pre-transaction equity
value for Opal of an amount equal to $1,501,870,000, less all
principal and accrued interest outstanding pursuant to that certain
Convertible Promissory Note, dated as of May 1, 2021, as
amended from time to time, as of immediately after the Closing,
(C) ArcLight will contribute the (x) the amount of cash

its initial public offering (the “Trust Account”) as of immediately
prior to the Closing (and before, for the avoidance of doubt,
giving effect to the exercise of redemption rights by any ArcLight
shareholders (the “ACT Share Redemptions”)), minus (y) the
aggregate amount of cash required to fund the ACT Share Redemptions
and any other obligations to be funded from the Trust Account, plus
(z) the aggregate cash proceeds actually received in respect
of the proposed sale by ArcLight, on the date of the Closing, of an
aggregate of 12,500,000 shares of ArcLight common stock for a
purchase price of $10.00 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of

terminology such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “potentially,”
“estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “would,”
“project,” “target,” “plan,” “expect,” or the negatives of these

transaction are subject to risks and uncertainties, which could
cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or
implied by such forward looking statements. New risks and
uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible
to predict all risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking
statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while
considered reasonable by ArcLight and its management, and Opal and
its management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain and
subject to material change. Factors that may cause actual results
to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not
limited to, various factors beyond management’s control, including
general economic conditions and other risks, uncertainties and
factors set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and
“Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in
ArcLight’s final prospectus relating to its initial public
offering, dated September 22, 2020, and other filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including the
registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed by ArcLight in
connection with the proposed business combination, as well as
(1) the inability to complete the proposed business
combination; (2) the failure to realize the anticipated
benefits of the proposed business combination, which may be
affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the
combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain
relationships with customers and suppliers and retain key
employees; (3) delays in obtaining, adverse conditions
contained in, or the inability to obtain necessary regulatory
approvals or complete regulatory reviews required to complete the
proposed business combination; (4) the outcome of any legal
proceedings that may be instituted in connection with the proposed
business combination; the inability to complete the proposed
business combination; (5) macroeconomic conditions related to
the global COVID-19
pandemic; (6) factors associated with companies, such as Opal,
that are engaged in the production and integration of renewable
natural gas (RNG), including anticipated trends, growth rates and
challenges in those businesses and in the markets in which they
operate; (7) the effects of increased competition;
(8) contractual arrangements with, and the cooperation of,
landfill and livestock waste site owners and operators, on which
Opal operates its landfill gas and livestock waste projects that
generate electricity and RNG prices for environmental attributes,
low carbon fuel standard credits and other incentives; (9) the
ability to identify, acquire, develop and operate renewable
projects and RNG fueling stations; (10) the amount of
redemption requests made by
ArcLight’s public shareholders; and (11) the ability of the
combined company to issue equity or equity-linked securities or
obtain debt financing in connection with the transaction or in the
future. Nothing in this Form 8-K should be regarded as a
representation by any person that the forward-looking statements
set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated
results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved. You
should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements in
this Form 8-K, which speak
only as of the date they are made and are qualified in their
entirety by reference to the cautionary statements herein. Both
ArcLight and Opal expressly disclaim any obligations or undertaking
to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking
statements contained herein to reflect any change in ArcLight’s or
Opal’s expectations with respect thereto or any change in events,
conditions or circumstances on which any statement is based.
Non-Solicitation

proxy statement or solicitation of a proxy, consent or
authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the
potential transaction and shall not constitute an offer to sell or

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. – (December 2, 2021) – OPAL Fuels LLC (“OPAL
Fuels” or the “Company”), a leading vertically integrated producer
and distributor of renewable natural gas (RNG), and ArcLight Clean
Transition Corp. II (Nasdaq: ACTD) (“ArcLight”), a publicly-traded
special purpose acquisition company, announced today a definitive
agreement for a business combination that will result in OPAL Fuels
becoming a publicly listed company. Upon closing of the
transaction, the combined company will be named OPAL Fuels Inc. and
remain listed on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange under the new ticker
symbol “OPL.” The combined company will continue to be led by OPAL
Fuels co-CEOs Adam Comora
and Jonathan Maurer.
RNG is a proven low-cost,
low-carbon fuel that when
used in transportation in place of diesel fuel can cost 40 to
70 percent less per gallon, providing significant annual
operating cost savings while dramatically reducing the carbon
footprint of heavy duty fleets.
-1-
OPAL Fuels, a FORTISTAR portfolio company, is a
vertically integrated, waste-to-fuel
RNG production and distribution company with a Capture and
Conversion upstream business and Dispensing and Monetization
downstream business serving the domestic heavy duty transportation
sector. Underpinned by gas rights agreements that are typically at
least twenty years in length, Capture and Conversion projects
produce RNG by capturing methane emissions from landfill sites and
dairy farms. The captured methane emissions are purified and
treated, turning once harmful emissions into a source of clean,
renewable energy, reducing the harmful long-term effects of methane
and carbon emissions. This flips a substantial cost – managing
dairy waste and landfill gas – into significant revenue streams for
dairy farms and landfills. OPAL Fuels’ Dispensing and Monetization
operations help deliver this clean, reliable and renewable fuel to
heavy duty trucking fleets through OPAL Fuels’ national network of
fueling stations, which spans 42 states and is typically backed by
fueling agreements averaging ten years in duration.
OPAL Fuels is also positioned for a future that includes the
commercialization of emerging technologies, including renewable
hydrogen, through existing partnerships with key industry
participants. The company is well placed to be an enabler of
renewable hydrogen that uses RNG in its production and to develop,
construct, and operate heavy duty hydrogen fueling station
networks.
OPAL Fuels has a proven business model, tracing its roots back to
1998, and is expected to generate nearly $170 million in
revenues in 2021. The company’s vertically integrated model
benefits its margin profile and positions the company well to
capture share in a fragmented industry that is characterized by
smaller, non-vertically
integrated upstream and downstream participants.
Today, OPAL Fuels operates 21 biomethane projects, of which three
are in RNG service and the balance are in renewable power service.
Increasing secular tailwinds, which include public policy
initiatives and corporate sustainability objectives, are supporting
the growth of RNG as a way to cost effectively halt climate change
and decarbonize transportation, providing strong visibility into
significant volume and EBITDA growth for OPAL Fuels over the next
several years. The company’s project pipeline totals 23, seven of
which are in construction and the balance of which are in advanced
development execution.
Management Commentary
Adam Comora, co-CEO of OPAL
Fuels, stated, “This transaction with ArcLight reflects a
transformative step in our company’s development and strategy. RNG
powered heavy duty fleets realize substantial savings today versus
diesel and the successful execution of our robust growth plans will
expand the role of ultra low-carbon RNG across the
transportation sector. By capturing harmful fugitive methane
emissions and replacing traditional fossil fuel usage, we will
advance the sustainability and decarbonization goals of public
policy makers, our customers and our
-2-
partners across the nation. RNG is a right now solution to the
right now problem of climate change. RNG is one of the most
attractive sources of renewable energy – its production uses
existing technologies proven at scale, it can be transported on
existing pipeline infrastructure, and it can be stored effectively
until its use, all of which lead to a cost competitive and reliable
fuel source. We are thrilled to partner with ArcLight, as we
believe their experience as a leading energy infrastructure asset
manager is a strong vote of confidence in the bright future of our
company. We look forward to leveraging their expertise as we
execute on our business model.”
Jonathan Maurer, co-CEO of
OPAL Fuels, commented, “It is an incredibly exciting time at OPAL
Fuels. The market for RNG as a transportation fuel is at an
inflection point, and we are excited to leverage our expertise in
renewable power to be a leader in RNG projects as we convert
renewable power projects to renewable transportation fuel
facilities. Our seasoned team, which includes several leaders that
have more than 25 years of experience in the industry, is excited
to execute on our robust project pipeline and deliver value to all
of our stakeholders.”
Jake Erhard, President and CEO of ArcLight Clean Transition Corp.
II said, “OPAL Fuels is a leading platform for the production and
distribution of ultra low-carbon RNG to the transportation
sector, the highest value end-market for RNG. The company’s
vertically integrated model differentiates it from other players in
the industry, which together with the platform’s more than two
decades of experience gives us tremendous confidence in the
company’s ability to execute its growth plans. Importantly, OPAL
Fuels’ business contributes meaningfully to sustainable development
in the transportation, waste management and agricultural industries
by enabling the adoption of leading-edge methane capture
technologies and processes that drastically reduce greenhouse gas
emissions.”
John Ketchum, President and CEO of NextEra Energy Resources, said,
“We’re excited about this opportunity with OPAL Fuels to leverage
renewable natural gas to produce and distribute ultra low-carbon fuels that are helping drive
decarbonization of the transportation sector. This investment is
consistent with our strategy to help lead the decarbonization of
the transportation, electricity and industrial sectors in the
U.S.”
Transaction Overview
The business combination values OPAL Fuels at an implied
$1.75 billion pro forma enterprise value at a price of $10.00
per ArcLight share. The transaction and related financings are
expected to provide gross proceeds of approximately
$536 million to OPAL Fuels, comprised of:
|
• |
|
ArcLight’s $311 million of cash held in trust, assuming no
redemptions,
|
|
• |
|
A $125 million fully committed PIPE, anchored by NextEra

otherwise provided for herein, this presentation is not intended
for distribution to, or use by any person in, any jurisdiction
where such distribution or use would be contrary to local law or
regulation. The contents of this presentation have not been

Representations or Warranties: No representations or warranties,
express or implied are given in, or in respect of, this
presentation or as to the accuracy, reasonableness or completeness
of the information contained in or incorporated by reference
herein. To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no circumstances
will SPAC, the Company or any of their respective affiliates,

indirect or consequential loss or loss of profit arising from the
use of this presentation, its contents (including the internal
economic models), its omissions, reliance on the information
contained within it, or on opinions communicated in relation

information contained herein has been derived from sources prepared
by third parties. While such information is believed to be reliable
for the purposes used herein, none of the Company, SPAC or any of
their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees,

from or with SPAC, the Company or their respective representatives
as investment, legal or tax advice. In addition, this presentation
does not purport to be all-inclusive or to contain all of the
information that may be required to make a full analysis of the
Company, SPAC or the Proposed Transactions. Recipients of this
presentation should each make their own evaluation of the Company,
SPAC or the Proposed Transactions and of the relevance and adequacy
of the information and should make such other investigations as
they deem necessary. Recipients are not entitled to rely on the
accuracy or completeness of this presentation and are entitled to
rely solely on only those particular representations and
warranties, if any, which may be made by SPAC or the Company to a

limitations and restrictions as may be specified therein. The
information contained herein and the parties involved in the
Proposed Transactions, any representations, warranties, agreements
or covenants between the recipient and any parties involved in the
Proposed Transactions will be set forth in definitive agreements by

Forward-Looking Statements: This presentation includes
“forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal
securities laws, including, but not limited to opinions and
projections prepared by the Company’s and SPAC’s management. The
recipient can identify forward-looking statements because they
typically contain words such as “outlook,” “believes,” “expects,” “
will,” “ projected,” “continue,” “ increase,” “may,” “should,”
“could,” “seeks,” “predicts,” “intends,” “trends,” “plans,”
“estimates,” “anticipates” or the negative version of these words
or other comparable words and/or similar expressions that concern
the Company’s or SPAC’s strategy, plans or intentions, but the
absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not
forward-looking. Forward-looking statements, opinions and
projections are neither historical facts nor assurances of future
performance. Instead, they are based only on the Company’s and
SPAC’s current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the
future of their business, future plans and strategies, projections,
anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future
conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the
future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and
changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of
which are outside of the Company’s or SPAC’s control. Actual
results and condition (financial or otherwise) may differ
materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements.

(Cont’d) 104-27-224 66-68-76 90-110-255 183-82-255 255-186-49 These
forward-looking statements also involve significant risks and
uncertainties, many of which are beyond control of the Company or
SPAC, that could cause the actual results to differ materially from
the expected results. Factors that may cause such differences
include, but are not limited to: (1) the outcome of any legal
proceedings that may be instituted in connection with the Proposed
Transactions; (2) the inability to complete the Proposed
Transactions; (3) delays in obtaining, adverse conditions contained
in, or the inability to obtain necessary regulatory approvals or
complete regulatory reviews required to complete the Proposed
Transactions; (4) the risk that the Proposed Transactions disrupt
current plans and operations; (5) the inability to recognize the
anticipated benefits of the Proposed Transactions, which may be
affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the
Combined Company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain
relationships with customers and suppliers and retain key
employees; (6) costs related to the the Proposed Transactions; (7)
changes in the applicable laws or regulations; (8) the possibility
that the Company or the Combined Company may be adversely affected
by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (9) the
impact of the global COVID 19 pandemic and; (10) other risks and
uncertainties set forth in this presentation, including under the
heading “Risk Factors” below, or separately provided to you and
indicated from time to time described in filings and potential
filings by the Company, SPAC and the Combined Company with the US
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company and
SPAC caution that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive
and not to place undue reliance upon any forward looking
statements, including projections, which speak only as of the date
made. The Company and SPAC undertake no obligation to and accepts
no obligation to release publicly any updates or revisions to any
forward looking statements to reflect any change in its
expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances
on which any such statement is based. Financial Information: The
financial and operating forecasts and projections contained in this
presentation represent certain estimates of OPAL as of the date
thereof. OPAL’s independent public accountants have not examined,
reviewed or compiled the forecasts or projections and, accordingly,
do not express an opinion or other form of assurance with respect
thereto. These projections should not be relied upon as being
indicative of future results. Furthermore, none of OPAL or its
management team can give any assurance that the forecasts or
projections contained herein accurately represents OPAL’s future
operations or financial condition. The assumptions and estimates
underlying such financial forecast information are inherently
uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant
business, economic, competitive and other risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
contained in the prospective financial information. Accordingly,
there can be no assurance that the prospective results are
indicative of the future performance of OPAL or that actual results
will not differ materially from those presented in these materials.
Some of the assumptions upon which the projections are based
inevitably will not materialize and unanticipated events may occur
that could affect results. Therefore, actual results achieved
during the periods covered by the projections may vary and may vary
materially from the projected results. Inclusion of the prospective
financial information in this presentation should not be regarded
as a representation by any person that the results contained in the
prospective financial information are indicative of future results
or will be achieved. Any “pro forma” financial data included in
this presentation has not been prepared in accordance with Article
11 of Regulation S-X of the SEC, is presented for informational
purposes only and may differ materially from the Regulation S-X
compliant pro forma financial statements of OPAL to be included any
filings with the SEC. Non-GAAP Financial Measures: This
presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures on a
forward-looking basis such as EBITDA and gross profit. These
non-GAAP measures are an addition, and not a substitute for or
superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in
accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative
to any performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. The
Company believes that these non-GAAP measures of future financial
results provide useful supplemental information to investors about
the Company and its management uses such forward-looking non-GAAP
measures to evaluate the Company's projected financials and
operating performance. However, there are a number of limitations
related to the use of these non-GAAP measures and their nearest
GAAP equivalents and other companies may calculate non-GAAP
measures differently, or may use other measures to calculate their
financial similarly titled measures of other companies.
Additionally, the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures
provided are presented on a non-GAAP basis without reconciliations
of such measures because not all of the information necessary for a
quantitative reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to
the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is available
without unreasonable efforts at this time and due to the inherent
difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are
necessary for such reconciliations. You should be aware that
presentation of these non-GAAP measures in this presentation may
not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other
companies which may be defined and calculated differently. The
inclusion of financial projections, estimates and targets in this
presentation should not be regarded as an indication that SPAC or
OPAL, or their representatives, considered or consider the
financial projections, estimates and targets to be a reliable
prediction of future events. Trademarks: This presentation may
contain trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights of
other companies, which are the property of their respective owners,
and the Company’s and SPAC’s use thereof does not imply an
affiliation with, or endorsement by, the owners of such trademarks,
service marks, trade names and copyrights. Solely for convenience,
some of the trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights
referred to in this presentation may be listed without the TM, © or
® symbols, but the Company, SPAC and their affiliates will assert,
to the fullest extent under applicable law, the rights of the
applicable owners, if any, to these trademarks, service marks,
trade names and copyrights. Important Information About the
Proposed Transactions and Where to Find It: In connection with the
Proposed Transactions, SPAC intends to file a proxy
statement/prospectus on Form S-4 with the SEC, which will be used
at the meeting of SPAC shareholders to approve the Proposed
Transactions. Investors and security holders of SPAC and the
Company are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus, any
amendments thereto and other relevant documents that will be filed
with the SEC carefully and in their entirety when they become
available because they will contain important information about the
Company, SPAC and the Proposed Transactions. The definitive proxy
statement will be mailed to stockholders of SPAC as of a record
date to be established for voting on the Proposed Transactions.
Investors and security holders will also be able to obtain copies
of the proxy statement/prospectus on Form S-4 and other documents
containing important information. Documents are filed with the SEC
and accessible, without charge, at the SEC’s website at

Biomethane RNG Renewable Power RNG end use generates environmental
credits (LCFS, D3 RINs and RECs) which can be monetized and
commands a premium on voluntary markets “Naturally Occurring

to Develop Capture & Conversion Dispensing & Monetization
RINs(1) LCFS Voluntary Markets RECs(2) Renewable identification
numbers (“RINs”) are credits used for compliance and are the
“currency” of the Renewable Fuel Standard program. Renewable fuel
producers generate RINs, market participants trade RINs and
obligated parties obtain and then ultimately retire RINs for
compliance. Renewable energy credits (“RECs”) represent the energy
generated by renewable energy sources. A REC is a tradeable,
market-based instrument that represents the legal property rights
to the “renewable-ness” or all non-power attributes of renewable
electricity generation.

Current
RNG production of ~400MM GGE per year represents less than 1% of
the U.S. heavy duty fuel market Current projections see RNG volumes
triple to ~1BN GGE by 2027E At this level, RNG still represents
less than 3% of the U.S. heavy duty fuel market As a result, there
is ample scope to continue placing RNG volumes into the
transportation market RNG qualifies to receive D3 RINs D3 statutory

RNG Has an
Immediate Positive Impact on Climate Change Methane has 28x the
impact of CO2 on global warming over a 100-year timescale RNG
feedstock accounts for more than a quarter of all methane emissions
in the United States Dairy RNG has negative carbon intensity “RNG
is a very important part of UPS’s strategy to increase alternative
fuel consumption to be 40% of total ground fuel purchases by 2025.
…Using RNG is what will ultimately help UPS meet its 2025
sustainability goals.” Mike Whitlatch, Vice President of Global
Energy & Procurement (2/6/2020) “Methane is a more powerful
greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, but one which lasts in the
atmosphere for only about a decade. Reduce methane emissions and
you soon reduce methane levels.” “Why Curbing Methane Emissions
Will Help Fight Climate Change” (8/14/2021) “Amazon has ordered
more than 700 compressed natural gas class 6 and class 8 trucks so
far.” Reuters, “Amazon Orders Hundreds of Trucks that Run on
Natural Gas” (2/5/2021) RNG starts with methane capture… …and ends

Capturing
the Value of Federal RIN Market The Renewable Fuel Standard (“RFS”)
mandates the incorporation of renewable content into transportation
fuels in the U.S. and has significantly changed the transportation
fuel landscape since its passage in 2005 A Congressional mandate
underpins RFS; an act of Congress is required to amend the program
Biden Administration poised to support more stringent RVO baselines
and push internal state-mandated fuel standards providing tailwinds
to RIN pricing Production and dispensing of renewable fuel creates
RINs and are the “currency” of the RFS program OPAL produces
cellulosic biofuels, which qualify for D3 RINs and have been below
RFS mandates, creating a market shortage of D3 RINs Benefits of D3

State
Level LCFS Markets Create Strong Value Proposition Established in
2007, the California LCFS is a market-based program designed to
reduce transportation-driven greenhouse gas emissions in the state
The program is administered by the California Air Resource Board
(“CARB”), which sets annual CI standards Fuels in the California
transportation fuel pool that have a CI lower than the target
established by CARB generate LCFS credits, those with CI’s higher
than the annual standard generate deficits A fuel producer with
deficits must have enough credits through generation and
acquisition to be in annual compliance with the annual standard Key
value drivers for OPAL: California was a first mover, pioneering
the LCFS market design, but other states and provinces are
introducing similar markets; Amazon recently announced publically
its support for the LCFS proposal in Washington State Over time CI
targets become more stringent, providing support for higher credit
prices RNG from dairy facilities like those owned by OPAL produce
the highest carbon credits by volume of any transport fuel given

Related to Government Regulation of Our Businesses and Our Third
Party Relationships We are dependent on contractual arrangements
with, and the cooperation of, landfill and livestock waste site
owners and operators, on which we operate our landfill gas and
livestock waste projects that generate electricity and renewable
natural gas (collectively, “Renewable Projects”), for access to and
operations on their sites. These site owners generally make no
warranties to us as to the quality or quantity of gas produced. We
may be impacted due to operational issues encountered by these site
owners in operating their facilities, such as, among other things:
their ability to perform in accordance with their commitments to
third parties (other than us) under agreements and permits;
transportation, herd health and labor issues at the livestock waste
production facilities dependent on contracted manure supplies; and
gas collection issues such as broken pipes, ground water
accumulation and inadequate landcover, as well as the particular
character and mix of trash received, at the landfill gas
facilities. · We from time to time face disputes or disagreements
with landfill and livestock waste project owners and operators on
existing or proposed projects, which could materially impact our
ability to continue to operate an existing project on its current
basis or at all, delay or eliminate our ability to secure the
rights to or complete a proposed project, or impact our ability to
identify and successfully secure the rights to construct and
operate other future projects. · We are dependent on the production
of vehicles and engines in our key customer and geographic markets
by vehicle and engine manufacturers, over which we have no control.
· Failure of third parties to manufacture quality products or
provide reliable services in a timely manner could cause delays in
developing and operating our projects, which could damage our
reputation, adversely affect our partner relationships or adversely
affect our growth. · Our operations are subject to numerous
stringent environmental, health and safety laws and regulations
that may expose us to significant costs and liabilities. From time
to time, we have been issued violations from governmental bodies
that our operations have failed to comply with such laws and
regulations, particularly in regards to the operation of our
landfill gas electric generating facilities. Failure to comply with
these laws and regulations may result in the assessment of
sanctions, including administrative, civil or criminal penalties,
the imposition of investigatory or remedial obligations, and the
issuance of orders limiting or prohibiting some or all of our
operations. · Existing federal, state and local regulations and
policies, including permitting requirements applicable to us,
future changes to these regulations and policies, and enactment of
new regulations and policies may present technical, regulatory and
economic barriers to the generation, purchase and use of renewable
natural gas (“RNG”) and electricity, and may adversely affect the
market for the environmental attributes associated with the
production of RNG and electricity. · A failure on our part to
comply with any laws, regulations or rules, applicable to us may
adversely affect the Combined Company’s business, investments and
results of operations. · Our landfill and livestock waste site
owners and operators are also subject to extensive federal, state
and local regulations and policies, including permitting
requirements, on account of their separate operations. Any failure
on their part to comply with any laws, regulations or rules,
applicable to them may also adversely affect the Combined Company’s
business, investments and results of operations. · The financial
performance of our business depends upon tax and other governmental
incentives for the generation of renewable electricity and RNG, any
of which could change at any time and such changes may negatively
impact our growth strategy. · We rely on interconnection,
transmission and pipeline facilities that we do not own or control
and that are subject to constraints within a number of our regions.
If these facilities fail to provide us with adequate capacity or
have unplanned disruptions, we may be restricted in our ability to
deliver electric power and RNG to our customers and we may either
incur additional costs or forego revenues. · We rely on third party
utility companies to provide our Renewable Projects with adequate
utility supplies, including sewer, water and electricity, in order
to operate our Renewable Project facilities. Any failure on the
part of such providers to adequately supply our facilities with
such utilities, including any prolonged period of loss of
electricity, may have an adverse effect on our business and results
of operations. · The demand for RNG, environmental attributes and
renewable electricity depends in part on mandates instituted
voluntarily by our private-sector purchasers, which may change in
the future in ways that negatively affect our business. · We are
subject to risks associated with litigation or administrative
proceedings that could materially impact our operations, including
proceedings in the future related to projects we subsequently
acquire. · We currently own, and in the future may acquire, certain
assets in which we have limited control over management decisions,
including through joint ventures, and our interests in such assets
may be subject to transfer or other related restrictions. · Our gas
rights agreements, power purchase agreements, fuel-supply
agreements, RNG dispensing agreements and other agreements,
including contracts with owners and operators of landfill and
livestock waste project sites, often contain complex provisions,
including those relating to price adjustments, calculations and
other terms based on gas price indices and other metrics, as well
as other terms and provisions, the interpretation of which could
result in disputes with counterparties that could materially affect
our results of operations and customer or other business
relationships. Market Risks Related to Our Businesses A reduction
in the prices we can obtain for the environmental attributes
generated from RNG, which include renewable identification numbers
(RINs), low carbon fuel standard (LCFS) credits, and other
incentives, could have a material adverse effect on our long-term
business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
· A prolonged environment of low prices or reduced demand for RNG
could have a material adverse effect on our long-term business
prospects, financial condition and results of operations. · We face
significant competition on the economics we are able to negotiate
with our commercial and public fleet customers for dispensing RNG
to them. · Our RNG is sold on a merchant pricing basis that exposes
us to the risk of fluctuations in commodity prices. · Increases,
decreases and general volatility in oil, gasoline, diesel, natural
gas and RNG prices could adversely affect our business. · Increased
rates of recycling and legislation encouraging recycling, increased
use of waste incineration, advances in waste disposal technology,
decreased demand for meat and livestock products, and downturns in
the economy of the United States could decrease the availability or
change the composition of waste for landfill and livestock waste
gas. · We currently use, and may continue in the future to use,
forward-sale and hedging arrangements, to mitigate certain risks,
but the use of such arrangements could have a material adverse
effect on our results of operations. Risks Related to the Business
and Industry of the Combined Company Risk Factors Relating to Our
Methane Capture Business · Our commercial success depends on our
ability to identify, acquire, develop and operate Renewable
Projects, as well as our ability to expand production at our
current projects. · Acquiring existing Renewable Projects involves
numerous risks, including potential exposure to pre-existing
liabilities, unanticipated costs in acquiring and implementing the
project, and lack of or limited experience in new geographic
markets. · Our Renewable Projects face operational challenges
customary to the renewable energy industry, including among other
things the breakdown or failure of equipment or processes or
performance below expected levels of output or efficiency due to
normal wear and tear of our equipment, latent defects, design or
operator errors, force majeure events, or lack of transmission
capacity or other problems with third party interconnection and
transmission facilities. · An unexpected reduction in RNG
production by third party producers of RNG with whom we maintain
marketing agreements to purchase RNG, or their inability or refusal
to deliver such RNG as provided under those marketing agreements,
may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and
could adversely affect associated dispensing agreements.

Factors (Cont’d) 104-27-224 66-68-76 90-110-255 183-82-255
255-186-49 · Construction, development and operation of our
Renewable Projects involves significant risks and hazards customary
to the energy and RNG industry, including among other things
acquiring and transporting fuel, operating large pieces of rotating
equipment and delivering our electricity and renewable natural gas
to interconnection and transmission systems, as well as other
activities, whether caused by us or a third party actor, that might
result in fire, explosion, structural collapse or machinery
failure. Among other things, we may not have adequate insurance, or
insurance may be unavailable, to cover these risks and hazards, or
other risks that are beyond our control. · Our failure to produce
and deliver the specified quality or quantity of RNG could have a
material adverse effect on our long-term business prospects,
financial condition and results of operations, by subjecting us to,
among other things, possible rejection of the RNG, loss of the
environmental attributes associated with such RNG, and possible
penalties or terminations under the various contractual
arrangements under which we operate. · The success of our RNG
projects depends on our ability to timely generate and ultimately
receive certification of the environmental attributes associated
with our RNG production and sale. A delay or failure in the
certification of these environmental attributes could have a
material adverse effect on the financial performance of our RNG
projects. · Maintenance, expansion and refurbishment of our
Renewable Projects involve the risk of unplanned outages or reduced
output, resulting from among other things periodic upgrading and
improvement, unplanned breakdowns in equipment, and forced outages.
· In order to secure development, operational, dispensing and other
necessary contract rights for our Renewable Projects, we typically
face a long and variable development cycle that requires
significant resource commitments and a long lead time before we
realize revenues. · Our Renewable Projects may not produce expected
levels of output, and the amount of electricity or renewable gas
actually produced at each of our respective projects will vary over
time. · Our business plans include expanding from renewable
electricity and RNG production projects into additional
transportation-related infrastructure, including production and
development of hydrogen vehicle filling stations. Any such
expansions may present unforeseen challenges and result in a
competitive disadvantage relative to our more-established
competitors in the markets into which we wish to expand. Risk
Factors Relating to Our Dispensing Business. · Our commercial
success depends on our ability to identify, acquire, develop and
operate public and private RNG fueling stations for public and
commercial fleet vehicles, as well as supplying our customers with
RNG for use as vehicle fuel. · Our ability to meet our obligations
to supply RNG to our customer base is dependent on our ability to
secure and maintain contract rights to sufficient supply of RNG and
the associated environmental attributes. · Our gas rights and RNG
dispensing agreements are subject to certain conditions. A failure
to satisfy those conditions could result in the loss of gas rights
or the termination of an RNG dispensing agreement. · Our gas
marketing agreements require us to dispense gas up to contracted
ceiling levels, and our failure to do so could result in a
requirement for us to pay significant make-whole payments to the
counterparty. · Our success is dependent on the willingness of
commercial fleets and other customers to adopt, and continue use
of, our vehicle fuels, which may not occur in a timely manner, at
expected levels or at all. · Our vehicle fleet customers may choose
to invest in renewable vehicle fuels other than RNG. · Our customer
base in our RNG dispensing business is comprised of a limited
number of customers, some of whom account for a significant portion
of our recurring revenue. · Acquisition, financing, construction,
and development of RNG fueling station projects by us or our
partners that own projects may not commence on anticipated
timelines or at all. The risks include, among other things,
difficulties in identifying, obtaining, and permitting suitable
sites for new projects; failure to obtain all necessary rights to
land access and use; inaccuracy of assumptions with respect to the
cost and schedule for completing construction; delays in deliveries
or increases in the price of equipment; permitting and other
regulatory issues, license revocation and changes in legal
requirements; increases in the cost of labor, labor disputes and
work stoppages; failure to receive quality and timely performance
of third-party services; unforeseen engineering and environmental
problems; cost overruns; accidents involving personal injury or the
loss of life; and weather conditions, catastrophic events,
including fires, explosions, earthquakes, droughts and acts of
terrorism, and other force majeure events. · Our RNG fueling
station construction activities for commercial fleets and other
customers are subject to business and operational risks, including
predicting demand in a particular market or markets, land use,
permitting or zoning difficulties, responsibility for actions of
sub-contractors on jobs in which we serve as general contractor,
potential labor shortages due to the COVID-19 pandemic or
otherwise, and cost overruns. Risk Factors Relating to Our Business
in General. · Certain of our facilities are newly constructed or
are under construction and may not perform as we expect. · Our
contracts with governmental entities may be subject to unique
risks, including possible termination of or reduction in the
government programs under which we operate, instances in which our
contract provisions allow the governmental entity to terminate,
amend or change terms at their convenience, and competitive bidding
processes for the award of contracts. · Our level of indebtedness
could adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital to
fund our operations and acquisitions. It could also expose us to
the risk of increased interest rates and limit our ability to react
to changes in the economy or our industry. · ArcLight and the
Combined Company may be unable to obtain additional financing to
fund our operations or growth. · Liabilities and costs associated
with hazardous materials and contamination and other environmental
conditions may require us to conduct investigations or remediation
at the properties underlying our projects, may adversely impact the
value of our projects or the underlying properties and may expose
us to liabilities to third parties. · We have a history of
accounting losses and may incur additional losses in the future. ·
Loss of our key management could adversely affect our business
performance. · The Company’s management team has limited experience
in operating a public company such as ArcLight. · The COVID-19
pandemic and measures intended to reduce its spread have, and may
continue to, adversely affect our business, results of operations
and financial condition. Integration and Other Risks of the
Combined Company · Some relationships with customers and suppliers
may experience disruptions in connection with the Business
Combination, which may limit the Combined Company’s business. · The
Company’s operations may be restricted during the pendency of the
Business Combination pursuant to terms of a business combination or
similar agreement. · Subsequent to the consummation of the Business
Combination, the Combined Company may be required to take
write-downs or write-offs, or the Combined Company may be subject
to restructuring, impairment or other charges that could have a
significant negative effect on the Combined Company’s financial
condition, results of operations and the price of Common Stock. ·
The Company has identified significant deficiencies in its internal
control over financial reporting. If the Company is unable to
remediate these significant deficiencies, or if it identifies
additional significant deficiencies, or any material weaknesses, in
the future or otherwise fails to maintain an effective system of
internal controls, it may not be able to accurately or timely
report its financial condition or results of operations, which may
adversely affect the Combined Company’s business and stock price. ·
The Combined Company’s failure to timely and effectively implement
controls and procedures required by Section 404(a) of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) that will be
applicable to it after the Business Combination is consummated
could have a material adverse effect on its business. · The
Combined Company will qualify as an “emerging growth company”
within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if it takes advantage
of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to
emerging growth companies, it could make its securities less
attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare
its performance to the performance of other public
companies.

Factors (Cont’d) 104-27-224 66-68-76 90-110-255 183-82-255
255-186-49 Risks Relating to ArcLight and the Business Combination
· The Company’s current majority stockholder is expected, following
the Business Combination, to have control over all stockholder
decisions of ArcLight because it controls a substantial majority of
ArcLight’s voting power through “high vote” voting stock. Such
majority stockholder may have potential conflicts of interest in
connection with existing or proposed business relationships and
decisions impacting the Combined Company and, even in situations
where it does not have a conflict of interest, its interests in
such matters may be different than the other stockholders. ·
Directors and officers of ArcLight may have potential conflicts of
interest in recommending that stockholders vote in favor of
approval of the Business Combination. · ArcLight has no operating
history and its results of operations and those of the
post-combination company may differ significantly from the
unaudited pro forma financial data included in this presentation. ·
The Company’s operating and financial results forecasts may not
prove accurate. · The Sponsor is liable to ensure that proceeds of
the trust are not reduced by vendor claims in the event a Business
Combination is not consummated. It has also agreed to pay for any
liquidation expenses if a Business Combination is not consummated.
Such liability may have influenced the its decision to agree to
approve the Business Combination. · The consummation of the
Business Combination will be, pursuant to a business combination or
similar agreement if and when one is entered into, subject to a
number of conditions and if those conditions are not satisfied or
waived, the business combination agreement may be terminated in
accordance with it terms and the Business Combination may not be
completed. Termination of the business combination agreement, if
one is entered into, could negatively impact ArcLight. · ArcLight
and the Company may incur significant transaction costs in
connection with the Business Combination. · ArcLight will not have
a specified maximum redemption threshold. The absence of such a
redemption threshold may make it possible for ArcLight to complete
the Business Combination, even if a substantial majority of
ArcLight’s public stockholders redeem their shares. · The ability
of ArcLight’s public stockholders to exercise redemption rights
with respect to a large number of ArcLight’s public shares may not
allow ArcLight to complete the most desirable business combination
or optimize the capital structure of the Combined Company. · The
consummation of the proposed Business Combination is subject to a
number of conditions and if those conditions are not satisfied or
waived, the business combination agreement may be terminated in
accordance with its terms and the Business Combination may not be
completed. · The subscription agreement governing the terms of your
purchase of Class A common stock is not cross-conditioned on the
satisfaction by any other investor of their obligations under the
subscription agreement entered into by such investor. · The
exercise of ArcLight’s directors’ and officers’ discretion in
agreeing to changes or waivers in the terms of the Business
Combination Agreement may result in a conflict of interest when
determining whether such changes to the terms of the Business
Combination or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in
ArcLight’s stockholders’ best interest. · If ArcLight is unable to
complete the proposed Business Combination or another initial
business combination by a prescribed deadline, ArcLight will cease
all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100%
of the outstanding public shares and, subject to the approval of
its remaining stockholders and the ArcLight board, dissolving and
liquidating. In such event, third parties may bring claims against
ArcLight and, as a result, the proceeds held in the trust account
could be reduced and the per-share liquidation price received by
stockholders could be less than $10.00 per share. · ArcLight’s
stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against
ArcLight to the extent of distributions received by them. In the
event ArcLight distributes the proceeds in the trust account to its
public stockholders and subsequently files a bankruptcy petition or
an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against ArcLight that
is not dismissed, a bankruptcy court may seek to recover such
proceeds, and ArcLight may be exposed to claims of punitive
damages. If, before distributing the proceeds in the trust account
to ArcLight’s public stockholders, ArcLight files a bankruptcy
petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against
ArcLight that is not dismissed, the claims of creditors in such
proceeding may have priority over the claims of our stockholders
and the per share amount that would otherwise be received by
ArcLight’s stockholders in connection with ArcLight’s liquidation
may be reduced. · Activities taken by existing ArcLight
stockholders to increase the likelihood of approval of the Business
Combination and the other transactions contemplated in connection
therewith could have a depressive effect on ArcLight’s stock. ·
Neither the ArcLight Board nor any committee thereof will obtain a
third-party valuation in determining whether or not to pursue the
proposed Business Combination. Risks Relating to Ownership of
ArcLight Common Stock Following the Business Combination ·
ArcLight’s only material assets following consummation of the
Business Combination will be its indirect interests in the Company
(the “Opco Partnership”), and ArcLight is accordingly dependent
upon distributions from the Opco Partnership to pay dividends and
taxes and other expenses. · ArcLight’s debt facilities also impose
or may in the future impose certain restrictions on the Company’s
subsidiaries making distributions to the Company. · If ArcLight
were deemed an “investment company” under the Investment Company
Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) as a result of its ownership of the
Opco Partnership, applicable restrictions could make it impractical
for it to continue its business as contemplated and could have a
material adverse effect on its business. · It is anticipated that,
following the consummation of the Business Combination, ArcLight
will be a controlled company, and thus will not be subject to all
of the corporate governance rules of NASDAQ. You will not have the
same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are
subject to such requirements. · The dual class structure of
ArcLight’s Common Stock following the Business Combination may
adversely affect the trading market for the Class A common stock. ·
There can be no assurance that following the consummation of the
Business Combination ArcLight will be able to comply with the
continued listing standards of NASDAQ. · A significant portion of
ArcLight’s Common Stock following the business combination will be
subject to lock up restrictions that prohibit sales of such Common
Stock. Following the expiration of such lock-up restrictions, the
resulting shares could cause the market price of ArcLight’s Common
Stock to drop significantly, even if ArcLight’s business is doing
well. · Financial projections with respect to the Company may not
prove to be reflective of actual financial results. · The market
price of shares of the Common Stock of ArcLight after the Business
Combination may be affected by factors different from those
currently affecting the prices of the Common Stock and may be
volatile. · If the Business Combination’s benefits do not meet the
expectations of financial analysts, the market price of the Common
Stock may decline after the Business Combinations. · ArcLight
stockholders will have a significantly reduced ownership and voting
interest after the Business Combinations and will exercise
significantly less influence over management. · The NASDAQ may
delist the Combined Company’s securities from trading on its
exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions
in its securities and subject the Combined Company to additional
trading restrictions. · Because there are no current plans to pay
cash dividends on Common Stock for the foreseeable future, you may
not receive any return on investment unless you sell your Common
Stock for a price greater than that which you paid for it. · If
securities analysts do not publish research or reports about the
Combined Company’s business or if they downgrade the Common Stock
or the Combined Company’s sector, the price and trading volume of
the Common Stock could decline. · Future sales, or the perception
of future sales, by the Combined Company or its stockholders in the
public market following the Business Combination could cause the
market price for the Common Stock to decline. · Anti-takeover
provisions expected to be contained in the operative ArcLight
charter and bylaws following consummation of the Business
Combination could delay or prevent a change of control. · A market
for ArcLight’s securities may not continue, which would adversely
affect the liquidity and price of ArcLight’s securities. · ArcLight
will be a holding company and its only material asset after
completion of the Business Combination will be its interest in the
Combined Company, and it is accordingly dependent upon
distributions made by its subsidiaries to pay taxes, make payments
under an anticipated tax receivables agreement and pay dividends. ·
In certain cases, payments under an anticipated tax receivable
agreement may exceed the actual tax benefits the Company realizes
or be accelerated.

Jake Erhard – President, Chief Executive Officer and Director,
ArcLight Clean Transition Corp. II
Thank you, operator, and hello, everyone—we thank you for joining
today’s call. My name is Jake Erhard and I am the President and
Chief Executive Officer of ArcLight Clean Transition Corp. II, a
Nasdaq-listed special purpose acquisition company that trades under
the ticker “ACTD”. We are quite excited to announce this business
combination transaction today between ArcLight and OPAL Fuels, a
leading vertically integrated producer and distributor of renewable
natural gas—or RNG.
ArcLight Clean Transition Corp. II is sponsored by ArcLight Capital
Partners, a Boston-based energy infrastructure asset manager where
I am also a Partner. ArcLight has a 20-year track record within the energy
markets, having invested over $25 billion in the aggregate
including over $4 billion in renewables investments since
inception. We formed ACTD, our second SPAC, this past March to
focus on opportunities that include renewable fuels and green
hydrogen, which we see as critical enablers of a decarbonized
future. OPAL Fuels is a key participant in both of these
markets.

to ArcLight, FORTISTAR is an investment firm focused
on growing and managing companies that target complex
sustainability challenges. They have a 28-year track record of investing in
independent power, renewables and storage, carbon capture, and the
circular economy. They manage a portfolio of 11 companies, of which
OPAL Fuels is one. OPAL Fuels was formed at the end of last year
when FORTISTAR consolidated their RNG production
business and their renewable transportation fuel distribution
business. In so doing, FORTISTAR created what we
believe is a leading platform in the renewable fuels space for two
principal reasons:
|
1) |
OPAL Fuels operates a vertically integrated model that
differentiates it from other players in the industry, giving the
company both superior margin and business capture opportunity at
each point along the RNG value chain. And:
|
|
2) |
FORTISTAR has more than 23 years of
experience in this business, giving us tremendous confidence in
their ability to evaluate and execute on a robust pipeline of RNG
projects that they have put together and that you’ll hear more
about shortly.
|
The end result is a company that—by executing on projects under its
control—has projected a more than 10x increase in EBITDA between
2021 and 2024. I will allow the OPAL Fuels team to elaborate on all
of this in a moment, but first a bit on the transaction
structure.
The transaction announced today is expected to provide gross
proceeds of approximately $536 million, comprised of
ArcLight’s $311 million of cash held in trust, assuming no
redemptions, a $125 million, fully committed common stock
PIPE, and a committed $100 million preferred equity investment
from NextEra Energy. The PIPE includes a $20 million
investment from an affiliate of ArcLight, and a $25 million
investment from NextEra Energy. NextEra is also a key strategic
counterparty with investments at the asset level on several
projects, and will additionally purchase and market the majority of
OPAL’s environmental attributes.Following transaction closing,
which is expected in the second quarter of 2022, the combined
company will have a pro forma enterprise value of approximately
$1.75 billion and an estimated equity value of
$2.0 billion. FORTISTAR will continue to be a
majority shareholder. Shares will trade on the Nasdaq under the
ticker “OPL”.
We at ArcLight have always had a tremendous respect for the team at
FORTISTAR given their vision, their expertise and
their track record. This is reflected in the strength of the OPAL
Fuels team, which starts at the top with Co-Chief Executive Officers Adam Comora
and Jon Maurer, both of whom have had long careers within the
FORTISTAR family and the renewable natural gas
industry. So, with that, I’d like to turn the call over to
Adam.

Adam Comora – Co-Chief
Executive Officer, OPAL Fuels
Thank you, Jake, and good day to all. I would also like to express
our team’s excitement about this transaction with ArcLight, which
will provide OPAL Fuels with significant financial resources to
fund our accelerated growth and scale our waste-to-energy, vertically
integrated renewable fuels platform.
As the prior CEO of TruStar Energy,
FORTISTAR’S renewable transportation
fuel distribution business that Jake just touched upon, I became
Co-CEO alongside Jon Maurer
upon the formation of OPAL Fuels late last year when TruStar Energy
merged with the FORTISTAR Methane Group and
FORTISTAR’S RNG production
business.
OPAL Fuels is a leading end-to-end renewable natural gas
provider to the heavy-duty transportation market. With one
vertically integrated platform we are addressing the two biggest
challenges to halt climate change–capturing harmful methane
emissions and then using that energy to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions from heavy duty transportation. The transportation sector
is one of the largest emitters of CO2, accounting for nearly 30% of
U.S. greenhouse gas emissions each year. RNG is a scalable solution
that works today using existing, proven technology in both
its production and utilization in vehicles, with over 70,000 class
8 trucks on the road today. And, best of all, it saves our fleet
partners money while dramatically reducing their carbon footprint.
RNG is an extremely attractive renewable energy resource–it is
transported over existing pipeline infrastructure and can be easily
stored for when it is needed, truly a drop-in renewable resource that creates
a valuable product that can help achieve sustainability goals and
save our fleet customers money.
On sustainability. RNG is produced by capturing harmful, naturally
occurring methane emissions from the decomposition of waste –
either human or animals. When fleets transition from diesel to
RNG-powered vehicles, they
are able to recognize a 100 percent reduction in their Scope 1
emissions, which is an extremely powerful tool for corporations to
achieve their sustainability goals.
On economics, RNG has a lower total cost of ownership than diesel,
underpinned by the fact that RNG can cost 40 to 70 percent
less on a per gallon equivalent basis than diesel. These annual
fuel cost savings more than outweigh the additional cost of an RNG
truck – providing paybacks within three years without any
incentives on the vehicles. Given our track record of having
developed, constructed and serviced more than 350 fuel station
projects that provide reliable, diesel-like fueling for our
customers, RNG has become a drop in fuel with minimal disruptions
to how our customers run their business.
As a result of these RNG tailwinds, alternative fueled vehicles
could see a 60-fold
increase by 2040.

Turning to OPAL Fuels:
OPAL Fuels has historically been a renewable power company,
building, owning and operating small power plants at landfills that
converted the waste methane from the landfills into electricity,
which was then sold under long-term power purchase agreements, or
PPAs. However, over the past few years, increasing secular
tailwinds, which include federal and state policy initiatives and a
customer base that is increasingly focused on renewable fuels as a
lever to meet their sustainability and decarbonization commitments,
have supported the development of new end markets, such as
transportation fuel, for our RNG assets. This brings us to
today.
We are in the midst of expanding our portfolio of RNG projects,
with three that are operational today and seven more that are in
various stages of construction, forming the backbone of a robust
project pipeline that you will hear more about in a few minutes.
This transaction allows us to accelerate that conversion and
capitalize on new development and acquisition opportunities to
expand our production base.
At a high level, we operate under two business units—an upstream
Capture and Conversion business and a downstream Dispensing and
Monetization business. The Capture and Conversion business is
comprised of projects that produce ultra low-carbon RNG by capturing methane
emissions from landfill sites and dairy farms. The captured methane
emissions are purified and treated, turning once harmful emissions
into a source of clean, renewable energy. These projects are backed
by long term gas rights agreements.
Our Dispensing and Monetization business delivers this clean,
renewable fuel to heavy duty fleet customers through our network of
fueling stations, underpinned by fueling agreements that are
typically ten years in length. We also build and service fueling
stations through our nationwide network across 42 states, having
built more than 350 in total.
We believe that we gain economic and competitive benefits from our
vertically integrated business model as we are able to capture the
full value of RNG gas molecules from gas source to gas tank.
More importantly, our vertical integration provides key strategic
value in growing market share with landfills and dairy farms
looking to realize the most value of their resource in the
transportation fuel market and with fleet customers looking for
certainty of RNG supply. Specifically, diary projects require the
RNG gets placed into vehicles in California and other states that
provide LCFS—low carbon fuel standard—credits. We get approached by
many dairy farmers and developers that first ask us for offtake
agreements and then realize we can also be a good strategic partner
by providing equity capital in the project, helping build and
operate the facilities, and providing guidance on how best to
structure the project for long term success.
We have spent some time discussing our vertical integration and how
we are best positioned to capture the most value of RNG, but it is
important to note that we also continue to see new end markets
emerging. There are numerous voluntary markets—markets not
dependent on any regulatory support—in the utility, industrial and
international arena that are beginning to offer value for RNG. Some
of these are offering contracts with longer terms—some as long as
15-20 years. We have not
yet entered into these long-term offtake markets, yet we expect to
do so once we see the value gap between these markets and the
transportation fuel market close.

To talk more about our project pipeline, I will now turn the call
over to Jon Maurer, our Co-CEO. Jon?
Jonathan Maurer – Co-Chief Executive Officer, OPAL
Fuels
Thanks Adam. I have been with FORTISTAR for more
than 30 years and am responsible for acquiring, developing,
building and managing the upstream projects in OPAL Fuels’ upstream
Capture and Conversion business, which Adam discussed. Turning to
our project portfolio and pipeline.
Today, OPAL Fuels operates 21 biomethane projects. Three of these
operating projects currently produce RNG fuel for sale into the
transportation fuels market and the balance are currently operating
as renewable power plants. Over the next several years, we expect
to build 23 more RNG projects from opportunities that are
substantially under our control. Many of these RNG projects will
come from converting our Renewable Power projects to RNG and some
will come from dairy projects that are substantially under our
control today.
Right now, seven of these projects are under construction, with
another 16 in the advanced development and execution phase. From
these projects alone, OPAL Fuels’ EBITDA is expected to grow to
$150 million. Completing the projects in advanced development,
meanwhile, is expected to increase OPAL Fuels’ EBITDA to represent
approximately $450 million in 2024 or more than
$600 million of run rate EBITDA based on full-year operations
for some projects starting in 2024.
To be clear, these are well-established projects and their
execution is largely dependent on us properly “blocking and
tackling”, which we have decades of experience doing. Moreover,
once these projects are built, there are no significant incremental
capital requirements to develop the resources.
In addition to the projects that we have in construction or
advanced development, there remains additional upside potential
from opportunities we see in the marketplace that we are not
including in our base case projections. This includes at least 18
additional projects that are in earlier stages of development, as
well as from identified M&A targets.

As a final point, we have our eyes on the future. We specifically
have several special relationships to call out here. The first two
relationships are in renewable hydrogen. BayoTech is an
on-site hydrogen production
and ‘gas-as-a-service’
company. We have commenced engineering and site acquisition to
build several hydrogen fueling stations for BayoTech next year. In
addition, we will provide RNG to lower the carbon intensity of
their hydrogen fuel production. The second renewable hydrogen
relationship is with Nikola, with which we have an MoU to
co-develop and construct
hydrogen fueling stations and related infrastructure. We will also
provide RNG to Nikola’s hydrogen production partner. Lastly, we
have a strategic relationship with CarbonFree to develop carbon
capture facilities at several of our RNG facilities.
With that, I would now like to turn the call over to our chief
financial officer, Ann Anthony. Ann?
Ann Anthony – Chief Financial Officer, OPAL Fuels
Thank you, Jon. I joined OPAL Fuels in April, and bring many years
of public company experience, including roles in the utility sector
and in renewable infrastructure.
Let me briefly highlight our financials before turning it back to
Adam for closing remarks.
OPAL Fuels’ existing operations are expected to generate
approximately $170 million in revenue and $41 million in
adjusted EBITDA in 2021. These results are complemented by a robust
future growth profile. Looking to the future, we anticipate the
pipeline of previously identified development projects to drive an
approximate 10-fold
increase in adjusted EBITDA by 2024, to approximately
$446 million, as referenced by Jake in his opening
remarks.
By investing heavily in both our Capture and Conversion business
and our Dispensing and Monetization business, we anticipate being
able to create a captive outlet for the significant volumes of
additional RNG production volumes, further leveraging our
vertically integrated business model. Our RNG production volumes
are poised to grow from 13 million GGEs in 2021 to over
125 million GGEs in 2024 through the development and
construction of an additional 23 projects that are under our
control. Further, an additional 25 million GGEs coming from
third parties will also be dispensed. Complimenting this
significant growth, our footprint of RNG fuel stations is set to
expand at a CAGR of 28% between now and 2024, bringing our current
estimated year end 2021 footprint of 95 stations to 256
stations.
Notably, as we execute on our identified growth plans, we
anticipate OPAL Fuels to experience margin expansion, as our
vertically integrated business model begins to bear greater fruit
at larger scale. Our 2021 adjusted EBITDA margin is estimated at an
above industry average 24%, however by controlling each point along
the RNG production and distribution value chain, we target our 2024
adjusted EBITDA margin to expand to 46%.
Before concluding, let me touch on the expected funding from this
transaction compared with our capital needs. Between the potential
$536 million raised from this transaction and a
$125 million term loan we secured in October plus operating
cash flow generated by the business, we believe that we have enough
resources to fund our business, including all projects in
construction and advanced development. Proceeds from the
transaction would also provide optionality to participate in
M&A opportunities or other earlier stage development projects
that are not in the current plan today.

For additional information, we encourage you to review our investor
presentation that was released along with the other
transaction-related materials earlier this morning. I will now turn
it back to Adam for closing remarks.
Adam Comora – Co-Chief
Executive Officer, OPAL Fuels
Thanks Ann. It is clear that the world needs an all-hands-on-deck
approach to decarbonization. With the U.S. transportation sector
being one of the largest emitters of CO2, alternative fuels will
play a critical role in decarbonization. OPAL Fuels is the U.S.’s
leading end-to-end renewable natural gas
provider to the heavy-duty transportation market. With RNG, there
does not need to be a tradeoff between doing what’s best for your
business and doing what’s best for the planet. RNG is an extremely
rare product that can both save our fleet customers money and
dramatically reduce their carbon footprint. Our more than two
decades of experience in this area has positioned us well to remain
a leading platform in the production and distribution of renewable
fuels, and our vertically integrated model provides us with
differentiated economic and competitive benefits. We look forward
to transitioning to the public market, blocking and tacking on our
existing robust RNG project pipeline and taking advantage of the
significant M&A and additional development partnerships we see
coming that will dramatically scale our business over the coming
years.
Thank you very much and have a great day.
