  1. Carbon Capture and StorageScottish / Norwegian Collaboration Scottish European Green Energy Centre Study Visit to Norway October 2008

  2. ScottishPower / Iberdrola combined April 2007 to become one of the largest global energy companies Operating in over 40 countries More than 27 million customers 42GW of installed capacity The global leader in renewable energy (8GW) Leading nuclear operator in Spain - potential investor in UK 2nd wind company 3rd player in gas storage One of the six largest generator / retailers 1st wind company 1st private producer in Mexico 1st distributor in Brazil Main energy company ScottishPower is now part of Iberdrola, a world leader in energy The combined group has a clear focus on clean, sustainable energy provision UKCCS/003/001 - PRE098 - SEGEC Norway Visit - SP ACC Collaboration - 13 Oct 08.ppt

  3. Our coal plants have a vital role to play in UK’s energy future Longannet • Opted in LCPD. £170m investment secures plant to 2015 • Turbine blade upgrade • Developing options for the future • First UK plant to burn biomass / WDF • 20-25MW dedicated biomass plant planned for site • Benchmarked operational performance 2,304 MW Installed capacity 4 x 576 MW No of units 1970 Operational date Fife Location 320 Employees Cockenzie 1,152 MW • Opted out LCPD • Exploring options for future generation at Cockenzie site • Burning biomass up to 5% • Flexibility in Balancing Market Installed capacity 4 x 288 MW No of units 1967 Operational date East Lothian Location 150 Employees UKCCS/003/001 - PRE098 - SEGEC Norway Visit - SP ACC Collaboration - 13 Oct 08.ppt

  4. We are responding to emerging policy signals that continued use of coal will require CCS • Capture • Active in numerous carbon capture technology development projects • Focus on post combustion as this is best suited to pulverised coal plant • Transport • Scottish CO2 Infrastructure Study in conjunction with the Scottish Government and industry partners • Storage • Assessing local/interim storage in aquifers under the Firth of Forth • Exploring potential for enhanced coal bed methane production • Using established relationships with oil/gas field operators to develop options for storage in the North Sea • UK CCS Demo Competition • One of four prequalified bidders and now engaged in the Competition Process UKCCS/003/001 - PRE098 - SEGEC Norway Visit - SP ACC Collaboration - 13 Oct 08.ppt

  5. Success in the UK CCS Competition requires multi-national cooperation • Aker Group has a over 27,000 employees on five continents • 17 years of CO2 capture expertise being used to accelerate the commercialisation of this technology • Has a delivery model with expertise across the entire CCS chain • Clear development roadmap, including £20m investment in “SOLVit” programme • 4th largest integrated oil & gas company in the US • Ability to establish mutually beneficial long-term relationships • Extensive offshore production expertise to develop the capability in CCS for deployment elsewhere • Options for CO2 storage and life extension of existing North Sea assets • Part of the World’s 4th largest energy group • Extensive experience in major capital project delivery and plant operations • Strategic commitment to coal to provide secure and flexible energy supplies • Committed to making Scotland its Global Centre of Excellence for Clean Coal A consortium with the required mix of expertise and knowledge to successfully develop a commercial scale CCS project UKCCS/003/001 - PRE098 - SEGEC Norway Visit - SP ACC Collaboration - 13 Oct 08.ppt

  6. We aim to exploit “some of the best potential for CO2 storage in the world” • Central North Sea benefits • Fields and infrastructure that have the potential for reuse for CO2 storage • History of handling high CO2 content oil and gas • Geology particularly suitable for long-term CO2 storage • Range of options using both hydrocarbon reservoirs and aquifers relatively close to the UK and Norway • Seizing the opportunity • Need to agree common arrangements for managing cross-boundary issues and access to storage • Exploiting complementary skills through international collaboration • Government intervention to ‘kick-start’ a CO2 transportation and storage network UKCCS/003/001 - PRE098 - SEGEC Norway Visit - SP ACC Collaboration - 13 Oct 08.ppt
