The DME Industry – A turning point?

Global or regional economic crisis ? Which consequences on DME and other new clean energy carriers?

Budget and Debt crisis in Developed countries reduces subsidies and tax incentives... Global Climate Change issue does not seem anymore a priority (Watch Durban

conference...) With the Arabic Spring, Democracy is emerging in a lot of new countries

But Emerging countries are still growing and need more energy which they have not

necessarily in house. Their standard of living is also improving and peoples are requesting for more

comfort and especially for health today and tomorrow So

The potential multi sourcing, the versatility and the cleanliness of DME may be a good answer especially after the issue of the latest WHO report in September on Indoor and outdoor pollutions and their terrible and increasing consequence :

1,3 million untimely deaths of human beings worldwide and per year

Worst in class: 1. Ahwaz (Iran) 2. Ulaanbaatar

(Mongolia) 3. Sanandaj (Iran) 4. Ludhiana (India) 5. Quetta (Pakistan) Best in Class: 1. Whitehorse

(Canada) 2. Kitimat (Canada) 3. Burns Lake

(Canada) 4. Houston

(Canada) 5. Clearlake CA

(USA)

DME Market – Project Overview – Global

Egypt 200 ktpy planned

Korea 10 tpd pilot

Indonesia 800 ktpy planned (2011)

China 6-10 mtpy capacity 30 – 50% in operation

20 mtpy planned (2015-2018)

India 265 ktpy planned

Sweden World’s first bioDME plant (2010)

Uzbekistan 100 ktpy planned (2013)

Vietnam Project announced

Saudi Arabia Project planned by KOGAS (300 ktpy in 2013)

United States 12,000 liter/day modular plant planned (2012)

Papua New Guinea 200 ktpy planned (2016)

Japan 80 ktpy operational

Which matches more or less with countries interested in DME!

Mongolia Choir & Tavan Tolgoi Projects 2015 ?

Key Drivers and Current Opportunities

1. Introduction of standards Anticipated in China in 2012 Likely to encourage confidence, investment,

and growth in market

2. Low-Carbon fuel requirements BioDME in combination with fossil-based

DME offers attractive option to regulators and fleet owners required to introduce clean transportation fuels

3. LPG blend stock Already commercial at small but rapidly

growing scale Utilizing existing LPG infrastructure for

distribution and utilization

Coal monetization Market pull for new energy supplies, security

of supply

8 8

Key Drivers and Future Opportunities

1. Renewable feedstock integration e.g. Piteå Electricity + H2O + CO2

Wind and solar

2. Integration with existing fuels

LPG Diesel Other ethers

3. No integration use

Dedicated road transport fleets Maritime transport
