3 Company Profile Ø maxbiogas GmbH is a young, dynamic and innovative Start-Up active in the field of white biotechnology. Ø It is based with an office and a labour in Berlin-Brandenburg, Germany. Ø It focuses on the development, marketing and licensing of technical installations for the ecological and economical processing of plant residues on the basis of closed carbon and nutrient cycles. Ø The biogas and the biorefinery market is the strategic focus of maxbiogas. Ø Target groups are plant manufactures, biogas plant & biorefinery operators maxbiogas presenta7on at CEPEC 2014, London 3

4 Hydrocarbon: Basis of our Life Ø Fossile carbon EU import: 1 billion tons ROE p.a. (~ 600 billion p.a.) Ø In the EU 159 million hectares of agricultural land are available. Ø A substitution of 1 billion tons ROE with renewable resources would need appr. 6 tons ROE per hectare. Ø 6 tons per hectare is the average harvest today. Residues like stalks and leaves remain unused. Ø But agricultural land is mainly used for food and feed production. Therefore the press states: There is not enough agricultural land for fossil carbon substitution.. Ø maxbiogas has the technology to change this situation, an energy efficient pre-treatment process, called LX-Process. 4
