BP p.l.c. - BP, Verenium in biofuels
research deal
BP p.l.c. - 6 August 2008
to
accelerate the commercialization of cellulosic
ethanol
Collaboration
assembles core capabilities across
using
non-food feedstocks
- Initial
phase includes $90 million in total funding
today
announced the creation of a strategic
to accelerate
the development and commercialization of cellulosic
ethanol
and
operational capabilities
development of
a portfolio of low-cost, environmentally-sound cellulosic ethanol
production facilities in the
, and
potentially throughout the world.
Under the
initial phase of the strategic alliance,
Verenium is to
receive $90 million in total funding from BP over the next 18 months
for rights to current and future technology held within the
partnership.
We are very
excited and proud to be partnering with
BP, a world
leader in both the traditional and alternative
energy
industries
that shares our commitment and vision to rapidly evolve next-generation
ethanol into a commercial-scale solution for our energy needs," said
Carlos A. Riva, President and Chief Executive Officer at
Verenium.
"In addition
to BP's world-class capabilities in traditional energy production,
logistics and distribution, their commitment to accelerate the
development of the global biofuels market was a significant factor in
our decision to partner with BP. In addition, both organizations are
aligned on the significant market opportunity and operational
imperatives for achieving rapid commercial-scale
success."
BP is very
pleased to be entering this important relationship with
Verenium
believe energy
crops like sugar cane, miscanthus and energy cane are the
best
to deliver
economic, sustainable and scaleable biofuels to the world. This deal
puts us at the front of the cellulosic biofuels
game
In partnering
with Verenium, w
e now have the
most advanced technology for transforming these energy grasses to
biofuels,
to meet
the requirements for cellulosic ethanol laid out in the recent energy
bill. We also
our Brazilian
assets. Verenium ha
already
demonstrated the technology
this
real and an appropriate fit with our commitment to bring more
sustainable biofuels to the market more quickly."
The initial
phase of the strategic alliance utilizes Verenium's advanced technology
for cellulosic ethanol production as the platform for a joint
development effort between BP and Verenium. The companies have formed a
Special Purpose Entity (SPE) that is equally owned by BP and Verenium
and will license existing intellectual property from each company and
own jointly-developed intellectual property in the field of cellulosic
ethanol production. All intellectual property owned prior to the
formation of the SPE will be retained by each respective
company.
Further, the
SPE will serve as the licensing entity to enable all cellulosic ethanol
production projects.
The financial
terms of this initial phase of the strategic alliance
include:
-
$45
million, payable in three
over
the next twelve months, for broad access to Verenium's
cellulosic ethanol technology platform, production facilities,
and employee
scientific
knowledge and expertise
. At
closing, Verenium will receive
-
$2.5
million per month to co-fund Verenium's various scientific and
technical initiatives within the cellulosic ethanol field. The
companies' joint efforts in the field will be directed by a
Joint Development Agreement
Beyond the
initial phase of this alliance, the companies expect to negotiate a
second phase of the relationship focused on the development of a Joint
Venture (
to
accelerate the commercial deployment of the technologies from the SPE
into commercial-scale cellulosic ethanol production facilities. While
the primary
will be on
facilities jointly-owned
also be
licensable to third-party commercial projects. It is the companies'
intention to negotiate and finalize this second phase of the strategic
alliance, including incremental financial terms for co-funding the
JV

Cellulosic
ethanol is a renewable fuel source produced from biomass-derived
products such as sugarcane waste (bagasse), switchgrass, rice straw and
wood chips. Cellulose, a long-chain polysaccharide found in nearly all
plant life, is the most abundant molecule on
earth.
Cellulosic
ethanol uses advanced biological science to reduce the cost of ethanol
production and enable access to a wide variety of biomass. Unlike
traditional ethanol manufactured from corn cellulosic ethanol
production utilizes non-food, plant biomass as its feedstock source.
The biomass is first broken down into fermentable sugars using acid or
enzymatic hydrolysis and industrial enzymes, after which the sugars are
fermented into ethanol using various fermentation organisms. Ethanol
produced from cellulosic biomass is believed to have many benefits over
first-generation ethanol including, the use of non-food feedstock,
substantially greater yield than grain ethanol per acre of feedstock,
minimal exposure to volatile commodity price risks across the
production process and a more favorable environmental
impact.
It also offers
the potential to deliver significant greenhouse gas emission reductions
of 80-90% compared to grain ethanol at GHG emission reductions of
0-70%.
The production
of cellulosic ethanol in the
is
supported by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, which
mandates
advanced
biofuel production
of which 16
billion gallons must come from cellulosic ethanol
Verenium
Corporation is a leader in the development and commercialization of
next-generation cellulosic ethanol, an environmentally-friendly and
renewable transportation fuel, as well as high-performance specialty
enzymes for applications within the alternative fuels, specialty
industrial processes, and animal nutrition and health markets. The
Company possesses integrated, end-to-end capabilities in pre-treatment,
novel enzyme development, fermentation, engineering, and project
development and is moving rapidly to commercialize its proprietary
technology for the production of ethanol from a wide array of
cellulosic feedstocks, including dedicated energy crops, sugarcane
bagasse, agricultural waste, and wood products.
In addition to
the vast potential for biofuels, a multitude of large-scale industrial
opportunities exist for the Company relating to products derived from
the production of low-cost, biomass-derived
sugars.
Verenium's
Specialty Enzyme business harnesses the power of enzymes to create a
broad range of specialty products to meet high-value commercial
needs.
Verenium's
world class R&D organization is renowned for its capabilities in
the rapid screening, identification, and expression of enzymes-proteins
that act as the catalysts of biochemical
reactions.
