1 At 700 billion tons, Cellulose is the Earth s most widespread natural organic chemical. Let s put it to work. Cleantech to Market Presentation 2010 A. Chen, J. Hennessey, R. Kenny, L. Orbai

2 Biofuel Momentum 2 Cellulosic is a leading, next-generation biofuel Reduced carbon, food-price impact U.S. RFS2: Triple biofuel production by B gallons cellulosic European interest in biodiesel Current Future Corn Sugarcane Wood Corn stover Switchgrass Waste

3 $10 B

4 Cellulosic Ethanol Landscape demo plants Poet: Full-scale,100M gal./yr plant in plants $300B invested

5 Deconstruction Problem 5 Step 1. Pretreatment Step 2. Hydrolysis Step 3. Fermentation Acid, Heat Enzyme Microbes Solvents Yeast Sugars Deconstruction enzymes are expensive and inefficient

6 Biofuel Plant Cost of Operation 6 Other Steam and electricity Deconstruction Enzyme Product recovery Feedstock handling Fermentation Non-hydrolase deconstruction Feedstock costs are not included. For more information please visit econ.jbei.org.

7 Solution: A Better Enzyme 7 Compatible with Industrial Bio-refining Twice as Efficient Agnostic to End Fuel Stable in Heat, Acid & Ionic Liquids JBEI Enzymes Decreases Risk of Microbial Infection

8 Result: Cheaper Enzyme 8 Cost per gallon of ethanol $ $$ Enzyme Production Cost Current Market Enzyme Guaranteed Profit Enzyme Production Cost JBEI Enzyme

9 9 Possibility 1: License to Enzyme Producers Upside Downside Broad Distribution Efficient Production Financial Strength 10-year Lead Time Low Revenue Production Compatibility Stagnation Risk

10 Possibility 2: Start up with VC Funding 10 Upside Downside Control of Technology Maximum Flexibility Financial Upside Experience Curve Funding Gap

11 11 Possibility 2: Scale with Strategic Partnerships Upside Downside Future targets: Prove Technology Access to Capital Established Infrastructure Few Potential Partners Loss of Autonomy

12 Risks 12 Market Risk Regulation Price of oil Industry standards Technology Risk Scalability Obsolescence Intellectual property Limited customers

13 I.P. Opportunity 13 Core IP: Patents pending on engineered enzymes 3 provisional applications conversion upcoming Recommendation: Broaden claim scope Method claims Composition + function claims Strategic IP Company should expand portfolio of patents Other enzymes and cocktails

14 Better Enzyme + $10B Market = Attractive Opportunity
