TECHNOLOGY START-UP MODUS OPERANDI
Example: Amyris Small volume, high value products first; partnered with midstream and final consumer companies

PARTNERSHIPS ARE FORMING
Wilmar & Elevance: A 50/50 owned plant in Indonesia producing oleochemicals, esters, acids, olefins, bolt-on to existing
Wilmar capcacity.
Neste Oil: Neste is switching away from palm oil use to palm waste and sugars. Also developing higher value products
than renewable diesel.
Versalis & Elevance: Technology partnership to develop pathway from veg oils and ethylene to key chemicals. Co-location/retrofit of petrochemical facility.
Sabic & Segetis: Sabic makes olefins, polymers and speciality chemicals.
Segetis’ tech could replace these with sugar-based biochemicals.
Palm oil plantation owners Petrochemical producers
Renewable fuel companies
Petrochemical producers
Sime Darby & Verdezyne: SD led a $48m investment round in Verdezyne, to
develop bio-fibers from palm wastes.
Palm oil plantation owners
REG & LS9: REG owns biodiesel and renewable diesel capacity. Bought LS9 to
develop sugars to oils platform -higher value products and diversify feedstock.
Renewable fuel companies
Mitsui & Solazyme: Mitsui has a stake in KLK Oleo, but despite this it has invested
$20m in Solazyme to produce oleochemicals from sugars.
Method & Amyris & Segetis: Method makes bio-detergents and has partnered
with Amyris and Segetis to use their chemicals in surfactants and solvents.
Petrochemical producers
Chemical off-takers
P&G, Amyris & LS9: P&G uses oloechemicals in its products and made a
few partnerships over the past years to explore sugar biochemicals.

THE ROLE OF CELLULOSIC SUGARS
Malaysia had 88m tonnes of palm biomass in 2013
About 30% of the biomass in Malaysia is “mobilisable”, for $20-80 per tonne
Indonesia produced 142m tonnes of palm biomass in 2013
This means Indonesia and Malaysia could have the potential to produce 41m tonnes of cellulosic
sugars
Including a cost of capital of 10%. Cost of biomass of $45 per dry tonne
