Production faciltity start-up Schedule
Part 79 registration for KIOR' cellulosic diesel marks another
important milestone for KIOR and the renewable fuels industry.
The receipt of the Part 79 registrations for
KIOR's cellulosic gasoline and diesel from EPA
coincides perfectly with the start-up of the first production facility in
Columbus, Mississippi next month.
With registration for both KIOR's cellulosic gasoline and diesel completed,
KIOR now has a clear path to market to provide renewable cellulosic fules
for American cars and trucks during the fourth quarter of this year
Roles of cellulosic gasoline and diesel
KIOR will be able to play a key role in helping to fulfill the goals of the
Renewable Fuels Standard by providing a truly renewable fuel option that
1. uses only sustainable non-edible feedstock,
2. reduces greenhouse gases,
3. creates American jobs, and
4. reduces U.S. dependence on imported oils
Part 79 registration does not constitute endorsement, certification,
or approval by any agency of the United States.

About KIOR, Inc.
- Head office is in Pasadena, TX, U.S.A.
- KIOR produces renewable gasoline and diesel blendstocks
that are comparable to thier fossil-fuel based counterparts and
can be easily dropped-in to the exsiting fuel supply, offering
a more environmentally friendly fuel option to consumers at
the pump
- KIOR's technology platform is feedstockflexible, allowing for
the conversion of a wide variety of renewable feedstock into
renewable gasoline and diesel blendstock.
- Potential feedstocks for KIOR's conversion process include
1.Woody biomass
- Pupl logs
- Logging residue such as tops and limbs of trees
- Urban wood waste such as wood from tree cover
2. Agricultural residues
- Feed residues left in the field after harvest
(e.g., stalks,stems, leaves)
- Process residue left over from processing crop
into usable product (e.g., bagasse, husks)
3. Energy crops
- Crops grown expressly for biofuels
(e.g., switchgrass, sorghum)
- KIOR's gasoline and diesel blendstocks are projected to
reduce direct lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions by
more than 80 % compared to fossil-based gasoline and diesel

- Global Market
The global market for liquid transportation fuels is over U.S. $ 2 trillion
and demand is on the rise for renewable alternatives, particularly from
non-food sources.
KIOR's feedstock flexible technology platform allows it to convert
biomass anywhere in the world into renewable blendstocks, thus
enabling it to take advantage of international growth opportunities.
As drop-in alternatives to fossil-based fuels
- US Market
In 2007, the US Congress passed
the Energy Independence and Security Act which
updated mandates under
the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS2) program
requiring increasing production of 4 types of renewable fuels
1. Renewable Fuels
2. Advanced Biofuels
3. Biomass-based diesel
4. Cellulosic biofuel
in the United States. The result of this mandate is a substantial
renewable fuels market totaling 36 billion gallons by 2022.
RFS2 creats a vast mandated market for KIOR's blendstocks.
For example, each of the top 10 oil refiners in the U.S.,
who account for 70 % of total capacity,
will be required to purchase at least $ 1 billion worth of
renewable fuels per year by 2022.
