3 About This Asset Sale Vanguard Synfuels, LLC is 100% owned by its holding company, Consolidated Energy Holdings, LLC (CEH). CEH are asking $5.25 million ($0.35/annual nameplate gallon) for the assets of Vanguard Synfuels, LLC (ww.vanguardsynfuels.com) a fully licensed, 15MMgy, EPA accredited, operating biodiesel plant. The sale requires the buyer to move the plant s assets from its current location (on the site of a former anhydrous ammonia/fertilizer) plant) to a site of the buyer s choosing; however, Vanguard will provide proposal on a turn-key basis for re-establishing the fully operational plant (the existing Vanguard site is being re-purposed for others). Vanguard s biodiesel plant was commissioned in 2005 as a biodiesel plant to run very low FFA oils such as soy and canola. In 2010 bioenergy engineering firm, Jatrodiesel ( re-designed and managed the construction of a major plant upgrade allowing the processing of up to 22% FFA oils such as poultry fat, fish oil, yellow grease, used cooking oil and tallows. The work also increased the plant s annual throughput (nameplate) from 12MMgy to 15MMgy. Jatrodiesel will provide engineering services to design and manage the tear-down, transportation to the new site, and erection of the plant on a turn-key basis. This includes coordinating with buyer for permitting and all engineering and construction required for commissioning the new plant (either as an add-on to an existing plant or a greenfield). Additionally, for approx. $4 million additional cost, the plant could be expanded to 30MMgy. 11/25/2013 3

6 Plant Overview Current operations, facilities and logistics Fully operational 15 million gallons per year production Continuous process technology (as opposed to batch) Multi-feedstock capability: soy, corn and animals fats, up to 22% FFA. Facility includes a 6,000 sq. ft. brick administration office Biodiesel chilling system for meeting winter spec product Adequate storage for feedstock, biodiesel, chemicals and glycerin Facility sits on 320 acres with 100 for industrial use Glycerin processing and storage (to 84% purity level) Truck access with certified scales and micro-motion meters Fresh water permitted ponds (not used) and two permitted water wells Dry wash system (uses no water). More efficient, better final product Rail access via Vanguard s two rail spurs off the Union Pacific mainline 11/25/2013 Plant connected to two industrial natural gas pipelines Distillation column removes methanol from glycerin Water access via Red River port 16 miles from plant. Connects to Gulf and Mississippi River 6

7 Plant Overview Jerome Whiddon, How Vanguard makes its biodiesel... (steps 1-6) Plant Manager 1. Feedstock is drawn from storage 2. Removal of moisture and impurities 3. Steam boiler keeps feedstock hot 4. FFA in feedstock is esterified to biodiesel 5. Methanol & catalyst to start reaction 6. Transesterification tanks (continued... ) 11/25/2013 7

8 Plant Overview Jerome Whiddon, Plant Manager How Vanguard makes its biodiesel... (steps 7-12) 7. Glycerin is settled out of biodiesel 8. Methanol is removed from glycerin 9. Biodiesel is chilled to remove sterols Feedstock is drawn from storage 10. Partially complete biodiesel storage 11. Biodiesel stored before final polishing 12. Biodiesel finished product tank 8 11/25/2013 8

9 Operations Overview Plant operations managed from a single control center, 7/24 The PLC (programmable logic control) is manned by a single operator Plant runs two 12-hours shifts seven days a week On night-shift, one operator and a utility man Day-shift is the same as night plus up to two maintenance personnel PLC controls all feedstock, chemical and biodiesel processing pump flows, dwell times including temperatures and pressures. 11/25/2013 9

10 Operations Overview Chemistry lab and testing of biodiesel At right a sample of biodiesel Vanguard typically produces and processed from a blend of used cooking oil and animal fats (called yellow grease or YG) Below left a sample of #2 diesel fuel. At right, the same fuel blended with 20% Vanguard biodiesel All incoming feedstock is tested to meet agreed upon specifications (typically not over 15% FFA or 2% moisture, impurities and unsaponafiable materials While the PLC controls product flows, temperature and pressure, material in process must be checked manually for meeting correct condition at certain points Once the biodiesel is finished it is tested to meet the ASTM 6751 specification required by customers and for obtaining government subsidies. 100% #2 diesel 80% #2 diesel w/20% biodiesel 11/25/

11 Operations Overview Typical Biodiesel Certificates of Analysis 11/25/

12 Operations Overview Loading for rail cars Trucks 15 minutes to Interstate Two spurs connecting to the Union Pacific A total of 33 cars can be berthed at a time Fast biodiesel loading racks for multiple cars Designed for off-loading feedstock Steam injection to cars to ease unloading in winter months for low iodine feedstocks Easy off-loading of trucks to feedstock tank Micro-motion meter and scales for measuring incoming and outgoing loads Paved roads throughout plant Steam injection system for high iodine feedstock unloading 11/25/

13 Marketing Biodiesel marketing and sales (Left) Darrell Duboc, CEO with Ian Lawson, Sales & Marketing Manager Almost all biodiesel produced finds a ready market within about 350 miles of the plant The company sells to distributors who blend the biodiesel to between 5% biodiesel and 95% #2 diesel fuel and 20% biodiesel and 80% #2 diesel fuel The biodiesel finds its way to retail stations all over Texas and along the Gulf coast The local market for biodiesel is handled through the port (PAAL) where local distributors can pick up blended biodiesel and deliver to stations in central Louisiana An increasing number of sales are made to customers using 100% biodiesel. Pilot is America s largest truck stop chain 11/25/
