Global challenges
THE ERA OF FOSSIL FUELS IS RUNNING OUT
…and the bio-based economy is taking-off
Available today: next-generation biofuels
Underutilized agriculture
EU’s agricultural residues presents a unique opportunity for the agricultural sector to:
• Innovate using available industrial biotech solutions;
• Invest in tomorrow’s rural infrastructure of biorefineries;
• Reduce GHG emissions, job creation and enhance energy security;
• Start the transformation towards a competitive bio-based economy

Biorefinery concept
• Bio-innovation: from renewables to consumer and industrial markets
Focus on the bio-based economy
OECD:Biotech excl. biofuels can contribute more than 2,7 of GDP by 2030
World Economic Forum:Revenue potential USD230 billions by 2020
WWF:Industrial biotechnology can save 1-2.5 bn tonnes CO2 by 2030
NOVOZYMES PRESENTATION9 3/21/2011
WWF: Four industrial biotech cornerstones provide up to 2.5 billion tons of CO2 reductions
NOVOZYMES PRESENTATION10 3/21/2011
Industrial biotechnology results in more efficient use of natural resources and reduced energy consumption
Potential CO2 savings by year 2030:
204 million tons
Cornerstone 1: Improved efficiency
NOVOZYMES PRESENTATION11 3/21/2011
• Rapid deployment of next-generation biofuels has potential to deliver about 1 billion tons of emission reductions by 2030
Biofuels help to develop the technologies and infra- structures that establish a stronger market for bio-based materials Potential CO2 savings by year 2030:
1,024 million tons
Cornerstone 2: Switching to biofuels
Next-generation ethanol a golden opportunity for Europe
• Resource: 25% of the available agricultural residues
• Energy security: Replace 62% of gasoline consumption by 2020
• Jobs: Up to 1 million jobs, mainly non- outsourcable jobs in rural areas
• Growth: revenues of €31bn instead of oil import of €49bn
• Climate: reduce road transport GHG emission by 16%
Next-generation ethanol & biochemicals: What’s in it for Europe
NOVOZYMES PRESENTATION13 3/21/2011
Substitution of petrochemicals with bio-based processes and ingrediences can produce significant GHG emission reductions
Biorefineries can produce a broad range of end roducts and create production systems that dramatically reduce waste
Potential CO2 savings by year 2030:
668 million tons
Cornerstone 3: Replacing petrochemicals with bio-based materials

Future perspectives and deployment – The way forward will be in phases
Renewable chemicals are in their infancy
15
• Renewable chemicals have to compete on price and performance
• No subsidies
• New infrastructure
