2 energ systems climate change ENER G Systems is a partnership between ENER G Group (ENER G) and General Energy Systems (GES) who have finalised a joint venture to finance, design, build, and operate landfill gas to energy projects in South Africa. ENER G is a leading power generation company that provides clean energy initiatives with environmental benefits. It has many companies such as ENER G Natural Power experts in capturing, managing and utilizing landfill gas for generating electricity. They have access to a whole host of resources from gas pipework installations, flaring equipment, LFG engine manufacture, feasibility studies and finance. With more than 90MW of installed capacity worldwide, ENER G is the UK s leading independent landfill gas electricity supplier and a leader in this technology in developing countries. General Energy Systems is an energy management company with a significant track record in South Africa focusing in heat energy (fossil fuels) and process energy transfer (steam). GES installs, owns, operates and manages: steam generation plants; hot water boilers; hot gas plants; cogeneration plants; steam, electricity and thermal oil, heat transfer plants, and sells energy in a useful form on an across the fence basis. This joint knowledge and experience enables ENER G Systems to take you through the whole process from developing projects under the Clean Development Mechanism of the Kyoto Protocol, to placing Carbon Credits. ENER G Systems works exclusively with EcoSecurities (our nominated consultants) to develop projects. GES logo EcoSecurities Ltd is a leading company in GHG trading. It has developed and/or advised on CO2 and other GHG emission reduction projects in over 30 countries, structuring several of the world s first and largest certified emission reduction trades. It currently manages Carbon Trading Funds for Governments and the private sector in Europe and Japan. In the landfill sector, it is at the forefront of identifying and developing projects worldwide. Black Economic Empowerment As an established joint venture company, ENER G Systems is committed to the mandate, aiming to assist the Government of South Africa in developing its initiative for women and PDI groups in the energy industry. It has identified an equity portion for regional participation for a suitable empowerment partner within the municipal region who will help drive initiatives within its realm. BEE the greenhouse effect Burning fossil fuels has caused a massive increase in the amount of Greenhouse Gases in the atmosphere Climate change and the effect of global warming have been high on the global political agenda for the last decade. Our reliance on fossil fuels and the generation of harmful greenhouse gases mean we now have to address the harm we are causing to the planet. Corporations, governments and individuals must begin now to introduce clean, sustainable energy solutions and reduce the reliance and use of fossil fuels. Investment must be made in renewable energy, particularly in industrialising countries, to replace current large-scale fossil fuel developments. In December 1997, more than 160 nations met in Kyoto, Japan, to negotiate limitations on greenhouse gas emissions in order to meet the objectives of the Framework Convention on Climate Change of The outcome of the meeting was the Kyoto Protocol, in which most of the industrialised nations agreed to limit their Heat from the sun warms the Earth s surface. About 70% of this heat is reflected back into space. emissions, relative to the levels emitted in The Kyoto Protocol sets out two Flexibility Mechanisms Joint Implementation and the Clean Development Mechanism that allow for the creation of carbon credits based on individual projects. These carbon credits form the basis of the emerging market in GHG emissions, which allows industries or governments in developed countries to offset their GHG emissions by investing in clean energy projects in industrialising countries. Increased Greenhouse Gases cause more of this heat to be retained in the atmosphere and more heat to be reflected back to Earth.

3 methane gas threat or opportunity? traditional way the energ systems way Methane gas (CH4) is 21 times more harmful to the environment than Carbon Dioxide (CO2). Unless methane emissions from landfills, mines and other sources are controlled, they are emitted to the atmosphere, contributing to Global Climate Change. If you are the owner or an operator of a site that produces methane you have a potential liability that can be turned into a lucrative resource. Firstly, flaring the gas may be a quick way to generate income (and improve site safety conditions) as doing so will enable you to claim Carbon Credits. But ENER G Systems, being primarily an energy company, does not just want to simply burn it, they want to make use of it, to displace our need to use fossil fuels. They want to collect the gas and supply it to a gas generator to produce electricity. Other alternative uses of the gas can also be explored, including for transport, for boilers or as a replacement for fuels in certain industries. But how can you achieve this? ENER G Systems The Answer ENER G Systems is able to provide this methane gas capture, utilisation technology, finance, and services to any site. The most obvious contenders include landfill sites, coalmines, and digesters. We will invest, build, and operate the project, and pay the owner of the methane a royalty based on the revenues generated. how can you benefit? Working with ENER G Systems offers many benefits: Revenue generation (ie royalty payments) We assume all of the risks and costs of developing the project Taking advantage of a previously untapped resource Leadership and participation in the global effort to address climate change Managing methane gas ensures site safety Working with leading technology providers and carbon trading specialists with unparalleled track records Global / local environmental benefits from reduced harmful emissions Site development encourages local employment Electricity gener-ation or other uses for the methane gas, all of which can generate additional income Generation of foreign direct investment in industrialising countries Assisting the Government of South Africa in developing its initiative for women and PDI groups in the energy industry Prior to the development of ENER G Systems, anyone wishing to develop Carbon Credits or productively utilise methane gas, would have had to liaise with a whole host of contacts to develop a project: Waste operator Consultants Lawyers Insurance Company Local Authorities Generating Company Regulators Carbon Credit Brokers District Network Operators ENER G Systems incorporates the ENER G Group (with expertise in the methane collection and the utilization market), General Energy Systems (with its track record and experience in the South African energy market) and EcoSecurities (with expertise in the Carbon Trading market) providing a more simplified approach to the whole methane management issue. Only one partner to work with We supply an integrated solution We make all capital investment We develop project under the CDM or JI We place the Carbon Credits in the marketplace or buy the credits We pay YOU a royalty from the sale of the carbon credits and the sale of power Waste operator We work with you to identify the best use for the methane We develop the methane utilisation component We sell the product (eg electricity) and pay YOU money in the form of a royalty As opposed to the traditional route the site owner/operator simply makes one call to ENER G Systems, who manage the complete process. ENER G Systems undertake ALL aspects of your project even down to the financing so there is no financial risk or capital investment required on your behalf.
