Three Generations of Biofuels q First Generation – Billions of dollars invested in corn, vegetable oils, sugar cane. Caused major food supply dislocations in 2008. q Second Generation – Billions more still being invested in non-food land crops such as grasses, forestry, jatropha. Food chain dislocation avoided, but major issues of land water use remain. q Third Generation – Advanced Biofuels. § Requirements: § Not a food crop § Needs minimal land § Uses waste, brackish, or salt water § Purifies water (nitrates, drugs, salts) § Minimal evaporation § Substantial rates of CO 2 absorption § Large-scale Oxygen generation § Rapid harvests, permitting industrial scale production ----Algae is the Third Generation feedstock. © 2011 Origin. Oil, Inc. 12

Algae Solves Resource Challenges q Fossil Fuel Displacement § § q Reduces Emissions and CO 2 § § § q Reduction of many pollutants. “Net zero” carbon footprint. Total sequestration for maximum carbon removal. Sustainable Generation § § § q Biofuels from algae can replace petroleum directly. Every ton of algal biofuels used displaces one ton of petroleum. Use of croplands avoided completely. Fresh water unnecessary (waste water preferred). Use of fresh water reduced or eliminated altogether. Industry Synergies § § Industry partnerships for onsite fuels and CO 2 absorption Algae’s compact footprint enables production even in industrial zones. © 2011 Origin. Oil, Inc. 13

The Challenge The industry’s foremost technology challenge is getting the oil out of the water. A technological approach is needed Source: Biofuels Digest, 18 January 2011: Lotta Watta: algal innovators pioneering new extraction techniques © 2011 Origin. Oil, Inc. 15

The Solution Origin. Oil has the key technology for oil extraction from algae: • • In one step, Quantum Fracturing™ combines with electromagnetism and p. H modification to break down cell walls. Algae oil rises to the top for skimming and refining, while the remaining biomass settles to the bottom for further processing as fuel and other valuable products. © 2011 Origin. Oil, Inc. 16

Origin. Oil’s Midstream Activities © 2011 Origin. Oil, Inc. 17

The Origin. Oil IP Portfolio #10 – Hydrogen Harvester™ (2010): Photosynthetic technology platform that yields energy in the form of oil, biomass, and hydrogen. Uses little or no external energy inputs, requires no sulfur deprivation or other “stressing” of the algae, and no genetic modification. #9 – Multi. Reactor™ (2010): Direct-solar growth design that uses growth layers to harness the sun’s energy more effectively than existing pond systems, while greatly reducing the real estate required. #8 – Attached Growth System (2009): A breakthrough surface-mounted algae growth system that achieves more efficient light delivery, scalable growth, and higher throughput. Optimal for initial rollout in wastewater treatment plants. #7 – Live Extraction™ (2009): Achieves continuous production of algae oil without destroying the algae cell; does not employ expensive consumables and is not limited to oil-bearing algae strains. #6 – Dynamic Control System (2009): A bio-feedback process that improves energy efficiency and growth rates by ensuring the right types and amounts of light are used at all times as the algae grows to maturity. #5 – Single-Step Extraction™(2009): A revolutionary simplification of the algae harvesting process; combines Quantum Fracturing™ with electromagnetics and p. H modification to bring about oil extraction, and self-separation of oil, water and biomass. #4 – Optimizing Photosynthesis in a Photo. Bio. Reactor (2009): Additional improvements in photosynthesis using artificial lighting. #3 – Modular and Scalable Growth System (2008): Horizontal and vertical “stacking” of many Helix Bio. Reactors into an integrated network of fully automated, portable, and remotely monitored growth units. #2 – Helix Bio. Reactor™ (2008): Enables multiple vertical growth planes by optimizing delivery of light. #1 – Quantum Fracturing™ (2007): Achieves total and instantaneous distribution of CO 2 and nutrients in the algae culture with minimal disruption.
