3 Company Overview ClearSign is an emerging leader in industrial combustion and sensing technologies that improve efficiency and lower costs, while dramatically reducing emissions. We believe global adoption of ClearSign’s technologies will significantly improve today’s environmental footprint and assist in the transition to the hydrogen economy of tomorrow. 3

ClearSign in 20 Seconds Providing Clean Air Customers Nitrogen Oxides (NOX ) are a highly toxic and highly regulated pollutant from combustion. We essentially prevent the emissions of NOX from industrial sources. ClearSign burner technology enables customers to meet new and anticipated NOX regulations at a fraction of the cost of traditional solutions. Enabling Decarbonization Investment Opportunity Adding hydrogen to fuel increases NOX emissions. ClearSign technology enables hydrogen to be burned while remaining compliant with mandatory NOX emission regulations. Emerging technology with initial adoption in an expansive market. Highly scalable business model with strong operating margins and comprehensive IP. 4

5 Creating Better Solutions Problem Nitrogen from the air is converted to NOX by two chemical paths in a flame. ClearSign technology addresses both of these chemical paths. Incumbent burners address just one. Flame temperature is the dominant influence on NOX formation. Hydrogen in the fuel gas increases flame temperature. Solution Our burners are designed to install easily into refinery heaters and industrial boilers, either into new equipment or to upgrade the burners in the expansive existing energy infrastructure. NOX is an issue across the globe with 24M tons emitted annually from human activity. The US alone emitted ~7.4M tons of NOX in 2022, excluding wildfires. 5
