3 Snapshot of Kreido Founded in 1995, $20M invested in R&D EPA CRADA since 2003 Went public (KRBF.OB) and registered shares in 2007 Raised $25M in PIPE offering Funds invested in reactors, plant and site Financials as of December 31, 2007 Cash on hand: $6 million / $0.11 per share Capital investment: $13 million in plant assets / $0.25 per share Minimal debt of $0.1m from operating leases 3 |
4 2007 Accomplishments Met ASTM standard for conversion with multiple feedstocks Successfully ran Foothill pilot plant using animal fat Established reactor manufacturing capability Agreement for sales and distribution with Eco Energy Constructed plant reactors and modular units Expanded collaboration with EPA 4 |
5 Kreido's Value Proposition Patented, third generation technology Lower capital and operating costs Greater feedstock flexibility Reduced environmental impact Modular approach shortens construction cycle Parallel construction process Efficiency and centralization benefits Affords simultaneous consideration of alternative sites Internal reactor manufacturing capacity Positioned for sustained growth Global licensing opportunities Deep water, East Coast port advantage Seasoned management and strong board |
6 Third Generation Technology Advantages Patented STT(r) technology Spinning tube-in-tube reactor Thin film, high shear reactor system Technology advantages include Multi-feedstock flexibility Improves production yield ASTM-quality in less than one second 6 |
7 Fewer Steps and Higher Efficiency Feedstock Catalyst Water Biodiesel Glycerin Alcohol Soap Glycerin Alcohol Water Reactor Alcohol Recovery Reactor Sepa- rator Ester Drying Water Evaporation Sepa- rator Alcohol Recovery & Biodiesel Polishing Sepa- rator 7 Kreido requires only dark blue steps Water Evaporation Water |
8 Capital and Operational Cost Advantage Expected cost advantage Operating savings Up to 3% better yield and feedstock flexibility Lower cost catalyst and fewer chemicals Fewer employees, less equipment and real-time control Avoids water recovery costs Capital savings Up to 1/3 less capital for plant processing Shorter time to market with modular construction Waterless process avoids disposal requirements More compact and standardized units * Basis - 50 mgpy greenfield biodiesel plant using traditional vegetable oils incorporating Kreido internal engineering estimates, independent laboratory (APC) development work and public data |
Feedstock Flexibility Advantages Ability to utilize lowest cost feedstocks Optimize among multiple low FFA feedstocks (soy, palm, jatropha, karanja, rapeseed, animal fats) Continuous and self cleaning provides rapid transitions Deep water access to varied global feedstocks Adequate tankage for opportunistic acquisition of feedstock 9 |
Reactors, modules and site work performed concurrently Modular approach creates multi-site options More compact and standardized units Efficiency from centralized modular construction Modular Approach Shortens Construction Cycle 10 Expansion Potential Expansion area for Plant 2 3D drawings of our Wilmington, NC plant |
Extensive Global Licensing Opportunities Indigenous feedstock growth worldwide creates opportunities for new facilities Modules located at sites for feedstock access India and Brazil collaborations initiated Direct sales of in-house reactors or systems License fees in cash, feedstock and/or equity U.S. opportunities from closures and halted construction 11 |
Superior Deep Water Location Wilmington, NC on Atlantic Ocean Access to major East Coast demand centers Easy shipping to European biodiesel consumers Water access for all global feedstock sources Site allows for multiple plants up to 100MGPY Long term use of 4 Vopak tanks 12 |
