Today s energy challenges Cut link between growth, energy use and emissions Meeting these challenges requires the world to: Reduce the correlation between economic growth and energy use Reduce the correlation between energy use and emissions Energy efficiency Renewable sources of energy April 15, 2010 Slide 2
The case for energy efficiency Energy efficiency is main source of potential emissions reductions Source: International Energy Agency, World Energy Outlook 2008 *CCS: carbon catpure and storage 45 Gt CO 2 40 35 30 7.65 Gt 63% 14.85 Gt 54% Energy efficiency Renewables & biofuels Nuclear & CCS* Potential saving 25 Emissions 20 15 Reference scenario: current energy policies 10 Policy scenario 1: aims to cut emissions to year 2000 levels by 2050 5 0 2006 emissions 2030 reference scenario 2030 policy scenario one Savings scenario one 2030 policy scenario two Savings scenario two Policy scenario 2: aims to cut emissions to 50 percent of 2000 levels by 2050 April 15, 2010 Slide 3
Reducing losses along the energy chain ABB technology helping at every step Primary energy Transport Generation T&D Industrial processes Industrial production Available energy Improved well efficiency Higher pipeline flows More efficient fuel combustion Lower line losses, higher substation efficiency ABB technology can double energy productivity Improved productivity More efficient motors & drives Process Automation Marine & pipelines Power plant automation Grid operation Process automation Drives & motors April 15, 2010 Slide 4
Key technologies High-efficiency motors About two-thirds of electricity consumed by industry is used to run electric motors Cost of buying a motor is ca. 3% of its lifetime cost: energy consumption is ca. 94% (and rest is maintenance) One high efficiency 75 MW motor (3% higher than standard efficiency*) can save 23,000 kwh, corresponding to 11.5 tons of CO 2, in one year of continuous operation A single pulp and paper factory can have 2,000 motors running continuously *NEMA designation April 15, 2010 Slide 5

Drivers Law requirements Voluntary approach April 15, 2010 Slide 9
Fronte legislativo In France, a law is going to require that all high volume consumer products sold in France must bear an EPD, designed in accordance with the guidance produced by the French Standardization body, AFNOR (Association Française de Normalisation). That requirement comes into force at the end of 2010. We can expect the other EU countries to follow soon afterwards. Due to new law «Grenelle de l Environnement», the products dedicated to B to C and use for building segment must have a environmental written information: Product for B to C: Platform ADEME Environmental information Product for Building segment: Must have a completed file (FDES Fiche de donnée environnementale et Sanitaire) accessible in database INIES April 15, 2010 Slide 10

Customers requests - 1 E.g. In each order (or contract) placed by.. and its affiliates to any company of the ABB group ("ABB"), there is a contractual requirement to communicate the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with the supply included in the order. The GHG covered in the inventory are the GHG of the Kyoto Protocol: - Carbon dioxide (CO2) - Methane (CH4) - Nitrous oxide (N2O) - Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC) - Perfluorocarbons (PFC) - Sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) April 15, 2010 Slide 13
Customer requests - 2 The scope of supply delivered could include ABB products, products of third companies, freight, services and travel. For the current process, there are two kinds of ABB products: a) ABB products with Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) ABB has published EPD for more than 80 products. Therefore, when any of these products/products families are specified in an order/contract, ABB can supply the existing GWP data for that product, rather than making a new calculation. b) ABB products without EPD For many ABB products, there is no EPD and the GWP should be calculated or estimated. A tool allows the calculation or the estimation of this data. April 15, 2010 Slide 14
