Biomass to Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and Related Biofuels

Blue Biofuels is a renewable fuels company commercializing a patented technology that converts abundant biomass into cellulosic ethanol, Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), and renewable gasoline, with industry-leading carbon reductions.

The Company has secured a strategic Florida production site and is now positioned to move from development to construction, pending completion of final financing milestones.

What Blue Biofuels Offers

  1. Strong Projected Economics

For the initial 25 MMGPY cellulose-to-SAF facility:
• Projected annual EBITDA: ~$84 million (BIOF share)
• 20-year cumulative EBITDA: ~$1.9 billion
• 6.2 billion kilograms of CO₂ reduction over 20 years

At expanded capacity (100 MMGPY ethanol), projected annual EBITDA increases to ~$283 million.

  1. Huge Growth Potential
  • Cellulosic feedstock available in the US alone – king grass, corn stover, wheat straw, sugarcane bagasse – is sufficient to replace all jet fuel with SAF
  • 5 billion tons of biomass can be sustainably harvested each year worldwide, making 400 billion gallons of ethanol.
  1. Proprietary, Patented Technology

Blue Biofuels independently developed and owns the patented Cellulose-to-Sugar (CTS) process, which converts cellulose from biomass into fermentable sugars more efficiently and cleanly than traditional methods.

  1. Industry-Leading Carbon Reduction
  • 80–100% lifecycle CO₂ reduction
    • Eligible for highest-value cellulosic renewable credits (D3 RINs)
    • Positioned to benefit from Clean Fuel Production Credits (up to $1.00 per gallon of SAF)
  1. Strategic Government Alignment
  • Increasing U.S. cellulosic fuel mandates
    • D3 RIN credits (~$2.40 per gallon of cellulosic ethanol)
    • Clean fuel tax credits
    • Large emerging opportunity in renewable aviation fuels
  1. Validated Commercial Pathway

Blue Biofuels’ 50/50 joint venture, VertiBlue Fuels, has passed Phase I of the USDA Loan Guarantee Program for a $148 million loan guarantee for an ethanol-to-SAF facility.

What Blue Biofuels Does

Blue Biofuels converts low-cost, abundant biomass into high-value renewable fuels.

  1. Biomass → Cellulose
  2. Cellulose → Sugar (via CTS technology)
  3. Sugar → Cellulosic Ethanol
  4. Cellulosic Ethanol → Sustainable Aviation Fuel and renewable gasoline

The Company has secured a Florida site with:
• Access to feedstock supply
• Rail and highway infrastructure
• Proximity to Tampa’s transportation hub

Renewable gasoline is already approved for 20% blending into U.S. gasoline. SAF blending registration is expected shortly.

Blue Biofuels is building a vertically integrated platform capable of producing low-carbon fuels at commercial scale.

What Blue Biofuels Needs

Blue Biofuels is raising $3–12 million to complete final conditions precedent required to unlock full-scale project financing and accelerate commercialization.

Capital will fund:

  • 120-day Integrated Demonstration Unit (IDU) run (~$1.5M)
    • Final permitting (~$375K)
    • FEL-3 engineering studies (~$1.5M)
    • Nasdaq uplisting requirements

A $10–12 million raise positions the Company to:
• Complete conditions for the $148 million USDA loan guarantee
• Pursue uplisting to Nasdaq within approximately 3–5 months
• Significantly enhance liquidity, institutional visibility, and valuation potential

Why Invest Now

  • Near-term catalyst: unlock $148M USDA-backed financing
    • Significant federal policy tailwinds
    • Large and growing SAF market
    • Proprietary technology with scalable economics
    • Current market capitalization (~$50M) is modest relative to projected cash flows

Blue Biofuels represents a developed clean energy platform entering its commercialization phase, with defined milestones, government-aligned incentives, and substantial projected operating leverage.
