1 March 2016 Biodiesel Industry Overview & Technical Update 1
2 Topics for Today: Biodiesel Industry Overview Biodiesel Benefits Biodiesel ASTM Fuel Specifications & Quality Legislative Updates Impacting Demand OEM Acceptance and Positions of Support Information Resources 2
3 What is Biodiesel? A clean, domestic, sustainable, renewable fuel for diesel engines made from fats and oils, such as soybean oil and used cooking oil A high quality Advanced Biofuel Made through a chemical reaction called transesterification and meets ASTM D6751 standards B20 and lower blends and even B100 in some cases have been used successfully in existing older diesel engines as well as new models coming off the production line
4 Biodiesel Defined Biodiesel, n. - - a fuel comprised of mono- alkyl esters of long chain fatty acids derived from vegetable oils or animal fats, meeting ASTM D 6751, designated B100. Biodiesel Blend, n. - - a blend of biodiesel fuel with petroleum- based diesel fuel designated BXX, where XX is the volume percent of biodiesel. This tightly specified definition was instrumental in achieving OEM support 4
5 Biodiesel and the RFS: Advanced Biofuel Defined Advanced Biofuel - means renewable fuel, other than ethanol derived from cornstarch, that has lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions that are at least 50 percent less than baseline lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions.
6 What s NOT Biodiesel? Raw vegetable oil/svo Recycled cooking oil Ethanol Ethanol, methanol, or water blended with diesel and an emulsifier Other Renewable Fuels
7 Biodiesel Reaction Reacting: 100 Lbs. Vegetable Oil or Animal Fat + 10 Lbs. Alcohol In the Presence of a Catalyst Sodium Hydroxide or Potassium Hydroxide Yields: 100 Lbs. Biodiesel + 10 Lbs. Glycerine Methanol or Ethanol Transesterification process produces mono- alkyl esters chemically similar to diesel fuel 7

13 Biodiesel Production Goal: 4 Billion Gallons by
14 Biodiesel Infrastructure Biodiesel and biodiesel blends available nationwide. At least 2,000 public locations Existing trucks, tanks, dispenser pumps and blending facilities can be used for B20 and lower Biodiesel blends are now being shipped on pipelines
15 Top Reasons Why Smart Customers Are Using Biodiesel 15
16 Biodiesel Does Good Things: Provides high quality fuel from domestic, sustainable resources Reduces imports and power of oil cartels Supports 62,000 U.S. Jobs Generates $2.6 Billion in Wages Generates $17 Billion total Economic Activity Reduces Particulates, Carbon Monoxide, and Unburned Hydrocarbons from Older Engines Reduces Green House Gas Emissions Best Carbon Footprint of any U.S. Produced Fuel 16
17 Green House Gas Benefits: Biodiesel Reduces Carbon Footprint U.S. biodiesel on average provides an 80% Reduction in Carbon Emissions compared to petroleum diesel Full life cycle from soil to tailpipe Includes latest indirect land use impacts for biodiesel used in the United States Energy Balance 5.5 to 1 17
18 GHG Benefits Cont d Other tailpipe emissions are also reduced by running on biodiesel in older diesel engines that do not have exhaust after- treatment Emission Type B20 B2 Total Unburned Hydrocarbons - 20% - 2.2% Carbon Monoxide - 12% - 1.3% Particulate Matter - 12% - 1.3% Oxides of Nitrogen (NO X ) +/- 2% +/-.2% 18
19 ULSD vs B20 in SCR Systems No statistical difference in NOx Conversion with B20 across the entire engine map
20 Sustainability Biodiesel is produced from a variety of renewable resources, such as plant oils, animal fats, recycled grease, and even algae, making it one of the most sustainable fuels on the planet. With biodiesel, food isn t sacrificed for fuel. Oils and fats for biodiesel are a minor by- product of producing food for humans and animals. Soybeans are 80% protein, 20% oil No one grows livestock for its fat content No one cooks more fried food to get used oil for biodiesel
21 THE ORIGINAL MISSION Soybeans are grown for protein meal. Soybeans are 80% protein meal and 20% oil. Beans are crushed to separate oil and meal. Protein meal is consumed by humans and animals. There is an excess of soybean oil. Biodiesel uses the excess oil 21
22 By creating a market and value for excess soybean oil, Biodiesel decreases soy protein meal prices by $20-40 per ton. 22
23 When we grow protein to feed the world, we get more fat than we can eat Protein is an essential part of our diet. Plants are the base of our food chain. Plants produce much higher ratios of energy to protein than is needed in a human or animal diet. To harvest enough protein from plants results in a surplus of fats, carbs, and fiber. 23
24 Food AND Fuel A gallon of biodiesel cannot be produced without co- producing 30 lbs. of protein and 22 lbs. of carbs and dietary fiber. BIODIESEL 24
25 Energy Security & Economy Reduces our dependence on foreign oil Expands and diversifies our domestic refinery capacity Most economical option for turning oils and fats into usable fuel diesel applications Creates added outlets for farm- based products Creates U.S. manufacturing jobs 25
26 Energy Security & Economy The nearly 2 billion gallons of biodiesel produced in 2015 supported more than 62,000 jobs across the U.S. and generated nearly $17 billion in economic activity. The more than 10 billion gallons of biodiesel produced in the U.S. since 2005 have displaced more than 10 billion gallons of imported diesel fuel 26
27
28 Biodiesel Improves Diesel Properties Blends with petrodiesel in any percentage Once it is blended it does not separate back out Higher Cetane Over 50 vs. average petrodiesel around 44 Smoother, more complete burn Higher Lubricity 2% biodiesel fixes even bad diesel Virtually Zero Sulfur Meets ULSD limits of 15 ppm or less Zero Aromatics Reduces Toxicity and Burns Cleaner 11% Oxygen Provides Superior Lubricity and Reduces Black Smoke (Particulates) High Flash Point Makes it Safer Non hazardous shipping (over 200 F)
29 ASTM Specifications and Biodiesel Fuel Quality 29
30 Biodiesel Standards: ASTM D6751 is the approved standard for B100 for blending up to B20, in effect since 2001 Performance- based standard: feedstock and process neutral D975 Covers petrodiesel and blends up to five percent biodiesel maximum for on/off road engines; in effect since 2008 D7467 Covers blends containing six to twenty percent biodiesel (B6- B20) for on/off road engines, in effect since 2008 Designed so that if B100 meets D6751 and petrodiesel meets D975, then B6 to B20 blends will meet their specifications Important quality control is at B100 level 30
31 Enforcing Biodiesel Fuel Quality Standards 49 States have adopted ASTM D6751 as part of state law and can now legally enforce the ASTM D6751 Biodiesel Standard No efforts are planned for Alaska NBB works actively with State Departments of Weights & Measures and other regulating entities (EPA, IRS) to help monitor and enforce biodiesel fuel quality 31
32 What is BQ- 9000? Biodiesel Industry s equivalent to an ISO 9000 program for biodiesel production & distribution companies as well as testing labs NBB implemented BQ as a means to help instill confidence in biodiesel with users and equipment companies There are now four BQ designations: Producer (make it to spec) Marketer (buy spec, keep it in spec, blend it right) Certified Laboratories (test the fuel accurately) Retailer (fuel quality management practices) Many OEMs are now either requiring or strongly encouraging BQ Organizations have seen economic advantages as more bids are requiring the certification!
33 BQ Volumes Today Percentage of BQ Biodiesel FY05 FY06 FY07 FY08 FY09 FY10 FY11 FY12 FY13 FY14 FY15 At the close of this past year, the percentage of gallons produced and being handled by BQ accredited locations within the marketplace has increased to over 91%.
34 Legislative Updates Impacting Biodiesel Demand and OEM Support 34
35 Biodiesel Volumes & RFS EPA Definition 40 CFR Advanced Biofuel means renewable fuel, other than ethanol derived from cornstarch, that has lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions that are at least 50 percent less than baseline lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions (i.e., diesel fuel) Biodiesel qualifies as an Advanced Biofuel and meets EPA requirements for inclusion and use under the new Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS- 2) Creates Advanced RIN which has value and can be traded Biodiesel s Advanced Biofuel RIN value allows biodiesel to be sold at or lower than petroleum based diesel 35
36 Biodiesel Policy Update Biodiesel qualifies as Advanced Low Carbon RFS fuel EPA Released Renewable Fuel Standard Volume requirements for both biodiesel eligible categories: Biomass Based Diesel Advanced, Non- Diff. Year (actual gallons) (ethanol equivalent gal.) 2014 (actual): 1.63 Billion gallons 2.68 Billion 2015 required: 1.73 Billion gallons 2.88 Billion 2016 required: 1.9 Billion gallons 3.61 Billion 2017 required: 2.0 Billion gallons Did not publish
37 Federal Legislation Other federal legislative incentives that are important to OEMs and fleets: Biodiesel Tax Incentive $1.00 per gallon blenders tax credit Biodiesel Blenders Tax Credit ($1/gal) reinstated for Industry seeking switch to domestic producers credit and multi- year extension EPACT Credits (Energy Policy Act) Incentive for fleets for B20+ use; most economical option for EPACT compliance 37
