From a little plant in Scotland, SD

We’ve Come a Long Way

Reduction in Energy Use

How did we do it? Technology

Alternative Energy – Cogeneration

Alternative Energy – Chancellor

Reduction in Water Use

Increased yield per bushel

Rural Economic Development

We’re Not Done Yet. Today we are launching a new aggressive initiative…

Improving biofuel sustainability
World is trending toward sustainability
Producing the most sustainable biofuels will position us for the future
It will make our plants more efficient
It’s the right thing to do

This Involves all of POET

Ingreenuity Goals

Four Goals
Reduction in water intensity
Reduction in GHG intensity
Increase sustainable biofuel production to replace petroleum
Increase the production of bioproducts to replace products made from petroleum

First Goal: Water Reduction

Building on past gains

One Billion Gallons by 2014

Water Reduction Goal
Reduce water intensity at our existing plants by 22% by 2014
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

Dedication Procession

Over one-third of the world's population has no access to sanitation facilities.
At any one time, half of the world’s hospital beds are occupied by patients
suffering from water-borne diseases.
In developing countries, about 80% of illnesses are linked to poor water
and sanitation conditions.
1 out of every 4 deaths under the age of 5 worldwide is due to a
water-related disease.
Water Scarcity & Health Effects

Many women in developing countries spend hours each day collecting water, preventing them from doing vital domestic or income-generating work

In the dry season, water can be hard to find

People walk miles to fill buckets for daily use

Water becomes a valuable commodity for sale

Improved access to water & sanitation reduces poverty
Time saved being used for increased
• Agricultural production
• Manufacture of goods
• Sale of services
Money saved by
• Reduced cost of water
• Reduced cost of medical treatment
Water availability for increased
• Livestock production
• Crop production
• Fruit and vegetable production
• Food and drink vending

Our Five Year Targets
30 new sealed, hand-dug wells
25 new borehole and pump wells
35 wells serviced to improve access, amount and purity of water
available
Church-wide training to establish health workers and water management
committees in every project village
More than 300,000 people with sustainable access to pure water

Servicing to prevent contamination

Improved access: deepening a hand-dug well

Increased water supply: a “spring box” project

New Water: A village borehole & pump

Employee Water Conservation Water conservation is for everyone Kits from the City of Sioux Falls

Additional Goals
Developing 3 more Ingreenuity goals:
Reduction in GHG intensity
Increase sustainable biofuel production to replace petroleum
Increase production of bioproducts to replace those made from petroleum
More to come in the future
