    The Future Is Now for Cellulose Ethanol - Presentation Transcript

    1. The Future is Now: Cellulose Ethanol Mike Roth Director, International Business Development Biofuels Markets Asia June 2007
      • POET Overview:
      • Formerly Broin Companies
      • 20 Years Ethanol Industry Experience
      • 29 Ethanol Plant Development Projects
      • 2 nd Largest Producer in the U.S.
      • Unique Integrated Business Model
      • Leading Developer of Technology
          • Process Innovation
          • Environmental Stewardship
          • Commitment to Research & Development
      • Low Cost Producer
    2. Ethanol Statistics in the United States
      • Capacity 6.183 billion
      • Operating 119
      • Under Construction 86
      • Capacity in Construction 6.45 billion
      • POET – In Production 1.045 billion
      • POET – Under Construction .375 billion
      *Renewable Fuels Association (http://ethanolrfa.org/industry/locations/)
      • &
      U.S. Department of Energy and POET to jointly fund Commercial Cellulosic Ethanol Bio-Refinery in Iowa
    3. Why Cellulosic Ethanol?
      • 2006 ethanol production
        • 4.8 Billion gallons
      • 2005 total transportation fuel consumption
        • 140 Billion gallons
      • US federal government 2017 goal of 35 Billion gallons of renewable fuels; ethanol must be produced
        • Corn is projected to provide 15 Billion gallons of ethanol by crop year 2017
        • Alternative biomass feedstock will be required to meet the additional 20 Billion gallons of ethanol
    4. Cellulosic Material
      • Feedstock
      • The world over – cellulose is abundant
      • The feedstock for cellulose to ethanol is varied
      • Each type of feedstock has a unique characteristic
      • POET is focusing on:
        • Corn Starch
        • Corn Fiber
        • Corn Stover and Cobs
    5.  
    6. How Ethanol is Made
    7. We will overcome these challenges, we have done so before…
    8. The Evolution of Bio-Refining and
    9. POET Research and Development
      • POET Research Center, Inc
        • Private Research Plant
      • New protected processes
        • BPX, B-F RAC
      • Strategic Alliances
        • Enzyme, process equipment and biotech companies
        • POET / DOE Joint Venture
      • Industry Leadership
    10. POET Research Center, Inc
    11. Project LIBERTY
      • Project LIBERTY deliverables:
        • 11% more ethanol from a bushel of corn
        • 27% more ethanol from an acre of corn
        • 83% less fossil fuel consumption
        • 24% less water consumption
    12. POET into the Future
      • Where do we go from here:
      • Continue to lead cellulose to ethanol development
        • Commercially viable cellulose to ethanol
        • Technology development of process and biomass
      • Continue to grow domestic ethanol production
        • Domestic development and construction
      • Continue to build relationships internationally
        • Interested in technology and equipment to improve efficiencies
