1 Engineering and technologies Biofuel plants Technip is a leader in the engineering and construction of biofuel facilities, both grassroots plants and plant expansions.

2 Technip at a glance Technip is a world leader in project management, engineering and construction for the oil and gas industry. With a global footprint, our talents constantly offer the most innovative technologies and best solutions to our clients to optimize their investments and meet the world s energy challenges. Our mission is to deliver safe, sustainable and quality projects across the world. We operate in three main businesses: Subsea In subsea hydrocarbon field development, Technip s activities include the design, manufacture and installation of rigid and flexible subsea pipelines and umbilicals. Thanks to our portfolio of technologies, industrial and operational assets on all continents and a state-of-the art fleet, we offer a unique vertically integrated model in the industry. Offshore In the Offshore business, our activities include engineering, procurement, construction (EPC) and installation of fixed and floating platforms. We use a complete range of technological solutions to answer the challenges faced by our clients. We are leveraging our expertise in full-range of offshore facilities, as well as our strong know-how with added-value process skills and proprietary platform design. Onshore In the Onshore business, we deliver to our clients all the experience we have acquired for almost 60 years, combined with a large technology solutions portfolio. We are working on onshore facilities that the energy sector needs, in particular for oil and gas industry players. Technip is one of the global leaders for the refining business and petrochemical units. We also reinforced our position on project management consultancy (PMC) activities, by leveraging our expertise in the management of complex projects. 2

3 A leader in the biofuels business Technip is a leader in the engineering and construction of biofuel facilities, both grassroots plants and plant expansions. Bioethanol Bioethanol is a renewable fuel used in gasoline engines derived from the fermentation of sugars from starch or sugar-producing plants. Bioethanol is either blended directly with gasoline or in the form of ETBE (Ethyl Tertio Butyl Ether) produced by its synthesis with isobutene. Technip s technology enables the production of all grades of alcohol for the various uses and applications required by the market. Proprietary technologies Technip has strengthened its leading position in the market for bioethanol production units. Technip technology enables the processing of any raw materials that may be used for the production of fermentation ethanol: sugar raw materials (beets, sugar cane, molasses) starchy raw materials (cereals, cassava, wet milling by-products, potatoes) A complete range of processes developed and perfected by Technip covers all process stages, from raw material preparation to by-product recovery including: raw material preparation (sugar and starchy raw materials) hydrolysis fermentation distillation dehydration co-products and by-products recovery (evaporation, centrifugation, drying) Using bioethanol technology provided by Technip helps reduce the greenhouse gases. A high yield with low energy consumption at a minimised cost Technip processes have been developed to obtain optimum production cost: optimum productivity (maximum ethanol produced/raw material used ratio, optimised co-products and by-products recovery) energy savings operational reliability and limited number of operators Biofuel plants 3

4 Biodiesel Technip has designed and built numerous biodiesel production units, with capacities ranging from 100,000 to 250,000 tonnes/year. Technip is the leader on the French market with the execution of 6 projects. Biodiesel is used in diesel engines. It is made from the transesterification of vegetable oil or animal fat. This process consists of using a catalyst to trigger a reaction between an alcohol (methanol or ethanol) and the fatty substance in order to produce a less viscous product which can be used as fuel. Technology for biodiesel Technip has references in engineering biodiesel units based on classic and new Axens solid catalyst technology. In particular, Technip built the first solid catalyser biodiesel plant with Axens new technology with a simplified process scheme (no acid injection, no waste water, high purity glycerin). Esterification: the fatty matter reacts with methanol to produce a methylic ester. decantation: it enables the separation of ester from glycerine, which is then used as a component for pharmaceutical or chemical products. distillation: the purpose of this step is to separate the excess of methanol from ester. The methanol is then recovered and reused in the esterification process. Technology main features heterogeneous (solid) catalyst Continuous process Exceptionally high pure glycerine stream (>98% glycerol content, no salt) Lower catalytic cost No waste production of low value fatty acids leading to a very high yield of ester per tonne of oil No chemical consumption / handling Simplified process scheme: no acid injection, no waste water Methanol Vegetable oils Esterification Decantation Distillation Biodiesel Glycerine 4 Biofuel plants

5 Cellulosic Ethanol Unlike classic ethanol which is produced out of sugar or starch-based feedstock, cellulosic Ethanol is a new generation bioethanol produced from lignocellulosic material (straw, wood waste, dedicated crops like miscanthus or switchgrass). With expertise in key technological areas, Technip participates in development programs. In cooperation with Licensors and Producers we offer our Clients a large and complete range of services. Our goal is to bring R&d projects to the industrial level. Process stages in producing ethanol from cellulosic biomass involve a pretreatment step (sugar extraction), biological conversion (fermentation), product recovery (typically via distillation, dehydration), and residue processing and utilities. Production of ethanol from lignocellulose has the advantage of abundant and diverse raw material none of which is used for human food production. It has a low CO 2 footprint. Cellulosic ethanol is one of the most effective means for reducing GhG's in transportation. Technology Producing cellulosic ethanol using a biological approach consists in few stages: pretreatment cellulose hydrolysis fermentation distillation dehydration Enzymes Cellulosic ethanol Dedicated energy crops Dry agricultural residues Straw Wood Pre-treatment hydrolysis Sugars Fermentation Distillation Dehydration Cattle feed Lignin Separation Biofuel plants 5

6 New generation Biodiesel With a large experience in high temperature processes, Technip provides design and construction of next generation biodiesel units. NEW GENERATION BIODIESEL NExt generation Biomass To Liquid (NExBTL) Technip has established a close relationship with Neste Oil and has been selected as EPC contractor for the Singapore and Rotterdam units. With 800,000 t/year each, these are the world's largest biodiesel plants. Another route to produce high quality biodiesel is to convert solid biomass into synthetic fuel through a thermo-chemical route. Biomass to Liquid (BtL) may be produced from almost any type of low-moisture biomass, residues or organic wastes such as short rotation trees, straw, wood waste, bagasse etc. The process uses the whole biomass to improve carbon dioxide balance. Based on its experience gained in delivering the world's largest GTL complex (Oryx project), Technip offers world-class design and construction services for BtL plants. 6 Biofuel plants
