1 DETAILS FROM THE IEAGHG U.S. DOE REPORT ON THE SASKPOWER BOUNDARY DAM POWER STATION INTEGRATED CCS PROJECT Carolyn K Preston, Principal Consultant, CKP & Associates Consulting, Calgary, Canada

2 SaskPower Shares Its Story With the World August 2015

3 ABOUT SASKPOWER

4 SASKPOWER S GENERATING CAPACITY

5 SASKPOWER S COAL FLEET Unit Date Actual (Nominal) MW BD (75) BD (75) BD (150) BD (150) BD (150) BD (300) PR (300) PR (300) Shand (300)

6 SETTING THE CONTEXT

7 SASKATCHEWAN S GDP BY SECTOR TOTAL GDP FOR SASKATCHEWAN in 2014 = C$60.1 Billion Source: Statistics Canada, 2007 Dollars

8 SASKATCHEWAN S GHG EMISSIONS TOTAL GHG EMISSIONS FOR SASKATCHEWAN in 2012 = 74.8 Mega Tonnes CO 2 e Source: Environment Canada

9 CANADA S POWER GENERATION TOTAL ELECTRICITY GENERATED IN CANADA in 2013 = TWh Courtesy of the Canadian Electricity Association

10 CANADA S GHG EMISSIONS TOTAL GHG EMISSIONS IN CANADA in 2012 = 699 Mega Tonnes CO 2 e Source: Environment Canada National Report,

11 CANADA S GHG REGULATIONS Performance Standard: 420 tonnes per GWh End-of-Life: Commissioned before 1975 = December 2019 Commissioned after 1974 but before 1986 = December 2029 Commissioned in or after 1986 = 50 years of age Anticipated Cumulative Reduction by 2036 is 214 MT CO 2 e Effective July 1, 2015

12 ANTICIPATED CANADIAN COAL FLEET REDUCTION FROM 2007 ONWARD Retirement age as per the 2015 Canadian GHG Regulations. Includes Ontario voluntary coal power plant shutdown by Courtesy of the Canadian Electricity Association

13 ANTICIPATED NO X AND SO 2 REDUCTIONS Courtesy of the Canadian Electricity Association

14 THE KEY INGREDIENTS

15 A REMARKABLE PIONEER No available commercial technology for carbon capture at the scale of coal-fired power generation

16 A TECHNOLOGY FOUNDATION SaskPower s Investments from : Carbon Capture Geological Storage

17 SASKPOWER S INVESTMENT TIMELINE

18 A SUPPORTIVE SHAREHOLDER Strategic funding Public acceptance

19 A COMMITTED TEAM Customer focused Business oriented Tirelessly dedicated No nonsense, goal driven

20 THE CHALLENGES

21 TECHNOLOGY CHOICE Pre-Combustion Capture? Post-Combustion Capture? Alternative Power Generation (e.g. Oxyfuel combustion)? No commercial technology available

22 MANAGING RISK Process and equipment redundancy to manage technology risk Associated higher first-time commercialization costs Cost of performance uncertainty

23 CONSTRUCTION TIMING High level of oil and gas activity (esp. oil sands) High competition for materials and labour in Western Canada Cost control through multiple vendors and hands-on management

24 STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT Keep technology options open for an extended period Third-party review Build technology confidence

25 THE BUSINESS CASE

26 Figure 13 IMPORTANCE OF BY-PRODUCTS

27 EOR POTENTIAL IN SASKATCHEWAN

28 ILLUSTRATIVE COMPARISONS December 2010

29 NGCC vs. BD3 ICCS December 2010

30 GETTING IT DONE

31 GO-NO GO DECISION FUNNEL FOR BOUNDARY DAM UNIT 3

32 SELECTION CRITERIA Technology maturity Technical performance needs Commercial cost Lifecycle cost of electricity Capability to capture 90% CO 2 from stack Operational flexibility Acceptable technical and financial risk Comparable to alternatives

33 POWER PLANT RETROFIT Boiler rebuild New high-efficiency turbine Integration with Capture Plant

35 MANAGING THE DETAILS Construction Management Change Management Safety Management Risk Management Permitting Knowledge Building Onboarding and Training Unfamiliar Processes and Equipment Transition to Operation

36 THE LEARNINGS

37 BE FOCUSED Priority #1 Stable, Cost-effective Power Supply Priority #2 Carbon Capture and By-Products

38 BE BOLD Choose a technology sufficiently close to commercial viability to be successful

39 BE ENERGIZED BY CHALLENGES The team navigated many changes such as equipment choices, corporate policy changes, construction hurdles, third-party review

40 BE COMMITTED They were overworked but determined to deliver as promised

41 BE SAFE During the 4.5 million person hours of construction time there were no lost-time injuries

43 A WORLD S FIRST

44 A 161 MW COAL-FIRED POWER STATION INTEGRATED WITH CCS

45 THE C$1.467 BILLION INVESTMENT

46 GEOLOGICAL STORAGE

47 GEOLOGICAL STORAGE Construct a new CO 2 pipeline to transport approx tonnes per day to geologically sequester GHGs at: Weyburn CO 2 -EOR flood and SaskPower Carbon Storage and Research Centre (hosts Aquistore)
