INITIAL REVIEW ENGINEERING REPORT 

PMN: 11-0329

Focus Ready Draft 5/19/2011

ENGINEER: Avcin \ JD \ EV

PV (kg/yr): 47,000,000 YX

SUBMITTER: KiOR, Inc.

USE: Blendstock for gasoline, diesel and other

transportation fuels.

 P2 REC:

CRSS: forward. P2 Claims: The substance can be

substituted for petroleum-based fuels, is expected to

reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and utilizes excess

biomass feedstocks.

MSDS: Yes Label: No

Gen Eqpt: Eye Protection: For general work, use a minimum

of safety glasses with side shields. Where a spray, mist

or heavy vapor may exist, use chemical safety goggles or

a full-face respirator. Although face shields can be used

to supplement the level of protection, they should never

be used instead of primary eye protection.| Skin

Protection: Wear impervious protective clothing,

including boots, gloves apron or coveralls, as

appropriate, to prevent skin contact.

Respirator: Where vapors are present and engineering

controls have been unsuccessful or not available, use

NIOSH approved respiratory protection to mitigate

potential respiratory exposures. In situations where the

levels of the airborne contamination are unknown, use a

supplied air respirator or a self-contained breathing

apparatus (SCBA). Respirators should be used in

accordance with OSHA requirements (29 CFR 1910.134).

Health Effects: High vapor concentrations are irritating

to the eyes and respiratory tract and may be a central

nervous system (CNS) depressant (headaches, dizziness and

anesthetic effects). In addition, brief contact with

liquid may result in a minor irritation. This material

may also cause irritation of the eyes upon contact with

the liquid.
