BASF and Avantium to establish Joint Venture
Build the first commercial-scale production plant
– ‘Reference plant’ at BASF’s Verbund site in Antwerp, Belgium of
up to 50,000 tons FDCA capacity
Launch PEF commercially and develop the market
License Avantium’s technology at industrial scale combined
with continued investment in technology leadership

Why is glucose so important
9
High level representation of value chains via the
sugar platform (E4Tech)
Reasons:
– Economic:
Available at good price
Good and proven logistics
– Technological:
Tests at lab scale have been done on the basis of wood chips
Does not require other pre-processing step
Retains structural integrity after process (does not crumble or slump)
– Sustainable:
Good ecological footprint
Undisputed
We continue to evaluate other alternative feedstock options

Features
– Concentrated acid, low temperature, two-stage, high selectivity
– Near quantitative conversion of cellulose to glucose
– Fractionation: glucose, C5/C6 sugars, extractives and lignin
– Feedstock flexibility: forestry residues (wood), wastepaper, corn stover
and bagasse
Technical Breakthroughs
– Acid sugar separation
– Materials of construction
– Lignin deacidification

• Lignin (specialty or energy)
• Tall oils
Avantium has radically improved the Bergius bio-refining process to achieve
cost competitiveness and high purity 2G glucose output
– Market:
Large market for glucose and a growing need for high purity 2G glucose
Growing interest from energy industry for biomass cascading (for lignin)
Potential for higher value lignin applications
Strong interest for mixed sugars for biofuel and biogas
– Technology:
Avantium innovations in hydrolisis, acid-sugar separation, lignin-
deacidification drive process economics and product quality
Ability to use diverse range of 2G feedstock; initial focus on woody biomass
Pilot plant design completed; technology is ready for scale-up to
demonstrate Zambezi technology at pilot scale
– Partnering:
The Zambezi technology is currently wholly owned by Avantium
Avantium is working with industrial partners for the preparation of a flagship
plant in Delfzijl, and in parallel on a range of business cases across the
globe
