Recap of CORE BioFuel CORE’s mission: develop chemical products from biomass
feedstock without fossil fuels Our first project will develop a patent-pending process to
produce carbon neutral 92 octane gasoline from wood feedstock
Gasoline from wood is a well-timed solution: need to reduce fossil carbon emissions;
crude oil is scarce and becoming difficult to extract,
motor vehicle industry is geared to produce combustion engines which burn gasoline
We planned to build our first commercial plant in B.C and are evaluating other sites in Canada

Technology: status update
In 2011 Technip, Inc., a global engineering firm, completed a 3rd party technical review and engineering feasibility of the process
The Report was favorable and Technip has since been engaged by CORE in a Service Agreement

Canadian Gasoline Market
Gasoline and diesel are the most widely used transportation fuels
Infrastructure, supply & distribution is complex and extensive
Nearly 200 million litres a day of petroleum-based fuels are pumped into Canadian cars and trucks

Update on Financing
CORE Investment Investment through CORE Limited Partnership has
been successful - the 2nd offering has not yet been filled
CORE continues to pursue funding sources -- government and the private sector
CORE is seeking a Strategic Partner

Update on Intellectual Property
Patents are pending in Canada, the U.S., European Union, and India
All applications are waiting for prosecution

Comments on Competition
CORE is not aware of other attempts to produce gasoline from DME
Several companies have stated intent to produce gasoline from “bio-crude” (KiOR, Licella (Australia))
Others claim to produce fuels from syngas generation (Cool Planet Biofuels, Primus Green Energy)
Volvo and Chemrec have teamed up to construct a commercial plant to produce DME from synthesis gas generated from the gasification of black liquor
Haldor-Topsoe is developing their TIGAS process which closely resembles the MTG process (methanol-to-gasoline)

Bankable, Insurable and Marketable
Through Stern Brothers, The Export Import Bank of America has given CORE a letter of interest for biorefinery debt financing
AON will place Risk Mitigation insurance for the biorefinery, featuring Performance Guarantee insurance
Off-take agreement: Elbow River Marketing will purchase 100% of the output of the CORE green gasoline biorefineries

CORE’s Competitive Advantage
$CDN / litreCORE’s production cost 0.39Canadian 2011 average wholesale* 0.87
*According to Natural Resources Canada, refinery shutdowns in eastern US and pipeline bottlenecks for
western crude will cause supply issues which will increase wholesale prices in Canada starting in August, 2012
