1 Direct Sugar to Hydrocarbon (DSHC) From Research to Commercialization The platform molecule farnesane [2,6,10-] trimethyl-dodecane Dr. Ralf Stöckel, TOTAL New Energies

2 TOTAL Amyris DSHC pathway Develop the whole value chain integrated from biomass to finished products Feedstock sourcing Synthetic biology Fermentation Downstream processing Trading & marketing Fuels Special fluids Lubricants etc 1 st generation in Brazil on sugar cane Leading to 2 nd generation Bio-engineering of microorganisms R&D network Track record for strain improvement Scale-up Adjustment to markets requirement Customization to specifications Competitive molecules Access to markets The development of a renewable jet fuel technology was the first joint program 2

3 Choising the right matabolic pathway SUGARCANE ETHANOL phosphoenol - pyruvate pyruvate acetaldehyde Baker s Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae Acetyl CoA Isoprenoid Synthesis VITAMINS PHARMACEUTICALS IPP/DMAPP GPP FPP monoterpenes sesquiterpenes FARNESENE FRAGRANCE OILS ISOPRENE ARTEMISINIC ACID 3

4 An innovative technology based on standard industrial operations 1) Fermentation - Microbe-catalyzed conversion of sugar: key is the development of a farnesene producing yeast via innovative biotechnology for which Amyris is a leader - Amyris industrial farnesene plant, with a capacity of up to 50 million liters per year at target efficiency, was started-up in 2012 in Brotas, São Paulo State, Brazil, where the largest availability of sustainable sugar can be found 4

5 An innovative technology based on standard industrial operations 2) Downstream Processing - Combination of hydroprocessing and separation operations - Production of a diesel grade and a more refined aviation grade Farnesane aviation grade is representative of the industrial grade 5
