Overview

IFT is a technology company that has developed a number of proprietary, surfactant-based liquid fuel additive formulations that enhance the performance of liquid hydrocarbon fuels and bio-fuels. Focus of IFT’s commercialization efforts to date: DiesoLiFTTM 10 •  Provides increased fuel economy, lubricity, detergency and reduced emissions to diesel fuel •  Enables bio-diesel fuel blends (up to B-20) to perform on par (same fuel economy) with regular diesel

DiesoLiFTTM 10 allows companies to boost productivity, enhance performance and life of their equipment, increase profitability and reduce downtime.

Key Considerations

•  Early Stages of Commercialization •  Operational Structure:

–  Manufacturing: outsourced to Multisol France and Air Products –  Distribution: outsourced to worldwide network of prominent industry

distribution partners •  Commercial Goal: the bulk sale (by the container) of IFT’s additive

technology to major end-users of diesel fuel: rail operators; road transport; and stationary power generation (distributors, additive companies, oil companies, direct)

•  Potential Market: virtually every gallon of diesel and bio-diesel consumed

in the world today is a potential market for IFT’s fuel additive formulations

IFT’s Technology •  IFT additive formulations are based on surfactant physical-chemistry, a complex mixture of detergent substances that utilize in part naturally occurring, renewable fractions that meet OECD bio-degradability criteria. • Safe to handle; no harm to engine components and parts.

• Easy to use - splash blending (typical treat ratio: 1 to 600). • Use of technology has no effect on fuel composition make up or standard specification.

• Multifunctional – fuel economy; reduced emissions; lubricity; detergency; water co-solvency, fuel stability.

• IFT is protected by patents and patent applications pertaining to numerous applications of its technology.

Page 8: International Fuel Technology (OTCBB: IFUE)

How DiesoLiFTTM 10 Works

•  When splash blended into a base fuel, DiesoLiFTTM 10 is fully and uniformly incorporated into the base fuel. The mixture forms into, and remains a stable solution.

•  Unique surfactant molecules reduce fuel surface tension allowing for a finer spray pattern of the fuel / air mixture in the combustion chamber.

•  Atomization facilitates a more complete and efficient combustion. Less fuel is needed for the same power output, reducing fuel consumption.

•  More complete combustion => reduced emissions –  More carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and particulates are burnt –  Less fuel burnt per unit of work => less greenhouse gas emissions

(CO2 and NOx)

Additional Benefits

•  Additive formulations adsorb to the internal surfaces of the fuel system

–  Form a monolayer of protection against corrosion –  Optimize fuel flow through the fuel system

•  Inherent chemical properties:

–  Improve fuel lubricity –  Act as a detergent in the fuel system –  Co-solve free water in the fuel system

•  Reduced maintenance costs

Lab Test and Field Demonstrations

•  DiesoLiFTTM 10 has been tested at independent test laboratories and has consistently demonstrated the ability to increase fuel economy, in the range of 3% to 6%:

–  U.S.: Southwest Research Institute and Motive Power; –  U.K.: mi Technology (Interfleet) and Prodrive; –  Canada: the Forest Engineering Research Institute of Canada; –  South Africa: Gerotek Test Facilities; and –  China: Tsinghua University.

•  Field demonstrations utilizing DiesoLiFTTM 10 have validated lab test results:

–  Rail operators –  Truck and bus fleet operators –  Power generation operator

12

Page 13: International Fuel Technology (OTCBB: IFUE)

Passenger Rail: The Interfleet Test

•  Between 2006 and 2010, Interfleet Technology coordinated a series of five trials testing the effect of using DiesoLiFTTM 10 on light rail engines (diesel multiple units, or DMUs). Three different engine types were used ensuring a good representation of the current passenger fleet in the U.K.

•  In each of the first four test bed trials a positive effect in either increased

power or reduced fuel consumption (or both) was achieved. •  In two of the test bed trials, reductions in fuel consumption of 6.9% and

5.9% were achieved.

•  In three trials, a power increase ranging from 2% to 3.5% was achieved.

•  In addition, particulate matter emissions “were significantly reduced in each of the four test bed trials.”

13

Page 14: International Fuel Technology (OTCBB: IFUE)

Interfleet Test

•  The fifth trial consisted of a large in-service demonstration between August 2009 and January 2010:

Significant improvement in fuel consumption rates of 4.4% after the additive was included into fuel mix “despite unfavorable weather conditions,” and despite the fact that only 72% of the fuel was additized. (Interfleet April 2010)

“The DiesoLiFTTM 10 fuel additive technology has been rigorously and independently scrutinized in both industry standard test bed procedures and within a major in-service field trial. The additive is simple to apply, has demonstrated consistent fuel economy improvements and hence reduced fuel costs.” (Interfleet April 2010)

14

Page 15: International Fuel Technology (OTCBB: IFUE)

Bio-Diesel Application

•  Use of DiesoLiFTTM 10 enables bio-diesel blends (up to B-20) to enter the market on par with regular diesel.

•  Rail engine test at mi Technology in the U.K. demonstrated that a

B-20 (rapeseed) additized with DiesoLiFTTM 10 was able able to recoup the approximate 4% loss in fuel economy when compared to regular diesel.

•  Another proprietary IFT additive formulation, DiesoLiFTTM BD-series, provides superior oxidation stability, deposit formation control and long-term storage stability to bio-diesel of varying type (B-5, B-10…..B-100) and all underlying sources (soybean, jatropha, rapeseed, recycled fried oil, etc.).

Page 17: International Fuel Technology (OTCBB: IFUE)

Marketing and Sales

•  Commercial Goal: bulk sale of DiesoLiFTTM 10 to major end-users of diesel fuel: rail operators; road transport fleets; and stationary power generation

•  Strategy: -  Partner with prominent fuel additive distribution companies with existing

customers and distribution channels -  Direct sales to major oil companies -  Direct sales to end-users

•  IFT Distribution Partners:

-  Multisol: France; Spain; Portugal; and Belgium -  Nordmann Rassmann: Germany; Austria; Central and Eastern Europe;

Scandinavia; and Switzerland -  Caldic: U.K. -  Tide Water Oil Company: India -  Next Group: Brazil

Summary of Key Commercial Developments

•  East Midlands Trains (U.K.) – successful field demonstration led to purchase of DiesoLiFT™10 for use in entire 89 unit light rail operation.

•  Other ATOC (U.K.) Operators – continued positive results from East Midlands should lead to purchases of DiesoLiFT™10.

•  European Rail Operators – ongoing commercial discussions. •  U.S. Road Transport – distribution fleets have been successfully using

DiesoLiFT™10 since 2002 •  India – Distributor Tide Water recently purchased its third container of

DiesoLiFT™ 10. Two large oil companies concluding extensive evaluations. •  Brazil – Two large Brazilian private companies evaluating DiesoLiFT™10. •  China – Swire Beverages, a major Coca-Cola franchisee, now purchasing

and evaluating DiesoLiFT™10 in 8 distribution depots.

Competition

DiesoLiFTTM 10

•  Hundreds of fuel additive companies claim fuel economy improvement •  Top line additive companies offer separately specific benefits: e.g.

detergency, lubricity, cetane no. improvement, anti-gel •  The cumulative effect of these benefits may improve fuel economy •  However, IFT’s DiesoLiFTTM 10 is the only combustion enhancing

technology that has extensively/consistently demonstrated fuel efficiency improvement
