1 Denver World Oil Forum November 10, 2005

2 Biodiesel  Biodiesel can be made from various oils: canola, mustard, soybean, corn, and even waste grease  Biodiesel is primarily sold as B20  U.S. Congress designated B20 as an approved alternative fuel in 1998  KNOW YOUR SOURCE  2012 =.003% of U.S. Petroleum Bbls 24 Million bbls/yr. U.S. biodiesel production A cleaner-burning, renewable, and domestically produced diesel fuel

3 Blue Sun Mission  Highest Performance Fuel  Cleaner & Healthier Air  Rural Economic Development  Energy Independence

4 Vertically Integrated Model Feedstock Processing Marketing

5 From the Farmer… to the Fuel Tank Energy Crop R&D Farming Oilseed Meal Crushing Crop Oil Biodiesel Production Biodiesel Market Glycerin

6 Blue Sun Genetics Lower cost Higher quality Results in a sustainable competitive advantage Higher lubricity Higher cetane Better cold flow properties Better oxidative stability Lower input costs Requires less water Lower land costs Higher oil content The development of a more productive oilseed is a key strategic objective

8 High Plains

9 Blue Sun B20 A Better Fuel vs. Diesel  Higher cetane  Greater lubricity  Superior detergency  Higher flash point  More mileage  Greater horsepower  Less smoke  Smoother running engines  Quicker starts  Longer engine life  Reduced maintenance Benefits Features

10 Blue Sun Advantages Cleaner Emissions vs. Diesel Emission TypeB100 B20 Blue Sun B20 Carbon Monoxide - 43.2% - 12.6% - 32% Hydrocarbons - 56.3% - 11% - 40% Particulates - 55.4% - 18 % - 24% Nitrogen Oxides + 5.8% +1.2 % - 4% Carcinogens - 60% - 90% - 12% - 20% Mutagens - 80% - 90% - 20% Carbon Dioxide * - 78.3% - 15.7% * Life cycle emissions of CO 2 Source: National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) Golden, Colorado
