## The Dawn of Industrial Biotech

**Bio-PDO from corn rather than petroleum**
**Successful startup at Loudon, Tennessee**
**Sorona****® expansions**** **

**Where We Started - Bio-Based Materials**

**The Dawn of Industrial Biotech**

***First Commercial Shipment November 27, 2006***

**Notes:**
 What you are looking at is a picture in Louden, TN at dawn of our new BIO-PDO facility.  The men in the lower right are standing in front of our first commercial sale of product which occurred just recently. 

 Shipping first quality product on a regular basis. 

## DuPont Biofuels Strategy: 3 Segments

**DuPont Biofuels Strategy: 3 Segments**

**Seeds and Crop Protection: Commercial Products + Strong Pipeline****	****	****	****	****	****	****	****	**
**Cellulosic Ethanol: Developing new enabling technology****	****	****	****	****	****	****	**
**Bio-butanol: Supplementing ethanol with a high energy density, user-friendly fuel  **

## Multiple Feedstocks are in the Future of Biofuels Production 

**Sugarcane**

*******  Note:  This number could be higher.  The National Corn Growers Association predicts that as much as 15 -18 billion gal/yr could be produced from grain.  Major changes to land use, exports, etc could also have substantial impacts.   Regardless, significant cellulosic ethanol will be required to meet the 2030 goal and future national needs. **

## Advancing Cellulosic Ethanol Fermentation

**Enabling Technology: Conversion of **
**C5 (xylose) and C6 (glucose) sugars at cost **
**effective yields, rates and concentrations**

## Biobutanol: Next Generation Biofuel

*** ******Start with a blank sheet of paper – what would you***
***  ******want an advanced biofuel to be?****** ***
***	***
**  ****High energy density? ****	****	****	****	**
**  ****Easy to handle and blend?  ****	****	****	**
**  ****Less corrosive?****	****	****	****	****	**
**  ****Produced from many feedstocks? ****	****	**
**  ****Cost competitive with ethanol?**
**   **
**And biobutanol is entirely compatible with ethanol.****	****	****    *****	******	******	******	******	******	***
