OUTLINE• Who is Byogy

• Byogy Technology

• The Aviation Industry – Why Alternative Fuels

• ASTM Update

• Global Supply Chain

Byogy, Inc. is in the final stages of commercializing a highly efficient, patent pending, proven process for converting regular ethanol into a 100% replacement for renewable jet fuel, gasoline and diesel fuel.

• Formed in 2006 in California;

• Core IP stems from Texas A&M; Invented over 12 years ago;

• Non-Traditional Funding : No VC or PE (No Press Until Ready);

• Specialized team with chemical and petroleum experience (not bio-based).

Who is Byogy

• Byogy is NOT an alcohol/ethanol producer;

Who is Byogy

• Byogy invented a unique process that converts ethanol to a 100% drop-in replacement for petroleum derived fuels;

• Byogy’s fuels do NOT require change to ANY infrastructure;

• Byogy does not rely on “magic bugs” or special enzymes;

• All steps are currently used in commercial scale in the petrochemical industry;

• The process does not require external hydrogen and hydro- processing like FT, HEFA, and competing ATJ butanol producers.

• Catalytic process that is capital efficient and scalable;

Aviation is the backbone of international trade and businessA key driver of every business, industry, technology, and national defense.

“THE PHYSICAL INTERNET”

The raw materials and technologies necessary to make alternative jet fuels at COMPETTITIVE PRICES will ALWAYS be in high long-term demand over the production of bio-chemicals, lotions, or plastics.

Why Alternative Jet Fuel

2 billion passengers fly per year;32 million jobs associated with aviation sector;

8% World Gross Domestic Product;2% of Global CO2 emissions (with no choice).

Why Alternative Jet Fuel

• Fuel is the biggest operating cost for the aviation industry;• Refining costs to produce jet fuel from a barrel of oil are

exponential;

• The fluctuating price of crude makes it difficult to budget;

• Biofuels can reduce airline’s exposure to this fuel cost volatility by offering long term stable pricing and alternative sourcing.

• Annex 1: GTL - Synthetic Paraffinic Kerosene (“SPK”) Process: Fischer-Tropsch – Hydrogen Treatment; Feedstock: Coal, Natural Gas, Biomass; Certification: Certified September 2009.

• Annex 2: Hydro-Treated Renewable Jet (HEFA aka “HRJ”) Process: Hydrogen Treatment of Renewable oils (similar to GTL); Feedstock: Canola, Camelina, Algae, Jatropha, animal fats etc.; Certification: June 30, 2011.

ASTM UPDATE

BYOGY Co-CHAIRS THE ATJ TASK FORCE

• Annex 3: Alcohol To Jet with Aromatics(“ATJ-A”) Process: Fermentation of sugar to alcohols, catalytic conversion of alcohols to

fuel ; Feedstock: Sugar Cane, Corn, Energy Crops, Woody Biomass, etc.; Certification: Q4 2013.
