Cellulosic Hydrocarbon Fuels from IH2 Technology

The document discusses IH2 technology, which uses catalysts, hydrogen and heat to convert biomass like wood, crop residues, and algae into high purity hydrocarbon fuels. The IH2 process is more efficient than natural processes, taking only minutes to convert biomass versus millions of years. It can integrate with existing refineries and produce gasoline and diesel that meet fuel standards. The process is nearly carbon neutral, flexible to different feedstocks, has attractive economics, and recovers over 70% of the bioenergy in the biomass. It has evolved through generations of catalyst improvements to optimize fuel production.

- 6. What is the IH2 Process? • The IH2 process uses catalysts, hydrogen and heat to cost-effectively convert a wide variety of biomass directly into high purity hydrocarbon ―drop in‖ fuels (i.e. B100) and/or high quality blend stock (e.g. >B50) • The IH2 process takes only minutes to convert biomass to hydrocarbons—Nature requires millions of years… • The IH2 process can be integrated into existing refinery, mill, ethanol plant, agricultural, or recycling operations to create higher value from biomass than afforded by heat and electrical power sales (NA basis) • The IH2 process is NOT Gasification/Fischer Tropsch 3/20/2013 6

Transformative Differentiators • Fungible, high purity hydrocarbon fuel and/or blend stock products - Gasoline produced from wood passes ASTM specs (i.e. B100) for economy & mid octane - Diesel produced from wood too aromatic, currently ~B50, target is to get to B100 - Diesel produced from whole algae likely B100 (in testing) • Nearly carbon neutral* • Feedstock flexible with high product yields (67-157 US gallons/US ton) • Attractive economics (~ $2/gal for 500 dry MT/day wood feed USGC pricing) - Low capex (only 4 major process steps, low pressure, non corrosive) - Low opex (predominated by feedstock) • Exothermic process with 72% - 86% bioenergy recovery (wood) • No engineering miracles required!
