6 Corporate Targets

7 So how is facing into this context? Then Our operational 2020 targets Such has been the success of our DoingMoreWithLess campaign, we ve revised our targets 5 years ahead of our original 2020 deadline! Our 2020 targets Cumulative Progress to 2016 Cumulative Net Reduction to 2016 CARBON FOOTPRINT REDUCTION 30% 23.21% 199,918 Tonnes WASTE TO LANDFILL ZERO 92.92% 85,632 Tonnes WATER CONSUMPTION REDUCTION 50% 42.54% 7,386,667 Metres 3 ENERGY CONSUMPTION REDUCTION 40% 20.05% 1,100 Giga Watt Hours. (All vs 2008 base levels)

8 Abattoir Process Product Hierarchy 1. Meat for human consumption develop products and markets 2. Convert to edible co-products, Oleochemical and Pharmaceutical 3. Pet foods 4. Category 3 Animal By-products (Offal/Bone) 5. Category 2 Animal By-products manure, digestive tract content (Paunch) 6. Category 1 Incineration

9 Abattoir Process Waste Streams Category 2 Animal by-products- Stomach contents of animals also known as (Paunch) Lairage and truck wash materials Activated sludge Dissolved Air Flotation unit sludge CAT 3 Animal by-products (offal/bone) Blood

10 Abattoir Process Waste Streams These waste streams: Acceptable raw materials for Anaerobic Digestion Easily transported to site Don t require additional treatment prior to addition. Mainly liquid in format for Anaerobic Digestion but can be semisolid in nature Gas yields considerable Digestate nutrient content is good

11 Projects and Case Studies ABP Lurgan Low Temperature Anaerobic Digester Olleco - Anaerobic Digestion Facility

12 ABP Lurgan Low Temperature Anaerobic Digestor 300 m³ wastewater per day per module Treatment Capacity Easily expandable with additional modules Module Dimensions 11 m height, 3.5 m diameter Influent mg/l COD Wastewater 90% removal rate Pollutant Influent < 1000 mg/l TSS Removal 50% removal rate Sludge 90% organic sludge removed Passive pumped system Low OPEX No heating or aeration required >85% methane content biogas Energy Positive 100% available for use Carbon Neutral Closes carbon loop Off-site manufactured module Modular Containerised M&E Small footprint on site Smart HMI controls system with remote Control System monitoring Treated Wastewater Influent Wastewater Biogas Innovate UK Sustainable Technologies Showcase

13 Low Temperature Anaerobic Digestion Non Temperature Dependent (unique) (As low as 4 o C to 40 0 C) Removes Wastewater Pollutants High Quality Biogas (100% available to end user) (>80% COD removal) (>85% CH 4 content) Modular Design, off site manufactured & Small Footprint Scalable Multiple Modular system can treat any volume of wastewater Energy Positive & Carbon Neutral

14 Wastewater Treatment Performance Pollutant Removal >18 months of consistent operational performance 90% average COD removal following commissioning Robust performance despite variable influent COD

15 Biogas Performance Steady production despite variable influent COD >85% CH 4 (methane) content Low H 2 S (hydrogen sulphide) content, averaging < 80 ppm Biogas suitable for on-site boilers without scrubbing

16 Experience to Date LTAD is a successful treatment technology, Removal of COD is good, Robust piece of technology, Cheap wastewater treatment in terms of COD, Pre-treatment is essential prior to LTAD, Sludge production is negligible, Energy input insignificant, Consistent results,

17 PROJECTS & CASE STUDIES Olleco delivering carbon neutrality for Arla Aylesbury Mega-Dairy OPERATIONS Background Our sustainability division, Olleco have linked up with Arla to build a large anaerobic digestion facility on their site. This will assist in Arla s zero carbon proposals as the facility would provide enough electricity to power the Arla mega dairy next door. How it works: Olleco will collect waste food from catering and food factory customers which can then be processed at its new Anaerobic Digestion facility in Aylesbury. The food waste is converted into a soup and digested in large tanks by millions of microscopic organisms which produce methane gas from digesting the food waste particles under anaerobic conditions. The gas is collected and either used to run an engine which in turn generates electricity and heat or is refined and injected directly into the gas network. The project is a great example of Olleco s ability to turn waste from the food industry into a useful resource. In addition to the energy produced, the AD plant also produces a liquid compost which is rich in NPK and can be returned to the land to replace fertilisers.

18 Olleco Anaerobic Digestion Facility OPERATIONS Quick stats 90,000 customers WHY? This was a natural extension of our renewable energy division to utilise the waste feedstocks it collects to generate gas & electricity to run our Liverpool operation inclusive of biodiesel refinery. HOW? Let s consider the example of going out for a meal. Have you ever wondered what happened to the left-overs on the plate? Or what is done with the cooking oil that was used to prepare your meal? Well traditionally much of the waste food would have gone into a bin, and the used cooking oil poured into drains, causing damaging fat-bergs in our water system. We estimate that almost 3 billion kilograms of waste food is thrown into the general waste bins of commercial kitchens. 1MWh Electricity produced for the national grid 16 million litres Bio-diesel produced At Olleco, we work with over 50,000 customers spread throughout the UK ranging from fine-dining restaurants to fish & chip shops to make this waste a thing of the past. At these 50,000 outlets, their food waste is collected by Olleco in one of our colourful vehicles you might have seen on the roads and taken to our organic recycling centre in Liverpool. Once it arrives there it is fed into the anaerobic digester where microorganisms eat and digest the wasted food and convert it into biogas, clean water and a rich compost. The biogas which is natural and rich in methane is burned in an engine to produce renewable electricity. We even harvest the heat generated by this engine and use it in production of biodiesel at our site next door. The compost we generate is sold to farmers who plough it back into the land replacing man-made fertilisers. The used cooking oil we collect is then put through a multi-stage process to product biodiesel that can safely be used in car & lorry engines converted to run on biodiesel. All of our biodiesel meets EU specification EN Even our process is sustainable and environmentally friendly! Anaerobic Digestion Facility Olleco Liverpool 100,000t Organic Waste recycled In the first step of the process the used oils and fats are de-packed and any plastic or tin containers are sent for recycling. Secondly, any moisture and impurities are removed from the used cooking oils to ensure they can be fully converted into biodiesel. All impurities from this cleaning step are mixed and processed with de packaged waste food and sent as feed to the Anaerobic Digester. The oil itself is then sent to be chemically converted in a three step process that produces the biodiesel and two other by-products. The first by-product is a bio-heating oil that is used in boilers and the second is glycerol that can either be sent to the Anaerobic Digester or sold into the cosmetic industry to produce natural cosmetics. In this way we ensure 100% recycling through our process to ensure nothing is ever wasted. Leading edge technology and innovations have been smartly brought together to achieve a transport fuel that reaches heights of greenhouse gas savings most businesses dream of. Using ISO methodology Olleco has shown GHG savings of over 95%, encouraging household names to work with Olleco to run their distribution fleets on the same oil they fried their chips in.
