Slide 5: Provision of energy will continue to evolve with alternative energy
The provision of energy will continue to evolve with “alternative energy” driven by supply & demand pressures or social and economic imperatives Alternative Energy Energy sources or energy technologies which are not yet economic, but which can be made so through continued research and development or
Slide 6: History of investing in new or alternative energy applications
Origin and its predecessor companies have a history of investing in new or alternative energy applications… • Automotive LPG as an alternative fuel in the 60’s • Compressed natural gas vehicles • Geothermal “water furnace” technologies • LPG flame weeding technology (alternative to herbicides) • Hyd
Slide 7: Consistent approach to alternative energy technologies
Our approach to alternative energy technologies has been consistent across this time… • In the long term, is the new technology or source of energy capable of operating in a competitive market without subsidies? • Can Origin bring a competitive advantage to the development of this technology? • If s
Slide 8: Primary aim is to invest in technologies economic in their own right
