MARKET POSITION – LOW CARBON FUEL
  Business Model is Proving to be the RIGHT Model for Biofuels:
     o Market is Moving to “Low Carbon Fuels”
     o US EPA, CARB and WA Dept of Ecology and EU all agree that
         RCO biodiesel is one of the lowest carbon fuels made

WHY LOW CARBON FUEL IS IMPORTANT
December 2009: EPA announces it
will regulate CO2

Transportation is…
    o The largest source of CO2,
       which is the most prevalent
       GHG
    o Accounts for 29% of total
       U.S. GHG emissions
   o   Fastest-growing source of
       U.S. GHGs, accounting for
       47 percent of the net
       increase since 1990
