Overview

3

Blue Northern Energy’s (BNE) business model is designed to maximize the use of innovation within the bio-fuel industry while bringing to bear a unique perspective on how to profitably manage a biodiesel production facility.

This will be achieved by designing and operating new biodiesel facilities and retrofitting existing biodiesel facilities worldwide that are equipped with the STT Biodiesel Production Units.

In addition, BNE will sublicense STT Biodiesel Production Units internationally to third-party facilities in exchange for equity, license fees, and/or royalties.

Background

Mission Build a team of industry leaders in the fields of energy, finance and technology to innovate the renewable energy

markets worldwide by providing energy solutions for businesses and communities. Through its work BNE will influence and direct the public and industries in the use of renewable fuels ensuring energy security.

Vision Create a sustainable and profitable biodiesel production industry throughout the United States and globally.

Goals By sharing new technology, innovative business practices and finance procedures Blue Northern Energy will

empower businesses, communities and nations to establish sustainable, profitable biodiesel production facilities.

Objectives Develop the BNE Innovation Center as a model of the next generation biodiesel production process Complete production of the BN National Trail plant Introduce BNE energy solutions retrofitting process to the general market Refine biodiesel production processes to simultaneously incorporate multiple sources - corn, soy, algae, jatropha,

white grease, biomass, and more

National Trail Biodiesel Group (NTBG) was formed in 2001 as an agricultural coalition in southern Illinois. In 2009, NTBG sold the development work to Blue Northern Energy after NTBG had conducted several feasibility studies and due diligence was completed by equity firms, government organizations, and private investors.

Capital and Operational Cost Advantage

15

Expected cost advantage Operating savings

– Up to 3% better yield and feedstock flexibility – Lower cost catalyst and fewer chemicals– Fewer employees, less equipment and real-time control– Avoids water recovery costs

Capital savings – Up to 1/3 less capital for plant processing – Shorter time to market with modular construction – Waterless process avoids disposal requirements – More compact and standardized units

* Basis - 50 mgpygreenfield biodiesel plant using traditional vegetable oils incorporating BNE internal engineering

estimates, independent laboratory (APC) development work and public data

Feedstock Flexibility Advantages

16

Expected cost advantage Ability to utilize lowest cost feedstocks

– Optimize among multiple low FFA feedstocks (soy, palm, jatropha, karanja, rapeseed, animal fats)

Continuous and self cleaning provides rapid transitionsDeep water access to varied global feedstocksAdequate tankage for opportunistic acquisition of feedstock

Modular Approach Shortens Production Cycle

17

Reactors, modules and site work performed concurrentlyModular approach creates multi-site optionsMore compact and standardized unitsEfficiency from centralized modular construction

Expansion area for Plant 2

3D Drawings of Newton, Il plant

Extensive Global Licensing Opportunities

18

Indigenous feedstock growth worldwide creates opportunities for new facilities– Modules located at sites for feedstock access– India and Brazil collaborations initiated

Direct sales of in-house reactors or systemsLicense fees in cash, feedstock and/or equityU.S. opportunities from closures and halted construction
