Advanced Biofuels – Replacing the Whole Barrel At low % blends, refiners can adjust operations to produce suitable blendstocks –Ethanol, e.g., vapor pressure –Biodiesel, e.g., cold-flow At higher % biofuel, displaced hydrocarbons may be shifted to less- valuable markets –Gasoline, e.g., to cracker feed –Diesel, e.g., to fuel oil As crude is displaced as a source of one product, there may be shortfalls in other markets –Gasoline, e.g., diesel & jet –Motor fuels & jet, e.g., chemicals –Aromatics, e.g., hydrogen

5. Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energyeere.energy.gov 5 Investments broadened to include more hydrocarbon fuels, diverse biomass feedstocks, and geographical diversity: Over $1B in DOE investments in 29 IBR projects »11 hydrocarbon fuels - $326M »16 cellulosic ethanol - $703M »1 butanol - $30M »1 succinic acid - $50M Projects represent up to 170 million gallons in planned capacity of biofuels and products by 2014, with an industry cost share of about $2.5B, including loan guarantees Integrated Biorefinery (IBR) Status * Note, pilot projects would not sell biofuel in commercial markets. This scale is for techno- economic validation.

6. Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energyeere.energy.gov 6 IBR Operations Timeline for Producing Advanced Biofuels DOE OBP has 26 IBR projects producing biofuels at various scales: 12 at pilot scale (min 1 dry tonne per day feedstock)* 8 at demonstration scale (min 50- 70 dry tonnes per day feedstock) 6 at commercial scale (min 700 dry tonnes per day feedstock) * Note, pilot projects would not sell biofuel in commercial markets. This scale is for techno- economic validation. In addition, the Program maintains 2 R&D scale projects at preliminary engineering design that are not producing fuels.
