REACH Technology Renewable Acid-hydrolysis Condensation Hydrotreating Acid-hydrolysis – breaks down biomass to non-sugar intermediates. Condensation – puts molecules together to customize carbon chain length. Hydrotreating – deoxygenates to drop-in hydrocarbon fuel.

Cost Structure OpEx: $1.06 /gal excluding capital charges $1.62 /gal including capital charges CapEx: $3-5 /annual gal capacity. For example, a 15 mil gal/yr plant at $4/annual gal capacity would cost $60 million

Drop-in Hydrocarbon Jet Fuel Drop-in Hydrocarbon Diesel Fuel Fuel Products Freeze Point = C JP-8 (Mil.) spec < -47 C

Scalable, proven methodologies Hydrolysis similar to pulp & paper technologies Condensation/Hydrotreating similar to petroleum refining Chemical products Independent of genetic research Technology Development Advantages

Build and operate at Michigan State University Bioeconomy Institute (MSUBI) $4.6 million matching grant from the US DOE 10 Dry Metric Tons/day - Hydrolysis/Condensation Hydrotreating - existing small scale facilities available Initial feedstock – local corn stover DOE I-Pilot Plant Project

CSIRO (Australia) – process optimization research Purdue University – scientific/engineering/aviation expertise MSUBI - Pilot plant facilities UC Davis – Hydrolysis technology and IP Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) – past hydrotreating and catalyst development Haldor Topsoe - catalyst / hydrotreating technology Key Partners

Agriculture and biomass preparation Life cycle analysis Science/engineering – micro pilot Aviation expertise Purdue

Existing reactor systems Existing infrastructure Experienced workforce MSUBI
