Erik Pers Berglund Waste to Energy The Paradox. The littering of man kind gives us the product to a better life on earth. Algae infestations in the Baltic Waste to Energy By treating our wastes we do not only do good for the environment but also good business for the local- and global economy. 4 Scandinavian Biogas in Brief Gains made in recent years within biogas technology have led to great flexibility in the raw materials that can be used for the production of biogas. This, in turn, has led to a significant reduction in biogas production costs. Scandinavian Biogas has consolidated Swedens expertise in the biogas sector and secured a global leadership position with methods that generate biogas more cost- efficiently than other means currently offered on the market. Additionally, the company has a unique gas cleansing technology for the production of liquefied biogas (LBG) The company has achieved considerable attention on both regional and international levels and Scandinavian Biogas is now poised for rapid growth The focus is on creating more effective methods for biogas yields in connection with the production of biodiesel and ethanol, as well as in connection to biowaste, e.g. sludge Scandinavian Biogas technology is protected via existing patents and patents pending Number of employees: 28 Company headquarters are located in Uppsala, Sweden Projects in Sweden, Poland, South Korea, Brazil, Hungary and USA

6 Increased demand for renewable energy Continued high price of oil increases demand for renewable energy Over time, the demand for oil will outpace the supply, which will lead to oil prices remaining at a relatively high level The price of oil has been trending upward nearly continuously since 2001 Global warming is producing political decisions that increase green energy demand EU objective: 20% of total energy shall be green by 2020 EU objective: 10% of total vehicle fuel consumption shall be green by 2020 USA objective: President Bush intends to reduce vehicle fuel consumption by 20% by 2017 California objective: 20% of total energy shall be green by 2010 Alternative biofuel types Ethanol & Biodiesel are easy to distribute and enable 0-100% blending High costs and long lead times required to achieve sufficient capacity Biogas (Methane gas) is the cleanest alternative and yields enormous capacity Minimal investment and low production costs Option to introduce biogas into the natural gas network and then retrieve the same volume at another time and place in the network, results in significant synergies and economic benefits General Market Conditions The Green Gas Principle Households Industry Vehicles Natural gas Biomethane The possibility to inject produced biogas into the natural gas grid, and then withdraw a similar volume at another point on the grid provides essential synergies and economic advantages.
