  8. Aspen Plus – GUI w/ Hierarchy Biomass Refining CAFI

  9. Aspen Plus – GUI w/ Hierarchy Biomass Refining CAFI

  10. Current vs. Goal • Current: Laboratory Performance • Pretreatment • Conditioning • Enzymatic Hydrolysis • Fermentation • Goal: Likely Performance of Above Steps at Commercial Scale Biomass Refining CAFI

  11. CAFI II vs. CAFI I • Improved Definition and Consistency of Modeling Assumptions • Improved/Tailored Enzyme Cocktails • Conditioning & Fermentability Tests Biomass Refining CAFI

  12. Capital Costs Fixed - Direct Purchased Equipment Installation - Indirect - Contingency - Start-up Working Operating Costs Variable – Stover Enzymes Other Fixed - Labor Maintenance Insurance Depreciation Revenues Ethanol Sales Electricity Sales Discounted Cash Flow 2.5 yr Construction, 0.5 yr Start-up 20 yr Operation 100% Equity, No Subsidy Rational EtOH Pricing Rather Than Market Pricing 10% Real After Tax Discount Rate Performance Measures Total Fixed Capital Per Annual Gallon of Capacity Plant Level Cash Costs Minimum Ethanol Selling Price (MESP) Economic Modeling Biomass Refining CAFI

  13. Results (Interim) Biomass Refining CAFI

  14. Fixed Capital Stover Goal, Ideal Pretreatment Biomass Refining CAFI

  15. MESP Cash Cost Plant Level Cash Costs and MESP $/gal EtOH Stover Current Cases, Proof Year: 4th Year of Operation
