Company description Inabensa and its subsidiaries abroad are integrated in Abeinsa, Abengoa s engineering and industrial construction business group, and they are developing their activities in the engineering market through construction and industrial maintenance and infrastructure in the energy, industry, transport, service and communications sectors. Inabensa provides overall solutions since 1994, year of its creation, and whose business backgrounds dates back to more than 60 years. In its constant adaptation to market needs, and characterized by the high level of quality and services offered, Inabensa seeks to be and international leader in engineering and industrial construction and high value added infrastructure, which will contribute to sustainable development carrying out the following activities: communication systems, power transmissions, railways, concessions and

5 GHG report Página: 5 of 12 services, maintenance, mechanical assemblies, thermal and acoustic protection and manufacturing. In line with Abengoa s sustainability policy, Inabensa has prepared their greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory. This has a triple objective: To gather in-depth knowledge about direct and indirect GHG emissions from each Inabensa activity to allow assessment of the situation, identify improvement options, and create emissions reduction, compensation and neutralisation plans. To label the products and services of Inabensa, identifying the GHG emissions associated with the production of each one. To assess suppliers according to the quality, veracity and traceability of the GHG emissions associated with the development of the products and services they provide. 5. Limits of the company The permanent establishments and companies of Inabensa consolidate and report on all the GHG emissions that can be attributed to the work centres and projects over which they have managerial control. This approach includes the following permanent establishments and investee companies. Company /Permanent Establishment % weight emissions Instalaciones Inabensa, S.A % Inabensa Saudí % Inabensa France 4.960% Inabensa Maroc 4.696% EP Inabensa Kuwait 3.355% Inabensa Tianjin 3.114% UTE Inabensa Teyma Eólica del Tala 2.584% Inabensa Bharat 2.436% Abengoa T&I 1.664% EP Inabensa Denmark 0.505% Centro Industrial y Logístico Torrecuéllar, S.A 0.236% Abengoa Australia 0.056% Abengoa T&I ULC 0.049% EP Inabensa UK 0.024% DGEN Transmission Company Limited 0.003% Zero Emissions Technologies, S.A 0.001% (*)We are currently working on the compilation of the data of new permanent establishments and companies 6. Uncertainty and maximum relative importance The uncertainty associated with the values of the emissions reported in this report is determined by the individual uncertainties of each one of the parameters employed in calculation thereof (activity data, emissions factors, and others). Generally speaking, the activity data used in Abengoa Australia emissions inventory estimation correspond to data subject to metrological control regulations, which

6 GHG report Página: 6 of 12 ensures a high degree of accuracy, or are taken from the company s own meters subject to calibration and verification programs. The emission factors used to carry out the Abengoa Australia inventory are extracted from specific official sources for each source category. Selection of these emission factors is geared towards minimizing this uncertainty as far as possible. Unless clear evidence exists otherwise, probability density functions are assumed to follow a normal distribution. A maximum level of relative significance has been set at 5% with respect to the emissions total, with the exception of facilities subject to regulatory verification, in which case the level is to be set at either 2% or 5% in accordance with the requirements of Decision 2007/589/EC. Inabensa has an internal system in place to estimate data reliability based on assigning quality indexes to each one of the parameters involved in emissions calculation. Based on the range of possible alternatives for determining each one of the factors involved in the methodologies for quantifying emissions, increasing quality indexes (on a decimal basis) are assigned to the most trustworthy options. The uncertainty control is carried out by a minimum QI assignation for each source and through the validation processes for the suppliers' emissions 7. Operating limits and exclusions The identification and classification of GHG complies with Abengoa s internal regulation and the ISO :2006 standard, given below: Scope 1- Direct GHG emissions The direct emissions come from sources which are under the control of a company belonging to Abengoa, such as the emissions from combustion in boilers, ovens, machinery or vehicles, and the emissions from processing equipment, together with fugitive emissions from equipment or installations. These include: Emissions from sources of stationary combustion Emissions from sources of mobile combustion Fugitive emissions of Natural Gas Fugitive emissions of HFC from Refrigeration Systems Fugitive emissions of SF6 from Electrical Switchgear Fugitive emissions of HFC/PFC derived from the use of solvents and aerosols Fugitive emissions of CO2 derived from the use of lubricants Scope 2- Indirect GHG emissions The so-called scope 2 in the inventory of greenhouse gas emissions includes emissions from the generation of electricity acquired and consumed by Inabensa. Scope 2 emissions physically occur in the electricity generation plant: Emissions associated with the generation of the electrical energy acquired.

7 GHG report Página: 7 of 12 Scope 3- Other indirect GHG emissions The scope 3 indirect emissions include the remaining indirect emissions of greenhouse gases, and are the consequence of Inabensa s activities, but are produced in sources which neither belong nor are controlled by Inabensa, but are associated with the goods and services acquired. Indirect emissions associated with the goods and services acquired Indirect emissions associated with work-related travel Indirect emissions associated with travel to the workplace Indirect emissions derived from the losses during the transportation and distribution of electricity Indirect emissions associated with the value chain of the fuels used to produce the energy consumed Exclusions The exclusions are decided mainly on the basis of the following criteria established by Abengoa: - Exclusion of Scope 1 sources for which it has been demonstrated, via a sensitivity study, that together they contribute to a maximum of 0.5 % of the emissions of this scope. This group includes: Emissions from sources of stationary combustion of Instalaciones Inabensa SA. Fugitive emissions of natural gas of Instalaciones Inabensa SA. Fugitive emissions of CO 2 derived from the use of lubricants of Instalaciones Inabensa SA, I.France and I.Maroc. 8. Baseline year The baseline year is 2013 because it is the year when the GHG inventory was verified in all the principal companies of Inabensa, according to the ISO :2006 Greenhouse effect gases. Part 1: Specification with guidance, at the organizational level for the quantification and the report of the emissions and greenhouse effect gas removals. The baseline year is updated when any of the following takes place: Changes in the operating limits. Changes in the ownership and control of the GHG sources. These changes involve the transfer of ownership or control over the GHG sources within or beyond the limits of the company. Changes in the GHG quantification methods and/or improvement in the precision of emission factors that produce significant changes in the quantified emissions.

The quantification method used to calculate the emissions is carried out on the basis of the activity data (fuel consumption) and the emission, on the basis of the fuel supplier specifications (Instalaciones Inabensa SA, Inabensa France, Inabensa Maroc and Abengoa T&I), the national GHG inventory report of Spain (2015), Rapport National d'inventaire de France ( ), India: Greenhouse Gas Emissions 2007, United States EPA and from the intergovernmental panel on climate change (IPCC) applied to mobile diesel and/or petrol motors Fugitive emissions of HFC from refrigeration systems These are the HFC emissions associated with the recharging of air conditioning equipment. The quantification method used to calculate the emissions is based on the data for the activity (amount of gas recharged) and the emission factors, calculated based on the HFC content of the coolant gas, obtained from the IPCC directives Fugitive emissions of SF6 from electrical switchgear These are the SF 6 emissions associated with the recharging of the electrical switchgear (transformer centres). The quantification method used for the calculation of the emissions is based on the activity data (quantity of gas recharged) and on the potential heating of the recharged gas published by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change for a horizon of 100 years Fugitive emissions of HFC/PFC derived from the use of solvents and aerosols These are fugitive emissions of HFC and PFC from solvents and aerosols used at the work centres and project sites of Inabensa. In accordance with the methods proposed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the formula used to calculate the quantification of these emissions is based on the activity data (quantity of gas in the recipient) and on the emission factors calculated according to the HFC and PFC content of the aerosols and solvents and the length of time for which they are in use Fugitive emissions of C0 2 derived from the use of lubricants Fugitive emissions of C0 2 generated by the use of lubricants used by Inabensa in the vehicles of mobile combustion due to the oxidation of part of its carbon content.

The emission factor of Spain is obtained from the balance of Red Eléctrica of Spain and for other countries is based on the electrical energy generated and lost is calculated from statistical studies of the International energy agency Indirect emissions associated with the value chain of the fuels used to produce the energy consumed The indirect emissions associated with the value chain of the fuels used in the production of the electrical energy consumed include those generated during the extraction and transportation of the raw materials, and those derived from the production process. The emission factor is obtained from the national inventory of emissions that each country submits to the secretary of the UN convention on climate change, and the details published by the international energy agency. In the case of Spain, the data of the generation of the total power energy and proceeding from nuclear and thermal (coal) plants is obtained through the REE memory.
