36 The chicken / egg problem has been resolved before! Produce BioDME Develop Market Distribute the Fuel Produce Fossil DME

37 Summary and Conclusions 1 Fuel generation at pulp mills has in various studies shown to have highest efficiency and lowest production cost compared to renewable fuels alternatives BioDME will be produced from November Capacity 4 tons / day An industrial demonstration plants planned to be in operation early Capacity tons of DME or corresponding amounts of methanol BioDME can be produced efficiently in biomass gasification based plants 37

38 Summary and Conclusions 2 BioDME production needs to be balanced with a second product, preferably BioMethanol Fossil DME will play a role to secure DME availability in the DME fuel system Fossil DME can be produced at competitive costs compared to fossil diesel in a crude oil price scenario > USD/bbl 38
