2 Part 2 - Assessment outcomes It is compulsory to complete Tables 2.1 to 2.3 for each entity (subsidiary, business unit, key activity or site) that has been assessed. Table 2.1 Assessment details Name of entity Visy Pulp & Paper 9&10 Tumut A. Total corporate energy use in the last financial year Between 11,483,926 & 13,780,711 GJ B. Total energy use covered by assessments Between 11,483,926 & 13,780,711 GJ C. Total percentage of energy use assessed (B A) x 100 100% % Description of the way in which the entity carried out its assessment: The second Energy Efficiency Opportunity Assessment for Visy Pulp & Paper Tumut was conducted in 2013 in accordance with the new assessment plan. Visy s Energy Department co-ordinated the implementation of the EEO framework internally with the assistances from the Department and a specialist engineering consultancy group Balance Energy in assessing the sites detail energy balance and project identification and evaluation. Opportunities identified in the mass and energy balance provided an initial list of projects which were reviewed and discussed in conferences and onsite workshops. Skills and knowledge were drawn upon from personnel from various level and departments along with internal and external specialist. Outcomes of the assessment will be incorporated and updated in the internal energy project list to provide continual status update.

Reporting this data is voluntary.
4 Table 2.3 - Details of significant opportunities identified in the assessment It is compulsory to report at least 1 example of a significant opportunity for improving the energy efficiency for the controlling corporation that has been identified in assessments. If a corporation has structured assessments to relate to business units or key activities they should report one significant opportunity for each of those entities to which the assessment applies. Description of opportunity No. 1 Opportunity exists in the current high pressure steam system whereby a piping connection is made to two existing separate steam headers. This will allow greater flexibility in steam distribution to the existing turbines and maximising the power generation. A bridging pipe would allow a portion of steam currently bypassed through a pressure reduction valve to be diverted to a steam turbine and generating additional power for the site. Description of opportunity No. 2 - voluntary Description of opportunity No 3 - voluntary
5 Please note that the Description of opportunity above should include information on the specific nature and type of opportunity as well as information on the type of equipment and/or process involved. Part 2 - Assessment outcomes It is compulsory to complete Tables 2.1 to 2.3 for each entity (subsidiary, business unit, key activity or site) that has been assessed. Table 2.1 Assessment details Name of entity Visy Paper 3&6 Smithfield A. Total corporate energy use in the last financial year Between 1,599,707 & 1,919,648 GJ B. Total energy use covered by assessments Between 1,599,707 & 1,919,648 GJ C. Total percentage of energy use assessed (B A) x 100 100% % Description of the way in which the entity carried out its assessment: The second Energy Efficiency Opportunity Assessment for Visy Paper Smithfield was conducted in 2013 by using learning and knowledge gained from the past assessments. A dedicated engineer was employed to carry out the assessment with involvements from various levels of plant s operation team and the Energy Department. Systematic mass and energy balances were carried out on the steam system to identify losses and opportunities. Electric motors over a minimum threshold size were investigated to evaluate its saving potential. Outcomes of assessment are documented in a comprehensive assessment report with new learning s shared among the group.

If a corporation has structured assessments to relate to business units or key activities they should report one significant opportunity for each of those entities to which the assessment applies. Description of opportunity No. 1 Effluent from the paper mill is treated in a waste water treatment plant prior to leaving the site. Biogas is generated through this process is currently flared. This present an opportunity to utilise the gas in a turbine to generate power for the site. Detail study was completed by an external vendor and is currently under review.
