  1. NEPIC Innovation Day Ramside Hall – November 15, 2011 Agenda Background – Bioresources/Renewable Energy Overview – Bioresources inc Investment Growth Potential – future investment opportunities, innovative approaches

  2. Background • NEPIC – strategic deliverers for public sector funded (RDA) Regional Biofuels Project • £1.7M public sector funding April 2008 – March 2011 • Co-incided with UK legislation – RTFO; European legislation - RED • Sustainability criteria • Vision – for NE to become a global hub for biofuels/renewable energy • Underpinned by a number of strategic initiatives • In order to build critical mass, recognised the need to focus on a wider bioresources sector incorporating fuels, heat, electricity, chemicals/materials.

  3. Size of Challenge – Scale of Opportunity • 30% electricity, if all wind, will require ~15,000 turbines • 12% heat target, if met by biomass alone, will require ~20 million tonnes of wood in UK by 2020 • 10% transport target, if met by biofuel alone, will require ~6.5 billion litres bioethanol and biodiesel in UK by 2020 In all the above, opportunities exist..... Business growth and investment…..innovation

  4. North East Bioresources and Renewables – (NEBR) • Promoting the Northeast as a centre of biomass processing into fuels, energy, chemicals and materials. NEPIC Leadership Team Innovation Marketing & Communications PEG Manufacturing & Productivity Skills & Resources Energy Supply Chain TIG

  5. Building Low Carbon Economy in NE – existing projects

  6. Building Low Carbon Economy in NE - additional projects ? Building Critical Mass in North East England

  7. Overview of Biorefining Classification System International Energy Agency (IEA) Bioenergy Task 42 Biorefinery Document

  8. Organic Residues and Waste Lignocellulosic Crops and Residues Pre-treatment e.g. Graphite Resources Gasification NWL Anaerobic digestion Syngas Sembcorp/ SITA Wilton 11 Biogas Fuels e.g. Ineos Bio Hydrogen e.g Air Products Chemical Feedstocks e.g. Tees Valley SNG (NEPIC feasibility study) Combustion Combustion Bio Methanol Electricity Electricity and Heat Digestate

  9. Proposed Teesside CCS Project Teesside CCS Project has been submitted by DECC to the European Commission under the NER300 Process. • An IGCC process gasifying coal with carbon capture. • Options: • Generate syngas from high temperature gasification, convert CO to CO2 and capture (sequester or market opportunity eg EOR). -hydrogen then used to produce electricity. • Utilisegreen hydrogen as key feedstock for chemical producers in Tees Valley • Utilisesyngas stream as key feedstock for chemical producers in Tees Valley

  10. Syngas Applications & Synergy For Tees Valley Chemical/Process Industry Biomass / Coal 2nd generationbiofuel Heat and Power application Steam&Power Boiler Gasification Ethanol Gas turbineCombined Cycle Diesel/Kerosene (Bio)refineries IC Engine Power Gen Fischer- Tropsch Wax Fuel Cells Syngas Gasoline Naphtha RefineryHydrotreating MTBE Methanol Hydrogen Transportationfuels DME Fuel cells Gasoline Polyolefins Formaldehyde Methyl Acetate Acetic Acid EthylenePropylene Chemicals Oxy Chemicals Fertilizers Acetic Anhydride VAM Ketene Acetiv Esters Diketene & Derivatives PVA *based on information from ThermoChem Recovery International, Inc

  11. Biomethanol Opportunity From Biomass . • Through gasification, production of 2nd generation /advanced biofuel from woody biomass • Use of existing but redundant MeOH facility at Billingham • Option to produce at different scales – impact on volume but also cost • Could use 1, 2 or 3 gasifiers each processing ca 250K oven dry tonnes per annum. • Taking biomass handling, gasification, gas cleaning and methanol synthesis the investment ranges from £200M - £400M assuming use of existing methanol process infrastructure.

  12. ‘Green Product’ Demand An increasing number of market sectors focussing on green products - examples include transport (biofuels), polymer production (packaging materials), construction industry (lower energy buildings) and specialities (cosmetics). More and more suppliers are being asked to demonstrate ‘green credentials’ by leading high street brands e.g Coca Cola, Marks & Spencer, Polyester (PET) bottles m E.G + PTA

  13. Ongoing/Next Steps • Continue to seek and develop relationships with potential investors – build on NEPIC relationship with UKTI – India, Brazil, China, Russia, USA etc. • Address key areas of Policy, Feedstock/Finance • Maintain and build upon connectivity to supply chains – strategic thrust teams • Fully exploit opportunity of RGF SME bid • Lead partner and involvement in European Projects • LOCIMAP (Low Carbon Industrial Manufacturing Parks) • UK, Scandinavia, Mainland Europe • Wood SNG (synthetic natural gas from woody biomass) • Austria, Germany, Holland, Italy • Innovative Supply Chains for Low Value Forest Waste – pre commercial thinning’s and residues
