  2. Where We Started - Bio-Based Materials • Bio-PDO from corn rather than petroleum • Successful startup at Loudon, Tennessee • Sorona® expansions First Commercial Shipment November 27, 2006 The Dawn of Industrial Biotech

  3. DuPont Biofuels Strategy: 3 Segments • Seeds and Crop Protection: Commercial Products + Strong Pipeline • Cellulosic Ethanol: Developing new enabling technology • Bio-butanol: Supplementing ethanol with a high energy density, user-friendly fuel

  4. Corn Switch grass Corn stover Cottonwoods Wood chips Multiple Feedstocks are in the Future of Biofuels Production Sugarcane

  5. Reaching 60 Billion Gallons of Biofuels by 2030 A Scenario for Growth of Ethanol to Supply 30% of 2004 U.S. Gasoline Demand by 2030 70 Source: James D. McMillan, Ph.D.National Renewable Energy 60 50 40 35 million by 2017 44.8 Billion Gallons/Year 30 Cellulosic Ethanol 20 12.8 * 10 Grain Ethanol Grain Ethanol and Vegetable Oil Biodiesel 0 2005 2010 2015 2020 2025 2030 * Note: This number could be higher. The National Corn Growers Association predicts that as much as 15 -18 billion gal/yr could be produced from grain. Major changes to land use, exports, etc could also have substantial impacts. Regardless, significant cellulosic ethanol will be required to meet the 2030 goal and future national needs.

  6. Cellulosic Ethanol From Corn Stover:Developing Enabling Technology, Employing Exiting Infrastructure 40 Gal/Acre 391 Gal/Acre at 50% removal rate 155 Gal/Acre Stover 310 Gal/Acre Images: www.ca.uky.edu & www.nativeaccess.com

  7. Zymomonas mobilis Advancing Cellulosic Ethanol Fermentation Enabling Technology: Conversion of C5 (xylose) and C6 (glucose) sugars at cost effective yields, rates and concentrations

  8.     Biobutanol: Next Generation Biofuel • Start with a blank sheet of paper – what would you • want an advanced biofuel to be? • High energy density? • Easy to handle and blend? • Less corrosive? • Produced from many feedstocks? • Cost competitive with ethanol? And biobutanol is entirely compatible with ethanol. Biobutanol

  9. DuPont BioFuels StrategyCarbohydrates to Fuels & Chemicals Agricultural Inputs Plant Feedstocks Conversion to Sugars Fermentation Processes Biofuels Biochemicals Seeds Crop Protection Sugar Starch Ethanol Biochemicals Biobutanol Bio-PDOTM Cellulose Differentiated Products Biofuels Differentiated Strategy: Unique Technologies Across the Value Chain
