2 Group Overview 2

3 Overview of Our Group s Operation Plantation Processing Products Supporting Business Palm Oil Mills CPO Bulking Terminal Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB) Total Land bank 189,665 ha Nucleus: 174,691 ha Plasma: 14,974 ha Total Planted Area 50,154 ha Nucleus: 38,817 ha Plasma: 11,337 ha Kernel Crushing Plants No. of Mills: 3 Total Production Capacity: 165 MT/hour Total Annual Processing Capacity : 940,500 MT Total Production Volume: 87,239 MT (FY2009) 94,154 MT (FY2010) 57,667 MT (1H2011) Renewable Waste (Empty Fruit Bunches, Liquid Waste, Kernel Shells, Fibre) CPKO Total capacity: 19,500 MT Logistics No of Vessels :4 Total Capacity: 8,300 MT Biomass Power Plant No. of Kernel Crushing Plants : 2 Total Production Capacity: 435 MT/day Total Annual Processing Capacity : 108,315 MT Total Production Volume: 20,258 MT (FY2009) 16,513 MT (FY2010) 6,396 MT (1H2011) Palm Kernel Cake 1 st Plant (2005) Location: Bangka Capacity: 6.0 MW 2 nd Plant (2009) Location: Belitung Capacity: 7.5 MW 3

4 Where We Are Estate Location 4

5 Why Biomass Power plant? 5

6 The Promise Source: International Energy Agency (IEA) Energy Statistics 6

7 The Promise Bangka-Belitung short of Electricity. Bangka Belitung was then identified as area of electricity crisis by Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Free palm biomass and readily available Palm Kernel Shell Empty Fruit Bunch 100% diesel power plant means state electricity s cost to generate 1 kwh > Rp. 2,000 Realization of zero waste Viable Downstream project 7

8 Renewable Quest 8

9 Biomass Powerplants Listrindo Kencana, Tempilang BANGKA Installed Capacity: 6MW Commisioned in 2008 Feedstock: Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) and Palm Kernel Shell (PKS) Technology: Traveling grate biomass fired boiler supplying 35 tph 38 bar 450C to 6MW condensing turbine Registered as CDM project by UNFCCC on 8 December 2008 Envisioned as 2 x 6 MW power plant built in 2 phases First project in Indonesia to receive biomass PPA and first to provide electricity from biomass to national grid Bangka grid: 80MW Diesel powered Electricity rate: Rp. 766 / kwh 9

10 Biomass Powerplants Belitung Energy, Mempaya BELITUNG Installed capacity: 7.5 MW Feedstock: Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) and Palm Kernel Shell Technology: Vibrating grate biomass fired boiler supplying 45 tph 38 bar 415C to 7.5MW fully condensing turbine Registered as CDM project by UNFCCC on 16 December 2010 Envisioned as 2 x 7.5 MW power plant built in 2 phases The first project to provide electricity from renewable sources to the Belitung electricity grid Belitung grid: 59MW Diesel powered Electricity rate: Rp.787/ kwh 10

11 Lessons learnt 11

12 External Perusahaan Listrik Negara: Lengthy Power Purchase Agreement; Powerplant had to be built while PPA process is on-going Fixed electricity price, variable feedstock cost Grid reliability Troubleshooting and coordination with PLN operators Licenses: Lack of understanding by local authority for PPA process and other required licenses Overlapping and contradicting regulations between Ministry, Government and PLN Local Community and Villagers: Socialization how the cooperative with PLN work 12

13 Feedstock, Feedstock, Feedstock Cyclical supply of Palm Kernel Shell and Empty Fruit Bunch Inconsistent fuel quality Increasing competition from overseas Palm Kernel Shell buyers EFB and PKS composition strategy for different time of the day Fuel preparation means high parasitic consumption Higher maintenance compared to coal powerplant Continuous tweaking of equipment and setting means automation remains limited 13

14 Financing Financial institution lack of understanding in renewable sector Not many interested Less appetite for small projects Self Financing, refinancing later Strict financial covenants Demand for Long Term PPA 14

15 Challenges and Possibilities 15

16 Possibilities Better rates through a dedicated biomass pricing scheme from PLN and Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Securing biomass supply through provincial domestic obligation Domestic biomass pricing scheme so variable electricity price can be a reality More understanding of fuel characteristics for higher efficiency power plant. Integration of Palm Oil Mill steam requirement and Powerplant electricity requirement through a single Cogen Plant: Savings in fuel, lower operation cost and higher production of electricity Biogas plant from effluent pond to generate more electricity 16

17 Present technology is real, Biomass are abundant, prices and policies are set. Lets work together for a brighter and cleaner Indonesia! 17
