1 Produce Cellulosic Ethanol in Existing Plants with Edeniq s Pathway Platform James Kacmar, Pathway Program Director Presented at ACE August 9, 2016

2 Corn Fiber Opportunity Over 10 million tons of cellulose at U.S. ethanol plants from the corn kernel fiber Edeniq s Pathway Technology converts this fiber into cellulosic ethanol with low CAPEX using existing plant fermenters. Potential for MGPY cellulosic ethanol if adopted in all corn ethanol plants Cellulosic ethanol could a $3/gal premium in

3 Pathway Bolt On Step 1 In situ Combination of Mechanical Pretreatment and Cellulase Enzyme 1. Converts Fiber to Fermentable Sugar 2. Edeniq protocol to measure cellulosic ethanol DDGS 2

4 Pathway Bolt On Step 2 In situ Combination of Mechanical Pretreatment and Cellulase Cellunator 1. Proprietary Mill 2. Right Sizes particles 3. Homogenizes slurry 4. Shears fibers DDGS 3

5 Pathway Benefits Cellunator Right sized particles with increased surface area for enzymes Liberates recalcitrant starch Frees up the corn kernel fiber for cellulase enzymes Proven technology at 7 plants Cellulase Converts corn kernel fiber into fermentable sugars Frees up additional starch for conversion into ethanol Demonstrated at 3 plants Platform Benefits Increases overall ethanol production Produces cellulosic ethanol from fiber Eligible for D3 RINs Increases corn oil production 4

6 Path to Cellulosic Ethanol 2011 Edeniq petitions EPA for corn kernel fiber Pathway 2012 Edeniq continues R&D for analytical protocols to quantify cellulosic ethanol 2013 Pathway pilot plant built EPA issues proposed rule: corn kernel fiber ethanol is cellulosic enzymes screened Lab D3 RINs Protocols refined EPA issues final rule 1H 2015 Plant testing EPA issues guidance on coproduction 2H 2015 Protocols confirmed during commercial trials Dec/Jan 16 registration filed 5

7 Cellulosic Credits D3 RINs Cellulosic Ethanol $1.33 per gallon for Waiver Credit in 2016 Estimated at $1.99 per gallon for 2017 Registration underway at first plant SGBPTC Cellulosic Ethanol Second Generation Biofuel Producer Tax Credit $1.01 per gallon 2017 requires legislative re-approval LCFS Low Carbon Gallons Estimated from cents per gallon 6 to 12 months to complete registration 6

8 Proving the Pathway Technology Slurry (200 gal) Designed to permit same conditions for different fermentations Cellunator Liq. Tank A Liq. Tank B Goals Prove D3 RINs protocols Emulate commercial plant results Process Development Tk. #300A (35 gal) Tk. #301A (35 gal) Tk. #300B (35 gal) Tk. #301B (35 gal) 7

9 Ethanol (g) Pilot Plant Results (Optimizing Doses) % +4.9% +5.5% +5.8% Cellunator resulted in 3.6% increase in ethanol production. Complete Pathway implementation increases ethanol production 4.9% 5.8% no-enz no-enz Low PW Med PW High PW Unmilled Cellunated Analytical protocols successful at measuring cellulosic ethanol Concluded that the technology was ready for commercial testing 8

10 Commercial Trials - Overview Trial Objectives: Demonstrate increase in ethanol production Measure cellulosic ethanol and validate D3 RINs protocols Ensure normal operations during trial Edeniq s Approach: Dedicated Edeniq trial team Collaborate with plants on trial plan Prescribe and prepare operational adjustments On site team to ensure RINs protocols are followed Determine via D3 RINs protocols the cellulose converted fraction and cellulosic ethanol fraction 9

11 Ethanol Lift Commercial Pathway Results 6% 5% 4% 3% 2% 1% 0% Typical Pathway Results Cellulosic Lift Starch Lift Cellunator Low Dose Medium Dose High Dose Results similar to pilot plant Observed a lift in starch ethanol and cellulosic ethanol Confirmed D3 RINs protocols at commercial scale Cellulosic ethanol fraction between 0.5% and 2.5%, depending upon enzyme dose Continue to work to optimize performance for each plant 10

12 Pathway Economics 120 MGPY Revenue Changes Ethanol $9,651,840 Oil $2,400,000 Cellulosic RINs $3,841,200 Sub Total Revenue $15,893,040 Cost Changes Corn $ - Other Costs (Enzyme & Maintenance) $2,315,636 License Fee $1,280,400 SubTotal Costs $3,596,036 Change in Margin $12,297,004 Reduction in DDGs $5,801,916 Net Benefit $6,495,087 Enzyme Only Net Benefit $ 2,000,000 11

14 The Pathway Bolt-On Rollout December 16, 2016 February 10, 2016 March 2, 2016 March 24, 2016 June 9, 2016 Pacific Ethanol announces Pathway license and commercial production of cellulosic ethanol Edeniq announces comprehensive Pathway license to Flint Hills Mid American Agri Products/Wheatland Brings Edeniq Cellunators Online Aemetis licenses Edeniq s Pathway technology Siouxland Energy selects Edeniq Cellunator and Pathway Technology We are now commercially producing cellulosic ethanol using Edeniq s Pathway Technology at our Stockton facility. We are working with Edeniq and the Environmental Protection Agency to qualify these gallons for generating D3 cellulosic RINs, which carry a premium over conventional ethanol, and we look forward to receiving their approval.
