consideration”

Robert M. Worley

CEO of the Economic Development Alliance for Brazoria County (EDABC):

“We are very excited about the wave energy project being planned for Freeport! It is exciting for several reasons – 1) renewable, non-polluting energy is a wonderful thing, 2) this project represents a great project for industrial diversity in Brazoria County, 3) we like the fact that it will be a commercially viable demonstration project and should bring visitors from around the

world, 4) good jobs and good addition to the tax base. This project meets several of the economic development goals of The EDABC.”

Larry McDonald

Mayor of Freeport

“I am very impressed with the plans for your development at Bryan Beach and I am willing to support your project as you

presented it during your recent visit to Freeport”
