Established requirement for low carbon fuel cannot be met by existing resources
Each of British Columbia (“BC”) and California has mandated 10% carbon intensity reductions by 2020 (vs. 2010 baseline)
BFE has targeted a growth segment in an otherwise mature industry, and has requisite experience and capability to deliver
BFE gasoline is expected to have a carbon intensity of at most ~78 gCO2e / MJ, offering a ~10% improvement relative to
conventional gasoline at 87.3 gCO2e / MJ; and BFE has identified opportunities to reduce its carbon intensity even further
BFE gasoline would be utilized as a needed part of a portfolio of solutions to meet the low carbon fuel standard, either as a
finished and fully fungible fuel, or working in complement to existing partial solutions such as ethanol and biodiesel
We competitively produce gasoline at a margin that provides a return to investors without including ancillary value
Use of proven, commercialized and familiar technologies in a verified process flow sheet minimizes technical risk
Business model ensures low cash costs, accesses the arbitrage between natural gas and refined product prices and
achieves market access by providing a solution to (as opposed to competing with) industry incumbents
Core economics do not consider value upside provided to industry incumbents or longer-term replacement of fossil fuels
We have social licence with the communities, First Nations, local and provincial governments, and with our supply
partners to build our enterprise
Strong, demonstrated local support from communities and key stakeholders, which is critical to doing business in BC
We have a carbon reduction capability that is flexible and can be increased as the market / requirements evolve
Key technology and access to BC Hydro’s predominantly renewable electricity provides unique carbon intensity reductions
Process designed to supply low carbon gasoline from the outset, with ability to further reduce carbon intensity and introduce
greater renewable component (e.g. hydrogen from electrolysis) as market demand and/or economics dictate
Process also provides opportunity to recover and sell intermediate products should market conditions be attractive
Our team is experienced and possesses a skill set ideally suited to this enterprise
Extensive experience developing new businesses; and financing, constructing, and operating major capital projects
Juergen Puetter (Chairman & CEO) has demonstrated success converting innovative concepts into successful businesses:
Bionaire (air purification), Hydroxyl (water purification), and Aeolis Wind (wind power)
Michael Macdonald (President) and Dr. Ron Britton (Chief Technology Officer) have deep executive experience from
Methanex – initial step in BFE’s process is production of methanol from natural gas
Michael Macdonald also led development and implementation of the US$1 billion EMethanex project (commissioned
2011) in Egypt for Methanex and was involved in the Synfuel gas-to-methanol-to-gasoline project
Glenn Kowalsky (VP, Engineering) has over 20 years of oil and gas experience and is an accomplished facilities developer

Investment Highlights
US$55 million Private Placement Equity Offering
Opportunity Overview
Blue Fuel Energy Corporation (“BFE”) is a Sidney, BC-based company that is developing Sundance, a clean fuels project to
produce low carbon intensity gasoline from natural gas and renewable electricity approx. 20 km east of Chetwynd, BC
BFE has selected technologies to minimize carbon intensity today and allow a transition away from fossil fuels in the future
BFE is currently raising $55 million of equity funding to complete the engineering phases and requisite commercial and
project financing arrangements to allow it to reach a Final Investment Decision as early as the end of 2016
Design and construction is expected to take 36 months after achieving the final investment decision
Sundance would produce ~240 million gallons of gasoline annually (~20% of BC demand) from ~135 MMcf/d of natural gas

British Columbia
California
(1) In BC, legislated carbon penalties for failing to achieve carbon intensity targets are C$200 per tonne of emissions above target; and in the EU, €470 per tonne
(2) Even if ethanol or biodiesel blend limits were increased, the “blend wall” prevents these products from delivering the requisite carbon intensity reduction
The BC market represents approximately 4.7 million gallons of fuel
sales per day
In 2008, the Province of British Columbia enacted the Renewable and
Low Carbon Fuel Requirements Regulation to reduce carbon intensity
and increase renewable content in transportation fuels
Part 2 of Regulation outlines renewable content required in
transportation fuels
Part 3 of Regulation sets guideline for 10% reduction in carbon
intensity of transportation fuels by 2020 (vs. a 2010 baseline)
Deficiencies to the annual reduction targets will be penalized at the rate
of C$200 per tonne of CO2 equivalent emissions
The California market represents approximately 47.8 million gallons of
fuel sales per day
In 2007, California adopted the first low carbon fuel standard mandate
with specific targets effective January 2011
Requires that all fuels sold in California have 10% lower carbon
intensity by 2020 (vs. a 2010 baseline)
Deficiencies to the annual reduction target must be covered through the
purchase of offsetting carbon credits
Value of carbon credits are determined via market-based approach

Methanol-to-Gasoline Production Overview
At its core, Blue Fuel’s project converts natural gas into vehicle-ready gasoline or gasoline blendstock
The Blue Fuel process starts by converting natural gas, water and oxygen to a mixture of hydrogen and carbon oxides,
which are subsequently converted to crude methanol
At the scale selected, the preliminary engineering for the Gas-to-Methanol process requires ~135 MMcf/d of natural gas
Johnson Matthey: BFE has a licence letter of intent under discussion with Johnson Matthey for Gas-to-Methanol
production components; Johnson Matthey is a global leader in sustainable technologies (>£3 billion in annual sales)
The methanol mixture is subsequently processed to produce either a gasoline blendstock or finished gasoline
Engineering studies show the Methanol-to-Gasoline process will yield ~16,000 bpd of gasoline and ~3,000 bpd of LPG
ExxonMobil: BFE is in discussions with ExxonMobil to license Methanol-to-Gasoline production components
The core process consumes ~9 Mcf per barrel of gasoline produced, ~100 MW/h of electricity and ~2,500 tpd of oxygen
