1 Factsheet Kwinana(Western Australia) Waste to Energy 19 October 2018

2 KwinanaProject Background Client Profile o Co-developed by Phoenix Energy Australia & Macquarie Capital with co-investment by Dutch Infrastructure Fund Project description tonnes per year of household, commercial and industrial waste to be diverted from West Australian landfill, equivalent to one quarter of Perth s postrecycling rubbish 36 MWeof reliable baseload energy to be exported to the grid European standard for flue gas treatment, Metallic materials will be recycled Remainingashresiduewillbere-usedas construction materials Highlights First Waste to Energy plant in Australia, Total value of about 700Mio AUD. Scheduledtoopen bytheend of 2021 Supply structure Waste-to-Energy Technology Supply: Keppel Seghers EPC contractor : Acciona Operations & Maintenance Contractor : Veolia Location KwinanaIndustrial Area, 40 kilometers south of Perth Fig. 1.

3 Waste management in Australia Figures - Inhabitants: 24, 1 million = 2,2 x Belgium - Surface: km² = 256 x Belgium - Density: 3,1 inhabitant/km² = 100x less than Belgium - Total waste production*: 33,3 million ton/year * municipal, commercial and industrial waste = 1,4 ton/capita/year 58% recycled/ 42% disposed - Municipal waste production: 13,3 million ton/year (= 2,63x Belgium) = 565 kg/capita/year = 1,15x Belgium 51% recycled/ 49% disposed/ 0% thermal valorisation (Belgium : 70% recycled/ 0% disposed/ 30% thermal valorisation) Facts - Even witha high recycling rate, Australia has hugeamountof waste being disposed - Sincejanuary2018, recycledwaste import restrictionfromchina: impact for Australia = 1,3 million ton/year affected - up tonow, low landfilldiversionincentive - but efforts made to increase landfill tax (up to 140 AUD/ton) - Solid waste disposal emits9 millionton CO 2 equivalent or 2,3% of Australian greenhouse gases(2014 data) - 24 april 2018: ministerial agreement to explore opportunities to advance Waste toenergy projects Source: -AustralianNational Waste Report 2016, - Statbel.fgov.be Direction générale Statistique - Statistics Belgium sur base de données administratives 3

4 Benefits for the community Renewable Energy production: - for households - Equivalent to tonnesof coal/ year - Generating reliablebaseload renewableenergy to Australia s overall energy mix Fighting climate change /global warming : tonnesco 2 / yearnotemittedfor equivalent energy production - Equivalent totaking85,000 carsof theroad Landfill diversion: - Diversionof up to tonnesof waste from non-recycable waste curbside collection - Supporting community efforts to reduce pressure on West Australian landfills 4

6 Key Figures: Waste to Energy Globally 220 ton / second of waste are produced globally, from which 67% are dumped in landfills, mostly uncontrolled. This amount will double by 2025 and triple by % Source: World bioenergy association, World counts Greenhouse gases (CO2, methane) emission cuts can be achieved by ending the uncontrolled dumping of waste. Greenhouse gases are responsible for climate change Source: Waste management World, ISWA 65 millions of people, mainly kids are affected by the 50 biggest dumpsites in the world. Exposure to open dumpsite has greater impact on population s life expectancy than malaria, in addition to environmental effects WTE is the most environmentally friendly method of processing residual waste since it reduces land occupation (landfilling) and provides a meaningful outcome for waste (=energy production). Forms an essential part of a sustainable waste management chain. Fully complementary to recycling by recovering energy from unrecyclable waste. Recovers significant amounts of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Removes toxic substances from the eco-cycle. Generates valuable and sustainable electricity and heat, of which 50% is recognised as renewable, and the other 50% is derived from recovered energy sources that would be lost otherwise. Reduces carbon footprint of human activities thanks to: 1) reduced methane emissions from landfill (methane has 28x higher global warming potential than CO2), 2) offsets the use of fossil fuels for energy production and 3) recovery of materials. Allows up to 95% landfill diversion rate. Helps diversify energy sources and increases independence of energy supply. Reliable European technology from Keppel Seghers.
