Tranquility Partners Inc. Sustainable Investing in California — Nopal Cactus Farming 2

Executive
Summary
Tranquility Partners (Tranquility) will be growing prickly pear (Nopal) cactus com-
mercially in Central California, in the San Joaquin Valley – the most productive
agricultural region in the world. Our farms will be on former farmland that is now
either water restricted or does not allow any irrigation. Tranquility will have access
the land for a nominal fee.

Green IP An Explosive Market Secondary Markets

Tranquility will be farming our propri-
etary, non-GMO Nopal Cactus, that
has been perfected over 11 years in
Portugal. Our patent pending strain,
and mechanical planting of Cladodes
(cactus “paddle”) rather than seed,
allows us to reach full maturity within
9 months and maximizes our primary
goal of carbon sequestration for
the voluntary carbon exchange.
The Voluntary Carbon Futures Ex-
change market has grown exponen-
tially, and while prices have increased
10 fold over the last two years, a con-
tinued exponential price and overall
market growth is expected leading up
to 2030. Our ROI models are based
on 2022 average prices. Demand far
exceeds supply and this is only going
to accelerate leading up to 2030.
The Nopal Cactus is ideal for carbon
sequestration, but the secondary
yields are numerous and include
biomass, biofuels, fertilizers, protein
and supplements, alcoholic and non-
alcoholic beverages. livestock feed,
cosmetics, and other pharmaceutical
applications. These markets will be
explored to enhance value.

Exponential ROI
By practically eliminating our largest cost – the cost of land – and farming
the most effective carbon sequestration crop, Tranquility is providing the
most profitable green investment available globally.

A Permanent Carbon
Sequestration Crop
The unique CO2 absorption and sequestration properties of the Nopal Cactus
achieve permanent CO2 reductions by capturing CO2 in the air and transferring
it into the soil as oxalate bio-minerals.
Bearing More Than Just Fruit
Nopal Cactus production and farming represents an extraor-
dinary option to create a permanent CO2 (GHG) sequestration
mechanism while supporting agriculture and sustainable
farming practices.
Nopal cactus (the common name in Spanish for Opuntia cacti
or prickly pear cactus) are highly versatile and thrive natively in
Mexico and in the southwestern regions of the Unites States.

Temporary C02 Sequestration
Through the process of photosynthesis, plants and trees
remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and use it to build
all the carbon-based compounds they need for structure and
function. When most plants die, these carbon-based com-
pounds break down into their constituent components with a
re-release of carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere. This
short-term cycle explains why carbon forestry is considered a
temporary sequestration method.
Permanent C02 Sequestration
Nopal Cactus uses some of the carbon dioxide it removes from
the atmosphere to make compounds called oxalates, which
combine with calcium ions taken up from the soil by the plant’s
roots. The resulting calcium oxalate takes a different path fol-
lowing the death of the cactus.
Rather than degrade to its constituent components, calcium
oxalate slowly transforms into solid calcium carbonate (calcite),
thus essentially sequestering atmospheric carbon dioxide into
the soil, which is a form of permanent sequestration.

Green IP
After more than a decade of intensive work in agriculture science, Tranquility has
perfected the ideal varietal for Nopal Cactus commercial agriculture. Through a
hybridization process and a rigorous genetic selection of more than 20 species
of Nopal Cactus, and years of testing in the field, Tranquility has the perfect crop
for rapid growth, and dense carbon sequestering plants working in the field.

Carbon Offsets –
The Voluntary Markets’
Exponential Growth
Best known by its acronym,
VERS, Voluntary Emission
Reductions, reminiscent of
bartering, is a carbon offset
traded voluntarily for carbon
credits. Reductions, when they
take place, are monitored, in
turn, by a voluntary certification
process.
Voluntary carbon credit enables
companies and businesses to
purchase carbon credits on a
voluntary basis to satisfy Cor-
porate Social Responsibility
objectives.
Unit of Measure
C02e Equals One Ton
of Carbon Emissions
Voluntary Offsets (and credits for that
matter) use a basic unit for trading –
the equivalent of the weight of one
ton of carbon emissions, also known
as CO2e.

According to research company
BloombergNEF (BNEF), their conser-

2030 before leveling off.
Sustainable Debt
Topped $1Trillion
in 2021
The explosive growth in green bonds
has been driven, in large part, by
the growth of socially responsible
investing (SRI). SRI is an investment
approach in which investors consider
factors beyond financial performance.
Specifically, SRI investors consider
environmental, social, and governance
(ESG) factors alongside financial met-
rics, seeking to invest in companies
that not only perform well but also
have a positive impact on the world.

Exponential Growth
The Taskforce on Scaling
Voluntary Carbon Markets
(TSVCM), sponsored by the
Institute of International
Finance (IIF) estimates that
demand for carbon credits
could increase by a factor of
15 or more by 2030 and by a
factor of up to 100 by 2050.
Overall, the market for carbon
credits could be worth upward
of $50 billion in 2030.

Local Farmer Continually

Advancing Yields
Tranquility is working with Jeff Yribarren, a fourth generation farmer in the San
Joaquin Valley. Jeff, his brother and father currently farm 2,000 acres (810 Hectares)
and 60 employees. Over the last 100 years the family business has worked with a
number of different crops, with the consistent objective of maximizing yields while
vertically integrating processing and distribution.

Cost of Land
Tranquility will be growing cactus commercially on past farming acreage that
the California Water District has pulled from the market and deemed land
water restricted.

30 year lease as low as $10/acre

30,000 70,000 Prime Land for

Hectares
As a result of continual droughts
plaguing California, there is perfect
agricultural land that cannot be
farmed and is now restricted by the
government for zero water use. There
are 30,000 acres, that can be leased
for $10USD a year per acre for 30
years (roughly $25/hectare).
Hectares
There is an additional 70,000 acres of
prime agricultural land that is restrict-
ed for minimal water use that is also
available.
Agriculture
The land Tranquility would be access-
ing is some of the best in the world.
The parcels are broken into one mile
squares (sections) which are normal-
ly split into ½ mile fields (quarter-sec-
tions). The topsoil is 24 inch to 12 feet
deep depending on the presence of
“plow-pan” which is easily broken if
needed. The land is flat and graded
for the purpose of gravity “furrow”
irrigation.

From Zero to
Scale in One Year
Most green initiatives take years to get off the ground, and investment returns are
elusive. Tranquility has spend a decade perfecting Nopal Cactus farming, and our
varietal, robotic planting, and perfected Cladode farming allow us to go from barren
land to full a full value carbon sequestering crop in nine months. Our varietals and
Cladodes also allow us to scale from our nursery in Portugal annually by a factor of
10 globally.

Ready to Plant Approval for 450 Conservative

1,000 Hectares of
Cladodes Today
Tranquility is uniquely positioned
to be able to utilize 100 hectares to
yield enough Cladodes to plant 1,000
hectares for carbon credits and 1,000
hectares to yield Cladodes for 10,000
hectares in year two.
C02e per Hectare
The financial model for growth is
also exceptional. With Tranquility’s
approval for 450 C02e per hectare,
based on the 2022 average Carbone
future price per hectare, the gross
revenue is $36,570.00 per hectare.
Models
The tranquility models shown on
the subsequent pages are based on
very conservative models, using 60%
yields and 60% average future price.
Considering the expected explosion
of the market and lack of immediate
supply, Tranquility is ideally situated
to take advantage of the land subsidy
situation in California, and invest in
exponential (by a factor of 10) annual
growth on any initial investment.

Projected
Gross Revenue
Our conservative revenue model is based on 60% yield and 60% of current carbon
futures prices while our realistic revenue is based on 90% of existing yields and and
current average carbon futures price. We have not any VCM price increases in sub-
sequent years for the expected exponential price jumps that are predicted.
