Refined Coal

© 2016 Advanced Emissions Solutions, Inc. All rights reserved. Confidential and Proprietary. CCS & CCSS: Valuable RC Joint Venture ▪ Clean Coal Solutions (CCS) was founded in 2006 and is headquartered in Greenwood Village, CO ▪ CCS is a leading developer and operator of Refined Coal production facilities (“RC Facilities”) ▪ CCS’ business is supported by Section 45 Production Tax Credits (“PTCs”) created by Congress to encourage the development of RC technologies with eligibility through 2021 ▪ RC Facilities provide emissions reduction solutions to power plants, as proprietary chemical additives are applied to feedstock coal at the plant to produce cleaner burning coal ▪ The Company also retains a 50% ownership in CCSS, which is the services arm of the RC business -7- CCS Ownership Structure ADES NexGen Refined Coal,LLC Goldman Sachs CCS 42.5% 42.5% 15.0% CCS is supported by a diverse group of longstanding investors Royalty

© 2016 Advanced Emissions Solutions, Inc. All rights reserved. Confidential and Proprietary. How it Works: Solid Returns for Both Coal-Fired Utilities & Investors ▪ Required to reduce the emissions of NOx and mercury at their coal-fired generation stations in order to comply with federal, regional and state environmental standards ▪ The coal-fired utilities use RC as part of their NOx and mercury emissions control solutions ▪ The power plants at which CCS has RC facilities are expected to remain in operation well past 2021 -8- CCS Refined Coal Production FacilityThe Coal-fired Utilities The Tax Equity Investors ▪ Investors purchase or lease a RC facility from CCS, and operate the facility through project agreements with CCSS and the utilities ▪ The investors receive the tax benefits associated with the Section 45 clean energy PTCs and the operating losses associated with the project ▪ The utilities may use the resulting emissions reductions to offset their NOx and mercury footprints and as part of their corporate sustainability program ▪ Each facility can produce PTC qualified refined coal 10 years from the placed in service date (2 RC Facilities in 2019 and 26 RC Facilities in 2021) ▪ The PTCs can be carried back one year and carried forward 20 years ▪ The investments are self-funding as investors typically achieve positive net cash flow within the first year

RC Sales or Leasing Model: Compelling for Tax Equity Investors -9- 3rd party investor leases RC facility and receives ~$7.00/ton in tax credits and ~$2.45 in NOLs after tax benefit (assuming a 35% tax rate) Utility gets emission reductions CCS receives ~$3.50/ton in rental income Pays ~$1.00 /ton to utility 3rd Party Investor Pays ~$2.50/ton for operating expenses (which includes ~$0.40 to $0.45/ton royalty for M-45 ™ and M-45-PC™ Facilities) Operating Expenses ADES owns 42.5% of CCS

Confidential and Proprietary. -11- Future Rent Payments – CCS Invested Facilities ▪ As of June 30, 2016, remaining payments to all CCS members from CCS’s current RC facilities leased or sold to tax equity investors are projected to be an aggregate of ~ $639 million from Q3, 2016 through 2021 assuming no modifications of contracts, non-renewals or early terminations ▪ Under those same assumptions, after applicable deductions related to CCS operating and general and administrative expenses, and taking ADES’ 42.5% interest in those distributions, ADES should receive roughly $10 million - $12 million per quarter on average ▪ The 4 key assumptions that could impact that projection: 1) CCS continues to not operate retained facilities; 2) CCS does not have material CapEx or unusual operating expenses; 3) tax equity renewals are not terminated or repriced; 4) coal-fired generation remains consistent ▪ Per facility economics to ADES (1) : * CCS - $3.50 per ton x 42.5% = $5,950,000 * CCSS - $0.15 per ton x 50% = $300,000 * Royalty - $0.40 per ton = $1,600,000 (2) CCS Expected Payments as of June 30, 2016 (in millions) 2016 (Q3 through Q4) $ 57 2,017 121 2,018 128 2,019 125 2,020 123 2,021 85 $ 639 Note: ADES receives 42.5% of these amounts, after applicable deductions related to CCS operating and general and administrative expenses (1) Based upon an estimated 4,000,000 tons per year coal burn (2) Only RC Facilities that use M-45 or M-45-PC
