  1. Avantium Chemicals: Carbohydrate based feedstocks for biobased chemicals Ed de Jong Peter Mangnus

  2. Technology Feedstock Conversion Bioplastics Renewable sources Feedstock flexible Superior economics Fit with existing assets Broad range of materials Improved properties Delivering biobased performance products at a competitive price Targeting multi-billion Euro markets

  3. Avantium’s Approach Crops Carbo-hydrates Process Products Avantium catalysts and process Avantium Furanics Sugar/Starch Bio-based fuels Bio-based plastics Bio-based chemicals Cellulose SugarStream

  4. Moving to 100% green PTA EG • PET is the most widely used polyester made of PTA and EG • Plantbottlelaunched in 2010 - PET with biobased EG and oil-based PTA • PEF by Avantium: biobased FDCA + biobased EG = 100% green 100% FDCA PTA Renewable Oil-based EG EG 0% PET

  5. Large market opportunity bottles EG $30 billion per year FDCA Plant based sugars PEF fiber $60 billion per year film $10 billion per year

  6. YXY PEF Polyesters Blown on a commercial ISBM line using standard PET pre-forms and molds. Bottles Fibers Film Spun on commercial fiber line at max speed Processed on a commercial film extruder equipment Results of Avantium – NatureWorks collaboration 6

  7. The key questions Compared to oil-based products… • Can YXY compete on price? • Can YXY compete on performance? • Can YXY deliver a significantly better environmental footprint?

  8. PEFThe next generation bioplastic • 100% Biobased (e.g. carbohydrates such as sugar and starch) • 100% Recyclable • Competitive process economics • Can be processed in existing supply chains • Highly attractive carbon footprint (50-70% lower than PET) • “We’ve got barrier!”: • 6 times better O2 barrier than PET • 3 times better CO2 barrier than PET • 2 times better H2O barrier than PET

  9. Current Partnerships

  10. Creating market pull through partnerships  

  11. Next Steps

  12. Go to Market Full scale industrial plant: On stream in 2017-2018 Name plate capacity: 300-500 kta First commercial plant: On stream in 2015 Name plate capacity: 30-50 kta Licensing model for global deployment of technology Pilot plant: on stream Name plate capacity: 40 tpa Own & Operate EUR 30 million investment secured in June 2011

  13. Summary • YXY: a proprietary chemical process that unlocks a range of new green materials and fuels • Supported by feedstock suppliers, producers and brand owners, creating an integrated value chain • Big opportunity for sugar and starch producers • Technical drop-in with improved properties (e.g. superior barrier) • Pilot 2011, First Commercial 2015, Second Commercial 2018 • YXY: the green alternative to oil-based products that will deliver on price and performance
