PC’s In Project Development Credibility Capital Pathway (Permitting) Profits

Table 1. Ownership Statistics for Iowa Biofuel Plants organized as Limited Liability Companies, AverageMedianMinimumMaximum Owners ,533 % IA Owners # Individuals ,533 % Individual Owned # Iowa Farm Owners % Owned by Iowa Farmers Source: Iowa Dept of Revenue

Economic Impact of Owner Distributions for a Case Study 100mgy Ethanol Plant, $54.6 million in Distributions to Investors Two years with no payouts Indirect & Induced Economic Effects $14.7 million New Income 431 jobs $46 million of new sales, primarily in retail trade and serves categories

Iowa Power Fund Advanced Biofuel and Biomass Projects Approved, AmountMatch 1.Poet Project Liberty $ m $231.4 m 30mgy cellulosic ethanol 2.Dupont Danesco$9 m$226.1 m 30mgy cellulosic ethanol 3. Bioprocess Algae-Green$ m$4.738 m Plains Energy R&D 4. Quad Co. Corn Processors$1.45 m$7.702 m Cellulosic DDG Process 5. Avello Bioenergy –ISU R&D$2.5 m$4.644 m Biomass to asphalt, shingles, fuel & chemicals

Iowa Power Fund Advanced Biofuel and Biomass Projects Approved, AmbroZea (ISU/UI) R&D$ 1.5 m $ 14.5 m Multi-tasking Yeast 7.Growth-Design Energy$ 1.5 m$ m 2 nd Generation Biodiesel 8. Amana Renewable Energy$ m$ m Anaerobic Digester 9.PL Energy On-farm Poultry$ 2 m$ 3 m Litter Gasification to Power 10.Renew Energy Systems -- mobile$ 250 k$ 637 k solid biomass briquette plant 11.SynGest Menlo LLC -- FEED-1,2$2.5 m$3.5 m Bio-Ammonia Fertilizer Production

Iowa Power Fund Advanced Biofuel and Biomass Projects Approved, By 2010, $38 m of 71 m obligated in 31 projects Leverage 10-1 Amaizing Energy MEButanol Project – IPF initially approved 2009 – $2 m with $8 m match contingent on DOE grant – Anti-corn bias: double output from same corn – Patent Applied July 2008 – Received Feb 2013

Iowa Innovation Demonstration Program Awarded $13 m to 101 companies $140 k average – less than power fund 3 rd Party Economic Impact Study 79 companies received $8.7 million $150 m in added value Supported 1100 total jobs $49 m annual earnings $2.1 million annual tax revenue State payback on revenue—less than 5 years

Policy Uncertainty from Washington 1. Budget Uncertainty 2.Farm Bill Uncertainty 3.Program Uncertainty 4.RFS Uncertainty

What Must Project Developers Do to De-Risk Projects? 1.Off-take Agreements 2.Feedstock Agreements 3.Technology Demonstrated 4.Efficient Design & Construction Warranty 5.Operations and Maintenance Experience 6.Industry Standard Financial Projections

What can Universities Do to Assist Project Development Success? Recognize 3 sources of New Technology Intellectual Property IP from Academic Research (Faculty, Students, Staff) Corporate Partnership R&D Budgets Small Company Entrepreneur Patents Only 3 % of U.S. Patents come from Academy (MIT Center for Industrial Performance)

What can Universities Do to Assist Project Development Success? Allocate Some Outreach Resources & Technical Assistance Accordingly Recognize that not all Clients want or need university research capacity; – Retired Chemical Engineer – Small R&D Company with SBIR Project Development & Management Expertise Facilitation of Access to Capital

So what can Universities Do? Develop/Organize Institutional Capacity Collaborative Multi-disciplinary Teams Individuals with Experience & Track Record Facilitate Partnerships to Address Capital Gaps Ag Ventures Alliance VAAP Biz Dev Coop Rural Development Partners (NMTC) Alumni/University Foundation Role Optional Portion Pensions/Retirement Funds for Community Reinvestment Company Creation Incentives > Grants & Journals

What can the Private Sector Do? Change: “We are an Operating Company—Not An R & D Company” Didn’t work for Buggy Manufacturers Billions of $ Sitting on Sidelines? Expansion with existing technology no guarantee for success Strategic Partnerships in mutual Interest can generate mutual benefit Nation was built on Innovation, Capitalism & Entrepreneurial Spirit

Summary and Conclusions Agricultural Research U.S. Government $2 billion Private Sector $3 billion China Agricultural Research$45 billion Will we make the investments necessary to remain the world’s global innovator for the benefit of our future generations?
