CONVERTING 100% OF LUMBER MILL RESIDUALS INTO NEW REVENUE

Our proprietary and protected Microsnap™ process is designed to convert wet bark, sawdust, wood chips, shavings and other organic lumber-mill residuals into valuable soil products while generating carbon-related revenue.

For qualifying projects, the objective is simple:

Waste → Treatment → Carbon Measurement → Premium Soil → Multiple Revenue Streams

The participating lumber mill (the “Partner”) retains the first agreed portion of each revenue stream as it is received.

For lumber mills seeking to increase revenue, diversify economic activity, and advance sustainable practices, United Terraform offers the lowest-cost option and the highest cash-on-cash returns. It requires no large-scale infrastructure overhaul and can be deployed incrementally across varied landscapes. United Terraform is seeking key partners interested to turn waste streams into valuable coproducts.

The technology employs a specialized microbial activator combined with lumber waste to initiate rapid mineralization and the formation of a “super-compost” or nutrient rich black soil. For more information, if you find the terms enclosed below agreeable, you may call your account executive Carlos at 952-270-3604 or email him at carlos@biz2bizconsultants.com to request a phone conference with one of our principals.

PROCESS OVERVIEW

STEP 1. Tell Us About Your Wood Residuals

The Partner provides basic information regarding its available organic residual material, including:

Wet bark
Sawdust
Wood chips
Shavings
Hog fuel and fines
Other untreated wood and biomass residuals

Minimum target volume: approximately 30,000 metric tons annually.

We primarily need to know:

What material is available?

What species of wood?

How much is generated?

What is its moisture content?

What currently happens to it?

STEP 2. Sign a simple LOI

If the project appears suitable, the Partner and MicroSnap sign a short Letter of Intent.

This allows MicroSnap to invest the time and money necessary to evaluate the project in detail.

No major equipment investment is required at this stage.

STEP 3. United Terraform provides an engineering study

MicroSnap engages and pays for an independent engineering evaluation of the proposed project. The engineer evaluates matters such as:

Feedstock type and annual volume
Existing handling procedures
Baseline carbon characteristics
Average moisture estimates
Processing method
Expected emissions
Carbon retention
Monitoring requirements
Equipment requirements
Potential Federal carbon incentive qualification
Potential Puro.Earth carbon credit qualification
Carbon Lifecycle Analysis (LCA report)

The purpose is to establish a technically defensible project before either party makes a significant commitment, and to ensure that the process engineer will be available to provide on-going support for the operation. This is also important because the engineer, and an attorney will both sign-off on all carbon paperwork after we begin to ensure that we receive the fullest carbon sequestration incentives.

STEP 4. Engineering approval & final agreement

If the engineer approves the project, MicroSnap and the Partner execute the definitive agreement. The intended economics provide the Partner with up to $50 per metric ton of qualifying processed material from three anticipated revenue sources:

45Q-related proceeds, if qualified and monetized $25/ton

Voluntary carbon-credit proceeds $10/ton

Finished soil-product proceeds $15/ton

________________________________________________________________
Total Target partner revenue $50/ton

At 30,000 metric tons per year, that represents a target of approximately $1,500,000 per year to the Partner before considering possible future increases in volume. The balance of project revenues belongs to MicroSnap under the definitive agreement.

Partner gets paid first

Where practical, project revenues are paid directly to the Partner. The Partner deducts its contractual share off the top and remits the remaining amount to United Terraform. This structure is intended to provide transparency and reduce collection risk for the Partner.

All carbon-credit revenues remain subject to actual project qualification, verification, issuance, monetization and applicable tax law.

STEP 5. Install simple processing & monitoring equipment

Following the engineer's recommendations, the Partner installs the required equipment. Typical equipment may include: Pumps, Storage tanks, Spray nozzles, Treatment lines, Monitoring instruments, and Approved emissions testing equipment.

Estimated initial equipment cost: approximately $20,000

The system is designed wherever possible to integrate into the Partner's existing material handling operation.

STEP 6. Apply microbes & begin monitoring

MicroSnap supplies the proprietary microbial treatment.

The microbial solution is applied to the wood residuals according to the engineered treatment protocol.

The Partner then performs straightforward monitoring.

Depending upon the engineer-approved monitoring plan, measurements may include:

Feedstock tonnage
Moisture
Temperature
Carbon content
CO₂ emissions
Methane emissions
Oxygen or related biological-process indicators
Material condition and treatment dates

Measurements are taken at baseline and periodically throughout the approximately eight-week treatment cycle. Certain emissions measurements may initially be taken more frequently and subsequently reduced to weekly or other engineer approved intervals once the process stabilizes. The supervising engineer establishes the final monitoring protocol, and we pay for the engineer.

STEP 7. Carbon Documentation Is Prepared

MicroSnap coordinates preparation of the required carbon documentation.

This may include:

Federal Carbon Incentives

Where the project satisfies applicable requirements, MicroSnap coordinates the engineering, lifecycle-analysis, tax and other documentation necessary to pursue available federal carbon incentives, including potential Section 45Q qualification.

Voluntary Carbon Markets

MicroSnap also prepares the project for an appropriate voluntary carbon removal program. Puro.earth, for example, maintains methodologies for durable carbon removal, including Terrestrial Storage of Biomass, although certification depends upon satisfying the applicable methodology and independent verification requirements.

STEP 8. Valuable Soil Product in 8 Weeks

After approximately eight weeks, the treated material is sampled and tested for Nitrogen, Potassium, and Phosphorus (valuable fertilizer additives).

MicroSnap pays for laboratory analysis.

The laboratory evaluates characteristics relevant to the resulting soil product, potentially including: Organic carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, moisture, pH, organic matter, and other agricultural characteristics. The resulting dark, nutrient rich material can then be marketed as an “enriched compost” or soil amendment, subject to applicable product and environmental requirements.

The Partner's participation in this revenue stream is: $15 per qualifying ton payable from applicable compost proceeds when actually received or monetized, subject to composting licensure which may be required in your area.

STEP 9. Federal Tax Credits Are Monetized

Following the applicable tax year and completion of required engineering, tax and verification documentation, qualifying federal carbon incentives are claimed or otherwise monetized in accordance with applicable law.

The Partner's contractual target allocation is: $25 per qualifying ton payable from applicable 45Q-related proceeds when actually received or monetized.

Section 45Q qualification is determined under federal law and depends on the specific project's capture, utilization/storage, lifecycle analysis and other statutory requirements.

STEP 10. Voluntary Carbon Credits Are Sold

After verification and issuance, MicroSnap markets eligible voluntary carbon credits to institutional carbon buyers.

Potential purchasers may include airlines, major corporations, financial institutions, carbon removal purchasers, and carbon marketplaces and brokers.

The Partner's target share is: $10 per qualifying ton (as defined by the carbon credit buyer) payable when the applicable carbon credit proceeds are received.

THE RESULT

Three Revenue Streams

A material that usually represents a disposal problem (unless the mill is lucky enough to have real buyers) can potentially become three separate revenue streams:

Federal Carbon Value + Voluntary Carbon Value + Soil Sales

For the Partner, the United Terraform model can potentially provide:

New revenue from existing residual material
Product diversification
Reduced waste-disposal requirements
Reduced reliance on low-value biomass markets
Conversion of wet residuals into a marketable soil product
Progress toward zero-waste operations
Potential reduction in methane and other greenhouse-gas emissions
Potential carbon negative or net negative operations, where supported by project specific lifecycle analysis
Engineering oversight
United Terraform funded engineering and laboratory work
Partner receives its contractual share before remitting MicroSnap's speculative portion

Minimum Target Project

30,000 metric tons/year × $50/ton = $1.5 million/year of targeted Partner revenue

A 100,000-ton facility would represent a target of approximately: $5 million per year of Partner revenue subject to actual production, qualification, verification, market prices and revenue realization.
