A feedstock ‘agnostic’, highly flexible self-sufficient continuous catalytic thermo-chemical process invented by Gas Technology Institute and jointly developed with CRI to which CRI have acquired exclusive rights.
Uses catalysts, hydrogen and heat in proven refinery hardware to cost effectively convert forestry, agricultural and sorted municipal wastes into fungible hydrocarbon transportation fuels petrol, kero and diesel together with char, fertilizer, water and CO2.

IH2® technology takes only minutes to achieve what Nature requires millions of
years to
But it does her one better by providing refined fuel
Summary• There are four types of biofuels produced today in large commercial
volumes but only one that is currently approved for aviation fuel
- Ethanol (not suitable for aviation)
- FAME Biodiesel (not suitable for aviation)
- HEFA Renewable Diesel (potentially suitable for aviation)
- HEFA SPK Renewable Jet (approved for aviation)
• Honeywell UOP technology for producing HEFA SPK has been commercialized and costs of production have been reduced as expected
- Ground transportation fuels currently offer greater incentives for
producers and this must be overcome to expand the supply of renewable aviation fuels (ICAO CORSIA)
• New types of feedstocks will emerge as the demand for HEFA continues to increase
- Must be economically competitive and sustainable

Certain statements within this presentation may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements relate to a variety of matters, including but not limited to: the timing and costs associated with and the availability of capital for Gevo’s scheduled retrofits of existing ethanol production facilities, its future isobutanol production capacity, the timing associated with bringing such capacity online, the availability of additional production volumes to seed additional market opportunities, the expected applications of isobutanol, including its use to produce renewable paraxylene, PET, isobutanol-based fuel blends for use in small engines, and ATJ bio-jet, production costs and sensitivities, capital costs and sensitivities, tax credits and RIN pricing and availability, addressable markets, and market demand, Gevo’s ability to produce commercial quantities of isobutanol from cellulosic feedstocks, the suitability of Gevo’s iDGs™ for the animal feed market, the expected cost-competitiveness and relative performance attributes of isobutanol and the products derived from it, the strength of Gevo’s intellectual property position and other statements that are not purely statements of historical fact. These forward-looking statements are made on the basis of the current beliefs, expectations and assumptions of Gevo’s management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainty. All such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and Gevo assumes no obligation to update or revise these statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Although Gevo believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements involve many risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from what may be expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements. For a discussion of the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those expressed in these forward-looking statements, as well as risks relating to the business of the company in general, see the risk disclosures in Gevo’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, and in subsequent reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K and other filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Gevo.
