Green Fuels Founded 2003

Design, manufacture and supply technology for distributed-scale biodiesel production

Installed capacity of over 400 million litres per year

Equipment in over 50 countries on 5 continents

Patents in processing technology & bio-aviation fuel

Royal Warrant of Appointment

Page 3: Www.greenfuels.co.uk   ‘From Royal Trains to Jet planes’ James Hygate Founder & CEO

Distributed-scale approach Locate facility close to source of supply

Relatively low capital cost, rapid payback

Reduces impact of transport on cost and carbon budget

Consistent high quality fuel

Builds community involvement

Improves traceability in feedstock-to-fuel cycle

Ideal for emerging markets, islands, cities and closed loop recycling

20,000 lpd FuelMatic GSX 20 being installed for diesel co-operative in Massachusetts

Closed-loop recycling of waste oil into fuel for logistics fleet at distribution centre for McDonald’s in Dubai, UAE

Page 4: Www.greenfuels.co.uk   ‘From Royal Trains to Jet planes’ James Hygate Founder & CEO

Technology Scaled for distributed, rapid-deployment and

mobile applications: Standardised, factory built and tested

Skid mounted and containerised options

Touch screen PLC controlled with remote access

Use proven transesterification method with patented separation technology (US 8,562,841)

No water requirement, can operate off-grid

Commercially proven globally with variety of feedstocks

Micro onsite installations from 50 litres per day

Commercial installations from 1,000 litres/day to 50,000 litres/day

Fuel used in a variety of applications….

Case study: Closed loop recycling Co-locating at DC’s the refineries are located

at the oil well and point of use - maximising margin and demonstrable carbon savings

McDonald’s currently recycle 12.5 million gallons of used cooking oil per year in the USA alone

Co-location minimises:- collection, consolidation and brokerage costs - enabling dramatic margin increase

Primary driver is the demonstrable LC CO2 saving over using fossil fuel

But in most locations its also cheaper than traditional fuel sources.

Case study: diesel-electric locomotive

Royal Train – used by UK Royal Family for official duties

Hauled by Class 67 diesel-electric locomotives with 1.9MW output

Running on 100% Green Fuels-supplied biodiesel since 2007

Anecdotal report of improved fuel economy with biodiesel vs. mineral diesel

Page 7: Www.greenfuels.co.uk   ‘From Royal Trains to Jet planes’ James Hygate Founder & CEO

Case study: Combined Heat and Power

Provides model for future decentralised production of aviation biofuel

Case study: Rural locations

Page 9: Www.greenfuels.co.uk   ‘From Royal Trains to Jet planes’ James Hygate Founder & CEO

Case study: BioJet 1 US subsidiary provided the biodiesel for ‘Green Flight’, the world’s first B100 jet aircraft

flight

The plane was an Czechoslovakian L29 Delfin jet fighter / trainer from the early 1960s

The flight was performed at the Stead air field in Reno, Nevada on October 5, 2007

Started our research into bio-aviation fuels…..

Page 10: Www.greenfuels.co.uk   ‘From Royal Trains to Jet planes’ James Hygate Founder & CEO

The aviation biofuel market

Global jet fuel demand 6 MBPD by 2020 = $262bn

IATA: 6% of fuel to be alternative by 2020

EU: 600 MGPY of aviation biofuel by 2020

USA: 1,500 MGPY by 2020

Addressable global market - $15B by 2020

MBPD, million barrels per day; MGPY, million (US) gallons per year

Jet biofuel patent Based on hydro-processed fatty acid esters HEFA

Drop-in biofuel so no adaptation to infrastructure or aircraft

US Patent 8,715,374 Issued May 6th 2014

Granted claims cover fuel composition

Fuel composition is wide ranging and encompasses hydroprocessed FAME

Page 12: Www.greenfuels.co.uk   ‘From Royal Trains to Jet planes’ James Hygate Founder & CEO

Why Green Fuels Biojet?

Low feedstock dependency

Close to market, ASTM approved and applicable at any scale

FAME input is free from glycerine contamination, reducing the energy required to the process oil.

Freeze separating the fractions allows selection of the optimum fraction of FAME for onward processing into jet fuel and other high value products.

Removes components responsible for low-temperature gelling as well as for oxidative instability.

The technology can be retrofitted to existing biodiesel facilities that have a secure feedstock supply

By co-locating at exiting biodiesel facilities we minimise permitting time and costs

Opportunities in Brazil

Today bioenergy represents around 30% of the Brazilian energy makeup

Great potential for the decentralised processing of used cooking oil into biodiesel

Ethanol mills looking at biodiesel production to fuel farming operations

Mining companies looking at biodiesel production for internal use

Huge opportunity for the production and use of bio-aviation fuels as outlined in ‘Flightpath to aviation biofuels in Brazil’
