U.S. Biodiesel Industry UpdateGlobal Biodiesel CongressSeptember 22-23, 2010Sao Paulo, Brazil
National Biodiesel Board• Represents the biodiesel industry as
the coordinating body for research and development in the US.
• Founded in 1992 by soybean commodity groups.
• NBB’s membership is comprised of state, national, and international feedstock and feedstock processor organizations, biodiesel suppliers, fuel marketers and distributors, and technology providers.• More than 280 members• Headquartered in Jefferson City, MO• Office also in Washington, DC

Federal Landscape
9
Policy Remains Critical
• Federal Policy remains an effective catalyst for the biodiesel industry• Biodiesel Blenders Tax Credit• Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS2)
9
Biodiesel Tax Credit
• Immediate Priority – Retroactive Extension of Biodiesel Tax Incentive
• Long-term Industry Goal — Multi-Year Extension
• Barriers• PAYGO/Costs
• Process/Limited Legislative Calendar
• Policy Concerns/Opposition
Renewable Fuel Standard(RFS-2)• Energy Independence and Security Act
of 2007 signed by the President on December 19, 2007• Increased RFS to to 36 billion gallons by
2022.
• Within the RFS, created a minimum use requirement for “biomass-based diesel” which is a technology neutral classification, and includes biodiesel • Minimum usage requirements of 500
million gallons of biodiesel in 2009 up to 1 billion gallons in 2012.
RFS-2 Requirements
EPA Definitions40 CFR 80.1401
Advanced Biofuel means renewable fuel, other than ethanol derived from cornstarch, has lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions that are at least 50 percent less than baseline lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions.
Renewable Fuel (i) fuel that is produced from renewable biomass.
Renewable Biomass
(1)Planted crops and crop residue harvested from existing agricultural land cleared or cultivated prior to December 19, 2007 and that was nonforested and either actively managed or fallow on December 19, 2007.
(3) Animal waste material and animal byproducts
(6) Algae
(7) Separated yard waste or food waste, including recycled cooking and trap grease…
EPA Definition
Renewable Biomass for Biodiesel:Soybean oil
Corn oil from ethanol plants
Animal fats
Recycled grease
Waste grease
Algae
Canola** pending adoption of lifecycle analysis
Legal Challenges
• Challenge 1 – API and NPRA (March 29th,, 2010)• 2009/10 Combined Biomass-Based Diesel
Volume Requirements
• Overall Fairness of Implementing 2010 Volumes
• Challenge II - Clean Air Task Force (Friends of the Earth) (May 25th, 2010)• Challenging the LCA Assessment Used by EPA
• Challenging the Aggregate Compliance Approach
NBB has Joined EPA as an Intervener for Both Challenges
Continued Effort
• Future Volume Obligations• Future Discussions on LCA and
ILUC• Additional Feedstock Pathways

Looking Forward
Issues
• Food and Fuel Issues
• Market Opportunities with Bioheat
• National Infrastructure
• Consumer Confidence
Co-products of Food Production
• Protein meal for livestock feed is the primary driver for soybean production
• Better utilization of the oil coproduct can reduce the price of the protein meal.
Food Supply Security
•In 2008, 360 million gallons of biodiesel from soybeans co-produced enough soybean meal for the equivalent of 110 billion rations of protein for the hungry.
•In 2009, 247 million gallons of biodiesel from soybeans co-produced enough meal for the equivalent of 72 billion rations of protein.
Oilheat Markets, Presents
Opportunity
• In September 2009, the National Oilheat Research Alliance declared a new vision for the Oilheat industry.
• By July 2010, all heating oil will be blended with biodiesel to insure that at least 2% of the fuel is renewable.
140,000,000 gallons.
• By 2030 all Oilheat will be ULSD with a 15% inclusion of biodiesel.
• By 2050 all Oilheat will be B100 biodiesel.
National Distribution Capabilities
Available through direct shipment from over 1,459 petroleum distributors nationwide
Approximately 1,321 retail filling stations nationwide, 200 locations are semi-truck accessible
Some 1200 terminals cover the U.S. landscape, 158 handle biodiesel nationwide, 73 automated for distribution
Consumer Confidence (Fuel Quality and BQ-9000)• A voluntary quality system
certification program for the North American biodiesel industry
• Applies internationally accepted quality management principles
• Incorporates fuel specifications
• Uses a series of audits to verify adherence to the company’s own quality management system
Who and What are Certified
• Three certifications possible for companies:• BQ-9000 Producer
• BQ-9000 Marketer
• BQ-9000 Laboratory (March 31, 2009)
BQ-9000 Status
• Over 70% of the biodiesel produced in 2009 was by a BQ-9000 accredited producer
• Currently have:• 40 BQ-9000 Producers
• 19 BQ-9000 Marketers
• 1 BQ-9000 Lab (Iowa Central)
• Large refiners (i.e. RFS2 obligated parties) are making
BQ-9000 a pre-condition of purchase
• OEM’s are requiring BQ-9000 for warranty support
