CABN OTC BB $0.13 Speculative Buy 154.02 Million $21.56 Million

Carbon Sciences Inc. (OTCBB: CABN) is developing a breakthrough technology for recycling harmful carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions into gasoline and fuels. In September 2008, CABN announced its innovative new technology at the First International Summit on Policy, Technology and Investment, hosted by Cambridge University. CABN’s CEO described the Company’s program to use CO2 as a feedstock for producing portable fuels and simultaneously address the world’s energy and environmental challenges. CABN’s CO2-to-fuel technology takes CO2 from coal-fired power plants and other large CO2 emitters and transforms it into portable fuels for use in today’s vehicles and infrastructure. Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, low cost fossil fuels such as oil and coal have powered the world’s economic growth. Today, industrialization has accelerated on a global scale and the world is consuming more fossil fuel than ever before. Demand for depleting fossil fuel resources has driven the price of energy to previously unimagined levels and in the process released billions of tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. The U.S. Energy Information Administration projects that global energy consumption will increase 50% by 2030 to over 112 million barrels of crude oil per day; nearing a critical point many energy analysts call Peak Oil. This dual crisis of energy depletion and climate change threatens living standards and the security of nations. The world is highly dependent on the existing transportation and fuel delivery infrastructure. Automobiles, trucks, trains and planes powered by portable fuels are crucial to our way of life. Alternative

fuel technologies being developed by others such as fuel cells and hydrogen will require substantial infrastructure changes to be deployed on a large scale. CABN’s technology, which transforms harmful byproducts of fossil fuel usage (CO2) into additional usable fuel, holds tremendous potential since it reduces harmful CO2 emissions while creating fuel that can be distributed through the existing infrastructure. CABN’s solution simultaneously addresses the problems of sustainable fuel supplies and climate stability. The Company estimates that with less than half of the CO2 emissions from coal-fired power plants alone, it can produce 30% of the world’s liquid fuel supply.

Technology Development Update Breakthrough CO2 to Fuel Technology is Inspired By Nature Since the beginning of time, certain microorganisms called chemoautotrophs, have been transforming CO2, into fuel molecules as part of their internal life support process. Unlike plants that derive energy from sunlight, these organisms get their energy from nutrients in their surroundings. Inside these microorganisms are complex biocatalytic processes that use enzymes to transform CO2 directly into fuel molecules. However, this natural process is inefficient as the enzymes die after a few cycles. Carbon Sciences’ CO2-to-Fuel technology is based on emulating and exploiting these enzyme-driven biocatalytic processes on an industrial scale. Smart particle technology provides path to industrial scalability In recent years, other scientists have successfully demonstrated the feasibility of transforming CO2 into fuel in laboratory experiments using enzymes. However, they fall short of a design pathway for industrial scale operations. In October 2009, CABN announced the invention of a nano-scale reactor functioning like a highly efficient artificial microorganism that contains a proprietary enzyme process and serves a single purpose – to absorb CO2 molecules and excrete fuel molecules. This nano-scale reactor, called Smart Particle™, is the key to achieving a fast reaction time and industrial scale up of the Company’s CO2-to-Fuel process. The patent application for Smart Particle technology contains the detailed design of Smart Particles as well as a proprietary manufacturing process where these particles self-assemble in solution without any external nano-manufacturing. CAPE tool accelerates progress toward commercial start-up In May 2009, the Company announced it had developed a computer-aided process engineering (CAPE) tool that will enable CABN to model the performance of its biocatalytic CO2-to-Fuel process and rapidly advance from prototype to a full-scale pilot plant. Previously, the Company had planned on developing a mini-pilot plant as the next stage in developing its CO2-to-Fuel technology. Performance data from the mini-pilot project would be used to help design a full-scale commercial pilot plant. However, recent breakthroughs in nano-engineering of the biocatalyst, encouraging prototype performance results, and molecular-based computer modeling of the biocatalytic process

give the development team the tools necessary to pursue a direct path to full-scale pilot design. Enzyme encapsulation technology lowers fuel cost The Company announced an important technical breakthrough that increases the functional life of key enzymes used in its biocatalytic CO2-to-Fuel process. The development of novel enzyme encapsulation technology will likely significantly improve the functional life of key enzymes and speed the commercialization of its Co2-to-Fuel process. Enzymes are very expensive, and the commercial viability of any biocatalytic process depends on the number of cycles the enzymes can perform before they must be replaced. This is known in the industry as the Total Turnover Number (TTN) of a biocatalytic process. A higher TTN means that more products can be produced with the same fixed cost of enzymes -- thereby lowering per unit costs. For Carbon Sciences, a higher TTN in its biocatalytic CO2to-Fuel process directly translates into a lower cost per gallon for gasoline and other fuels. Reduced reaction time increases scalability and economics of CO2-to-Fuel plant The Company has also reported successfully reducing the reaction time of its CO2-to-Fuel process from hours to minutes. This achievement dramatically enhances the scalability and reduces the costs of building and operating an industrial scale CO2-to-Fuel plant. Reaction time is the time required to convert a unit amount of raw material to product in a fixed biochemical reactor. In the case of CO2 to fuel, a slow reaction time requires a very large reactor size for holding and processing a continuous stream of CO2 from a large emitter, such as a coal-fired power plant. For example, if a one cubic meter reactor can process one ton of CO2 per day, then 5,000 reactors are required to process 5,000 tons/day of CO2 emissions. However, if a one cubic meter reactor can process 10 tons of CO2 per day, then only 500 reactors are required.

Key Advantages of CO2-to-Fuel Technology CABN notes the following as key advantages of its CO2-to-Fuel technology versus biofuels and carbon sequestration. CO2-to-Fuel vs. Biomass-to-Fuel Most of the renewable alternatives to fossil fuel rely on the same fundamental concept of recycling CO2 into fuels. In most cases, this is accomplished through intermediaries such as terrestrial crops or microorganisms, where CO2 and water are transformed into complex energy molecules. These complex energy molecules, such as sugars, carbohydrates, lipids and cellulose are stored inside the intermediary’s biomass and they must be extracted, broken down, and further refined into hydrocarbon fuel equivalents. CABN’s process bypasses the energy-intensive and time-consuming tasks of growing and processing biomass into fuel. The Company’s technology involves the direct molecular transformation of CO2 and water into fuel molecules through a novel and energy efficient biocatalytic process. The resulting fuels are molecularly identical to fuels that are used today such as gasoline, diesel and jet fuel. The difference between fuels produced by the Company’s technology and petroleum is that CABN’s fuels are renewable -- made from CO2 emissions and not dug up from the Earth. Unlike biofuels, they can be used as-is in today’s infrastructure, supply chain and vehicles. The diagram below illustrates the difference between a Biomass to Fuel lifecycle and CO2-to-Fuel lifecycle.

CO2 Recycling vs. CO2 Sequestration CO2 recycling takes CO2, combines it with other materials, and transforms them into higher value end products. In the case of CABN’s technology, the product is fuel. Fuel produced from CO2 transformation is identical to “normal” fuel such as gasoline, diesel fuel and jet fuel. There is no storage risk and the commercial value can offset the costs of traditional carbon capture and sequestration systems. CO2 burying or sequestration involves mitigating CO2 by burying it. The main approaches used today by large CO2 emitters include geologic storage and ocean storage. These methods create issues concerning energy requirements and costs and the viability of long-term storage. More importantly, the cost of monitoring and preventing leaks of stored CO2 is ongoing, therefore reaches infinity - just like the monitoring of nuclear waste. The scale of carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) needed to make a significant dent in worldwide carbon emissions is staggering. Burning coal provides 25% of the world’s energy but also produces 18 billion tons of CO2 annually, or 40% of the world’s total carbon emissions. According to a recent Science Magazine editorial from Steven Chu, Secretary of Energy of the United States, the annual 18 billion tons of CO2 from coal use will require an underground storage volume of more than 30,000 km3/year. That is equivalent to a 10 feet high storage container that covers the entire surface area of the United States for just one year of CO2 emissions.

CABN’s Biocatalytic Process vs. other CO2 Recycling Technologies Established approaches for CO2-to-Fuel recycling include direct photolysis, which uses intense light energy to break off the oxygen atoms in CO2, and chemically reacting carbon dioxide gas with hydrogen gas to create methane or methanol. However, both of these conventional engineering approaches require immense energy due to high-pressure and high-temperature chemical processes and involve significant costs. CABN plans to recycle large quantities of CO2 into gaseous and liquid fuels using a proprietary multi-step biocatalytic process. Instead of using the expensive inorganic catalysts, such as zinc, gold or zeolite required for traditional high-energy catalytic chemical processes, CABN’s process uses inexpensive, renewable enzymes to trigger the chemical reactions that are required to transform CO2 and water (H2O) into fuel molecules. The process develops at low temperature and pressure and requiring far less energy than conventional processes. CABN’s biocatalytic process naturally occurs in certain micro-organisms in which carbon atoms extracted from CO2 and hydrogen atoms extracted from H2O combine to create hydrocarbon molecules. The Company’s process replicates this on a very large industrial scale.

Other Developments Building Visibility The Company’s CEO Byron Elton made several appearances on the popular online energy and environment network CleanSkies during the “The Energy Report” with Susan McGinnis to discuss CABN’s technology and its applications in addressing global issues resulting from CO2 emissions. Mr. Elton and Dr. Naveed Aslam, Ph.D. addressed energy industry leaders at the third annual ACI Carbon Capture and Sequestration Summit held in Washington, D.C. In addition, he has been invited to speak at the prestigious Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s 2009-2010 Honors Program “Distinguished Speakers Series” in Daytona Beach, Florida, on January 25, 2010. Elton contributed an article to the August 2009’s edition of Corp! Magazine entitled “Carbon Dioxide Recycling: Technologies Make CO2 the Solution to the Energy and Environmental Crisis. The article discusses various options being considered by the Obama administration to mitigate CO2 emissions and stimulate the economy with a green technology revolution. U.S. Congress Approves Climate Change Bill In July 2009, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a sweeping climate change bill that will significantly alter the world’s energy landscape. The American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 (ACES) sets a cap on total emissions over the 2012–2050 period and requires regulated entities to hold rights, or allowances, to emit greenhouse gases. This vote was the first time Congress has approved a bill meant to curb heat-trapping gases that are causing climate change.

Management anticipates additional funding will be required in 2009 and is exploring the Company’s financing alternatives, including equity and/or debt financing. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient capital to fund ongoing operations.

Analyst Summary CABN has reported several milestones in recent months that accelerate the development timeframe of its CO2-toFuel technology and enhance the processes’ scalability and economic benefits. These include the development of computer-aided process engineering tools that enable the Company to proceed directly from prototype to a fullscale pilot plant. In addition, CABN has developed a process for encapsulating biocatalytic enzymes that lowers the cost of produced fuels and reduces the reaction time of its proprietary CO2-to-Fuel process from hours to minutes. In previous versions of the Company’s biocatalytic process, CO2 was transformed into fuel in approximately 10 hours. Breakthroughs made in enzyme encapsulation and a novel, new micro-sized biocatalytic structure reduced the time required for transforming CO2 into fuel to 10 to 30 minutes. In addition, Congress has passed the American Clean Energy and Security Act which set a cap on total CO2 emissions between 2012 and 2050 and requires regulated entities to hold rights, or allowances, to emit greenhouse gases. This creates strong demand for novel technologies such as CO2-to-Fuel, which address CO2 emissions and the nation’s energy requirements. CABN has applied for a DOE grant and expects to find out soon if a grant will be awarded. Such an award would be considered very favorable news for CABN since it testifies to the technology’s potential and marketability. We continue to regard CABN as a long-term investment whose value lies in its innovative technology and huge potential market and we are reiterating our Speculative Buy rating for CABN shares.
