Agenda What is Carbon Recycling International (CRI)? What is CRI’s Emission-to-liquids technology (ETL)? Is ETL ready to be deployed at scale? What will be the impact of ETL on in the market? Does CO2 re-use make a business case? What are the needs of this sector? What are the bottlenecks?

What is Carbon Recycling International?2006 Carbon Recycling International founded in Reykjavík
2007-2010 Development of emission-to-liquids technology
2011 Construction of plant beginsGrant to develop waste to fuel technologyFleet trials with oil companies
2012 Plant inauguratedETL patent issued in USFFV fleet trials with MethanexSales of Vulcanol to biodiesel and chemical productionDutch regulations amended to include VulcanolCommercial contract with ArgosEU grant to develop cyclic carbonates from CO2 technology
2013 Continuous operation of industrial plantSales to Holland

Opportunities for electrofuels
Stranded renewable energy Convert to green MJ Lower CO2 footprint

–CO2
We don’t face energy shortage: we face an energy location and distribution problem
Renewable energy sourcesare usually either stranded“in time” – intermittent – orby location - access todistribution and market
Overcome location anddistribution issue whilereducing carbon footprint oftransportation and increasingrenewable energy
Conversion provides greenenergy in liquid form whichis easily stored andtransported and meetstargets for sustainability

Technology is deployed at industrial scalewhich limits risks of going to larger scale Scale-up and sustained operation of production plant has
been demonstrated under industrial conditions Plant is based on modular design and construction which
allows scale up risk to be contained and predictable Energy and feedstocks available and can be locked in with
long-term contracts for power and other utilities CRI R&D working with vendors on reducing CAPEX in
larger scale plant beyond economies of scale

CRI has tested high Vulcanol blend in Flex FuelVehicles (E85) which require no modification
FFV/E85 vehicle incremental production cost ~€100/car
Engine control system already reprogrammed for higher oxygen
Active oxygen sensor connected to engine control
Fuel tank and fuel linefrom material alreadycompatible withalcohol
Fuel pump andinjectors alreadydesigned for morefuel throughput

Member States must ensure 10% offinal consumption of energy intransport is from renewablesources
Renewable energy sources are non-fossil sources, both non-biologicaland from biomass and biogas
Biofuels must meet specificsustainability criteria; contributionof energy of biofuels from wastesand cellulose shall be counted twice
Does the current policy framework promoteproduction from non-biological sources?

ILUC amendment limits crop based biofuelsand promotes more advanced renewables
Only 5% of energy should come from firstgeneration biofuels

How will ETL impact supply and pricing In medium term producers are price takers based on
current economics of 1st generation biofuels and €/MJ Technology is cost competitive and has scaling potential
which will impact market over longer term horizon Next steps is to scale the technology at ~100 t/d in
Iceland with available green energy and CO2
Main challenge for deployment of technology in mainlandEU is to compete with feed in tariffs and RED frameworkon LCA for electro-fuels

Needs and Bottlenecks Small player in a very big market Barriers to entry in fuel market Excise duty per liter Text and regulations written for bio, e.g. Double counting
currently only for biomass, RVP waiver for ethanol only
Use of renewable electricity by means of certificates oforigin
Value in CO2 reduction not valued by market andregulations
