Edeniq’s Newest Partnership:Global Bio-chem Technologies

China Opportunity GBT is leading producer of chemicals from

sugars >30 million MT/yr of corn stover in Jilin

Province $5 billion opportunity Government supportive

GBT constructing a 50,000 MT/yr cellulosic sugars plant

Integration of Edeniq technology into GBT 50,000 MT/yr plant

Commercialize plants for captive GBT demand

Other biochemicals and biofuels through partners

Edeniq – GBT: Lowest Cost Corn Stover to Sugars Process
