| I hope everyone will take a look at the corporate investor presentation on our website, which lays out the enormous upside potential that we see and why now is such an exciting and pivotal time |
| Now, we are quite excited about Net-Zero 1, in fact, even more excited |
| We also continue to see strong support for carbon abatement in states with New Mexico becoming the fourth state to sign into law a clean fuel standard just this week |
| And we really, I feel pretty good about where we are and I like what I see on the Argonne GREET |
| I think when you start to peel back the layers, the company is in a substantially, very strong financial position and balance sheet |
| I am pleased that we have generated positive standalone non-GAAP cash EBITDA from those assets for two consecutive quarters now |
| It's a good result |
| This is a success for the second largest oil and gas producing state in the country as well as other states interested in creating similar programs |
| So I think we're in a good spot overall |
| The knowledge, technology, intellectual property we have gained through the work on NZ1, I expect would benefit way beyond NZ1 |
| We have been pleased to see the progress on 40B in the future 45Z and the federal support for carbon abatement in the IRA bill |
| Let me wrap up our prepared remarks by saying we believe Gevo was undervalued given our balance sheet and growth potential |
| So that's an exciting thing |
| Of course, that is something that's a pure upside |
| Between RNG and Verity growth, we continue to close in on positive cash flow for the company |
| Gevo's Q4 combined revenue and interest income was $9.4 million with the interest income benefiting from higher interest rates |
| We've already seen improvements from farmers and they're excited by it |
| So the market dynamics are strongly in our favour to reuse and repeat the knowledge-based assets we've built up in development of our NZ1 business model |
| That's good for all of us in terms of the 45Z |
| I like this a lot, there's a lot of upside potential that's just embedded in it and I'm glad we have the asset |
| Well, that's what we've achieved, we believe |
| That's what creates the opportunity |
| Paul Bloom was with Secretary of Agriculture Vilsack and EPA Administrator Reagan when they announced last week that it will take a few weeks longer for the next generation of that guidance to come out, but they are keen on making sure that it's going to work in the long run and we think that's a good outcome |
| As Pat mentioned, we ended the fourth quarter of 2023 with a strong liquidity position of $375.6 million in cash, restricted cash, and other liquid investments |
| We expect that there will be lots of opportunity to leverage our knowledge, know-how, capability, technology to produce higher value low carbon ethanol and SAF over time |
| All of this should result in a competitively priced product for customers and less burden on consumers and taxpayers |
| And what's interesting about it as the database builds, I think there'll be opportunities for AI, particularly with farmers, so that they can see how to improve their fields |
| Well, that's good, that plays to our variety business |
| There is a lot of embedded upside potential with this asset |
| Verity is a capital light fee-based software as a service business so it's a nice complement to NZ1, Net-Zero 1, which is more capital intensive |

| In the third and fourth quarter of last year, we had McKinsey in here working with us to challenge our assumptions, competitive position, competitive economics, and such |
| And then there is a question of financiers where they say, they hear so much noise about all these different technologies, it's confusing for them |
| I'm glad to clarify some of these things that have been confusing |
| So I expect that people will be a little bit confused about that |
