CONTINUED GROWTH OF AVIATION MARKET

                  Kerosene consumption is expected to quadruple by 2050

•   Air traffic will continue to grow by annually
    4.7 per cent over the coming 20 years
•   Airbus: 6,000 new orders (01/2016)
•   Annual kerosene demand is expected to
    rise by 3 – 3.5 per cent
•   Aviation sector depends on crude oil
•   Crude oil is a scarce commodity

                        It is difficult to obtain accurate predictions on the evolution of the oil
                       price for a period of more than one year. However, all the experts agree
                               that the world economy will be burdened by a pronounced

Why do capacities not grow to meet the growing demand?

• Refinery margins fell from 10 USD/barrel to 5 USD/barrel during the last decade
• This price erosion, further aggravated by the drop of crude oil prices, makes investments in new
  refineries unattractive

CLIMATE PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS

The „Paris Agreement“ of the 21. United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP21) and its
ambitious climate protection targets put even more pressure on the need for the development of
alternative and environmentally friendly fuels. Target: carbon-neutral growth (not decarbonisation)

Article 2.1
“This Agreement, in enhancing the implementation of the Convention, including its objective, aims to strengthen the global response to
the threat of climate change, in the context of sustainable development and efforts to eradicate poverty, including by:
a) Holding the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit
   the temperature increase to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels, recognizing that this would significantly reduce the risks and impacts
   of climate change;”

Article 4.1
“In order to achieve the long-term temperature goal set out in Article 2, Parties aim to reach global peaking of greenhouse gas
emissions as soon as possible, recognizing that peaking will take longer for developing country Parties, and to undertake rapid
reductions thereafter in accordance with best available science, so as to achieve a balance between anthropogenic emissions by
sources and removals by sinks of greenhouse gases in the second half of this century, on the basis of equity, and in the context of
sustainable development and efforts to eradicate poverty.”

Article 5.1
“Parties should take action to conserve and enhance, as appropriate, sinks and reservoirs of greenhouse gases as referred to in
Article 4, ….”

•   This pilot plant may be the catalyst for Germany‘s first step towards a continous supply
    of green jetfuel.

•   Production of green fuel and green basic chemicals based on biogas

•   Site of facility: Province of Lower Saxony, Germany

•   Start of production: May 2019

•   Capacity: 10 bpd (1.500 l/d) FT-product

•   Offtake of complete production secured

•   Feedstock: standard biogas plant

Potential: 8.000 biogas plants in Germany alone

INNOVATIONS OF THE ALF-FT-TECHNOLOGY I

• Modular technology platform: variability options
  concerning the number and the arrangement of tubular
  reactors allow increased user flexibility for decentralised
  and centralised use
• The modular design allows ideal adjustment to the capacity
  of decentralised e-CO2 sources, too
• Newly developed Fe-catalyst (key of ALF technology). It is
  characterised by high product selectivity, high shift
  properties (particularly important for CO2 based synthetic
  gas), low CH4 formation rate, increased aromatics content,
  longer operating times and low overall material costs
• Once-through operation: together with tiered Syncrude
  separation it guaranties a higher drop-in kerosene yield of
  up to 70 per cent

INNOVATIONS OF THE ALF-FT-TECHNOLOGY II

• High load flexibility and product quality
• Process control/upscaling: The ALF technology generates the required regeneration heat which
  is indispensable for the separation of e-CO2 from air and f-CO2 in a large scale refinery
  operation. The attachment – including integrated infrastructure – to a large scale refinery
  substantially reduces capital investment expenditures and operating costs as compared to a
  stand alone facility.
