Mobile BioFuel Technologies Business Summary:

Mobile BioFuel Technologies Inc. (MBT) has created an exciting new cutting edge product. MBT is unveiling the world’s first

and only industrial grade Mobile Biodiesel Refinery. The mission of MBT Inc. is to manufacture and distribute these Mobile

Biodiesel Trailers as well as other biofuel processing equipment to farms, cities, schools and businesses the world over, thus

reducing our dependence on fossil fuels and encouraging environmental stewardship. We first introduced mobile biodiesel

refineries in 2008. Early into the introduction phase we made the difficult decision to stop production and return to the

drawing board. The motivation to reengineer our mobile processors was twofold. First, we immediately realized that we

had discovered a profound niche in the biodiesel refining market that offered enormous global potential. This brought us to

the conclusion that it was in the best interest of MBT to create a safer, more user-friendly machine capable of producing

larger quantities of fuel. We decided to invest heavily into researching and developing the latest technologies and

incorporating industrial quality components and construction throughout our top of the line Mobile Refineries. What we

have created simply has no peers. These units can produce vast amounts of premium biodiesel with very little labor and are

engineered to handle even the heaviest of production demands and any business that spends money on diesel fuel for

vehicles, equipment, heat or power is our potential customer.

Recognizing the urgent demand and need for just such technology we are now offering these extraordinary machines to the

world market.

Market - Business Development Target:

Domestically the US potential markets for these processors are exceptional. WVO / FOG collection companies, Farmers and

Agriculture, Restaurant Chains, Distribution Centers, Snack Food Companies, Food Service Delivery companies. Colleges,

Prisons, Public Transportation, Cargo shipping and Marinas, and potential select distributors such as John Deer, Caterpillar

etc. Our initial goal is to capture the very key restaurant oil collection companies market. By securing the oil collection

market we will achieve two important advantages. First it is beautiful synergy with this market segment because of their

unique abundance of the raw material (feedstock) needed to make biodiesel and the fact that their collection trucks

require diesel fuel. Second we will create strategic alliances with these companies thus contractually securing feedstock for

our future customers. The oil collection companies will realize three distinct benefits in owning their own processing

equipment. They will save extraordinary amounts of money in producing their own fuel from the feedstock they collect.

Fuel cost for them will be about $0.90 per gallon down from a national average of $4.09 (a savings of $3.19 per gallon) as of

this writing. They will also be able to market the fact that they are a green company leaving a reduced carbon footprint by

recycling the oil they collect. This will encourage more restaurants to do business with them thus increasing their market

share. And last but definitely not least the increased lubricity of biodiesel over petroleum diesel reduces maintenance cost

while increasing engine life.

Over the last two and a half years Verde BioFuel, a subsidiary of MBT, has

been in R&D developing our second generation biodiesel refineries. These mobile processors are industrial grade units

designed for hard industrial scale use in the national and international markets.

The scale of our international opportunities can hardly be measured. Initially: Jatropha, Palm, Milletia, and Maringa

Plantation owners /managers in Central and South America. However we are getting inquiries from all over the globe.

Because our processors are capable of refining all vegetable oils, rendered animal fats and recycled fryer grease into

biodiesel they have significant value in almost every country in the world. Many nations are ahead of the U.S. in biodiesel

awareness and production. Most foreign countries have an equal or larger number of diesel vehicles versus gasoline

models. The price per gallon savings on biodiesel is usually higher internationally due to the fact that fuel is not as heavily

subsidized abroad. Countries like Indonesia for example have a tremendous need for our unique processors. Indonesia has

the 4th largest population on earth. Comprised of over 14,000 separate islands they are now the world’s leader in biodiesel

feedstock (raw oil) production. They harvest the oilseed, press the oil and sell this feedstock to China. China then refines it

into biodiesel for internal consumption or for sale to Europe, leaving Indonesia desperate for fuel to run the nations many

ferries, bus lines, power generations and farm implements. Mobile refineries are the missing link in this chain. Feedstock +

Mobile Refineries = Fuel. To construct a centralized large scale refinery on one of the 14,000 islands, then build the

necessary infrastructure to get the feedstock to said refinery and the infrastructure to distribute finished biodiesel back to

the islands is simply unfeasible. With our self-contained, mobile units these challenges disappear. This is but one case of

many, i.e. all of Southeast Asia, Africa, Haiti, Brazil, Australia………….

Feedstock :

The international feedstock market is massive one example specifically is GXE's Jatropha report focused solely on Jatropha

Curcas. We can extrapolate from these reports that there are many strong indicators of a greater need for a small scale

mid-market level refinery outside the US. Even if we ignore the fact that we have received unsolicited inquiries from 29

countries, we can analyze the amount of existing oil crop plantations there are and take into consideration the projected

amount. There is a global "gold rush" happening to fulfill the worlds biodiesel demands especially with government

mandates being implemented a very rapid rate. This rush started in Africa and Southeast Asia, according the GXE report

and is "making it's way west" to Central and South American countries. According to the GXE report an estimated 49% of

plantations in 2013 will be under 1000 Hectares. (Ha) 21% of will be R&D/research plantations. These are prime targets for

small scale refineries. This will make up 70% of the projected 13M Ha, (9.1 million Ha) If we multiply this by the average

yield of 800 gallons per Ha this mean there are an estimated 7.2 billion gallons of Jatropha Oil that will need refining from

plantations that are smaller than 1000 ha. each where our mobile unit is a perfect fit. (Please keep in mind that farms have

achieved as much as 2000 gallons per hectare on their plantations)

If we look at the infrastructure of these plantations we can determine that:

1.) A portion of these large plantations are either owned or managed by domestic entities, such as GFE Global, and GCE

farms. Steven Francis the CEO of McDonald Francis Farms, who is just now expanding into the Global Jatropha Market

(they were mainly camelina) told me that, although they own a very large 2 million gallon year (mgy) refinery, most of

these companies do not and cannot afford the 10+ million dollars it costs to build one. So they are forced to sell the Crude

oil.

2.) The rest of these plantations appear to be made up of very small farms, some have formed co-ops, and these farms

would directly benefit from having a small scale refinery.

Another interesting and still (relatively new) business model is the multi-purpose real estate market; micro investments in

land plots suitable for development years down the road. In the mean time Jatropha plantations are implemented and a

portion of the proceeds go back to the investor. These companies are also expressing interest in refining their own fuel,

since they receive double the return.

If you look at the GXE report, the number of hectares planted is expected to grow from 5 million in 2010 to 13 million in

2015. These are just the Jatropha based studies. There are many more opportunities with the rising popularity of

numerous other plant / seed oil feedstocks and the monetization of WVO FOG in other countries as well.

Competitive landscape:

In our research we quickly understood a huge gap in competition. There are a few others that have made beta mobile

shipping container platform but it is a one off unit, and not mobile. We have yet to find any other mobile industrial grade

solution. There are small inexpensive "garage" type systems using plastic tanks and parts. The market we are targeting is

the mid-scale industrial grade market, making 500 – 1000 gallons per day on site. MBT has all stainless steel tanks and

plumbing, integrated methanol recovery, proprietary overlap batch process flow, and a new drywash system. From the

construction, the fluid dynamics, motors, pumps, the batch speed and tank design, safety, fire suppression there are no

peers; all mounted in a spill proof vented mobile platform. We will always be pushing our R&D to stay ahead of the curve

and our 2.0 models will seek IP patent protection as we refine and integrate new disruptive technology for refining oil’s

such as algae. We think of our units as a mobile, low cost refinery. Our units are not just a processor, they are a complete

work environment that is also mobile. It is industrial equipment designed to run 24-7-365 with little or no maintenance.

Bandwidth:

We are developing a team that will build a lean j.i.t fully integrated manufacturing process that will be linked to inventory

re-order point, p.o. generation and accounting all of this will be linked to our CRM intranet communicating production and

cost metrics with sales and accounting and allowing a customer to know the status of their construction. The front facing

user experience will be second to none in the industry as well. We know how to develop an amazing web presence with all

of the interactive tools, SEO, social networking and e-commerce engine. The interoffice productivity piece will also be an

advantage with robust customer relations tools integrated email, project, and deal management tracking tools, VOIP, live

chat, video meeting/conferencing, facilitating a much faster cleaner ability to communicate with our customers. (especially

internationally)

Threats:

Certain threats exist. MBT inc. is aware of the great importance for us to be “first to market”. We are researching our

intellectual properties and patent protections and feel certain we will obtain credible domestic securities. Currently we

have no competitors in the market but this product is so revolutionary and advantageous that that is bound to change. Our

units are engineered to be extremely user friendly with "fix in field" technologies. This makes our mobile refineries

very attractive to the international markets. It does however compromise their complexities. Another concern of ours is

the potential for crude prices to fall. We believe that to continue to realize strong sales in the fuel market one must

maintain a competitive price point with existing fossil fuel. Our price per gallon cost is significantly lower than petroleum

diesel as of this writing and it is our opinion that this gap will only increase.

Investment Opportunity:

Mobile Biofuel Technologies Inc. is seeking individual angel investment / early growth capital ranging to

upgrade our manufacturing sales and distribution capability, launch our product to the national and international markets

and grow revenues for additional product development. We anticipate a strong rate of return to the investor after the 2nd

year with an option to hold a vested equity ownership position in the company.

Initial investment capital expenditures include: (depending on investment: lease, purchase, or build) larger manufacturing

and office space with demo floor and showroom. Process mapping for integrated manufacturing and engineering biodiesel

equipment and JIT inventory system development. Tooling fabrication equipment. I.P. Patent, legal and insurance. Web

development, project and deal management, CRM intranet development with training, e-learning, safety and accounting.

produce all 3 units for showroom, marketing and sales rollout; both nationally and internationally.
