Canada has a Serious Energy Image Problem

Current Production and Capacity

• 2012 Production – – ~150 Million Litres of biodiesel

– ~1.8 billion litres of Ethanol

• We produce almost everything we need from an ethanol perspective, but we do still have imports which contribute to over compliance

• Expected biodiesel Capacity - ~ 400 Million Litres is expected to come online this year

– ADM facility in Lloydminster (~250 Litres)

• Remainder comes from offshore:

– Canadian Canola is exported to the Western United States for upgrading and returned to Canada as biodiesel

– Renewable Diesel from Asia and Europe

Biofuels Facilities in Canada

Supply vs. Demand – Mandates and Production

Mandate of 5% Renewable Content in Gasoline

~2.1 billion litres of demand in 2013

Ethanol 2012 Production

~1.8 billion litres of Ethanol

~ 2.8 billion litres of consumption

Mandate of 2% Renewable Content in Diesel

~ 600 million litres of demand in 2013

2012 Renewable Diesel Production

~ 150 Million L of biodiesel, and imported ~250 M/L of biodiesel and ~170 M/L of HDRD

Greenhouse Gas Emission Reductions

Advanced Biofuels in Canada – We need to

build enthusiasm!

• On the cusp of breaking out in Canada - Thermochemical Technology

- Biological/Enzymatic Technology

• Wealth of feedstocks – core issues vary by project including feedstock pre-treatment, high capex and “first of a kind risk”

– Advanced Biofuels can be integrated with the government’s drive to

transform the forestry sector, and stimulate the agricultural and manufacturing sectors

– Advanced Biofuels can solve several environmental challenges

including those surrounding landfills

• The main challenge is about financing full scale commercial facilities

Next Generation Biofuels and Co-

Products

• Significant, sustainable volumes of cellulosic feedstocks (2nd

generation feedstocks) are available and can be used to

supplement supply

• Cellulosic Ethanol is produced from lignocellulose, a structural

material that comprises much of the mass from plants (i.e.

wood, energy crops, and agricultural residues such as corn

cobs and stover)

• Commercialization of next generation biofuels will require a

co-location strategy, with next-gen processing modules

integrated with existing first generation ethanol production

facilities.

Process Advancements Within the Dry Mill Ethanol Sector

Technology Technology Provider Benefits

Corn Oil Extraction Solution Recovery Systems

Crude corn oil has market value >3x DDGS Corn oil can be sold as liquid feed, as a feedstock for biodiesel, or can be further processed to make ethyl esters and other ‘green’ biochemicals

Pavilion Expert Controls Rockwell Industries

Advanced process control software acts as an ‘auto pilot’ to optimize process conditions, increasing yields and efficiencies, while lowering energy consumption

Advanced Enzymes/Yeasts

Various Cutting edge enzymes and yeasts can boost yields and increase output

Selective Grind Fluid Quip Novel disk-grind system exposes (previously) unfermentable starch to generate 1% yield improvement

Hydrolysis Utilization Nelson Engineering Optimizes and extends fermentation residence time by managing solids composition. Leads to enhanced yields.

Today’s Agenda

• Jim Grey, IGPC

– The foundation for build-out to fuel growth and innovation

• Malcolm West, GreenField Ethanol

– The next wave of business planning

• Scott Lewis, BIOX Corporation

– The next wave of diesel replacement products

Please come to the 2013 Canadian Renewable Fuels Summit –

December 2-4 right here in Montreal!
