  1. Energy for a low-carbon economy 11 November 2010 Presentation by Ernst Venter Executive General Manager Business Growth

  2. Contents • South African context • The changing energy environment • Exxaro’s response • Energy and carbon management programme • Energy business • Exxaro’s contribution to national objectives • Road ahead

  3. South African context Government objectives for economic growth Six key sectors and activities: Infrastructure expansion Agriculture and agro-processing Mining and mineral beneficiation Green economy and associated services Manufacturing sectors identified in IPAP Tourism and selected services sectors 5 million jobs by 2020

  4. The energy environment within our economy is changing To: Energy constrained From: Energy oversupply

  5. The energy environment within our economy is changing To: Rising electricity prices From: Cheap electricity

  6. The energy environment within our economy is changing To: Carbon constrained From: Carbon intensive MtCO2e/a

  7. Exxaro developed a strategic response to this changing environment Analysis of business environment • Existing businesses • Energy security • Carbon footprint • Improving energy efficiency • Carbon offsets Energy Supply Shortage + Business response: Prepare for a low-carbon, energy constrained future • Business growth opportunity • Base load IPP • Renewable energy • Energy and carbon trading Develop portfolio of energy projects Energy Price Pressure + Specific strategies have been developed to drive implementation of our response Carbon Constrained Future

  8. Exxaro developed a strategic response to this changing environment Analysis of business environment • Existing businesses • Energy security • Carbon footprint • Improving energy efficiency • Carbon offsets Energy Supply Shortage + Business response: Prepare for a low-carbon, energy constrained future • Business growth opportunity • Base load IPP • Renewable energy • Energy and carbon trading Develop portfolio of energy projects Energy Price Pressure + Carbon Constrained Future

  9. Energy and carbon management strategy Sustainability reporting Low carbon economy Mitigation opportunities and clean technologies Energy efficiency management drive • FUTURE INTENT • Thrive in low carbon economy • Pre-empt legislation • Improve competitive intelligence • Participate in • Clean Energy • Renewable resources • Carbon trading • Co-generation • Brand, image & perception Environmental regulatory environment Energy procurement • CURRENT REALITY • High carbon economy • Reactive to legislation • Identified threat & commitment • Part of third world – huge window of opportunity • High level management commitment • Energy strategy

  10. The EXCO pledges its support for the Energy and Carbon Management programme and reconfirms the commitment to improve energy efficiency by 10% and reduce our carbon emissions with a similar 10% by 2012 2010… An Excopledge reconfirms Exxaro to improved energy efficiency and reduction of carbon emissions The business planning process will cascade this target to practical objectives at each BU The Energy & Carbon Management Strategy These targets will be included in the EGM and BU Managers’ performance contracts

  11. While implementing our strategy, we have made significant progress... Some of our key successes are the: • Development and implementation of data processes for effective and efficient reporting • Eskom electricity baselines developed (PCP readiness) • Energy efficiency champions appointed at all business units • Increased awareness on energy efficiency at business units • Development and implementation of capital project guidelines • Ownership of energy efficiency at business units through clear role definition and empowerment of individuals • CDP developed and good exposure received

  12. We have achieved tangible successes • Design of Grootegeluk Medupi Expansion Project: • Approximately 29% more energy efficient • Zero effluent coal beneficiation • Eco-friendly housing reducing carbon emissions by 60% • Co-generation plant at Namakwa Sands smelter in final stages of feasibility to bring about 17% saving in energy and carbon emissions • Biodiesel tests successfully conducted at Leeuwpan mine, being followed up with a full concept study

  13. Exxaro developed a strategic response to this changing environment Analysis of business environment • Existing businesses • Energy security • Carbon footprint • Improving energy efficiency • Carbon offsets Energy Supply Shortage + Business response: Prepare for a low-carbon, energy constrained future • Business growth opportunity • Base load IPP • Renewable Energy • Energy and carbon trading Develop portfolio of energy projects Energy Price Pressure + Carbon Constrained Future

  14. Exxaro Energy’s vision • Exxaro Energy’s strategy is based on Exxaro’s view that there is a business opportunity in the Southern African energy environment. Exxaro Energy’s vision is to: Become the leading cleaner energy Independent Power Producer in Southern Africa

  15. Exxaro is developing a portfolio of energy projects

  16. Exxaro’s contribution to national objectives Government objectives for economic growth Six key sectors and activities: Infrastructure expansion Agriculture and agro-processing Mining and mineral beneficiation Green economy and associated services Manufacturing sectors identified in IPAP Tourism and selected services sectors 5 million jobs by 2020

  17. The road ahead • Government • Finalisation of IRP2010 • Implementation of REFIT programme • Establishment of a COFIT programme • Creation of friendly environment for IPPs through: • Establishment of an Independent System and Market Operator (ISMO) • Support for bilateral energy agreements • Friendly grid access and wheeling regulations • Practical support to industry for achievement of New Growth Plan Exxaro • Inspirational leadership through meaningful advocacy, facilitation and commitment • Ongoing focus on improving energy efficiency of operations • Reducing our carbon footprint and offsetting the balance • Successful establishment of a cleaner energy business and implementation of energy projects For sustainable energy security in Southern Africa
