KeyState/Winner Site
Entire 7,000 Acre Winner Tract lies within a Federal Qualified Opportunity Zone
AREA DESIGNATED BY LOCAL, COUNTY, STATE AND FEDERAL ACTION FOR MAJOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
An Opportunity Zone is an economically-distressed community where private investments, under certain conditions, may be eligible for capital gain tax incentives. Opportunity Zones were created under the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, signed into law by President Donald J. Trump on December 22, 2017, to stimulate economic development and job creation, by incentivizing long- term investments in low-income neighborhoods. There are more than 8,760 designated Qualified Opportunity Zones (PDF) located in all 50 States, the District of Columbia, and five United States territories. Investors can defer tax on any prior gains invested in a Qualified Opportunity Fund (QOF) until the earlier of the date on which the investment in a QOF is sold or exchanged or until December 31, 2026.

Hydrogen/Ammonia Economy Breakthrough Low-Carbon Hydrogen Produced from Natural Gas with Onsite CO2 Capture & Storage
‘Using blue hydrogen for the power sector and industry, to replace natural gas, coal, and possibly also residual gases from the petrochemical industry, can rapidly achieve megaton-scale CO2 emissions reduction.’ https://blog.sintef.com/sintefenergy/elegancy-tno-h-vision-project/
NATURAL GAS WILL ALSO LEAD FUTURE REDUCTIONS VIA CCUS WITH POWER GENERATION & INDUSTRY AND WITH BLUE HYDROGEN PRODUCTION
WASHINGTON (April 13, 2020) ̶ The 2020 edition of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) comprehensive annual report on nationwide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, released today, shows that since 2005, national greenhouse gas emissions have fallen by 10%, and power sector emissions have fallen by 27% -- even as our economy grew by 25%.
The United States is a world leader in protecting the environment and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. From 2005 to 2018, total U.S. energy-related CO2 emissions fell by 12%.
In contrast, global energy-related emissions increased nearly 24% from 2005 to 2018. https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/latest-inventory-us-greenhouse-gas-emissions-and-sinks-shows-long-term-reductions-0
Jan. 7, 2020 at 6:00 a.m. EST U.S. greenhouse gas emissions fell 2.1 percent last year almost entirely because of a sharp drop in coal consumption, according to the Rhodium Group, a private data research firm.
“Last year was definitely a good news, bad news story,” said Trevor Houser, a partner with the Rhodium Group and head of its energy and climate team. “There was the biggest drop ever in electric power emissions but little progress in other sectors of the economy.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/us-greenhouse-gas-emissions-fell-slightly-in-2019/2020/01/06/568f0a82-309e-11ea-a053-dc6d944ba776_story.html

GEOLOGIC CARBON SEQUESTRATION OPPORTUNITIES IN PENNSYLVANIA
Cost & logistics offer ‘blue hydrogen' market advantages over 'green' alternative
"Blue versus green is and will continue to be a regional question" said Zane McDonald, lead hydrogen and alternative transport analyst with Platts Analytics.
According to McDonald, regions with ample low-cost natural gas and the potential for CO2 storage capacity in retired oil and gas wells and/or salt caverns – more readily available in both North America and Europe – could make both locations viable markets for launching a blue hydrogen market.
‘BLUE’ MARKET ANALYSIS

KeyState Pennsylvania’s Next Energy Revolution
Why is the 45Q tax credit important?The revamped federal 45Q tax credit provides a foundational policy for incentivizing carbon capture deployment in multiple industries, much like the role the federal production tax credit and investment tax credit has played in wind and solar development, respectively. To fulfill carbon capture’s full potential for reducing emissions, enhancing domestic energy and industrial production, and protecting and creating high-wage jobs, a suite of federal and state policies is ultimately required to complement 45Q and drive investment, innovation, and cost reductions sufficient to achieve economy wide deployment (just as a full portfolio of federal and state policies has accomplished for wind and solar).How does 45Q support carbon capture projects?The expansion and reform of 45Q reduces the cost and risk to private capital of investing in the deployment of carbon capture technology across a range of industries, including electric power generation, ethanol and fertilizer production, natural gas processing, refining, chemicals production, and the manufacture of steel and cement.

What is Selective Catalytic Reduction?Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) is an advanced active emissions control technology system that injects a liquid-reductant agent through a special catalyst into the exhaust stream of a diesel engine. The reductant source is usually automotive-grade urea, otherwise known as Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF). The DEF sets off a chemical reaction that converts nitrogen oxides into nitrogen, water and tiny amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2), natural components of the air we breathe, which is then expelled through the vehicle tailpipe.SCR technology is designed to permit nitrogen oxide (NOx) reduction reactions to take place in an oxidizing atmosphere. It is called "selective" because it reduces levels of NOx using ammonia as a reductant within a catalyst system. The chemical reaction is known as "reduction" where the DEF is the reducing agent that reacts with NOx to convert the pollutants into nitrogen, water and tiny amounts of CO2. The DEF can be rapidly broken down to produce the oxidizing ammonia in the exhaust stream. SCR technology alone can achieve NOx reductions up to 90 percent.
General Rule: 1 Gallon of DEF Used for Every 50 Gallons of Diesel

Former coal surface mining area.220 acre plant site within KeyState managed private wildlife habitat.Major new Elk Habitat in collaboration with local and State experts.Overall, more than 1,000 acres of habitat enhancement through KeyState support.Onsite water treatment plant
AIR QUALITY IMPACT
KeyState will produce enough diesel exhaust treatment for 57% of the diesel used in the Northeast and Central Atlantic and 100% of all used in Pennsylvania. Diesel Exhaust Fluid eliminates 90% of smog forming NOx and particulate matter emissions from diesel trucks, busses, ships, commonly called, ‘Short-Life’ Green House Gases.KeyState will eliminate 90% of the NOx for up to 8,000,000,000 Gallons of Diesel Fuel per year!!
CO2 EMISSIONS
A Gas Synthesis plant is not a ‘cracker plant’ - different process, different science, different emissions profileIntegral CO2 Capture Process
- 174,000 tons of CO2 generated in the manufacturing process is captured and used in the production of Urea for diesel emissions treatment - 104,000 tons of CO2 is captured and permanently sequestered in onsite geological storage.
Hydrogen/Ammonia production with CO2 capture and sequestration = ‘Blue Hydrogen/Blue Ammonia’ are low carbon replacements for conventional ‘Grey Hydrogen/Grey Ammonia’ - 51% reduction in CO2 per ton of ammonia.Blue Hydrogen/Blue Ammonia for transportation fuel, fuel cells and industryBlue Ammonia allows heavy manufacturing to dramatically reduce carbon profileBlue Ammonia as low-carbon NOx reduction of flue gas in Coal, Gas fired power plantsAs cost effective technology advances,100K additional tpy of CO2 can potentially be captured from exhaust gases23% reduction in CO2 per ton of DEF/Diesel Exhaust TreatmentBalance of electrical power provided by adjacent renewable energy project
METHANE EMISSIONS REMEDIATION
INNOVATIVE ‘CLOSED SYSTEM’ - Onsite Methane Production + Onsite Methane Transport + Onsite Methane UseNatural gas is supplied to the KeyState plant from its own new wells and gathering system, and not from the pipeline gas grid with gas from unknown origins and unknown adherence to protective regulations.5 new wells are drilled in year one and approximately one new gas well per year for 20 yearsBest practices elevated by ideal system to monitor, and remediate fugitive methane emissions
