14 Climate Change A carbon constrained future is a reality Almost all sectors face some degree of change Opportunity to encourage new the growth of new sectors and the investment therein Green job security growing
15 Carbon Market U.S. carbon futures market expected to be worth $2 trillion in 5 years Commodity Futures Trading Commission (Commissioner Bart Chilton), June 2009
16 Climate Change, the global response and carbon markets Market mechanisms are recognised as a tool to encourage private sector and developing country participation move to cleaner technology Carbon markets worth approx. $126 billion in 2008 ($63 billion in 2007) Lets firms or nations buy and sell greenhouse gas emissions offsets to meet both voluntary and mandatory targets CDM: companies in developing countries can qualify to sell carbon credits, known as Certified Emission Reductions (CER s), in global commodity markets when they reduce their output of environmentally harmful substances. Example: Omnia credits a year 18 Euro* per credit = 9 million Euros a year = R112.5 million per year for 5 year *Source: ThomsonReuters - average price of Exchange traded Dec. 08 CER s on 22 October 2008
17 Key findings: Government initiatives/sentiment No legislation limiting GHG emissions Strong indication from July 2008 that limits will be imposed: release of the LTMS and the approach adopted by cabinet Need for a clear negotiating position for a post-kyoto framework as a developing country Already a carbon tax of sorts in the form of the 2c/kwh levied on electricity from non-renewables Press statements on a carbon tax starting at R100 per ton of CO2e Tax position on primary CER s announced by NT (2009 Budget speech)
18 Key findings: International market activity Carbon market tending towards being a truly global market Mitigation happens when carbon is priced i.e. internalisation of an externality Boosted by the Kyoto Protocol s recognition of market mechanisms i.e. putting a price on carbon Well intermediated market Dominated by OTC trade but increasing on-market volumes Private sector (exchanges) providing the platforms, tools and instruments to support regulatory objectives

20 Primary CDM and JI Buyers Source: World Bank, May 2009
21 Location of CDM Projects (Sellers) Source: World Bank, May 2009
22 Key findings: Market predictions Value predictions for 2020 for the compliance market based on various carbon price assumptions Price per tonne (Euros) Market Value in Euro (using Main scenario volumes of 40 Gt) billion 25 1 trillion 50 2 trillion trillion Source: Point Carbon, May 2008
23 Key findings: Local market activity Comparatively low number of CDM projects in SA No natural buyers locally Few credits freely available for trading Credits being banked or forward sold Low incidence of voluntary credits Market feels that a transparent price discovery mechanism is critical (also consider the impact of the financial crisis and the call for greater transparency in financial instruments) All project owners seeing a high demand for their credits from compliance buyers Project owners cautious due to lack of certainty around regulation and lack of government support via incentives etc.
24 How does this affect the entities we invest in? Global pressure to start limiting emissions Local companies already exposed in certain sectors (export industries) Revenue impact Penalties for high emitters/energy intensive users Carbon credit trading revenue Increasing governance and reporting requirements
25 The risks? Project risk Type of technology and methodology Duration of project (value of credits increase the more certain they become) Experience of the project developers Global agreement uncertainty Will the mechanism be recognised in future? What will the obligation of developing countries be? To what extent will developed countries take on targets (impacting demand for compliance credits)
26 What business needs to drive Greater involvement in the development of the national strategy Input to government as to what the key issues are Transparent and efficient registries Timeous and accurate reporting Clarity regarding tax, and incentives to give greater certainty to investment decisions What business thinks is the optimal way to tackle the issue Voluntary emissions trading?
27 The Role of the JSE An exchange provides the platform/s to facilitate the trading, clearing and settlement of tradable instruments and commodities. SA market trusts the JSE brand and positive at the prospect of JSE involvement in the market Has the interest in providing relevant support services Ready to consider using our platforms to support the trade in carbon or other environment-related goods and instruments e.g. renewable energy certificates Would like to be involved in the market development process and willing to serve on related forums and committees Has already begun exposing investors to carbon as an asset class Has established relationships with most large emitters by virtue of their listing on the JSE
