1 Enogen Corn Enzyme Technology Come grow with us

2 Enogen corn enzyme technology is an in-seed innovation available exclusively from Syngenta and features the first biotech corn output trait designed specifically to enhance ethanol production. Using modern biotechnology to deliver best-in-class alpha amylase enzyme directly in grain, Enogen corn eliminates the need to add liquid alpha amylase and creates a win-win-win scenario by adding value for ethanol plants, corn growers and rural communities. Enogen corn is helping to fuel enzyme innovation. With Enogen corn, you can source alpha amylase directly from local growers, gain corn market knowledge from mid-year corn estimates, invest in your community, increase yield and throughput, and achieve more robust fermentation.

3 Cut costs by sourcing enzymes locally Enogen corn enzyme technology is rapidly gaining widespread acceptance because of the value it delivers to ethanol producers and the opportunity it provides corn growers to be enzyme suppliers for their local ethanol plants. Enogen corn creates increased profit potential for ethanol producers and corn growers while adding significant value at the local level for communities that rely on their ethanol plant s success. According to a growing number of ethanol plants, the opportunity to enhance production, improve local grain buying economics and invest locally are key benefits of using Enogen corn. During 2018, Enogen corn is expected to generate approximately $28.5 million of additional revenue for local growers contracting with plants using Enogen grain through per-bushel premiums. 2 Using Enogen corn reduces corn costs and improves local grower relationships. 3 Approximate Ethanol Production Using Enogen Corn Enzyme Technology (billion gal/yr) Robust Growth 2.5B Gallons = ~16% Mkt Share in 6 Years Source: Syngenta (estimated) How it works MASH COOLING MILLING FERMENTATION No need to add ammonia Less sulfuric acid required SLURRY TANK α No need to add liquid alpha amylase JET COOKER Less heat and water required α No need to add liquid alpha amylase LIQUEFACTION

4 Helping you be more competitive Enogen grain contains a robust alpha amylase enzyme that significantly reduces viscosity in corn mash. This breakthrough reduction can lead to unprecedented levels of solids loading, which directly contributes to increased throughput and yield, as well as critical cost savings from reduced natural gas, electricity and water usage.

6 We believe in ethanol Today, more than 95 percent of America s motor fuel mix contains about 10 percent ethanol, and higher blends are increasingly available. 1 These new consumer options have appeared, in part, due to the work of the ethanol industry in pushing for more options like E15 for consumers at the pump. Ethanol is helping America reduce its dependence on foreign oil, and is helping to create jobs that can t be outsourced. Enogen corn not only helps keep enzyme dollars in local communities, it also supports the creation of jobs in the United States. Syngenta is committed to the success of the U.S. ethanol industry and to helping ethanol plants adopt the best enzyme strategy. We are proud to have made a significant investment to bring this game-changing technology to market. Enogen corn is helping to make ethanol more sustainable and is helping ethanol producers differentiate their offerings while supporting their local communities by keeping enzyme dollars local.
