Letter from the CEO

The global energy paradigm is undergoing a profound shift. At SynSel, we stand at the vanguard of what is increasingly recognized as the Transitional Fuels Revolution—an inflection point in the energy economy that is giving rise to a New Energy Order.

Recent policy discourse has placed select green technologies under scrutiny. The Trump administration has, at times, dismissed segments of the renewables sector as part of a "New Green Scam," leading to shifting momentum in the energy transition. Technologies once heralded as inevitable—such as electric vehicles and green hydrogen—have encountered resistance, both from market dynamics and infrastructural inertia.

Meanwhile, biofuels have emerged as an unanticipated but symbiotic partner to the legacy petroleum sector, bridging the technological chasm between the carbon-based energy infrastructure of the present and the renewable imperative of the future.

This realignment is not arbitrary; it is structural. The internal combustion engine (ICE) remains the foundation of global transportation, and in this evolving energy landscape, biofuels and fossil fuels share not only a technological heritage but a common counterpoint—electrification.

In alignment with this paradigm shift, SynSel has forged a strategic partnership with a leading oil and gas developer to integrate advanced biofuel solutions into the broader fossil fuel ecosystem. Our initial focus is the rail transport sector, where diesel locomotives, long considered irreplaceable due to their energy density requirements, will transition to drop-in renewable diesel synthesized from high-value wood mill waste streams.

Moreover, SynSel is positioning itself at the nexus of another transformative industry—the artificial intelligence (AI) data center expansion. As AI-driven economies scale, data centers are seeking stranded natural gas reserves as a decentralized, cost-effective energy source, circumventing reliance on traditional electric and gas utilities. However, one critical component remains reliant on diesel: backup power generation. SynSel provides a viable decarbonization pathway by enabling these facilities to operate their standby generators on our next-generation synthetic diesel, derived through our state-of-the-art wood mill waste-to-fuel process.

A New Framework for Energy Integration

To facilitate the seamless integration of biofuels within the legacy fossil fuel sector, SynSel has established itself as a premier biorefinery developer and supplier of low-carbon diesel solutions for both rail infrastructure and data center energy resiliency. In recognition of this strategic role, SynSel has formalized a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with a leading oil and gas developer, securing a pivotal position in an AI Data Center Campus in North Dakota.

To operationalize this vision, green diesel will be transported via dedicated rail corridors from key production nodes in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan—regions that will serve as both green refinery hubs and economic catalysts for distressed communities. As we optimize biomass feedstock diversification, our process will expand to incorporate slash waste biomass, a largely untapped residual output of commercial logging operations. This surplus biomass will be transported to North Dakota, where it will undergo advanced refining at an integrated petroleum rail depot, enabling scalability and sector-wide adoption.

SynSel's Foundational Commitment to Community Resiliency

At the core of SynSel's mission is a steadfast commitment to Community Resiliency—an ethos that ensures economic, environmental, and infrastructural sustainability are deeply interwoven. Our approach is predicated on:

• Catalyzing self-sustaining economic revitalization in historically distressed regions

• Enhancing long-term energy security and workforce resilience

• Developing scalable green technologies that align with existing industrial infrastructure

As the global energy transition unfolds, governmental incentives aimed at decarbonization and domestic job creation are accelerating capital deployment into the synthetic fuels sector. While electrification continues to capture investment interest, the fundamental reality remains: internal combustion engines will persist for decades, and decarbonizing legacy fleets through advanced biofuels presents a more immediate, pragmatic, and scalable solution.

In parallel, as climate volatility and geopolitical instability disrupt supply chains, the imperative for localized, diversified fuel production has never been greater. The integration of biorefining into legacy petroleum logistics represents a strategic inflection point—one that transcends conventional energy debates in favor of an economically viable, scientifically sound, and policy-aligned model for sustainable fuel evolution.

The Future of Energy is Intelligent Convergence

One SynSel biorefinery at a time, we are redefining what is possible at the intersection of technology, policy, and market pragmatism. Our mission is to:

• Strengthen national energy sovereignty through domestic fuel innovation

• Reduce carbon emissions without requiring disruptive fleet transitions

• Enhance wildfire risk mitigation through scalable biomass utilization

• Advance scientific discovery and workforce education in renewable fuel technologies

• Foster economic revitalization through green industrial infrastructure

The next chapter of the energy transition is not a binary contest between fossil fuels and renewables—it is an intelligent convergence of both. SynSel is leading that transformation.
