1 Cellulosic Biofuels and Energy Grasses Energy Policy Issues Committee March 21, 2012 Agenda Commercializing cellulosic biofuels in North Carolina Feedstock (Biomass) is key Chemtex International, M&G Group Crescentino Italy First Commercial Cellulosic Biofuels Plant Project Alpha, Clinton NC Energy Grasses Feedstock Supply Chain Eastern NC Swine sprayfields agronomic rates Economic Viability Mark Conlon Vice President, Sector Development Biofuels Center of North Carolina
2 Cellulosic Biofuels and Energy Grasses Energy Policy Issues Committee March 21, 2012 Corn ethanol is currently the only bank financeable, proven turnkey technology for biofuels in the US Corn is not a viable option for biofuels in NC Limited acreage suitable for corn in NC Must import corn to supply our swine and poultry industries By policy, NC is pursuing 2 nd generation cellulosic biofuels
3 Biofuels Value Chain Creating Economic Viability 2nd Generation Biofuels Biofuels development requires economic sustainability across each link of the value chain Energy crops must provide greater value to the farm than existing crop practices Feedstock Transportation Processing and Conversion Distribution End User
4 Biofuels Value Chain Creating Economic Viability 2nd Generation Biofuels Biofuels development requires economic sustainability across each link of the value chain Production facilities are capital intensive and must generate ample ROI for equity investors with minimal new technology and commercial risk Feedstock Transportation Processing and Conversion Distribution End User
5 Biofuels Value Chain Creating Economic Viability 2nd Generation Biofuels Biofuels development requires economic sustainability across each link of the value chain Cellulosic ethanol can utilize existing petroleum and ethanol distribution infrastructure. Eventually new investment and ROI will be required for flex fuel pumps at the retail level Feedstock Transportation Processing and Conversion Distribution End User
6 Biofuels Total Production Costs Biomass is Key to Economic Viability All Other 20% Delivered Feedstock Costs Biomass Biofuels projects develop where feedstocks are most abundant and cost effective Clinton
7 North Carolina Swine Lagoon Map Sprayfields conversion to Energy Grasses 3343 swine waste lagoons 200,886 sprayfield acres Clinton
8 Swine Industry Concentration Higher Value from Sprayfields with Energy Grasses Chemtex Site, Clinton
9 North Carolina Swine Industry Higher Value from Sprayfields with Energy Grasses?
10 2nd Generation Biofuels Economics Enhanced by Higher Yielding Crops and switchgrass BIOFUELSCENTER.ORG Site: North Carolina s Biofuels Campus, Oxford
11 Farming Giant Reed Arundo donax
12 Chemtex International an overview A multi-national engineering design and construction company delivering turn-key projects USD $300 million plus in annual turnover U.S. administrative and engineering HQ Wilmington NC Part of a privately held Italian polyethylene terephthalate (PET) manufacturing concern Groupo Mossi & Ghisolfi (M&G Group) Worlds largest PET producer, resin used in high grade packaging Annual turnover is excess of USD $4 Billion
13 Chemtex International PROESA Renewable Platform Biofuels and Bioproducts breakthrough technology displaces petroleum with energy grasses commercial ready First plant under construction 15 MGY cellulosic ethanol Crescentino Italy - 100% equity finance Second plant under development - 20 MGY cellulosic ethanol Near Clinton in Sampson County NC Project Alpha Feedstock advantaged - energy grasses on swine sprayfields Equity secured, including 25% equity stake from Toyota Project finance tied to USDA 9003 loan guarantee program
14 Chemtex/M&G Group Crescentino, Italy 15 MGY Cellulosic Ethanol Plant 2 nd Plant (20 MGY) to be duplicated at larger scale in Clinton, NC
15 Chemtex International, M&G Group Crescentino, Italy Arundo donax feedstock Cellulosic Ethanol Plant Construction
16 Chemtex Cellulosic Ethanol Project Alpha Why Clinton North Carolina? Eastern North Carolina can sustainably produce and deliver more tonnage of energy crops at lower price points - swine sprayfields NC swine industry provides high acreage and tonnage from a manageable supply base critical to supply chain & project finance 200,000 acres of swine sprayfields within 600,000 acres of hay provides for biofuels and bio-products plant clustering opportunities. State commitment to biofuels development
17 Chemtex International Project Alpha - $170 million Site selection, Sampson County Completed July 2011 USDA decision on Loan Guarantee Mid November 2011 USDA letter to BB&T decision delayed up to September 2012 Environmental Impact Assessment Completed Nov Multi-year feedstock contracts (100%) Viable regulatory agronomic rate changes sought Chemtex offering long-term take or pay contracts Financial Closing March 2012 Delayed Initiate equipment purchases March 2012 Delayed Construction starts July 2012 Delayed Construction completed December 2013 Delayed Plant Start-up January 2014 Delayed

20 North Carolina Swine Industry Higher Value from Sprayfields with Energy Grasses - Issues Swine sprayfields are regulated to manage nitrogen from swine waste (lagoon effluent). Agronomic data - nutrient uptake (nitrogen) and remediation capacity of energy grasses is limited Interim effluent application rates for perennial grasses set in July 2011 are too low for viable introduction Giant reed Switchgrass Miscanthus longer term interest, current establishment costs are too high
21 North Carolina Swine Industry Conditional Term sheet Supply Agreements for Energy Grasses with Chemtex 1. Murphy Brown LLC Swine Integrator Smithfield Foods 2. Murphy Family Ventures LLC Largest integrated contract swine producer 3. Goldsboro Milling Company Swine Integrator Maxwell Foods 4. Prestage Farms Swine Integrator Higher N agronomic rates for energy grasses are needed on swine sprayfields to finalize supply contracts with Chemtex
