1 Renewable Energies & Food Why to Invest in Argentina Alfredo Langesfeld Argentine Renewable Energies Chamber May/June 2011

2 The Argentine Renewable Energies Chamber / CADER Founded in 2006 as non-profit trade association. CADER has as members representatives of all the industries related to Alternative/Renewable Energies such as: wind, solar, hydro, biofuels, biomass, refineries, feedstocks, etc. Today the Chamber also interacts with many sister institutions worldwide, pushing for further development of the renewable energies industry in Argentina and abroad. 2

3 KEY FAVORABLE FACTORS International increasing Clean Energies & Food demand. Argentina has experienced an important growth in biofuels & food production. Feedstocks: no supply problems Investment: Billions of us$ New infraestructures allowed production increase for export and domestic market supply. 3

4 Global Total New Investment in Clean Energy Source: Bloomberg New Energy Finance 4

5 New Investment by Geography CAGR: Compound Annual Growth Rate Source: Bloomberg New Energy Finance 5

6 The world needs 120 million more Has. and/or increase Production per Ha.(FAO) Argentina could triple Agricultural Production (at present Argentina Exports for 400 million people/year). 6

7 Argentine Golds Green Gold: Lands & Agriculture Mineral Gold: Minerals Cristal gold: Water Black gold: Fossil Oil 7

8 ARGENTINA IN NUMBERS km area km (total surface including Malvinas & Antartic) Argentina surface: equal to the total surface of 12 countries: Spain (504K), Portugal (91K), France (547K), Italy (301K), Belgium (30K), Netherlands (41K), United Kingdom (245K), Sweden (450K), Norway (324K), Austria (83K), Denmark (43K) and Hungary (93K) and there would still be place km boundaries km coastline Population: only

10 Argentine Biodiesel Installed Capacity * tons 2011* Production capacity expected to be 5 millions by Investments as of 2011/12: $ 1.5 billion* *estimated 10

11 BIODIESEL EXPORTS & DOMESTIC MARKET Exports: 95% EU - 5% others Years Installed Capacity m/t Exports Domestic m/t Exp: * 2011* D: 700/ * Exp: D: Ex: Ex: Ex: *estimated 11

12 Prices May 2011 FOB Rosario/Santa Fe Prices (Indicative) Biodiesel SME B100 us$ 1.300/Tons Crude Glycerine us$ 300 Refined Glycerine us$ 600 Complies with US ASTM D EU EN

13 Legal Frame Law (2006) stipulates Liquid Fuels must be blended at 7% (2010). Biodiesel & Ethanol production increasing yearly. National Biodiesel quota distributed among 19 of the 23 manufacturing plants 85% large oil producers B5 January 2010/July 2010 B7 from August 2010 Production may reach 5 million Tons or more in 2015 We are doing it! 13

14 Sustainable & Efficient Agriculture 70% surface planted by direct seeding Last generation industrial technology. Mechanization among the highest in the world. Average distance from farms to ports: 5/300 km (much less than Brazil - USA). Only 5% of the crop is used for biodiesel, the remaining 95% is used as food! 14

15 Recommendation It is essential EU-EC changes its vision for crops such as soybeans as biofuels are a byproduct. Soybean produces high quality protein. It is EU and our responsibility to work with real data applicable to the situation of each country. 15

21 PERSPECTIVES Present/Future demand of biofuels in the EU is supplied partially by imports since EU s own production does not cover demand. Feedstocks (Grains/Oils/Cane) give to LATAM s biofuels industry a cost/benefit advantage. Argentine Mandatory quota may increase from B7 to B10 in 2012 & B /13 Agro-machinery can use blend B50 (France approved B30 in 2010 for cars). Electrical supply of energy originated in Wind, Hydraulic, Biofuels, Biogas, Nuclear, is also a major issue in the next coming years. 21

22 INVESTMENTS OPPORTUNITIES in ARGENTINA Incentives Export-oriented environmentally friendly projects. Early reimbursement of Sales Tax for capital goods Exemption from Import Duties for capital goods, complete production lines, new equipments. Provincial and Regional fiscal incentives under promotional schemes sponsored by various provincial governments. Business support infrastructure, Free Trade Zones. Subject to Legal Advise for yr. business development. 22
