1 Lufthansa Aviation Biofuel Our route to sky friendly energy November 16 th, 2010

2 Lufthansa has decoupled transport capacity from fuel consumption by a factor of two Carried through operational improvements and fleet modernization almost half of the growth since 1991 was CO 2 neutral Transport service in TKT Source: Balance 2010

3 Even a tight use of all technologies can t stop raising CO 2 - emissions

4 Drivers for alternative fuels

5 Industry Concept of Carbon Neutral Growth The industry approach to mitigate climate change

6 Emissions trading involves risks: price per ton CO 2 and unclarified number of acquired certificates 6%

7 Statistics about jetfuel consumption within the Lufthansa Group 2009 in m ³* Austrian** bmi** Germanwings Lufthansa Cargo Lufthansa Passage Swiss Total =========== * January 1st to December 31st, 2009 ** 1m³ = Liter

8 Statistics about jetfuel consumption Daily jetfuel consumption in 2009 (average): m ³ = road tanker trucks = annual jetfuel supply of Dresden Airport = heating oil for households (à l)

9 Total demand and Biofuel volumes* for the Lufthansa Group % net volume growth per annum ,6 Mio m³ 24,7 Mio m³ CO 2 neutral growth 2020 (IATA 2020) replacement of conventional jetfuel to 50% of 2005 volume (IATA 2050) * in m³

10 LH s Biofuel Demand acc. to IATA 2% annual growth IATA 2020 IATA 2050 conventional Jet A

11 Comparison fossile fuels vs. Biofuels Fossile well refinery consumer upstream downstream crude transport refined products transport Biofuel plantation growth extraction or conversion two-step consumer harvesting preparation destillation more complex more steps from plantation to consumer more bottlenecks more seasonality refined products transport

12 Plant based feedstock reduces CO 2 -content of the atmosphere in a natural way

13 Three feedstock-processing combinations for Biofuels in Aviation Feedstock Processing Product 1. Sugarcane (Glucose) 2. Wood, organic Waste (Ligno-Cellulose) 3. Vegetable Oils (Palm oil, Jatropha, Camelina, Algae) Fermentation Pyrolyse (Fischer-Tropsch- Synthesis) Hydrotreatment ( cracking ) Bioethanol* 2 nd Generation FT-Biodiesel* 2 nd Generation HVO-Biodiesel* 2 nd Generation (HRJ) (Bio-SPK) * final processing acc. to jetfuel spec. possible

14 Biomass feedstock for LH Demand ha = m m 3 Bio-Jetfuel (40% of destillation) 100ha = 1 km m 3 vegetable oils Feedstock Corn (Mais) Rapeseed (Raps) Camelina (Leinöl) Jatropha (Purgiernuss) Palmoil (Palmöl) Microalgae (30% drymass oil) Microalgae (70% drymass oil) Oil per Hektar (l ha/a) arable land required Remarks 172 l km 2 not suitable for jetfuel l km 2 not suitable for jetfuel l km 2 field rotation crop! l km 2 Potential on degraded land! l km 2 Clean and cheap, but food vs. fuel problem l km 2 not available in l 595 km 2 not availale in 2025

15 Cultivated area to meet LH s feedstock demand in 2025 Deutschland & Österreich & Schweiz (Germany & Austria & Switzerland) km² Bayern (State of Bavaria) km² Niedersachsen (State of Lower Saxony) km² Thüringen (State of Thuringia) km² Berlin & Bremen (City of Berlin & Bremen) km² Corn km ² Rapeseed km ² Jatropha (207 x 207 km) km ² Palmoil 117 x 117 km) km ² Algae 30% (37 x 37 km) km ² Algae 70% (25 x 25 km) 625 km²

16 Investments in Land aquisitions for LH-demand Landuse change from pasture, deforrested or degraded land Biomass feedstock: Jatropha with 3 years from clearance to harvest Year LH-demand in Biojet m³ m³ m³ m³ m³ m³ Cultivated land forjatropha in ha Cumulative investment in Mio. US$ (pricebase 2010)

17 Investments in Biorefineries for LH-demand HVO-Biorefinery t/a 800 Mio. Euro with FT-Biorefinery t/a Mio Euro 35% Biojetfuel output Year no of sites Investments in HVO-Biofuel refineries in Mio US$ Investments in FT-Biofuel refineries in Mio US$

18 Industry is grouping to drive realization and commercialisation

19 The beginning is already half the way to success. (korean wisdom)
