OSMOTIC POWER

- A NEW, RENEWABLE SOURCE OF ENERGY

Berlin Stein Erik Skilhagen January 2012 Head of Osmotic Power WITHIN RENEWABLES No. 1 IN EUROPE RENEWABLE 89% ENERGY POWER AND DISTRICT 283 HEATING PLANTS OF ’S POWER 33% GENERATION ...IN MORE THAN 3200 20 EMPLOYEES... COUNTRIES STATKRAFT’S STRATEGY

Deliver growth in pure energy Flexible European generation and market operations

International

Wind power

District heating Small scale hydropower

3  Meeting future energy and climate needs requires high growth and huge investments in renewables, across a broad range of technologies

 Osmotic power forms a natural part of the new portfolio, providing clean baseload energy with low environmental impact,..

...requiring cost reductions, a conducive policy framework and a critical mass of developers to succeed

8 Company presentation 2009 THE OSMOTIC POWER CONCEPT WHY OSMOTIC POWER?

Constant power generation - “

Small ecological footprint

Decentralised source of energy

Based on proven technology, except Membrane & Module ABUNDANT RESOURCES

Resource criteria • Salt water with sufficient salinity • availability and Global potential: 1600 - 1700 TWh/year* quality • Short distance European potential: 180 TWh/year* between salt water 11 * Source: Statkraft and fresh water 2009 – WORLD FIRST PROTOTYPE

• “Proof of concept” • System scale-up • Membrane and component testing and optimisation • Operation and maintenance experience MATURE AND IMMATURE COMPONENTS

Osmotic Power illustration (prototype)

Examples of immature components Membrane Pressure Pre- elements exchanger treatment

Fresh water Sea water Water Brackish water Valves Turbine pipes Examples of mature components PROTOTYPE – MAIN ACTIVITIES Operation since 2009 Main activities

Test membrane performance and monitor operation

Develop cleaning and maintenance of membranes

Test of high pressure units (turbine, energy recovery unit, valves etc.)

Pretreatment fresh water optimization

Pretreatment optimization

Design and operation of single membrane module test units MEMBRANE PARTNER

Statkraft and Nitto Denko/Hydranautics have entered into an agreement in June 2011 for the development and supply of membranes for osmotic power to accelerate the development.

Statkraft operated Other utility operated PILOT PLANT KEY CHALLENGES

Technology “good enough” for scaling up and reducing cost of energy

Available site with good water resources

Concession for building a 1-2 MW pilot plant

Governmental support for developing osmotic power as a new, promising renewable source of energy

Utilization of the pilot plant for industry development and bringing the technology down the learning curve  Meeting future energy and climate needs requires high growth and huge investments in renewables, across a broad range of technologies

Manufacturers Governments

• Technology suppliers • Increase awareness of osmotic integrated in the development power among policy makers of the technology and governments

• In a wide time-frame, • Establish regulation for site competition contributes to development and support for industrial growth deployment

• Osmotic power to be perceived Utilities • Secure access to sites for pilot as an attractive business plant and demonstration plant opportunity for membrane & • Deployment of osmotic power component manufacturers • Define needs and requirements towards technology suppliers and policy makers VISION FOR OSMOTIC POWER: “A GLOBAL FOOTPRINT BY 2030”

OP is spreading across the world 30 plants in operation worldwide Support schemes have helped OP move down the learning curve Price of OP power is 50-100 €/MWh1

OP an important business for Statkraft OP breakthrough has given a major publicity boost to Statkraft and the government Statkraft has a leading position in OP Statkraft operated operation in Europe Other utility operated Statkraft is organising the 3rd Membrane summit in Barcelona – April 26-27. Past events in has been sucessfully organised in 2008 in Amsterdam and 2010 in San Diego

Organised as a post-event for EDS’ Desalination Conference
