4 Wood pellets an Ideal Fuel Source Pulpwood Mill residuals Harvesting residues Benefits of forest-based feedstock Plentiful, renewable resource Mature industry supply chains Requires minimal irrigation, fertilization Ideal combustion characteristics Benefits of pelletizing Efficient, cost-effective bulk transport Low moisture content = >BTU value Adaptable for use at coal-fired facilities Stringent specs = reliable performance 4
5 Pellet Feedstocks Forest harvesting Mill residuals Sawlogs Highest value, must be large and straight Wood Chips Highest value residuals, often used in pulp industry Pulpwood/ Thinnings Low value, can be random size and shape Sawdust Lower value, often used on site in kilns or biomass boilers Residues No value, waste product if no market, can be expensive to process Dry Shavings Requires minimal processing, readily adaptable for pellets 5
6 Wood Pellet Manufacturing Process Feedstock delivery Woodyard storage Debarker Chipper Woodchip Screen Dryer Hammer mills Pellet mills Storage Load-out facility 6

12 Business Strategy Changing the Way Energy is Generated, Supplied and Used for a Better Future OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE INNOVATION Capitalise on safe, reliable, flexible operations Leverage cost effective solutions and identify operational efficiencies Dedicate capital to improvement projects Leverage benefits of multiple assets and location for operational efficiencies and innovations INCREASE SELF-SUPPLY TO AT LEAST 30% GROWTH COMMUNICATING OUR VISION Identify opportunities to add capacity to portfolio Capitalise on synergy benefits of self and third party supply Utilize stable earnings profile with long-term offtake contract Increase capacity at existing plants Expand portfolio of assets through acquisitions New markets and expansion (Japan and Europe) Economic Development = Community Development Sustainable managed forests are healthy forests Delivering low carbon, renewable energy 12
13 Good for the Grid 13
14 Good for Customers Utilizes existing grid infrastructure Reduces risk of stranded assets Offers alternative to costly pollution control upgrades Provides cost-competitive complement to wind and solar 14
15 Sustainability is Core to Our Business Our objectives: Meet regulatory requirements for us and our customers Provide evidence of sustainable forest management Deliver qualified Greenhouse Gas savings Our approach: Competent, experienced procurement team Dedicated Sustainability Manager Audit program for onsite operations Independent audit by 3 rd party, SCS Our certifications: Sustainable Biomass Partnership (SBP) certification SFI Certified Sourcing SFI, PEFC TM, FSC Chain of Custody 15
16 Our Approach Pellet-fueled bioenergy offers a cost-effective, reliable and low-carbon alternative to coal Drax has successfully transformed into a predominantly biomass-fueled generator and we stand ready to do more Drax Biomass Inc. has the technical expertise, capacity and sustainability practices to support future investment in bioenergy 16
