CAD Project in California
Abstract
Calis' main goal is to seek for high­growth opportunities in the renewable energy 
arena, primarily in the Anaerobic Digestion sector.
The company will develop Central Anaerobic Digestion projects (CAD, known also 
as  "central  biogas  projects")  in  California,  under  the  Renewable  Auction 
Mechanism (RAM) program, which was addopted in the state on December 17th
, 
2010,  and  will  manage  the  plants  during  the  20  years  period  of  the  Power 
Purchase Agreement (PPA).
The company is led by Erez Dolev. Being the founder and former CEO of Ledico 
Green as well as the former CFO of Ledico Bosch, Erez has a vast experience in 
renewable energy technologies and posesses a wide knowledge in finance.
The RAM program
California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) adopted on December 17th
, 2010, a 
new program, named Renewable Auction Mechanism (RAM). The goal of the 
RAM program is to provide a simplified contracting mechanism that will enable 
smaller projects to compete in California's mandatory renewable energy market. 
Thus, the utilities will procure up to 1,000 MW of renewable system­side energy 
projects, up to 20 MW in size, that are eligible for the California Renewable 
Portfolio Standard (RPS) program. 
Important to know: 
 The total capacity is allocated among the three utilities based on retail 
sales (SCE, PG&E, SDG&E).
 There will be four auctions over a two year period.
 Bids of Feed­in Tariff (FiT) are to be selected based on price, with the 
lowest price first, until the utility's minimum is reached for each auction.
 In order to reduce transaction costs and streamline the approval process, 
the RAM requires the use of PPAs with non­negotiable standard terms 
and conditions.

Why CAD?
Anaerobic Digestion projects (known also as biogas projects) produce energy from 
the  Methane  that  can  be  extracted  out  of  organic  waste.  Moreover,  the  organic 
waste  convertion  procces  produces  also  other  stable  and  commercially  useful 
compounds. As a general rule, larger plants are more efficient. Therefore, Central 
Anaerobic Digestion projects (CAD), that collect different types of organic waste 
feedstocks, from varied sources (e.g. diaries, markets, food manufacturers etc.), 
are higly profitable. A typical CAD process is depicted in the following diagram:
Source: www.rutherfordrenewables.co.uk
The main advantages of CAD over other renewable energy projects:
 No need for subsidies – grid parity
 Produces energy 24 hours a day
 Not depands on one source of raw material
 High entry barriers – requires specific knowledge
 Several revenue sources (electricity, heat, gate fees, fertiliser)
 Favorable  by  green  organizations  and  state  authorities  due  to  high 
environmental benefits
 Greenhouse Gases reduction

Business Plan
The Projects
The plants will be Central Anaerobic Digestion (CAD) for production of electricity 
and  heat  from  biogas,  5MW  to  20MW  in  size  depands  on  the  availability  of 
feedstock.
The PPA will be signed with one of the following utilities: PG&E, SCE, SDG&E.
Calis will be responsible for all stages:
 Business plan
 Strategic location (interconnection and feedstock supply)
 Permits and authorizations
 Feedstock supply agreements
 FiT auction and PPA
 Financial closing
 EPC negotiation
 Equipment procurement
 Project management
 Management and maintenance of the CAD plant for 20 years
Business Plan
Using  our  and  other  specialists'  knowledge  base,  we  built  a  very  accurate 
business plan with sensitivity tests taking in account each and every aspect of the 
CAD plant construction and opperation.
The business plan includes:
 Gas Production from Feedstock mixture calculation
 Monthly Allocation of Feedstock and Gas Generation
 Fertiliser Value of Digestate
 Closed Periods (if needed)
 Revenues from the Biogas
 Capital Payment Schedule
 Overhead Costs
 Financial Summary
 Profit & Loss
 Source & Disposition of Funds
 Balance Sheet
 Technical Dash Board
 Sensitivity Tests
 Feedstock Values Calculation
In appendix A you may find some screenshots of the Business Plan

Summary
In the following months we will raise the funds for the first project. Receiving this 
document gives you the opportunity to take part in it and to invest in the following 
projects as well. We offer you to join other investors with part of the required equity 
in order to expose yourself and your company to the knowledge and experience of 
this amaizing project and to the future renewable energy oportunities this group of 
investors will be exposed to.
We  will  be  glad  to  elaborate  more  about  the  project  and  the  business  plan  in 
person.
