2 Key messages Science, through collaboration, can address most near term energy challenges in emerging markets. Integration of scientific disciplines is more powerful than any one alone. Integrated science coupled with innovative business models can offer compelling solutions in emerging markets. Copyright 2013 DuPont. All rights reserved 2

3 Our Purpose MARKET-DRIVEN SCIENCE DuPont is a science company. We work collaboratively to find sustainable, innovative, market-driven solutions to solve some of the world s biggest challenges, making lives better, safer, and healthier for people everywhere. National Geographic image

4 Dealing with energy challenges since birth Abundant, renewable, clean and free

5 In 1802, the earth s population was 1 billion. By 2050, it will be 9 billion. National Geographic image 5

6 We are applying our science to find solutions to some really BIG challenges FEEDING THE WORLD REDUCING OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOSSIL FUELS KEEPING PEOPLE AND THE ENVIRONMENT SAFE These challenges are equally critical in emerging markets National Geographic images 6

10 We bring global science to address local needs Wilmington Meyrin Leiden Brabrand Palo Alto Johnston Wilmington Brabrand Leiden Meyrin Hyderabad Shanghai Pune Bangkok Paulinia Routinely connected to: R&D sites Innovation Centers Local and global businesses 10

11 DuPont Knowledge Center 1. Drive India growth by developing science solutions tailored for the India market 2. Leverage India s science talent on global programs Inaugurated in November 2008 Over 450 scientists / engineers and growing Located on a 25 acre campus 11 Silver LEED certified; going for gold

12 How to make our energy mix more diverse, sustainable, cleaner, abundant and affordable? Our science is transforming these diverse energy sources to the mainstream Solar energy Advanced biofuels Fuel efficiency Wind energy Energy efficient buildings Photovoltaics Biofuels Energy efficient buildings Wind energy Fuel efficiency

13 Integrated science lowers the cost of solar energy More than half of the world s 300 million modules installed since 1975 have DuPont materials in them

14 Making solar energy affordable High Efficiency Metallization Pastes Ionomer Encapsulant Films Polyvinyl Fluoride Films LCOE = ($/kwh) C + C + cell BOS p f s h L p s C I

15 Integrated science and collaboration unlocks the potential of advanced biofuels from local biomass Particle & Dispersion Science Metabolic Engineering Gene Recombination & Regulation Biochemistry Formulation Science Fermentation Engineering Agronomy Genomics Bioinformatics Molecular Biology Protein Engineering Chemical Engineering Microbiology Conventional Breeding Copyright 2013 DuPont.

17 Integrated science improves fuel efficiency through lightweighting Copyright 2013 DuPont. All rights reserved 17 17

18 Lightweighting increases fuel efficiency Integrated air duct solutions Numerous metal to plastic applications Jounce bumpers Seal & bearing materials Hose reinforcement Oils & greases Eliminating just 11 kg on 70 million light-vehicle engines could save 908 million liters of fuel or 9 million barrels of crude oil used for transportation Data: DuPont

19 Emerging markets pose additional challenges Is the solution affordable? Courtesy: NY Times Courtesy: onlybombay.blogspot.com How to manage the energy reality in emerging markets? Renewable sources - Solar Energy - Wind - Biofuel Conventional sources - Thermal - Natural gas Power deficit of 9% 30% T & D losses Lack of transparency Low monitoring High data recording losses Supply demand imbalance Fossil fuel overdependence Different demand load based on location and time of day.

20 24x7 power supply but is the business model sustainable? Rampura village in Uttar Pradesh has 24x7 power supply! Population families, 44 have a power connection Flour mill creates livelihood Lights a school 8.7 KW plant financed by Scatec for $110M 60 solar panels, 145W each Battery bank of 24 cells, 12 V each Power charged at $0.10/unit $10/connection $0.43 for CFL bulb $1.70 for fan $1.90/TV set $0.02 late payment penalty Powers a streetlight

21 A sustainable solution?* *Courtesy Gram Power: This is not an endorsement of Gram Power just an illustration of a interesting business model Gram Power facilitates bank or private funding to set up a microgrid Rural telecom tower pays Gram Power a fixed monthly fee for guaranteed supply Local entrepreneur purchases bulk energy credits from Gram Power by depositing money in the bank Rs. 10 / day provides enough power to operate lights, fans, cellphones and TVs Entrepreneur uses this wallet to wirelessly transfer pre-paid recharge to the customer s meter When payment is received Gram Power transfers energy credits to the entrepreneur s wireless energy wallet
