Greenhouse Gas Emissions Data Request Form

1. NICSA Greenhouse Gas Emissions Data Request Form Instructions for completing the form

2. NICSA Preliminaries • The greenhouse gas data application form is for Nicsa's suppliers to provide emissions data for the life cycle of the products they supply so that we can draw up an inventory of greenhouse gas emissions for Abengoa companies. • Suppliers must complete one form for each line or item on the order. Should the products on any one order be similar in terms of composition, they must be grouped together in one single report and reference to the fact that they have been grouped together must be made in the order ID information (see next page).

3. NICSA 0. Heading • This section is particularly important and helps those who have to validate the report identify the order and supplies to which it refers. • Accordingly, suppliers must provide the company's name, the product associated with the report, the Nicsa order number and the month and year of registration of the order. • They must also provide the quantity of products supplied (with the units in which said information is given) and each product unit weight.

4. NICSA 1. Total GHG Emissions • This section must be completed after all the calculations necessary for obtaining the total figure for greenhouse gas emissions have been made and it must contain the sum of the emissions that correspond to the following areas. • If the supplier has a product life-cycle analysis or environmental declaration, all the supplier has to do is indicate the total tons of CO2 associated with the extraction, manufacture and distribution of the product and attach a document with evidence of said information. • The total GHG emissions associated with the supplied product must be given in equivalent tons of CO2.

5. NICSA 2.1 Product Composition • The table must be completed with the materials used in the product and their corresponding percentages in weight. • The materials shown in the table must account for at least 90% in weight of the supplied product.

6. NICSA 2.2 Fuel Consumption • This section must be completed if the supplier uses facilities or machinery that involve combustion processes; otherwise, it should be completed with 'not applicable' (N/A). • This section must be completed with information on the type of combustion machinery or facility, the type of fuel used and the quantity of fuel consumed (in kg*) during the reference year. • Not all the fuel consumed by the machinery or facility has been used to manufacture the product to which the report refers. The quantity of fuel used exclusively in the product manufacturing process is calculated by multiplying the quantity of total fuel by one of the ratios explained on the next page. *The quantity of fuel is normally given in liters. To convert it into units of mass, the figure must be multiplied by the density of the fuel used.

7. NICSA Ratios • Ratios are used to associate part of the fuel or electricity consumed by the supplier with the manufacture of the product to which the report refers. • Various ratios can be applied depending on the data available to the supplier, who must choose one of them. • R1 = Quantity products supplied (tons) / Annual total production factory (tons) • R2 = Quantity product supplied (units) / Annual total production factory (units) • R3 = Number of hours associated with supplied product / Annual number of factory working hours • R4 = Amount billed to Nicsa for the supplied product / Total amount billed.

8. NICSA 2.3 Electrical or Thermal Energy Consumption • This section must be completed with the total electrical or thermal energy consumption for the reference year and the amount of energy that corresponds to the product manufacturing process. • Accordingly, the method used in the previous section must be applied by multiplying the total amount of energy by one of the ratios.

9. NICSA 3. Haulage of Raw Materials and Finished Product • In this section, the distance from source to factory must be given for each raw material included in section 2.1, indicating the country of origin and the means of transport used. • Similarly, the finished product table must be completed with the distance from the factory to Nicsa's facilities.

10. NICSA 4. Information on Emissions • This is the most important section and is used to calculate CO2 emissions for each of the areas on which information is provided. • Suppliers may encounter difficulties for obtaining information about certain areas. In this case, Nicsa will award the supplier a lower quality index* depending on the quantity and quality of the information provided. • At the end of this section, suppliers must remember to add up all the emissions and include the resulting figure in section 1. *Quality index: value associated with each emissions figure for each source and greenhouse gas and with each parameter used to calculate the emissions; it indicates data reliability level. Increasing numerical values for the quality index indicate more reliable data.

11. NICSA 4. Emissions Associated with the Extraction and/or Production of Raw Materials • In this table, suppliers must again include the raw materials provided in section 2.1 and the emissions associated with their extraction and/or production in equivalent tons of CO2. • To calculate the emissions, suppliers must multiply the weight of each raw material (unit product weight x total product quantity x percentage of raw material) by the material emission factor. The figure must then be converted into tons. • The following link points to a database for calculating the life-cycle analysis of various products: http://lca.jrc.ec.europa.eu/lcainfohub/databaseList.vm

12. NICSA Fuel consumption x Net calorific value 4. Fuel Emissions • Combustion greenhouse gases include CO2 and, to a lesser extent, CH4 and N2O. The emissions of each gas are calculated as follows: Emission = Activity data x Gas emission factor Fuel consumption is the figure given in section 2.2 (the figure chosen must be the quantity used to manufacture the supplied product) The net calorific value can be obtained from the following sources: • IPCC Guidelines: http://www.ipcc-nggip.iges.or.jp/public/2006gl/index.html (Volume 2, Introduction, Page 19) • Last National Inventory submitted to the Secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change:http://unfccc.int/national_reports/annex_i_ghg_inventories/national_inventories_submissions/items/4303.php The unit used for the consumption figure (e.g. kg of diesel oil) must be taken into account when obtaining the activity figure in TJ

13. NICSA 4. Fuel Emissions • The gas emission factor data (CO2, CH4 and N2O) can be obtained from the following sources: • IPCC Guidelines: http://www.ipcc-nggip.iges.or.jp/public/2006gl/vol2.html. Choose depending on fuel type (stationary or mobile). • Last National Inventory submitted to the Secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change:http://unfccc.int/national_reports/annex_i_ghg_inventories/national_inventories_submissions/items/4303.php Choose the inventory of the country of origin and find the emission factors depending on the facility type

14. NICSA Example Calculation of Fuel Emissions • We have a consumption of 50kg of diesel oil for a forklift. First of all, the quantity must be converted into liters of diesel oil by multiplying the figure by its density. Volume of diesel oil (l) = 50 kg x 0.85 kg/l = 42.5 kg of diesel oil. • To calculate the activity figure, we multiply consumption by the net calorific value obtained from the IPCC guidelines: First of all, take the units (TJ/Gg) and convert the kg into Gg: 42.5 kg = 0.0000425 Gg AD (Activity Data) = 0.0000425 Gg x 43 TJ/Gg = = 0.0018275 TJ

15. NICSA Example Calculation of Fuel Emissions • To calculate fuel emissions, we use the figures given in the IPCC Guidelines. In this case, we choose mobile combustion since the combustion takes place in forklifts; and we take the emission factors for CO2, CH4 and N2O for diesel. Combustion emissions = AD (Activity Data) x EF (Emission Factor) CO2 emissions = 0.0018275 TJ x 74100 kg CO2/TJ = = 135.418 kg CO2 CH4 emissions = 0.0018275 TJ x 3.9 kg CH4/TJ = = 0.00713 kg CH4 N2O emissions = 0.0018275 TJ x 3.9 kg N2O/TJ = = 0.00712 kg N2O

16. NICSA 4. Thermal and Electrical Energy Emissions • To calculate the tons of CO2 emitted by thermal and electrical energy consumption, we multiply the energy consumption associated with the supplied product by the emission factor for electricity or thermal energy. • Remember to convert the units into tons. • This emission factor can be obtained from: • Directly from the electricity bill. • Energy regulation bodies (in Spain, the CNE) • An average emission factor can be used for each country or region.

17. NICSA 4. Supplies Haulage Emissions • Haulage of raw materials: these emissions can be obtained by multiplying the kilometers traveled by each material in section 3 by their specific weight and the emission factor for the means of transport used. • Example: Light fitting weighing 10kg, made of: • Steel 40%  1200km • Aluminum 60%  700km Steel = 40% x 10kg /(1000kg/t) x 1200km x 0.072kg CO2/t/km/(1000 kg/t) = 0.000346 t CO2 Aluminum = 60% x 10kg/(1000kg/t) x 700km x 0.072kg CO2/t/km/(1000 kg/t) = 0.0003024 t CO2 Total raw materials haulage emissions = 0.000346 + 0.0003024 = 0.000648 t CO2

18. NICSA • Finished product haulage: to calculate finished product emissions, we multiply the total weight of the supplied product (quantity x unit weight) by the kilometers given in section 3.1 by the emission factor for the means of transport used to transport the product from the factory to Nicsa's facilities. • Remember to convert it into tons of CO2. • Finally, all the resulting emissions are added together and included in section 1. • It is important to complete the name and position in the company of the person completing the form and the date on which it is completed. .
