Biofuels: A Quickly Changing Landscape
� All biofuels are good
� More, faster
� No criteria to measure impact of adopting biofuels
� Availability of “inexpensive” bio feedstocks
� Government mandates and incentives favor ethanol and biodiesel
� Not all biofuels are good
� Measured biofueladoption
� Utilization of LCA analysis to “qualify”: link to GHG, energy, sustainability
� Bio feedstocks tracking energy prices
� Government mandates and incentives increasingly technology neutral
� Emphasis on “real”biofuels
2007
� Emphasis on life cycle analysis as a way of measuring “sustainability”
� Ensure technology is feedstock flexible
� Focus on 2 nd
generation technologies
� Create partnerships between feedstock suppliers and fuel producers
Increasing Awareness of Impact
2008 UOP Position
UOP 5166-03
UOP Renewables Vision• Building on UOP technology and expertise• Produce real fuels instead of fuel additives/blends• Leverage existing refining, transportation, energy, biomass handling
infrastructure to lower capital costs, minimize val ue chain disruptions, and reduce investment risk.
• Focus on path toward second generation feedstocks & chemicals

Ecofining Feed Source OptionsFlexibility
� Ecofining is applicable to a wide variety of feed-stocks (vegetable & animal)
� Works with 2 nd generation feed-stocks such as algae and inedible oils such as jatropha
Processability
� More saturated feed-stocks improve economics
� Green diesel product properties are almost independent of feed-stock source

Summary� Renewables are going to make up an increasing
share of the future fuels pool
– Multitude of bioprocessing approaches possible
– Fungible biofuels are here
� First generation biofuels, though raw material limi ted, are an important first step to creating a biofuels infr astructure
� Second generation feedstocks, cellulosic waste and algal oils, have the potential to make significant contri butions
� Envergent Technologies: – Pyrolysis Oil Renewable Energy technology available
today– Developing technology for 2 nd Generation green fuels
� Algal oils successfully converted to specification green fuels in UOP Labs
