1 Sorghum s Increasing Value for Renewable Markets Commercially scalable and ready today Kenneth G. Davenport, Ph.D. June 17, 2013
2 Outline 2 Chromatin, Inc. overview Choosing a feedstock: sorghum s unique advantages Renewable energy and the use of sorghum Chromatin s singular focus on sorghum
3 Chromatin Overview 3 Market-leader in sorghum innovation Highly experienced team driving entry into new markets, new business models, and new applications Comprehensive and accelerated breeding program; pipeline of market-leading products. Rapid growth and market penetration validate the demand for Chromatin products Growth drivers: Climate change, marginal land, water, renewable energy, Chromatin s products and focus Chromatin s products reach over 5 million acres Globally #4 in market share; #3 in US; leading in forages Blue-chip partners Forage Sorghum Cellulose Sweet Sorghum Sugar Grain Sorghum Starch Direct Export Indirect Distribution Registration Underway
4 Feedstock Agnosticism? 4 Definition: Agnostic (cf., Merriam-Webster s Collegiate Dictionary) 1. a person who holds the view that any ultimate reality (as God) is unknown and probably unknowable; broadly: one who is not committed to believing in either the existence or the nonexistence of God or a god 2. a person who is unwilling to commit to an opinion about something <political agnostics> Question: Unless your plant manager is well-versed in metaphysics, do you believe he/she is agnostic about the nature, quality, price and availability of his/her feedstock?
5 The Value of Sorghum (a real crop) 5 Renewable energy Source of starch (grain), lignocellulose (forage/biomass) and sugar (sweet) Is a one-for-one drop-in for corn in grain ethanol production Is a renewable feedstock that can directly displace both coal and wood for electrical power generation Capable of replacing any lignocellulosic as a feedstock for emerging conversion processes Climate, environment & ecology Sorghum is a high-yield, nutrient use efficient, and drought tolerant crop that can be planted on 80% of the worlds agricultural lands Sorghum has a remarkable ability to grow on marginal land, including land not currently used for food production Requires 85% less water use than sugarcane and 50% less than corn Uses 40-80% less herbicide and pesticide than corn
6 Sorghum Bioenergy Properties Recent Progress 6 Recent designation as an Advanced Biofuel feedstock in December 2012 (Grain Ethanol) Sorghum will also be able to participate in the growth of cellulosic ethanol EPA s RFS requires production of 36 billion gallons of renewable fuel (corn-based ethanol and Advanced Biofuels) by 2022 Sweet sorghum is being targeted for use as ethanol feedstock in Brazil Ready to participate in emerging opportunities Biopower (electrical power generation) Biogas (electrical and thermal energy) Biofuels (liquid transportation fuels) Chemicals (value-added building blocks)
7 Sorghum Drought Mechanisms 7 Drought Tolerance 50% more stomata per in 2 of leaf than corn Stomata are smaller Smaller leaf:root ratio than other crops Extensive root system Stay-Green Traits Perfect flowers* Drought Avoidance Heavy wax layer (bloom) on leaves/stems Slow/hasten maturity under stress Motor cells at leaf midrib to facilitate leaf curling under stress
8 Water, Irrigation, Drought and Society 8 No society has ever sustained itself on irrigation Kansas has initiated several self-imposed irrigation restriction areas to extend the life of the Ogallala Which generation gets to use it? SJV in California has been waging the ag versus urban versus ecosystem water war for several years ag is losing. Climate is different than weather and that sorghum is more sustainable in many areas than several other bioenergy sources (e.g., corn, sugarcane)
9 Tipping Point Planting sorghum in lieu of corn 9 Yield tipping point = 100 bushels / acre Economic tipping point = 110 to 130 bushels / acre cf., Dr. Scott Staggenborg, ASTA 2012 presentation
10 Opportunities for Sorghum 10 Corn Yield (bu/a)
11 How Is Chromatin Approaching These Opportunities? 11 State Trials Internal Protocols Dealer Plots Breeding sites LOL Answer Plots
12 The Importance of Breeding, Testing and Production 12 Sorghum is extremely diverse (trait discovery). Marker-assisted breeding enables rapid trait identification and movement without need to generate GMOs. Chromatin has been able to achieve 3 breeding cycles per year; a challenge for many other annual crops and impossible for perennial crops Sorghum has a very well-developed breeding system, based on cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS), which makes largescale hybrid production cost effective. Sorghum can be quickly adapted to any conversion process.
13 12GS GS GS0432 DKS53-67 Pion84G62 Yield (pounds / acre) Chromatin s Sorghum Product Portfolio & Pipeline 13 Team Only company with a breeding team focused on each sorghum type: Grain, Forage and Sweet Sorghum Program leads have 80 years cumulative experience Pipeline 30 commercial products sold in 2013 on 5MM acres >15,000 breeding lines from 7 commercial and 9 precommercial sources 600 breeding populations produced annually 7500 Chromatin pipeline 5000 to 6000 new test crosses evaluated annually 7400 Competitors 7 breeding nurseries, geographically positioned for 365 day program test sites and 26,000 test plots dedicated to breeding / 88 international commercial test sites new products in pilot production in 2013; 20% with potential to become market leaders
14 Renewable Energy Applications 14 Starch Grain sorghum partnering opportunities with Aemetis, Calgren, Pacific Ethanol and Poet. EPA s GHG emission review qualified grain sorghum for Advanced Biofuel status when plants also incorporate a bio-digester. Sugar Chromatin is extending period-of-industrial utilization (PIU) for SA mills while exploring opportunities with U. S. mills. Cellulose Biogas market: Alliance to develop high quality forage and biomass sorghums for a growing market opportunity in Europe. Energy/Sweet Sorghum pellets Biopower market: Large growth opportunity for European markets as wood supplies become constrained. Chromatin is ready to approach the biopower market with economically viable, scalable and sustainable products: Proprietary Chromatin formulations have created pellet blends that meet the PFI specifications Chromatin has partnered to increase sorghum s BTU / lb by 10% through torrefaction Chromatin has partnered to adapt hydrothermal carbonization technology to increase sorghum s energy density by 30%. Torrefied Energy Sorghum
15 Chromatin is Turning Sugar to Fuel Utilizing Sorghum 15 ARPA-e award of $5.8MM (USD) Sweet sorghum + genes => farnesene Cost ~ $1.60 per gallon Co-product: 11,000 BTU / lb bagasse Image of a synthetic chromosome with genes to produce farnesene.
