DBL Portfolio Companies Products Significantly Cleaner Than Incumbents

OPX BioAcrylic chemicals have the potential to achieve an 80% reduction in petroleum use per

kilogram of final product compared to petroleum-sourced

Acrylic Acid

The eco.bottle uses approximately 66% less plastic than traditional rigid plastic

bottles

Tesla’s electric vehicles are 0% petroleum-powered

As of 3/31/11- Tesla Roadsters

had driven more than 16 million real-world kilometers- that's nearly 2 million liters of

fuel that didn't burn

DBL Solar Companies Have Contracts That Equate to A Reduction of Millions of Tons of CO2 Emissions Per Year

US Solar Pioneer PowerLight designed and deployed hundreds of large-scale solar power systems with a total capacity of more than

100MW between 1996 and 2006, when acquired by SunPower

As of 6/30/2012, SolarCity had deployed 201MW of rooftop solar

A solar system for a typical 3-Bedroom home will offset 50 tons of carbon dioxide over 20 years, saving the equivalent of driving a car 160,000

kilometers, the CO2 absorbed by 50 trees or 110,000 liters of water used in electricity

A typical 100MW BrightSource Energy solar power plant will reduce CO2 emissions by

131,600 tons per year based on the California average CO2 emissions of power

plants of 376 metric tons per GWh

Solaria’s net environmental

impact is at least 16X less than

Natural Gas and 37X less than Coal
