  1. From Feedstock to FuelRenewable Fuels need holistic approach Biology to develop science around feedstocks Farming and transportation infrastructure Chemistry and conversion technologies Regulatory approvals Consistent government policy Leading edge customers that value product suite

  2. Next Generation Biofuel Feedstock BIOFUEL SUPPLY CHAIN Biology-Farming-Refining – Customers SUS OILS PARTNERS TECHNOLOGY FEEDSTOCK PRODUCTION BIO REFINING DELIVERY Company Overview – Spring 2011 Confidential 2011 - Sustainable Oils

  3. Example Crop- camelina- one of many needed feedstock alternatives • More than 100,000 acres commercially harvested • Grown and tested in 34 states • Nine generations of advanced molecular breeding has delivered over 50% yield improvements Camelina Harvest (Sept 2009) Camelina Nursery (Bozeman MT)

  4. Yield Increase Projections % 150 Elite 3 DNA + 30-40% % 125 % 100 Elite 2 Gene Tilling + 20-25% % 75 % 50 Elite 1 Breeding Program +10% % 25 Sustainable Oils uses three cumulative methods to enhance the yield of its camelina. Each of these “Elite” programs will dramatically increase crop yield.

  5. AltAir Feed Pretreat & Hydroprocessing / Isomerization Water, CO2 Pre-Refine Process Hydroprocessing Process H2 Light Fuels Feed Pre-treat deCO2 & HDO Separation Selective Hydrocrack Product Recovery SPK Jet Lipid Feedstock Green Diesel • HydrotreatmentProcess • First reaction removes oxygen from natural oils • Produces diesel range waxy paraffins • Second reaction “cracks” diesel paraffins • End product is molecularly identical to aviation fuel • At this point the process is well understood and system works

  6. Next Generation Aviation Biofuels

  7. Other products may be short-term solution to higher then market cost maximizing VALUE Comprehensive Value Increase – Other Products can subsidize fuels BIO-MATERIALS VALUE PYRAMID Pharmaceuticals $ $ 200-10k per Gallon Specialty Chemicals $ 3-200 per Gallon OILS $ 1-3 per Gallon VALUE VOLUME
