Breaking the Biofuels Sugar Cost Barrier CEO Kef Kasdin April 21, 2011

Refine CO 2 + H Nutrients Fuels & Chemicals Feed Creation Growth $ Harvest $ Process $ Logistics $ Sugarcane, Corn, Cellulose From Sunlight to Sugar Today 2 The cost amplifier

From Sunlight to Sugar Today 3 World sugar price volatility

Sugarcane Economics 4

Productivity Per Acre Drives Cost 5

State of the Art: Liquid Photobioreactor 6

Proterro is developing a fermentation- ready sugar to enable economical production of biofuels and chemicals. 7 Protose: Is feedstock, not fuel Is not derived from corn, sugarcane, or cellulose Does not require harvesting or separation Is a geographically flexible sugar source

Refine CO 2 + H Nutrients Fuels & Chemicals Feed Creation From Sunlight to Protose 8 Removing the cost amplifier Lower cost than sugarcane, corn or cellulose Significantly higher productivity per acre Reach market through partners Proterro Protose™ Sugar

Synthetic Biology Accomplishment 9 Engineered a novel sugar-producing organism Natural System Cyanobacteria + salt = sucrose Final strain for continuous, scalable Protose production DNA Manipulation

Proterro Invented Solid Phase PBR 10 Demonstrated & Scaled 10x; Modular approach 1 foot x 1 foot1 meter x 1 meter
