INITIAL REVIEW ENGINEERING REPORT 

PMN: 11-0331

Focus Ready Draft 5/19/2011

ENGINEER: Avcin \ JD \ EV

PV (kg/yr): 

SUBMITTER: KiOR, Inc.

USE: Hydrotreated lignocellulosic distillate used as a

blendstock for conventional fossil fuels. 

 P2REC: CRSS: Forward. P2 Claim:

The PMN material is a renewable crude oil substitute

created from from surplus biomass feedstock. This

substitute can be refined and then blended into a variety

of transportation fuels. It is compatible with and can

be "dropped-in" to our country's existing fuel production

and distribution infrastructure and used in vehicles on

the road today. The PMN material delivers over 80%

reduction in greenhouse gas emissions relative to current

gasoline and diesel fuels. 

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.
