1 Founded in 2008 Operations in U.S. and Brazil >$20M revenue in for 2013; profitable in 2015 COMPANY Low cost, cellulosic sugars Continuous production platform Mechanical & biological innovations Ethanol Advanced Biofuels Biochemicals >$150 billion Edeniq Highlights MODEL TECHNOLOGY MARKETS
3
2 Sugar is the new oil Low cost cellulosic sugars Convert w/ microbes & catalysts
4
3 Cheap Sugar from Biomass: Seems Simple, but… Biomass In Cellulosic sugars out Add water & enzymes
5
4 Cellulosic Sugars: Uneconomic at Current Costs ₵/lb Harvest, delivery, storage Low activity, shipping Energy and chemicals Many steps, big vessels
6
5 Edeniq is Slashing Costs: Easier with Well-armed Partners ₵/lb
7
6 A New Approach to Pretreatment Old Paradigm Batch Acids Dilute Hours Dirty Sugars New Paradigm ContinuousMechanicalConcentratedSeconds Clean Sugars
8
7 8 Year Partnership with IKA Leader in High Shear MHD: Hydration of biomass up to 40 wt% solids in seconds Cellunator™: High shear milling of biomass slurry in seconds
9
8 Confidential Integrated platform of pretreatment & cellulase enzymes Bolt-On Cellunator Bolt-On Step 1: Add Cellunator: pretreat cellulose & increase sugar from starch by 4% Step 1: Add Cellunator: pretreat cellulose & increase sugar from starch by 4%
10
9 Confidential Integrated platform of pretreatment & cellulase enzymes Bolt-On Cellunator Bolt-On Step 2: Add cellulases: increase sugar by 3% from cellulose Step 2: Add cellulases: increase sugar by 3% from cellulose
