Recap of CORE BioFuel

CORE’s mission: develop chemical products from biomass feedstock without fossil fuels

Our first project will develop a patent-pending process to produce carbon neutral 92 octane gasoline from wood feedstock

Gasoline from wood is a well-timed solution:

need to reduce fossil carbon emissions;

crude oil is scarce and becoming difficult to extract,

motor vehicle industry is geared to produce combustion engines which burn gasoline

We planned to build our first commercial plant in B.C and are evaluating other sites in Canada

Technology: status update

In 2011 Technip, Inc., a global engineering firm, completed a 3rd party technical review and engineering feasibility of the process

The Report was favorable and Technip has since been engaged by CORE in a Service Agreement

Canadian Gasoline Market

Gasoline and diesel are the most widely used transportation fuels

Infrastructure, supply & distribution is complex and extensive

Nearly 200 million litres a day of petroleum-based fuels are pumped into Canadian cars and trucks

Comments on Competition

CORE is not aware of other attempts to produce gasoline from DME

Several companies have stated intent to produce gasoline from “bio-crude” (KiOR, Licella (Australia))

Others claim to produce fuels from syngas generation (Cool Planet Biofuels, Primus Green Energy)

Volvo and Chemrec have teamed up to construct a commercial plant to produce DME from synthesis gas generated from the gasification of black liquor

Haldor-Topsoe is developing their TIGAS process which closely resembles the MTG process (methanol-to-gasoline)

Bankable, Insurable and Marketable

Through Stern Brothers, The Export Import Bank of America has given CORE a letter of interest for biorefinery debt financing

AON will place Risk Mitigation insurance for the biorefinery, featuring Performance Guarantee insurance

Off-take agreement: Elbow River Marketing will purchase 100% of the output of the CORE green gasoline biorefineries

CORE’s Competitive Advantage

$CDN / litre

CORE’s production cost 0.39

Canadian 2011 average wholesale* 0.87

*According to Natural Resources Canada, refinery shutdowns in eastern US and pipeline bottlenecks for

western crude will cause supply issues which will increase wholesale prices in Canada starting in August, 2012
