Water Reduction Goal

• Target: 2.33 gallons of water per gallon of ethanol produced
• Represents an annual savings of one billion gallons of water

How do we get there?
• POET engineers have designed a proprietary process called Total Water Recovery
• Recycles more water, virtually eliminating discharge
• Facilities where we have installed it average 2-2.5 gallons per gallon of ethanol

Total Water Recovery
• Already installed in:– Bingham Lake, Minn.– Caro, Mich.– Hudson, S.D.
• We will expand it to other facilities
• Looking at making it available producers outside of POET
