13 Recommendations 13 4 technologies recommended to Cellulosic Sugar Producers Cooperative Requirements for commercial scale project development Comet Biorefining chosen by CSPC

14 14 Cellulosic Sugar Technology Observations

15 Cellulosic sugar technology trivia 15 that had no influence in BICs evaluation 90% of the technologies started with hardwood as the starting biomass >75% of the technologies latest design ended with agricultural biomass as the preferred feedstock US renewable fuel policy accelerated development of cellulosic technologies Original assumptions of ultra low cost biomass has proven to be an economic myth Lignin still cannot make money today

16 Top Three Costs of Producing 16 Cellulosic Sugars (Glucose Basis) 1. Delivered cost of biomass 2. Conversion of cellulose to glucose Enzymes 3. Pretreatment Separation of cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin

17 Bipolar Distribution in Investment in 17 Biomass Processing Innovation Cost Component Biomass Investment in Innovation Significant Conversion of Cellulose to Glucose Pretreatment Separation of Cellulose, Hemicellulose, Lignin Significant

18 Cellulosic Building Block Products Listed from highest to lowest value today High Purity Xylose 2. Crystalline Nano Cellulose 3. High Purity Glucose 4. High Purity Cellulose 5. Hemicellulose 6. Lignin

19 Investment in Innovation of Building 19 Block Derivatives Cellulosic Building Block Product High Purity Xylose Crystalline Nano Cellulose Investment in Innovation Significant High Purity Glucose High Purity Cellulose Hemicellulose Lignin Overwhelming

20 Competitiveness vs. Incumbent 20 Hemicellulose Lignin Starch Oil Biomass Glucose Fructose Glucose Technology Corn Operating Operating
