6. What is the IH2 Process?
• The IH2 process uses catalysts, hydrogen and heat to cost-effectively
convert a wide variety of biomass directly into high purity hydrocarbon
“drop in” fuels (i.e. B100) and/or high quality blend stock (e.g. >B50)
• The IH2 process takes only minutes to convert biomass to
hydrocarbons—Nature requires millions of years…
• The IH2 process can be integrated into existing refinery, mill, ethanol
plant, agricultural, or recycling operations to create higher value from
biomass than afforded by heat and electrical power sales (NA basis)
• The IH2 process is NOT Gasification/Fischer Tropsch

8. Technology Differentiators
• Fungible, high purity hydrocarbon fuel and/or blend stock products
- Gasoline produced from wood passes ASTM specs (i.e. B100) for economy & mid octane
- Diesel produced from wood too aromatic, currently ~B60, target is to get to B100
- Diesel produced from whole algae likely B100 (in testing)
• Nearly carbon neutral*
• Feedstock flexible with high product yields (67-157 US gal/US ton MAF)
• Attractive economics (~ $2/gal for 500 dry MT/day wood feed USGC pricing)
- Low capex (only 4 major process steps, low pressure, non corrosive)
- Low opex (predominated by feedstock)
• Exothermic process with 72% - 86% bioenergy recovery (wood)
• No engineering miracles required! Ready for market
*93% - 98% GHG reduction per Professor David Shonnard at MTU: http://services.lib.mtu.edu/etd/THESIS/2012/ChemicalEng/maleche/thesis.pdf

9. Techno-economic Analysis by NREL
• NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory) is a primary
laboratory of the US Department of Energy (DOE) for Renewable
Energy and Energy Efficiency research & development
• Comparing economics of different technologies on a similar set of
assumptions such as:
- nth plant
- 2000 mt of dry biomass per day
- 30-year plant life
- 40% equity financing with 10% IRR
- 60% debt financed at 8% interest rate
• MFSP (Minimum Fuel Selling Price) can then be used to assess the
cost-competitiveness of each technology

14. Executive Summary
The IH2 technology is
– a cost-effective process developed by GTI with US Dept of Energy
co-funding that converts biomass directly to high purity hydrocarbon
fuels and/or blend stocks using proprietary catalysts
– self-sufficient and self-sustaining with little unsustainable impact on
the surrounding environment needing only transport in/out of the site
– feedstock agnostic, able to consume broad range of biomass
straight, but feed can be mixed and changed routinely without
process refinement
– NOT gasification/Fischer-Tropsch
– nearly carbon-neutral (LCA >93% GHG* reduction)
– currently in basic engineering for multiple feed demonstrations
– available exclusively from CRI
