6. Intelligent Biofuels 6 2011: THE YEAR OF CONSTRUCTION Commercial Production of Advanced Biofuels is Under Construction  Construction has Begun  Fulcrum and Others Starting Construction in Q3 2011 Active Financial Markets  Project and Private Equity  DOE/USDA Loan Guarantee Closings Advanced Biofuel Fundamentals Remain Strong  Energy Security, High Oil Prices Reinforce Need for Alternatives  Biofuels Represent Investment in Infrastructure, Jobs Here at Home  Nearest-Term Substitute for Oil

7. Intelligent Biofuels 7 POLICY CONSIDERATIONS FOR LAWMAKERS, INDUSTRY Facilitate a Robust Project Financing Environment for Biorefineries  Better Utilize Existing DOE, USDA Loan Guarantee Programs  Establish 30% ITC for Biorefineries – Parity With Renewable Electricity  Long-Term Financing Program – Public/Private Bank (CEDA) Fortify Existing Regulatory Markets  No Adv. Biofuel Waivers Under RFS2 – EPA can Send Strong Market Signal  Make RFS2 More Feedstock Neutral, Goal Oriented Biofuel Industry Coordination  Competition Between Biofuel Pathways, Industry Organizations is Unhelpful in 220 BGPY Market - Preventing Real Policy Wins for our Industry  Need a Unified Renewable Fuel Policy and Better Industry Coordination  Collaboration on Recent DOE LG Budget Issue a Good Model Focus on Policies That Will Put Steel in the Ground
