  1. Bioethanol in Brazil – a norwegian experience BNCC 4 November 2008

  2. Global energy outlookA radical change in the energy chain • The world must move from a global energy system that is: • To a competitive energy future based on new policies on : VULNERABLE DIRTY EXPENSIVE ENERGY EFFICIENCY RENEWABLES NUCLEAR • Government action creates incentives to change existing investment patterns • There is no single economically and technologically feasible solution – only a mix • Biofuels is an important part of the mix (Source: IEA World Energy Outlook 2006 and UNEP 2007)

  3. Core knowledge • A significant part of the world’s fuel consumption will come from sustainable biofuels • Sustainable biodiesel and bioethanol provide energy security and climate change mitigation • Sugarcane is by far the most efficient feedstock for bioethanol • Highest land and energy efficiency due to efficient photosynthesis • Largest reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, generally 80% relative to emissions from fossil fuels • Brazil is currently the lowest cost producer of sugarcane ethanol in the world • Vast territorial expanse • Favorable climate • Technological, agricultural and industrially developed with high competency level • No direct conflicts • The domestic market in Brazil is already well established – export potential increasing • Increasing demand from growing flex-fuel car fleet • Infrastructure for export developing • Umoe BioEnergy is an integrated bioethanol company with growth ambitions • Value chain secured – land positions and agri-industrial assets • Production start-up in 2008 and expansion in 2009/10 • Strategic growth opportunities COMPANY PRESENTATION 3

  4. Biofuels – transportation fuel derived from biomass • Liquid or gas transportation fuel derived from biomass • Automotive transport the most common use • Cost, energy efficiency and carbon footprint varies among different technologies and biomass • Bioethanol and biodiesel are the most common biofuels • Ethanol is currently accounting for more than 90% of total biofuel usage • BIOETHANOL • Production process based on conversion of biomass into sugars, and/or fermentation of carbon sugars with final distillation of ethanol to fuel grade • Feedstocks includes cereal crops, corn (maize), sugar cane, sugar beets, potatoes, sorghum, cassava • Ethanol is used in low 5%-10% blends with gasoline (E5, E10) but also as E-85 in flex-fuel vehicles (gasoline must contain a minimum of 22% bioethanol in Brazil) • BIODIESEL • Production is based on trans-esterification of vegetable oils and fats through the addition of methanol (or other alcohols) and a catalyst, giving glycerol as a co-product • Feedstock includes rapeseeds, sunflower seeds, soy seeds, palm oil seeds from which the oil is extracted chemically or mechanically and algae • Biodiesel is currently most often used in 5%-20% blends (B5, B20) with conventional diesel, or even in pure B100 form Source: IEA Energy Technology Essentials, January 07 COMPANY PRESENTATION

  5. Sugar cane ethanol essentials • Cost winner among current biofuels • Economically viable >40 $/bbl oil • High land efficiency • The most land efficient biomass for bioethanol • ~50 % more efficient than US corn • High energy efficiency • One of the plant kingdom’s most efficient photosynthesis • By far the most energy efficient feedstock for bioethanol • Energy output/input ratio 9,3 • Sustainable at right location • No direct conflicts • Provide energy security • Renewable • Land and energy efficient • Significant GHG reduction • The largest reduction in CO2 among biofuels • 75-90% well-to-wheels compared to gasoline COMPANY PRESENTATION

  7. Sugar caneThe leading product in terms of production cost • By far the most efficient feedstock when it comes to production costs • Import barriers through local subsidies and import tariffs for Brazilian produced ethanol apply in US and in Europe. COMPANY PRESENTATION

  8. Sugar caneThe leading product in terms of land efficiency -52.3% -60.0% COMPANY PRESENTATION

  9. Sugar caneBy far the most energy efficient feedstock Sugarcane ethanol 8.0-9.0 vs. US corn ethanol 1.5-1.8 COMPANY PRESENTATION

  11. Why sugar cane ethanol from Brazil? • Economically, socially and environmentally sustainable transportation fuel • Cost competitive in a growing fuel market • No direct conflicts with food, water or biodiversity • Particularly energy and land efficient feedstock utilizing renewable solar energy • Significant greenhouse gas emissions reduction • Unique production environment in tropical Brazil, in a well established industry COMPANY PRESENTATION

  12. Brazil has stabilised politically and economically • More than 20 years of military rule ended in 1985 • A new constitution was ratified in 1988 • The government of Fernando Henrique Cardoso (1995-2002) • Ended hyperinflation and advanced reforms to liberalise the economy • But public-debt indicators deteriorated amid low economic growth • The current government, under the president, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva • Has been successful in consolidating macroeconomic stability • Stepping up social spending • Implementation of deeper reforms needed to accelerate growth COMPANY PRESENTATION Source: The Economist Intelligence Unit, August 2008

  13. Hyperinflation Massive shortages Financial turmoil Low capital inflow Devaluation of the real in 1999 Heavy and complex tax burdens Underdeveloped bank structure and little opportunity to manage risks locally Little investments in infrastructure By 2001-02, the economy was stable but hibernate, at the same time as inflation again threatened… Declined interest rates and rising market competition acts as defense against inflation Economy resistant to turbulence due to structural demand and focus on commodities Reduced public debt and regained investment-grade status High capital inflow Program of large infrastructure investments Economic reforms and sound macroeconomic policies Relaxation of restrictions on investment Local and international banks increase presence New equity and debt issues expected M&A activity Increased focus on environment and sustainability A changing business environment in BrazilThe emergence of a new private market economy NEW PARADIGMS OLD PARADIGMS Source: The Economist Intelligence Unit, August 2008, McKinsey, Newsweek, CIA, UN

  14. Brazilian economy accelerating without overheating • South America's leading economic power • Macroeconomic outlook of 4-5 percent GDP growth • A floating exchange rate, an inflation-targeting regime, and a tight fiscal policy are the three pillars of the present economic program • Expanding presence in world markets • Vast natural resources and a large labor pool • Industrial and agricultural growth and development • Large and well-developed agricultural, mining, manufacturing, and service sectors • Fiscal problems persist, preventing a steeper decline in interest rates • Public debt remains high at around 41.2% of GDP Source: The Economist Intelligence Unit, August 2008 and McKinsey COMPANY PRESENTATION

  15. Brazil offers sustainable bioethanol production BRAZIL’S VAST TERRITORIAL EXPANSE Arable land of 550 million ha equates to 33 countries in Europe Only 22 % of available arable land is utilized Forest preservation requirements of 20-30% • No direct conflicts with food; rainforests; water; biodiversity • The most productive land areas in the world for sugar cane production • Resource rich – sun, water and high yield arable land • Longer harvest cycles • Greater cane production per hectare • Brazilians sugar cane has higher sugar content • Capable of expanding sugarcane operations multiple times • Highest cane crop competence • Established domestic industry and market for ethanol production and consumption • Increasing demand from growing domestic flex-fuel car fleet • Infrastructure developing – export potential increasing Source: Infoamricas, MB Agro COMPANY PRESENTATION 15

  16. Brazil is the world’s leading sugarcane producer • 2007/2008 harvest 487Mtons from 350 plants • Of which 250 were combined mills and distilleries and 100 pure play ethanol • Sugarcane cultivation covers 7.8M ha, 2.3% of domestic arable land • Less than 50% of this goes to ethanol, rest become sugar. • Sugarcane is grown mainly in South-Central and North-easthern regions, with two different harvest periodes • South-Central 85% of production • Sao Paulo > 60% of production • Sugar mills in Brazil are becoming power/electricity self-sufficient • Re-use of bagasse new power source for electricty supply • Industry developed over the last 30 years • Continual technological improvements SUGARCANE PRODUCING REGIONS IN BRAZIL Areas marked in red indicate where sugarcane is harvested and sugar, ethanol and bioelectricity plants are located.
