Iowa corn ethanol plant

VISALIA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#biofuels–Edeniq, Inc. (“Edeniq”), a cellulosic technology company, and Siouxland
Energy Cooperative (“Siouxland Energy”) today announced that the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) has approved Siouxland Energy’s
registration of its 60 million gallon per year (MGPY) corn ethanol plant
for generation of D3 RINs from cellulosic ethanol.

Siouxland Energy is the fourth plant to receive a cellulosic ethanol
registration from the EPA after deploying Edeniq’s Pathway Technology.
Edeniq’s registered customers now total 400 MGPY of nameplate ethanol
capacity and are averaging 1% cellulosic ethanol. Over the next year,
Edeniq expects to significantly increase average customer cellulosic
ethanol production through ongoing technology enhancements that are
being refined and introduced to customers as early as the third quarter
of 2017.

“We are excited to be among the leaders in cellulosic ethanol production
and expect a substantial boost to our profitability,” said Jeff Altena,
Siouxland Energy’s Operations Director. “Edeniq has continued to meet
all of our expectations, beginning with the Cellunator® installation we
completed in the fourth quarter of last year and continuing through the
EPA D3 RIN registration process.”

Edeniq’s Pathway Technology is the lowest-cost solution for producing
and measuring cellulosic ethanol from corn kernel fiber utilizing
existing fermenters at corn ethanol plants, and has already proven up to
a 2.5% cellulosic ethanol yield. Cellulosic gallons are eligible for D3
RINs once approved by the EPA. Pathway, which also increases corn oil
production, can be deployed with or without Edeniq’s Cellunator
technology. When deployed alone, it is a zero-capex technology solution.

“We would like to thank the Siouxland Energy team for their
collaborative approach to our partnership,” said Cam Cast, Chief
Operating Officer of Edeniq. “We would also like to thank the EPA for
prioritizing Siouxland Energy’s D3 RIN registration. Over the past nine
months, the EPA has registered our first four customers, and we are
looking forward to helping many more plants move through the process
this year.”

“Edeniq has a number of additional plant customers already in the
registration process with the EPA,” noted Brian Thome, President and CEO
of Edeniq. “The value that our Pathway Technology can bring to a plant
is tremendous, especially when you consider that it can be accomplished
without the need of additional capex. Our focus has now turned to broad
operational deployment and further improvements that are coming, and it
has been through the efforts of our entire team, and especially
customers like Siouxland Energy, in helping achieve the successes we’re
realizing.”
