Source: IEA, 2008

Global energy demand is expected to grow at CAGR 1.6%.

–Primary Energy diversity will become increasingly important over this period with coal, natural gas & renewables playing bigger roles.

Fossil fuels are expected to supply 83% of energy and 95% of liquid transportation needsBiofuels are expected to grow at 8-12%/year to ~2.0 MBPD

Macromarket Summary: Through 2015

Biofuels: A Quickly Changing Landscape

All biofuels are goodMore, fasterNo criteria to measure impact of adopting biofuelsAvailability of “inexpensive” bio feedstocksGovernment mandates and incentives favor ethanol and biodiesel

Not all biofuels are goodConcern for food chain impact & competition for land/waterMeasured biofuel adoptionUtilization of LCA analysis to “qualify”: link to GHG, energy, sustainabilityBio feedstocks tracking energy pricesGovernment mandates/ incentives increasingly technology neutralEmphasis on “real”biofuels

2007

Emphasis on life cycle analysis as a way of measuring “sustainability”Ensure technology is feedstock flexibleFocus on 2nd

generation technologiesCreate partnerships between feedstock suppliers and fuel producers

Increasing Awareness of Potential Impact

UOP Position

2009Credit Crisis: Stimulus focused on Green Tech

Page 7: Biofuels: Unlocking the Potential · & Desalting Crude Oil Latest Refining Technology Development & Licensing Butane-Butylene Alcohol Isobutane Butane Alkylation Alkylate Flue Gas

“Other” Oils: Camelina, Jatropha, Halophytes

Our Biofuels Vision• Produce real “drop-in” fuels instead of fuel additives/blends• Leverage existing refining/ transportation infrastructure to lower capital

costs, minimize value chain disruptions, and reduce investment risk• Focus on path toward second generation feedstocks

Achieving SustainabilityRenewables are going to make up an increasing share of the future fuels pool– Multitude of bioprocessing approaches possible– Fungible biofuels are here– Essential to overlay sustainability criteria

Proven technology available today can efficiently convert natural oils to green diesel and green jet fuel and residual biomass to power– Wide spread implementation requires creation of a credible

supply chain– Availability of sustainable feedstocks is a key enabler– Market pull required to accelerate implementation

Important to promote technology neutral and performance based standards and directives to avoid standardization on old technology
