1 CAAFI Feedstock Interests UF IFAS Carinata Field Day Steve Csonka Executive Director, CAAFI Date: 28Apr 15 Place: NFR&EC, Quincy, FL UF IFAS 28Apr 15

2 Aviation s Successes & Challenges Unprecedented Value! Safe, High-Speed, Efficient Transport Connectivity & Trade lifelines Full range of transport products Jobs, Development & GDP resulting in robust growth Commensurate Challenges Noise & Emissions (CO2 and LAQ) Costs: Development & Operating Overall sustainability Continued efficiency improvement

3 Why aviation cares about SAJF Sustainable Alternative Jet Fuel Aviation commitments Decouple carbon growth Industry alignment on SAJF value proposition Net carbon relief Supply surety, Price stability Energy security Lower LAQ emissions Improved energy mass density Minimal infrastructure impact Economic development SAJF works! Challenges, yes but abundant 0ptions! Multiple feedstocks, conversion technologies, entrepreneurs 12 April

4 CAAFI - Public/Private Partnership A reflection of the 23+B gpy U.S. jet fuel market pull An aviation industry coalition established to facilitate and promote the introduction of alternative aviation fuel Goal is development of non-petroleum, drop-in, jet fuel production with: Equivalent safety & performance Comparable cost Environmental improvement Security of energy supply for aviation Enables its diverse stakeholders to build relationships, share and collect data, identify resources, and direct research, development and deployment of alternative jet fuels 12 April

5 How CAAFI works Bringing interested parties together Aircraft, Engine, Subsystem OEM s Airlines, Military, Airport orgs. Academia, Gov t Labs ~800 Global Sponsors / Stakeholders Supply Chain Partners Fuel Producers, Suppliers, Handlers Fed & State Government Offices to simply stand-up a new industrial segment SAJF 12 April

6 Working through P-P-Ps To facilitate deployment Feedstock Production Feedstock Logistics Fuel Conversion Conversion Process Scaleup/Integration Fuel Testing/Approval Fuel Performance Environment Assmt Enable Production End User/ Buyer USDA: BCAP & CIP, Feedstock Development Center Grants, AFRI/NIFA Caps Farm to Fly 2.0 DOE & DOD: R&D grants USDA & DOE: R&D grants FAA & DOD: C/Q Fuel testing FAA, DOD, & NASA: Enviro Analysis USDA, USN, & DOE: Defense Production Act and Biorefinery Program DOD/DLA & Airlines: fuel purchase FAA: Guidance for Airports CAAFI State Initiatives EPA: Renewable Fuel Standard 12 April

7 In- Process Approved SAJF production pathway qualification Enabling drop-in SAJF development SAJF Pathway ASTM D7566 annexes Gasification & FT (XTL-SPK, 50% blend) Hydroprocessing FOG (HEFA-SPK, 50% blend) Biochem sugars (SIP-SPK, 10% blend) Thermochem alcohols (ATJx2) Hydrotherm oils (CH high blend %) Thermochem various (APR / HL) Renewable Diesel (low blend %) Thermochem cellulose (HDCJ) Refinery Co-processing Expecting next approval (Gevo/Butanol) by mid year Possible for subsequent approvals every ~6 months thereafter 12 April

8 In- Process Approved Oilseed (F.O.G.) applicability Multiple pathways SAJF Pathway Gasification & FT Hydroprocessing FOG Biochem sugars Thermochem alcohols (ATJx2) Hydrotherm oils (CH) Thermochem various (APR / HL) Renewable Diesel Thermochem cellulose (HDCJ) Refinery Co-processing 12 April Honeywell / UOP Eni Ecofining Neste NEXBTL: SAJF Intentions (first facilities) AltAir Fuels Emerald Biofuels SG Preston ARA - unique value proposition Potential as 100% drop-in Intent to unlock existing RD production - Already approaching 1 B+ gpy capacity Front-end: Blend with crude Mid: FCC, HC, Coker? Back-end: Hydroprocessing 30 M gpy 88 M gpy 110 M gpy

9 Looking diligently at F.O.G. TEA suggests feasibility is in the feedstock economics Multiple conversion processes Lowered H2 cost & availability Multiple feedstock developers Multiple producers Multiple low LUC/ILUC agribased feedstocks, plus: White Grease Chicken Fat Tallow UCO Yellow Grease Brown Grease Easier supply chain scale-up leveraging biodiesel and RD production capacity Targeting most sustainable solutions: Low, or Zero, impact LUC/ILUC & F-v-F solutions; Environmental Services a plus. 12 April

11 F2F2 Agreement: A Public-Private-Partnership project April 2013, Washington DC THEREFORE, AS OUR GOAL, we the undersigned, jointly signify our intent to continue working together over the next five years in an expanded collaboration entitled Farm to Fly 2.0, to enable commercially viable, sustainable bio-jet Fuel supply chains in the U.S. that are able to support the goal of one billion gallons of bio-jet Fuel production capacity and use for the Aviation Enterprise by April

12 The recent addition of DOE Intended to leverage their biofuels expertise, and fill some R&DDD holes. Focus on drop-in fuels. Clear message: drive qualified processes and supply chains into production and down the learning curve. 12 April
