Zero Capital Cost Energy Supply

• Our approach
• We take all technology and fuel supply risks
• We design, supply, install, operate, fuel and
  maintain the system
• No capital cost to end user
• We charge per kWhr of heat used
• Guaranteed energy price to the end user over the
  duration of the heat supply contract
• ONLY LOCAL WOODCHIP USED

Smallscale

• Abbey Vocational School, Donegal
• 220 kW wood chip boiler
• Replacing two oil boilers
• Will use 180 tonnes wood chip (40 MC)
• Displacing 50,000l oil p.a.
• School will benefit from instant saving

All woodchip sourced within 15 miles PPP us and
Donegal Local Development Company (through LEADER
)
11
Largescale

• Pharmaceutical plant
• Combined heat and power
• 17MW total
• Will use over 25,000 t of woodchip

Market Drivers

• Political
• Economic
• Environmental

27
Political Energy Policy

• 85 dependent on imported fuel (fossil)
• IEA has warned of our over reliance on natural
  gas
• Former Soviet Union Middle East
• 36 of the worlds gas production, BUT
• 73 of the worlds gas resource
• By 2020, 95 of new energy production will be in
  non-OECD countries
• Chinas and Indias demand for oil is growing
  rapidly
• Increasing demand for a scarce resource higher
  prices

28
Economic Fossil Fuel Prices

• Natural Gas
• IBEC large energy users group report 170
  cumulative increase in Gas prices 2000-2007
• Oil
• Crude oil up 800 in 9 years
• US10 (Feb 99) to US90 (Feb 08)
• Electricity
• Up gt50 in 5 years
• 6.5c/kWh to 10c/kWh
• Future?
• Decrease highly unlikely
• Aim Minimise the increase
