2 Activities Axens in Brief 5 markets covered Refining Petrochemicals Gases Alternatives & Renewables Water over 2,500 over 60,000 industrial units under license tons of catalysts and adsorbents produced each year Process Licensing Catalysts & Adsorbents Consulting Services 10 Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures 7 Production Sites Axens was created in 2001 through the merger of Procatalyse with the Technology Licensing & Service Division of IFP Energies nouvelles. In 2017, Axens acquired successfully more than 88% of Heurtey Petrochem with the objective to merge the full company (Heurtey and Prosernat) with Axens. 2

5 African Refined Products Market Imported Diesel and Gasoline towards lower Sulfur specification Recently announced Plans for West Africa: Nigeria, Côte d Ivoire, Ghana, Togo and Benin 50 ppm Sulfur max requested from July 2017 for imported fuels Local production to be aligned starting from

6 Global Refined Products Market 2020: Sulfur Specifications Decrease in Bunker Fuels Source: IMO 2016 Decision: global switch in 2020 to 0.5 % Sulfur (from 3.5 % S currently) Demand for High Sulfur Fuel Oil will strongly decrease in 2020 Demand for MDO (Marine Diesel Oil) and MGO (Marine Gasoil) will increase 6

13 Reducing Benzene Content in Gasoline Worldwide Benzene Origin in Gasoline Pool Source: Axens Reformate is the largest Benzene contributor to Gasoline pool 13

14 Reducing Benzene Content in Gasoline Option 1: Upstream Removal of Benzene Precursors C 6 Benzene precursors removal by Pre-fractionation Max Octane scheme: Isomerization of Light Naphtha (C 5 /C 6 ) 14

15 Reducing Benzene Content in Gasoline Option 2: Downstream Benzene Saturation Benzene Saturation on Light Reformate stream Two Schemes available: Conventionel or Reactive Distillation 15

22 Modular Construction Strategy What is Modularization? Completely prefabricated skidmounted units Module construction is performed in a workshop remotely from the final location & equipped with adapted capacities Modularization includes: Steel Structure Equipment Piping & Mechanical Activities Electrical & Instrumentation Transportation to final destination Main benefits: Shorter schedule Minimized on-site construction work Optimized plot area Transport ready 22

23 Case Study 1: Modular Unit in South America Design Delivery at site Assembly End User: Polinter (Venezuela) Start-up date: 2012 Technology: Axens AlphaButol Process for Butene-1 Production 16-skids Modular construction & assembly: by Prosernat 2 years from KOM to Modules Delivery (total 837 Tons) 23

24 Case Study 2: Raffinerie de Guinée 10,000 bpsd Project Owner: Brahms Oil Refineries EPC Contractor: SNC-Lavalin Managing Licensor: Axens Performance Guarantees from Crude Oil to Final Products 10,000 bpsd Modular Refinery in Kamsar, Guinea Maximize Afri 4 Clean Gasoline, Jet and Diesel Flexibility towards West African Crude Oils Feed Phase on-going Start-up target

25 Conclusion Strong pressure (citizens, NGOs, Refiners, ) on African authorities to adopt cleaner transportation fuels Strong decrease in HSFO demand after 2020 A large number of options and technologies exist to cope with new specifications & HSFO lower demand Modular construction adapted for plot constraints, schedule-driven and/or small-capacity projects 25
