The beginning

• The biodiesel production process has been in use
  since the mid 1800s
• The first diesel engines were designed to run on
  biofuels (farmed crops)

3
Why is biodiesel getting so much attention?

• It can be used in any diesel engine
• Cleaner burning than petroleum diesel
• Renewable feedstock can be grown almost anywhere
• Biodiesel blends easily with petroleum diesel
  (B2, B5, B10, B20, B50) and can use existing
  distribution channels
• State and federal mandates are creating higher
  demand

Why is BBDs process Better?

• Uses a variety of feedstocks
• Lower production costs
• Less environmental impact
• Faster production timelines
• Higher production capacity
• Less capital intensive

6
Where feedstock comes from

• Plant matter feedstock
• Rapeseed (canola oil), Mustard seed, Palm oil,
  Soybean oil
• Animal fat sources
• Livestock operations, Meat processing
• Other oil sources
• Waste oils, cooking oils

7
Feedstock Comparison

• Better Biodiesel
• Accepts multiple feedstock in same processor,
  regardless of fatty acid content
• Flexible feedstock options give BBD strategic
  advantages

• Conventional
• Typically, can handle only limited types of
  feedstock
• Restricted feedstock options result in increased
  costs, timelines

8
Production Methods

• Better Biodiesel
• No caustic chemicals used in our continuous flow
  process
• Our catalyst is not imparted into the fuel
• No water washing
• Glycerin by-product is higher grade

• Conventional
• Caustic chemical used as catalyst must be washed
  from fuel
• Washing requires large amounts of water that then
  must be purified by evaporation or drying
• Glycerin by-product is also tainted

9
Production Costs
The majority of conventional biodiesel
processors, at current feedstock prices, spend
2.50 minimum per gallon in production costs.
Because of our cost effective process we save
at least 25 on production costs.

10
Production Facility

• Better Biodiesel
• A 10 million gallon module requires one 8 x 40
  foot container
• Modules can be built in 30 days
• Total space needed for module and storage tanks
  is 4,500 sq. ft.

• Conventional
• Producing 10 million gallons requires several
  acres of land
• Typical plants require more space - more permits
  - more time

Quality Control

• Better Biodiesel
• Each module contains over 100 computer sensors
  and monitors
• Every gallon of fuel meets the ASTMD-6751
  standard for pure biodiesel

• Conventional
• Inconsistent quality can be a problem for
  conventional batch manufacturers

13
Responsive to Market

• Better Biodiesel
• Able to respond to fluctuating market demands
  quickly

• Conventional
• Batch processing and restricted feedstocks impede
  market response

14
Biodiesel Market Factors

• Government incentives and mandates expected to
  continue
• Emerging markets such as China, Asia and India
  have growing demands for clean, renewable energy
  sources
• U.S. consumers are demanding clean, renewable
  fuel options nationwide

15
Biodiesel Emissions

• Of the current biofuels, biodiesel is the
  only one to have successfully completed emissions
  testing in accordance with the Clean Air Act.

Cleaner fuels result in health care savings.
According to Richard Kassel of the Natural
Resources Defense Council, because biodiesel
emissions pose fewer health risks, biodiesel
coupled with new diesel engine requirements
(effective Jan 2007) will reduce health care
costs. In a recent interview Mr. Kassel stated,
Every dollar invested in cleaner diesel engines
yields 17 in health benefits.

Good Mileage?
Ernie Rogers in a VW Diesel Beetle

• Park City, UT to Davenport, Iowa
• 1,209 miles
• on 15.5 gallons of B5 diesel 78 miles per
  gallon

17
His car
Ernie is a careful driver, not a speeder. But the
fact remains that diesel engines get better
mileage.
Its generally accepted that diesel cars get
about 20-30 percent better mileage than gasoline
cars, on average.
18
In a recent NPR Marketplace story

• JD Power analyst Jeff Schuster says he
  predicts clean diesel cars will have a 10 percent
  market share within a decade.
• Jeff ShusterWe are actually expecting diesel
  engines to overtake the hybrid vehicle in terms
  of overall share by the 2009 timeframe.

19
Better Biodiesels Growth and Production Capacity

• BBD expects to ramp up its production volume
  quickly
• First 12 months 39 Million Gallons
• Second year 111 Million Gallons
• Third year 183 Million Gallons

MarketingBetter Biodiesel is the exclusive fuel
supplier for
The Earthrace is the worlds first raceboat
powered by biodiesel. It will attempt to beat the
world record of 75 days for circumnavigation.
Its mission is to raise awareness about
renewable fuels and environmental issues.
The 78 foot Earthrace is a trimaran with a unique
wave piercing hull design.
21
As The Earthraces exclusive fuel supplier,
Better Biodiesel, will share the world stage with
Earthrace. In addition to a BBD logo on the boat,
Earthrace will actively promote BBDs biodiesel
fuel and technology in their educational and
publicity activities. Their pre-race tour
includes cities along the Atlantic and Gulf
coasts. More at www.Earthrace.net
