News / Press Release LOGOS TECHNOLOGIES AND EDENIQ AWARDED CELLULOSIC BIO-ETHANOL GRANT FROM U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY December 4, 2009 Cellulosic biomass from agricultural, industrial, and municipal wastes to be converted to low-cost ethanol ARLINGTON, VA, December 4/ – Logos Technologies, Inc. and EdeniQ, Inc. announced today that they have been awarded a $20.4 million grant to modify and operate a pilot-scale bio-refinery plant to produce low-cost ethanol bio-fuel from cellulosic feedstock, such as corn stover and switch grass. Logos will manage the project, and EdeniQ will be responsible for the modification and operation of their existing refinery site in Visalia, CA. The project team also includes Novozymes (enzymes), Ceres (switchgrass), NextStep Biofuels (pelletized corn stover), USDA Forest Products Laboratories (yeast R&D), and U. California-Davis (greenhouse gas emissions analysis). The project utilizes a suite of EdeniQ’s proprietary technologies: the Cellunator™ (mechanical pretreatment), advanced enzymes for conversion of cellulose to sugars, and high-yielding yeasts to ferment the sugars to ethanol. The biofuels produced through this project will reduce CO2 emissions, displace petroleum, and accelerate the industry’s ability to achieve production targets for cellulosic and advanced biofuels mandated by the federal Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). Logos Technologies CEO, Dr. Greg Poe said, “Cellulose is the most abundant organic compound on Earth and is a compellingly interesting source of liquid fuels for our future transportation needs. Logos and EdeniQ are prepared to demonstrate the economic viability of this game-changing national resource for the Department of Energy.” EdeniQ CEO Larry Gross added, “We are delighted to partner with the DOE to accelerate the development and commercialization of low-cost cellulosic biofuel production. The technologies being developed by EdeniQ and Logos will dramatically reduce the time and capital required to achieve cellulosic production, by taking advantage of the billions of dollars infrastructure already deployed in today’s ethanol industry.

With this process, Logos scientists estimate, the cellulose waste streams from agriculture, industries, and cities could supply a significant amount of U.S. transportation fuel needs with a fossil-fuel substitute that does not introduce additional atmospheric carbon dioxide, does not adversely affect food prices, and offers superior performance and engine compatibility when compared to current biofuels. “I am delighted that Logos Technologies has been selected to help solve one of the most pressing problems the U.S. military and our country faces -- the need to greatly increase domestic production of energy,” said Congressman Jim Moran. “Small businesses are our nation’s engine for innovation and job creation. I am thrilled that this tradition continues with one of Arlington County’s own.” Logos Technologies CEO, Dr. Greg Poe said, “While fully compatible jet fuel produced from cellulose offers many advantages over other sources, its production demands more complicated processing than do current biofuel-production approaches. An important focus of the DARPA effort is to produce fuel at a cost that is attractive relative to other renewable alternatives, a goal that can be achieved better with our process, which can also produce diesel fuel and automotive gasoline.” Logos’ current effort is valued at $19.6 million. If all phases of the development program are completed, funding could grow to up to $35 million. The project team of 21 organizations from nine states – including universities, and large and small businesses – will be managed at Logos’ process integration laboratory in northern Virginia.
