Which came first? The molecule or the market? 3

History is littered with eureka moments that never amount to much value for end-users 4

Bio-based chemical industry innovation cycle: Got sample quantities? It’s time for applications Feedstock development Capacity Conversion expansion evolution Consumer Material demand availability Applications development 5

Overview Applications are useful in structuring bio-based chemicals opportunities Leaders partner profusely to access markets and applications expertise Bio-based materials value proposition is ringing more clearly than ever Lessons from history may accelerate bio-chemical commercialization 6

Performed: Semi-quantitative assessment of largest polymer demands and how bio-based polymers fit End-users are hungry for polymers – where are they? Rough order-of-magnitude market sizing Simple match and rank approach to seeing which polymers meet which application demands 7

End-users are out there … breathing today and being born tomorrow 8

Rise of the middle class is inevitable –and is bringing environmental and technical challenges with it 9

Prevailing sources of resources likely not to continue to be economically accessible – in short order And this most recent Lux report pegs the end of (economically recoverable) oil at 2030 to 2034 … unless significant investment is committed Source: Lux Research The Race to Replace Reserves, October 2012

Ranking criteria were used to match applications to polymers that fit the application’s requirements Applications were rated on criteria of: Materials were rated on dimensions of: Differentiated performance required by Performance as differentiator application Need for material to be durable Durability Need for material to be recyclable Recyclable Need for an environmentally preferred Environmentally preferred solution Need for economic availability and scale Economic availability Threat of substitution Threat of substitution (Substitution potential) (Substitution potential) Other factors Other factors Source: Lux Research Bridging the Divide between Demands and Bio-Based Materials , September, 2012 12

Top Material-Application Matches, on Basis of Technical and Market Parameters Coatings Containers, packaging, films Industrial components Source: Lux Research Bridging the Divide between Demands and Bio-Based Materials , September, 2012 14

Bio-based materials participate in these applications with performance meeting or exceeding incumbents Application Materials Opportunity Coatings Bio-based feedstocks including Increased bio-based content; soybean oil, tung oil, polyols low VOCs (satisfies CARB and including glycerin and bio-based other regulations) Industrial PTT for foams Adding value through components advanced manufacturing PE, EVA, and ABS for tubing Using large-volume materials ABS for advanced composites, in unprecedented, PC for laminates, underutilized, or difficult ways PP insulation Containers, HDPE, LDPE, PET, and PVC; PLA’s low carbon intensity, packaging, films potential for recycling and PLA for disposables can’t be beat biodegradability make it best- in-class for disposable items Source: Lux Research Bridging the Divide between Demands and Bio-Based Materials , September, 2012 15

Partnering on applications and accessing markets increases at a frenzied velocity Products on market today Partner on applications & access to markets Substitutes Drop-in Replacements Improvements • PLA, starch- based plastics • PE, PP, PET, solvents, polymers • Spider silk, living materials BDO Butanol Succinic acid Acrylic acid PDO Adipic acid Isoprene Butadiene Terephthalic acid Furans 17

Brand owners are reaching down to stimulate development of bioPET and alternatives 18

Gevo’s downstream partners create products in a range of fuels and chemicals applications 19

Bio-based rubber gaining steam through a range of key alliances and joint development work 20

Partnerships to commercialize relatively novel bio- based specialty chemicals are even more important PBS 21

Some of the bio-based hype has subsided – but there’s still plenty of buzz – and opps for growth Some still may be asking, “Is bio better?” Or worse: they assume/believe bio has nothing to offer them Others are making investments and thinking about strategic opportunities to be met by bio- enabled materials and processes • Large companies which desire to maintain an edge should be mindful of extensive commitments in bio by the plalyers like …

The Bio-Based Materials value proposition Biotech does takes time to develop, but has profound ways of meeting market challenges • Hedge against supply chain risk  cost savings • Add unprecedented value – bio-based lubricants, new renewable/biodegradable/high performance 23
