Evry, France - May 10, 2016 - Global Bioenergies (Alternext Paris: ALGBE) announces that the performance obtained in 2015 at laboratory scale has now been successfully reproduced in the pilot unit installed in Pomacle-Bazancourt (eastern France).

During the last fermentation-trial series, up to 74% of commercial target yield has been achieved.

In addition, a high yield (higher than 65% of target) was maintained over several days.

Strong robustness of the process is a key parameter for exploitation at larger scale.

Global Bioenergies' Isobutene process is the first-of-a-kind technology to directly produce a gas by fermentation.

These results factually demonstrate that the process scales up very well at this stage.

The demo plant, presently under construction in Germany, will allow running the technology at ton scale within months.

Marc Delcourt, co-founder and CEO of Global Bioenergies, concludes:

"While our technology comes closer to commercial performances, the oil market is now swinging back.

"Innovative solutions to produce fuels and materials are more necessary today than ever.

"Global Bioenergies is getting prepared to play an important role in the transition of the energy and chemistry worlds toward technologies more friendly to the environment."
