INEOS Power Demand & Issues
8
INEOS Total Power Consumption
50 million MWh of Energy
A mixture of electricity, steam & gas
9
INEOS ChlorVinyls – Our Major UK Power User
Second largest chlorine plant in Europe
Competitive on-site power stationand world scale chemical plants
Only UK chlorine producer
Critical supplier to the UK chemical industry
Completed £400m investment programme at Runcorn in 2006
Chlorine & PVC. Acquired from ICI in 2001. Based at Runcorn, Cheshire
10
Our Energy Position in Runcorn
Electricity is a raw material
Power consumption at Runcorn site is the same as the city of Liverpool
We purchase gas, which is toll converted through a highly efficient CCGT station on-site
Energy is 80% of the cost of making our products
We compete with all other major European producers of PVC
Totally dependent on competitive UK gas prices

Other Issues Impacting Energy Competitiveness
Multiple policy instruments creating a cumulative burdenAll stick & no carrot & overly complex
EUETSClimate Change LevyCarbon Reduction CommitmentRenewables Obligation
Renewable Heat Incentive UK offers limited exemptions compared to other EU States
Energy intensive industry cannot afford to lose current exemptionsEnergy intensive industry must be exempt from new energy taxesFuture changes to CCL must retain exemption for electrolysis
The best result for CO2 emissions is to manufacture energy intensive products in low carbon economies
PVC production in China results in 5 times the CO2 emissions of European production (IFEU Dec 2008)
Renewable Power Options
14
A full move to renewables?
INEOS demand is 50 million MWh
To source that CO2 free via…
Biodiesel – would require an oilseed rape acreage the size of
Switzerland
Wind – would require a wind farm larger than Luxembourg
Nuclear – would require 4 new nuclear stations
15
Viable Renewable Options for INEOS Runcorn
Involvement in new nuclear build
Energy from Waste
16
New Nuclear
Runcorn electrolysis provides an ideal baseload demand
Steady offtake 365 days per year
‘Exeltium’ model in France works well
Investment by energy intensive industry in a ‘virtual’ nuclear plant, delivering power now
CO2 free, low cost, predictable energy source
Cash from consortium allows EdF to invest in next generation reactors
Done without infringing EU state aid rules
17
Runcorn Energy from Waste
A very significant energy from waste investment
£400m project covers 25% of Runcorn’s energy
No other renewable technologies can deliver energy at sustainable cost today
18
Runcorn Energy From Waste Project
Why Runcorn?
• Good location
– Central within region
– Transport links
– Brown field site
– Next to Runcorn Site
• CHP benefits
• Ineos benefits
– Source of energy not reliant on natural gas
19
Runcorn CHP Energy from Waste Facility
Phase 1• Financial close 2009 – PFI-funded• Operation late 2012 / early 2013• 425,000 tonnes of refuse derived fuel per annum
Phase 2• Contracts agreed 2010 – merchant facility• Operation 2014• 425,000 tonnes of refuse derived fuel per annum

Conclusions
Need to diversify energy base away from gas dependency
Energy source needs to be cost competitive and reliable
Two primary options are nuclear and EfW
France provides an excellent model for new nuclear
EfW provides an excellent CHP option for those who need both heat and power
All investments are long term and require a stable planning & regulatory framework from government to allow us to develop leadership in green manufacturing technologies
