6 The Opportunity before us is to address the 5,000 year legacy of depletion and destruction of our natural resources and transform it into a potential $100 Trillion worldwide inventory of restorable and renewable assets

7 Touch on 2 Very Different Sector Opportunities Restorative Development Biofuels/Bioenergy

8 What is Restorative Development? Four sectors primarily restore the Built environment: 1. BROWNFIELDS remediation / redevelopment Industrial sites, commercial sites, ports, terminals, military bases, etc. 2. Infrastructure renovation/redesign/replacement Transportation, power, water, sewage, solid waste, telecommunication, etc. 3. Heritage restoration Historic sites & structures 4. Catastrophe recovery Social: Urban blight, crime, education, unemployment, etc. Disaster/war: Natural disasters, industrial disasters, armed conflicts, etc. Economic disaster: Embargoes, loss of subsidies/aid, military base closures, etc. Four sectors primarily restore the Natural environment: 1. Ecosystem restoration Lakes, wetlands, prairies, shorelines, etc. 2. Watershed restoration Aquifers, forests, rivers, streams, etc. 3. Fisheries restoration Estuaries, reefs, pelagic, etc. 4. Agricultural lands restoration Farms, rural economies, etc.

9 The Restoration Economy is $2 Trillion per year in North America (Brownfields approx. 11 percent or $225 B) Will exceed traditional development in approximately

10 Restorative Development Market Outlook

11 Brownfields Market 450,000 Sites in the United States, approx. 100,000 in California Conservatively estimated to be a $225B market nationwide Margins of 50% to 100% not uncommon

16 According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the global share of biofuels in transport fuel will grow from 2% today to 27% in As a result, the IEA expects biofuels to generate $11-$13 trillion in production between 2010 and 2050

17 Biofuel Demand by Region Source: International Energy Agency 2010 ( in exajoules)

18 Renewable Fuels (Biofuel) The primary drivers for renewable fuels are: Energy independence ( %) Climate change mitigation (80%) Economic development Search for fuels that are lower in cost or price volatility.

19 Aviation GHG emissions increased 42% between 1990 and 2005 Its present contribution to climate change is comparable to that of a major economy such as the United Kingdom but, unlike the UK, the share is increasing and might increase even more steeply in the future

32 Sustainability protect natural resources and human rights and health benefit energy security and rural development offer greenhouse gas emissions reductions as compared to fossil fuels.

33 Biofuel Production: Sustainability Challenges Within the control of the operator Food security: direct local impacts, «food vs. fuel» Lifecycle GHG emissions Direct Land use change Deforestation, biodiversity loss Conservation & biodiversity Pollution of air, water and soil Water use Social welfare issues, land rights issues, worker s rights Sébastien H aye/terre d es Ho mmes Suisse Direct impacts 33

34 Challenges (cont.) Indirect impacts Global, market-driven, outside the boundary of operator control Indirect land use change - Deforestation, biodiversity loss Impacts on commodity markets, food/feed prices and food security Cannot be addressed for biofuels alone All land use sectors must be part of the solution (food & feed production, fossil fuel, livestock, fiber, etc.) 34

35 BioJet recognizes its role in protecting human rights and creating sustainable jobs. BioJet s triple bottom line includes people, the planet, and profits.
