The focus at Calgon Carbon is growing our traditional businesses while capitalizing on emerging regulationdriven growth markets 13 Emerging Markets include: - Disinfection Byproduct Control- Municipal Drinking Water - Mercury Removal from Coal-Fired Power Plants - Ballast Water Treatment

Growth Opportunities with Emerging Markets 2012 - 2020 14

Control of Disinfection Byproducts (DBP) in Municipal Drinking Water Market Size: $100 M+/Yr. expected by 2015 Market Driver: U.S. EPA regulation DBPs formed when chlorine reacts with naturally occurring matter in drinking water DBPs increase health risks: cancer/reproductive and developmental effects Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproduct Rule promulgated in 2006 mandates control of DBPs (Compliance: 2013 2015) CCC Solution: Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) + Reactivation Excellent application for GAC CCC global leader in GAC production and reactivation Cost: $6.00/year per family 15

16 GAC for DBP Removal

Control of Disinfection Byproducts (DBP) in Municipal Drinking Water Competing Technology Chloramine (chlorine and ammonia) Lower cost than chlorine/carbon Produces unregulated DBPs Citizens groups protesting chloramine use due to health risks Recent Activity: Contract with Phoenix, Arizona for GAC and Reactivation 2011: Supplied 16 MM lbs. GAC for DBP control 2012: 10-year reactivation contract (approximately 11 MM lbs. per year) CCC is building reactivation facility near Phoenix Regional facility with annual capacity of 25 MM lbs. Completion expected in 2013 2012: 10-year reactivation contract with Scottsdale, Arizona In discussions with Glendale, Arizona for long-term reactivation contract 17

Mercury Removal from Power Plant Flue Gas Market Size: 380-765 MM lbs. per year Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) expected by 2015/2016 Market Driver: Regulations in U.S. and Canada 17 states and certain Canadian provinces currently regulate mercury removal Current market > 160 MM lbs. PAC CCC supplying PAC to more than 45 units Mandates approximately 90% mercury reduction Q2 12 court vacated Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) - NOx and SO2 removal Compliance: State and Provincial regulations currently in effect, and U.S. EPA regulations effective 2015 18

19 PAC Injection for Mercury Removal

Mercury Removal from Power Plant Flue Gas Calgon Carbon Product: FLUEPAC® Advanced PAC products Reduce carbon consumption by 50% or more Patents pending > 20 successful full-scale trials First contract 2011 20

21 Why Ballast Water Treatment? The issue: Transfer of invasive species

Ballast Water Disinfection Largest Growth Opportunity for Calgon Carbon Expected Market Size: $15 B (60,000 ships New and Retrofits)* Market Driver: Regulations U.S. Coast Guard rule issued 3/23/12 International Maritime Organization regulations pending U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Compliance: New Ships Keel laid after 12/1/13 at delivery Retrofits 2014 2020 22 *Internal Estimate Systems only

Ballast Water Disinfection Largest Growth Opportunity for Calgon Carbon (cont.) U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Compliance (cont): System with IMO Type Approval may be designated Alternative Management System (AMS) by USCG Ships with AMS can discharge ballast water in U.S. ports for 5 years without USCG Type Approval 23 *Internal Estimate Systems only

Ballast Water Disinfection Largest Growth Opportunity for Calgon Carbon Calgon Carbon Product: HYDE GUARDIAN® (Stack Disk Filtration + UV) Estimated average price $300,000 Less maintenance than screen filters Flexible Footprint Low operating cost No chemicals Hyde Guardian Sales: > 200 systems sold to date 24

Reactivation: Attractive Alternative to Virgin GAC Advantages For Customer Advantages For CCC Economic: Lower cost than virgin GAC Lower production costs: Coal and electricity Environmental: Reduces disposal requirements and liability Environmental: Reduction in greenhouse gases vs. GAC production Security of Supply Lower cost to construct reactivation plant vs. GAC production plant Trouble-free Operation: Full-service from CCC Long-term Contracts = Predictable earnings stream 28

Anti-Dumping Tariff Update 2006: Tariffs first imposed by International Trade Commission on Chinese activated carbon imports to U.S. Periodic reviews by Department of Commerce can change tariff rate Current Average Tariff Rate changed from $0.13/lb. to $0.47/lb. (Nov. 2012) U.S. International Trade Commission announced (Feb. 2013) that antidumping order will remain in effect until at least 2017. 29
