  We Put the BIO
   in Sustainable
Biofuels Production
                                                      Biofuels recycle carbon
                                                      dioxide emissions and help
                                                      protect our environment


                                                      Industrial Biotechnology
                                                      makes conventional ethanol
                                                      production more efficient


                                                      Industrial Biotechnology
                                                      companies have developed
                                                      new enzymes and microbes
                                                      to make biofuels from
                                                      cellulosic crop residues,
                                                      waste material and
                                                      dedicated energy crops


                                                      Agricultural Biotechnology
                                                      companies are developing
                                                      new energy crops with
                                                      increasingly positive
                                                      environmental profiles


                                                      Agricultural Biotechnology
                                                      increases crop yields on
                                                      each acre of land


                                                      According to a McKinsey &
                                                      Co. estimate, if current corn
                                                      yield improvement trends
                                                      continue, zero additional
                                                      acres will be required to
                                                      meet the new Renewable
                                                      Fuels Standard of 15 billion
