Some Organizations That Have Supported Previous Editions of the Cellulosic Biofuels Summit

This November, at the 5th Annual Cellulosic Biofuels Summit, all the communities in the cellulosic biofuels value chain—leaders from the feedstock, industrial biotech, biofuel technology, plant developers, finance, oil and transportation communities—will return to Washington, D.C. to advance the development of the nation’s cellulosic biofuels industry. This major industry-building event has established itself as the place where the industry convenes to strategize their goal of achieving the commercial production of cellulosic biofuels.

The 2010 Summit is an essential one as the industry has reached a critical stage in its history. After enormous work and great progress, the industry must achieve the transition to commercial scale production in order to successfully continue and thrive.

This year, the Summit will be dedicated to taking biofuels to the next level by first focusing on the policy, regulatory, and financial solutions that will enable industry scale up, and then by investigating the pathways and strategies for transitioning to the biorefineries of the future.

Building a new cellulosic biofuels industry on such a vast scale will require continued progress along the value chain and establishing productive partnerships will be an essential feature of industry success. The Summit has been a prime networking venue and will continue to provide a rich opportunity for offline discussions, where everyone has the advantage to network with all the groups in the value chain and establish beneficial relationships.

Welcome and Introduction by the Forum ChairGraham Noyes, Of Counsel, STOEL RIVES, LLP

Special Briefing: DOE Loan Guarantee Program: An Update on its OperationThe DOE Loan Guarantee Program is key to the financing strategies of many cellulosic biofuels plant developers. Yet, to-date, the Program has not approved a loan for a cellulosic biofuels plant. This briefing will provide insight into the operation of the program and its weighing of cellulosic biofuels applications with the goal of helping the industry understand what it takes to submit a successful application.

What is the DOE Loan Guarantee Loan Program’s experience with processing cellulosic »biofuels applications?What can the industry learn from this experience? »What do applicants need to know, anticipate and address to increase their chances of obtaining an »approval? What key project characteristics need to be in place?How long should they expect the process to take? »Are changes in the Program’s scoring system anticipated? If so, through what process will those »changes be made?

Jonathan Silver, Executive Director, Loan Guarantee Program, U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Special Briefing: USDA Financial Assistance Programs for BiofuelsSecretary Vilsack has said that USDA Rural Development is the primary agency charged with commercialization of the advanced biofuels industry and stated that the USDA may have to take bigger chances with its business loan guarantees. The Department is administering its assistance to the industry through the Biorefinery Assistance Program and the Bioenergy Program for Advanced Biofuels. This briefing will provide the latest information about these programs and their operations—again with the goal of helping the industry understand what it takes to submit a successful application.

How will the weighing of loan guarantee applications under the Biorefinery Assistance Program differ »from the DOE Loan Guarantee Program?What do applicants need to know, anticipate and address to increase their chances of obtaining an »approval? What key project characteristics need to be in place?What are the key elements needed to qualify under the Bioenergy Program for Advanced Biofuels? »How long should they expect the process to take? »

Chris Cassidy, Acting Branch Chief, Energy, U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE RURAL DEVELOPMENT - ENERGY

Dual Presentation: Accessing the Capital Markets to Fund Loans Under the Biorefinery Assistance Loan Guarantee ProgramUnder its Biorefinery Assistance Loan Guarantee Program, USDA guarantees only a percentage of a project loan. It requires private lenders to fund the loan and apply to USDA for a guarantee of a percentage of that loan. Because of commercial banks’ risk aversion to emerging technologies, biofuels project developers have not been able to successfully access the program. The capital markets may be able to provide a solution. This session will explore the new and innovative financing structures, including bond financings, which are being evaluated by USDA and the financial community.

What changes in program regulations are being considered to accommodate traditional bond »financing structures?How would these new structures work? »What is the timeline for implementation? »What indications are there that the capital markets have a real appetite for the un-guaranteed portion »of first of kind commercial scale biofuels projects?Are there opportunities for access to the capital markets not connected with the loan »guarantee program?What would it cost to finance through the capital markets and what are the elements of those costs? »

John May, Managing Director, STERN BROTHERS & CO.Mark J. Riedy, Partner, MINTZ LEVIN & General Counsel,

AMERICAN COUNCIL ON RENEWABLE ENERGY (ACORE)

Managing Feedstock and Offtake RiskThe recent financial woes of the biodiesel and corn ethanol industries have highlighted the importance of managing feedstock and offtake risks. Conscious that traditional project finance requires both feedstock supply contracts and an offtake agreement, the DOE and USDA are focusing on these risks in their loan guarantee application evaluations. This panel will take a close look at the real nature of these risks in the context of commercial scale biofuels projects and explore solutions for managing them.

How do feedstock risks differ between crop residues, energy crops, woody biomass and MSW? »Between supply and price risks?What is needed to make feedstock supply agreements financable? »

Term of contract »Allocating financial risks »Creditworthiness of suppliers »Performance guarantees »Other factors »

Are financable supply agreements needed or are there other acceptable alternatives for managing »supply risks?Are offtake agreements essential to make commercial scale biofuel plants financable or does the RFS »provide enough guarantee that there will be a market for every gallon produced?Assuming that the RFS will assure a market, how should/could price volatility be managed? »Will any party sign an offtake agreement in today’s marketplace? »

Special Briefing: Financing Renewable Energy Crops: The Biomass Crop Assistance Program (BCAP)The Biomass Crop Assistance Program is designed to ensure that a sufficiently large base of new, nonfood, nonfeed biomass crops can supply future demand for renewable energy consumption by reducing the financial risks to suppliers. BCAP expires in 2012, and according to the USDA, most biomass conversion facilities need to be in the pipeline now in order to qualify for BCAP benefits. Can this program really deliver benefits to the current pipeline of commercial scale cellulosic biofuel plants seeking financing? This briefing will address this question and discuss the relevance of the program to the cellulosic biofuels industry.

Jonathan Coppess, Administrator – Farm Service Agency, U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Presentation: Other Financing SourcesSustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) is a not-for-profit foundation that finances and supports the development and demonstration of clean technologies via funds aimed at the development and demonstration of innovative technology solutions. Currently, their $500 million NextGen Biofuels Funds supports the establishment of first-of-kind large demonstration-scale facilities for the production of next-generation renewable fuels.

Guy Ouimet, P. Eng. MBA, Senior Advisor, SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT TECHNOLOGY CANADA’S NEXT GENERATION BIOFUELS FUND

The Path ForwardThe cellulosic biofuels industry has reached a critical stage in its history and must figure out how to obtain the financing it needs to enable the industry to survive and thrive. So, what is the path forward? This panel will explore the options for the future, highlighting where they see the potential for workarounds, innovative structures, and other opportunities for providing solutions to the financing puzzle.

Government financing »What role is the variety of current government financing programs likely to play? »Are there opportunities to use these programs in different ways to attract private capital? »Are changes to these programs needed? Are they politically possible? »

Private financing »How much of the current project financing difficulties are attributable to financial market »conditions and how much to problems with cellulosic biofuels business models and associated market, technology, and feedstock risks?What, if any, changes in government policy would draw private financing into the industry? »Changes in the RFS? An investment tax credit? Changes in the rules of the loan guarantee programs?Would more stability/certainty in government policy and regulation draw private capital to »the industry?Would more transparency in capital costs, operating costs and yield comfort private investors »and lenders?Is there any combination of factors that will draw financial institutions into the industry? »Will the industry need to be financed by strategic investors? If so, what changes are needed »to their investment?

Opportunities for innovative structuring and other solutions »Accessing the capital markets »Utilizing BCAP to offset project equity »

The Finance & Investment Forum

Monday, November 15th, 2010The cellulosic biofuels industry has matured to the stage where it is ready to move to commercialization. The only thing preventing it from doing so is financing, which has become the industry’s number one challenge. The Forum is designed to bring a laser-beam focus on this critical industry issue. It will bring together the members of the cellulosic biofuels industry and the financial community with the key representatives from the government’s funding programs to:

Develop a more complete understanding of the financing challenge facing the industry »Obtain a deeper insight into the workings of government funding programs »Explore potential workarounds, innovative structures, and other opportunities for providing solutions to the financing puzzle »Consider changes in policy, legislation, and financing strategies that may be needed to move the industry forward »

Creating a Policy Framework That Will Enable Biofuels & Biorefinery CommercializationThe cellulosic biofuels industry stands at a crossroads. After successfully moving from technology development to the construction and operation of demonstration and pilot plants, the industry is now ready to take the final step of launching a fleet of commercial scale plants. Yet, it is becoming more and more apparent how difficult it will be to achieve this final step under the current regulatory environment. The vital question facing the industry and the nation is what policy and regulatory framework needs to be put in place in order for the nation to meet its biofuels goals. The Summit’s opening panel will discuss the key hurdles preventing commercialization and the pieces of policy and regulation that will enable the cellulosic biofuels industry to move forward over the coming year.

What are the key commercialization challenges that the industry faces that require »changes to policy and regulation?What policies and regulations will provide the framework to address »these challenges?

RFS2—is it structured in a way that will lead to successful commercialization? If »not, what changes are needed?What carbon policies and regulations make sense? »What financial support and financial incentives will be required? How should »they be structured?

How much will these policies and regulations cost? What risks do they require the »government to assume? What role should government take in commercialization? What policies and regulations are needed to obtain the financial community’s »support of the industry?How will the changing tax incentives impact cellulosic biofuels projects? »What is the support in Congress for workable regulatory regime? What impact will »the elections have on the prospects for making the required changes?Is it possible to achieve the policy stability that investor are looking for? What are »the prospects of locking in an incentive structure for the long-term?

Breaking into Alternative MarketsThe integrated biorefinery opens up a wide variety of options to produce not only biofuels, but also other high margin products. Yet, beyond the question of what products can be produced by a specific biorefinery design, is the equally important question of what is the realistic potential of these products to successfully and profitably penetrate their respective markets. Only by recognizing and tackling the many challenges of serving alternative markets can biorefiners be comfortable that they have a high-quality business plan. To do this, biorefiners will need to roll up their sleeves and do some serious business development work. This session will explore some the issues they will need to address when evaluating the potential of alternative markets:

What are the markets? »What are the sizes of these markets? »How do you find them? »How do you break into them? »

Is there an international market? »What distribution channels need to be established? »For the technology needed to serve these markets, what does it cost and how does it »compete with the products that are already out there?Does this business model have to be subsidized and what role does government »have to play to get this going?

Thursday, November 18th, 2010As the cellulosic biofuels industry stands on the verge of moving to commercial scale production, securing the feedstock supply chain (and its logistics) to meet commercial scale demand is critical to industry success. The Forum provides an excellent opportunity for attendees not only to hear about the latest developments taking place to set up supply chains, but also the work being done to drive down the costs and improve the efficiency in feedstock logistics. The focus will be on the feedstocks that will be used by the first generation of new cellulosic biofuel projects: crop residues, energy crops and woody biomass. The goal of the Forum is to report on the experience on the ground so that that the industry can profit by the valuable lessons to be learned and progress being made in this critical part of the cellulosic biofuels supply chain.
