Ethanol Generator SetsEnvironmental Restrictions open new opportunities to renewable energy

...creates favorable environment for sustainable energy and big opportunity for ethanol solutions

Demand drivers Targets for the use of renewable energy in

response to climate change (e.g. 20% in 2020 in EU) Pursuit of energy independence (e.g. 136 bi liters of

biofuel in 2022 in the US2)

Players reaction Emissions restrictions guide R&D investments from

the main global players of diesel engines However, emissions reduction leads to efficiency loss

and rising costs

Ethanol as a solution Increase ethanol production (2.5x by 2020) and

transportation infrastructure (e.g. Logum pipelines) in Brazil

Many countries with ethanol consumption targets (e.g. China - blend of 10% in gasoline by 2020)

Global Expansion with cellulosic ethanol (e.g. cellulosic ethanol plant in commercial scale in Italy by 2012)

Strong environmental policies growth1 (5x more environmental policies in 2008 than 1999)...

Ethanol Generator Sets“Zero Carbon” solution for replacing diesel gensets

VSE Solution

Competitive Positioning

“Zero Carbon” energy generation Expected Competitiveness in areas with ethanol production and/or

incentives.

Target Market and

Applications

Family of ethanol motor generators from 250 to 1,000 kW 1st generation of 300kW genset is commercially available now 2nd generation will expand power range and provide technical improvements

Replacement of diesel gensets in stationary applications (power generation and mechanical drive)

Customer demand for energy safety (continuous generation and standby), and cost reduction (peak)

VSE Ethanol Generator Set is certified by ABNT according to ISO 8528.

Modify diesel engines to work with bio-fuel for agricultural and industrial applications.

Two main alternatives can be considered:

1 - Maintain diesel cycle including a ethanol / E85 PFI system and using a small pilot diesel to start ignition;

2- Change to Otto cycle removing whole diesel system and add an Ethanol system.

Add a injector port between cylinder head and intake manifold

New ECUCalibration development for:•Maximum E85 usage•Vehicle driveability•Base engine •Emission

Global trend of vehicle hybridization...

(% hybrid vehicles/new vehicles sales)

... creates opportunity for suppliers of hybrid propulsion systems

Beginning of the hybridization process Government with a key role by offering

incentives and subsidies (e.g. subsidies in the U.S. and England, Tax exemption in Japan)

Growing presence of heavy hybrid vehicles in the world

Local Market Brazil plays a distinct role in heavy vehicles

market (4th largest producer with 5% of global production)

Players Reaction Players, including automakers, are developing

hybrid solutions with own structure or through partnerships
