Biomass-to-Oil Process From Honeywell's Envergent Technologies Selected by
Italian Company for Renewable Power Production
Industria e Innovazione will pursue Europe's first RTP(R) pyrolysis unit to
convert woody biomass to pyrolysis oil for use in power generation

DES PLAINES, Ill., Nov. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Envergent Technologies
LLC, a Honeywell (NYSE: HON) company, announced today that Italian power
company Industria e Innovazione has selected the Envergent RTP® rapid thermal
processing technology for the development of a facility to convert biomass
into pyrolysis oil for renewable power generation.

Industria e Innovazione and Envergent have signed an agreement to pursue
development of an RTP facility to convert a mix of pine forest residues and
clean demolition wood into pyrolysis oil, a liquid biofuel. The facility will
be designed to process around 150 bone-dry metric tons per day of biomass to
pyrolysis oil for the generation of renewable electricity.

Envergent will provide engineering for the facility which is projected for
start-up in 2012.

"This project marks an important milestone for renewable power generation in
Europe," said Mark Reno, managing director of Envergent Technologies. "A unit
at Industria e Innovazione would represent a new energy option for the region
that would utilize readily-available biomass residuals while offering a
reduced carbon footprint."

"Compared to traditional biomass combustion technologies, RTP offers several
advantages, including improved efficiency in power production, lower costs and
a lower environmental impact," said Federico Caporale, CEO of Industria e
Innovazione.

The RTP process works by rapidly heating biomass such as wood chips or straw
at ambient pressure to generate high yields of pourable, liquid pyrolysis oil.
This oil can then be burned for energy in industrial burners and furnaces for
heat or used to generate electricity. Envergent Technologies is also focused
on development and commercialization of technology to further refine pyrolysis
oil into renewable transportation fuels like green gasoline, green diesel and
green jet fuel, and plans to have the technology available for license by
2012.

Envergent Technologies is a joint venture of UOP and Ensyn Corp. It combines
nearly 100 years of refining and process technology development from UOP, a
Honeywell company, and more than 25 years of pyrolysis technology experience
from Ensyn Corp. RTP is currently in use in seven commercial biomass
processing plants in the U.S. and Canada.

Ensyn is a world leader for the production of pyrolysis oil from biomass and
has more than 20 years of commercial experience with its RTP technology. It
produces pyrolysis oil for various natural chemical and fuel products in seven
commercial biomass plants in the US and Canada.

Honeywell's UOP is a leading international supplier and licensor of process
technology, catalysts, adsorbents, process plants, and consulting services to
the petroleum refining, petrochemical, and gas processing industries. It has
been active in the development and licensing of renewable fuel technologies
since 2006 and currently offers technology for the production of green diesel
fuel and green jet fuel.
