Sheikh Shakhboot said: “The UAE and African nations share a firm belief in the tremendous
potential that clean energy offers Africa to unlock economic and climate action progress. That is
why the UAE launched Etihad 7 last year at ADSW, a program dedicated to accelerating universal
access to clean energy across Africa by supplying clean energy to 100 million people by 2035.
The signings made this week at ADSW 2023 demonstrate the great traction that we have gained
and the milestones that we have achieved together over the past year.”
Dr Sultan Al Jaber, UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology, COP28 President
Designate, and Chairman of Masdar, said: “The UAE is committed to advancing sustainable
development in the Global South – and especially in our brotherly nations in Africa.
These landmark agreements, which aim to deliver up to 5 GW of energy to Angola, Uganda, and
Zambia, follow last year’s signing of a 2 GW agreement for renewable energy projects in Tanzania.
These further agreements will be transformative to local communities and will help African nations
to drive economic growth for their people while still meeting net-zero objectives.”
The agreements signed under the Etihad 7 umbrella at ADSW 2023 are:
· An agreement with Angola’s Ministry of Energy and Water for the development of renewable
energy projects with a total capacity of 2 GW.
* An agreement with Uganda’s Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development for the development of
greenfield renewable projects with a total installed capacity of 1 GW.
· An agreement with Zambia’s Ministry of Energy, and Zambian national utility ZESCO Limited for
the joint development of develop solar, wind, and hydroelectricity projects with a total capacity of 2
GW. –

UAE to get first methanol facility under new agreement
Khoder Nashar, WAM (Emirates News Agency)
Abu Dhabi Chemicals Derivatives Company RSC Ltd (TA’ZIZ) and PROMAN AG (Proman), one of
the world’s leading producers of methanol, have signed a shareholders' agreement to develop the
UAE’s first world-scale methanol production facility at the TA’ZIZ Industrial Chemicals Zone in Al
Ruways Industrial City, Abu Dhabi.
The facility has an anticipated annual capacity of up
to 1.8 million tonnes and will meet growing domestic
and international demand for this clean and versatile
chemical commodity. Methanol has a variety of uses
including in fuels, solvents, pharmaceuticals and
construction materials and has growing potential as a
lower-emission fuel, particularly in the maritime
sector.
Khaleefa Yousef Al Mheiri, TA’ZIZ Acting Chief
Executive Officer, said, “This agreement continues to
build momentum at TA’ZIZ and advances our mission
to diversify the UAE’s economy and accelerate
industrial development. Our partnership with Proman underlines the UAE’s attractiveness as a
destination for international partners and investors as we progress plans to produce methanol at
world-scale in Al Ruways. New chemicals in the UAE will enable new local supply chains and
support long-term industrial growth for Abu Dhabi’s private sector.”
Methanol production in the UAE is in line with the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology’s
mission to diversify the UAE’s economy and accelerate industrial development. Growth of this
versatile chemical is expected to be driven by emerging economies in Africa and Asia, while in the
UAE it will support decreased reliance on imports, enabling local manufacturers to “Make it In the
Emirates” and establish greater resiliency among domestic supply chains.
Richard Brink, Managing Director Proman in the UAE, stated, “We welcome the shareholders’
agreement, which is a vital next step towards Abu Dhabi’s first world-scale methanol plant. As well
as being Proman’s first investment in the UAE, we are working to ensure that this proposed project
will be one of the most technologically advanced and low-emission natural gas-to-methanol facilities
in the world. With growing global demand for methanol as a cleaner fuel, this agreement
demonstrates the huge potential for the TA’ZIZ Industrial Chemicals Zone and Abu Dhabi’s evolving
downstream industry.”
TA’ZIZ continues to advance at pace with site preparation underway and a Joint Venture
incorporation agreement for the development of a world-scale ethylene dichloride (EDC), chlor-
alkali, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) production facility signed with Reliance Industries Limited and
Shaheen Chem Holdings Investments LLC (Shaheen). Fertiglobe, Mitsui & Co., Ltd (Mitsui) and GS
Energy Corporation (GS Energy) are also partnering with TA’ZIZ to develop a world-scale low-
carbon ammonia facility.
The total investment in the first phase of TA’ZIZ will be in excess of US$5 billion (AED18 billion),
with most of the chemicals produced in the UAE for the first time. All agreements are subject to
regulatory approvals.
Launched at the end of 2020, by ADNOC and ADQ, TA’ZIZ is driving and enabling expansion of Al
Ruways Industrial City, as well as Abu Dhabi’s wider chemicals, manufacturing and industrial
sectors.

Iran's oil exports surged late last year despite ongoing sanctions by the U.S. and other countries
amid strong demand from China and Venezuela, according to companies tracking Iranian oil
shipments.
The Iranian energy sector has been subject to U.S. sanctions since 2018 when then-President
Donald Trump withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal over concerns about Iran violating its terms by
using advanced centrifuges to enrich uranium. That caused Iranian oil exports to decline to as little
as 100,000 barrels per day (bpd) in 2020 from over 2.5 million bpd in 2018, according to tanker
trackers.
President Joe Biden entered office in 2021 looking to re-enter the JCPOA and get more oil onto
global markets as energy prices surged in the last two years. However, Iran's crackdown on anti-
regime protesters in recent months, in addition to its sales of drones and missiles to Russia for use
in Ukraine have left those negotiations at an impasse.
Despite the ongoing sanctions, Iran's oil exports ticked up last year to their highest level since 2019
according to several firms that track those shipments.

Energy consultant SVB International said Iran's crude exports in December averaged 1.137 million
barrels per day (bpd), up 42,000 bpd from November and the highest 2022 figure SVB has reported
based on estimates given earlier.
"In comparison to the Trump administration, there hasn't been any serious crackdown or action
against Iran's oil exports," said Sara Vakhshouri of SVB. "January exports were so far strong like
previous months."
Several other energy analysis firms noted the upward trend in Iran's oil exports. Consultant Petro-
Logistics, which tracks oil supply, noted that in its view, Iran's oil exports in December reached their
highest level since March 2019.
Kpler, a data intelligence firm, put Iranian crude exports at 1.23 million bpd in November – the most
since August 2022 – although they fell below 1 million bpd in December.
While the Iranian government doesn't regularly release data on its oil exports, a draft state budget
reported by the semi-official Fars News Agency showed it was based on shipments of 1.4 million
bpd.
China is the largest consumer of Iranian oil exports, many of which are rebranded as crude from
other countries as a means of avoiding sanctions according to analysts including FGE. Energy
analytics firm Vortexa reported that China's imports of Iranian oil reached a record of 1.2 million bpd
in December, up 130% from a year prior.
"Most of these shipments found home in Shandong, where independent refiners have turned to
discounted grades since the second half of 2022 amid sluggish domestic demand and depressed
refining margins," the company said.
Iran also diversified its oil exports last year by upping shipments to Venezuela, which is also subject
to U.S. sanctions, where supplies of light oil can be refined or diluted to produce exportable crude
grades.

U.S: Increasing renewables likely to reduce coal and natural gas
U.S. Energy Information Administration, Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO)
In our latest Short-Term Energy Outlook, we expect that increased U.S. power generation from new
renewables capacity—mostly wind and solar—will reduce generation from both coal-fired and
natural gas-fired power plants in 2023 and 2024.
With the new solar and wind projects coming online this year, we forecast these two energy sources
will account for 16% of total generation in 2023, up from 14% last year and 8% in 2018. In contrast,
our forecast share of generation from coal falls from 20% in 2022 to 18% in 2023; the forecast share
from natural gas declines from 39% to 38%.
One of the most significant shifts in the mix of U.S. electricity generation over the past few years
has been the rapid expansion of renewable energy resources, especially solar and wind.
The U.S. electric power sector operated about 74 gigawatts (GW) of solar photovoltaic capacity at
the end of 2022, which is about three times the capacity at the end of 2017. U.S. wind power has
grown by more than 60% since 2017 to about 143 GW of capacity.
Based on planned additions reported to EIA, solar capacity will expand another 63 GW (84%) by
the end of 2024, which is consistent with its declining construction costs and favorable tax credits.
As a result of this expected increase in solar capacity, we forecast that the solar generation share
will rise from 3% of U.S. generation last year to 5% in 2023 and 6% in 2024. Scheduled growth in
wind power is slightly slower this year than in recent years, at about 12 GW of new planned capacity
over the next two years.
The forecast wind generation share in 2023 remains relatively similar to last year, averaging 11%,
and then increases to 12% in 2024.

Much of the growth in solar capacity is in Texas and California, where natural gas has been the
primary source of electricity.
A growing share of generation from renewables, combined with our forecast of less overall electricity
demand this year, displaces some natural gas generation, which will decline slightly, falling from
39% in 2022 to 38% this year and to 37% in 2024.
We also expect that the coal generation share will decline by two percentage points to 18% this
year, as lower natural gas fuel costs make coal a less competitive source for electricity supply. Our
forecast of coal generation falls again in 2024 to 17%.

Oil prices retreat in thin trade, but China outlook offers support
Reuters + NewBase
Oil prices drifted lower in early trade on Monday, thinned by the Lunar New Year holiday in east
Asia, but held on to most of last week's gains on the prospect of an economic recovery in top oil
importer China this year.
Brent crude futures was down by 46 cents, or 0.5%, to $87.17 at 0349 GMT, while U.S. West Texas
Intermediate (WTI) crude futures fell 36 cents, or down 0.4%, to $81.28 a barrel. Last week Brent
rose 2.8%, while the U.S. benchmark logged a 1.8% gain.
Analysts said that the optimism around China's reopening will likely drive oil prices higher.
Sukrit Vijayakar, director of energy consultancy Trifecta in Mumbai said the market wants to
preserve long positions in case China growth resumes.
Data shows a solid pick-up in travel in China after COVID-19 curbs were eased, ANZ commodity
analysts said in a note, pointing to a 22% jump in road traffic congestion so far this month from a
year earlier in the country's 15 key cities.

International Energy Agency head Fatih Birol on Friday said energy markets could tighten this year
if the Chinese economy rebounds the way financial institutions expect.
"I wouldn't be too relaxed about the markets, and 2023 may well be a year where we see tighter
markets than some colleagues may think," Birol told Reuters, speaking on the sidelines of the World
Economic Forum annual meeting in Davos.
The jump in China's traffic ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday bodes well for fuel demand after
the two-week vacation. "The expected surge in demand comes as the market braces for further
sanctions on Russian oil," ANZ analysts said.
The European Union and Group of Seven (G7) coalition will cap prices of Russian refined products
starting on Feb. 5, in addition to their price cap on Russian crude in place since December and an
EU embargo on imports of Russian crude by sea.
The G7 has agreed to delay a review of the level of the price cap on Russian oil to March, a month
later than originally planned, to give time to assess the impact of the oil products price caps.

US, Allies Agree to Review Russian Crude Price Cap in March
Officials from the US and allied nations agreed to undertake a review of the level of the Russian
crude price cap in March and to move toward instituting price caps on Russian refined fuel products.
The agreement came in discussions among officials in the price-cap coalition, according to a US
Treasury statement Friday, following US Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo’s virtual
meeting with other deputy ministers.
Some EU member states, including Poland and Estonia, have pushed for a price cap even lower
than the current $60 pe r barrel, to further limit Russian revenues. But the US has pushed to keep
that price level ahead of the additional curbs on the trade in refined Russian fuel.
“The Deputies agreed to an approach for refined products that will institute two distinct caps, in
addition to the crude cap: one cap for products that generally trade at a premium to crude, such as
diesel or gasoil, and one for products that trade at a discount to crude, such as fuel oil,” the Treasury
Department said.
There has been pressure to agree on a price cap on Russian fuel before an EU ban goes into effect
in February. The EU imported about 220 million barrels of diesel-type product from Russia last year,
according to Vortexa Ltd. data compiled by Bloomberg. The fuel is vital to the bloc’s economy,
powering cars, trucks, manufacturing equipment and more.
Still, diesel traders are diverting cargoes of the fuel away from the EU, suggesting that, despite the
impending collapse in Russian cargo deliveries to the bloc, the US may have an even more acute
supply situation. Freezing weather halted more than a third of Texas Gulf Coast oil-refining capacity
late last year and a key fuel pipeline to New York Harbour was also recently closed.

Sustainable aviation fuel – SAF - production
NewBase + NOC
SAF stands for sustainable aviation fuel. It’s produced from sustainable feedstocks and is very
similar in its chemistry to traditional fossil jet fuel. Using SAF results in a reduction in carbon
emissions compared to the traditional jet fuel it replaces over the lifecycle of the fuel.
Some typical feedstocks used are cooking oil and other non-palm waste oils from animals or plants;
solid waste from homes and businesses, such as packaging, paper, textiles, and food scraps that
would otherwise go to landfill or incineration.
Other potential sources include forestry waste, such as waste wood, and energy crops, including
fast growing plants and algae. Air bp’s SAF is currently made from used cooking oil and animal
waste fat.
The aviation industry are collectively committed to ambitious emissions reduction goals.
Sustainable Aviation Fuel has been identified as one of the key elements in helping achieve these
goals.

Governmental support is essential to using sustainable aviation fuels to achieve the industry's
climate goals.
 Over 450,000 flights have taken to the skies using SAF
 7 technical pathways exist
 Over 100 million litres of SAF were produced in 2021
 SAF can reduce emissions by up to 80% during its full lifecycle
 Over 17 billion US dollars of SAF are in forward purchase agreements in 2022
 More than 50 airlines now have experience with SAF
Why is SAF important?
Jet fuel packs a lot of energy for its weight and it is this energy density that has really enabled
commercial flight. Today, there aren’t any other viable options for transporting groups of people
quickly over very long distances, so we’re dependent on this type of fuel in aviation.
A return flight between London and San Francisco has a carbon footprint per economy ticket of
nearly 1 tonne of CO2e. With the aviation industry expected to double to over 8 billion passengers
by 2050, it is essential that we act to reduce aviation’s carbon emissions and SAF is one way in
which Air bp is doing that.
How much carbon does it save?
SAF gives an impressive reduction of up to 80% in carbon emissions over the lifecycle of the fuel
compared to traditional jet fuel it replaces, depending on the sustainable
feedstock used, production method and the supply
chain to the airport.
What are Air bp's sources of SAF?
When it comes to sourcing SAF Air bp has a portfolio
approach. We agree off-take agreements with third-
party producers and this security of demand can help
these third parties secure investment. Secondly, we
invest in third-party production facilities.
Air bp’s collaboration with California-based Fulcrum is one
example. Air bp entered into a strategic partnership with Fulcrum BioEnergy in 2016 and Fulcrum
is building its first plant in Reno, Nevada, which will produce sustainable transport fuel made from
household waste.
Fulcrum intends to construct additional facilities and will supply Air bp with SAF from several
different plants. Thirdly, bp is investing in its own refineries and facilities. One such example is the
sale of ISCC plus SAF Air bp announced in July at bp’s Castellon refinery in Spain; and in October
2021 the refinery became the first globally to achieve the ISCC CORSIA certification.
Is it safe to use?
SAF can be blended at up to 50% with traditional jet fuel and all quality tests are completed as per
a traditional jet fuel. The blend is then re-certified as Jet A or Jet A-1. It can be handled in the same
way as a traditional jet fuel, so no changes are required in the fuelling infrastructure or for an aircraft
wanting to use SAF. In 2016, we were the first operator to commence commercial supply of SAF
through an existing hydrant fuelling system, at Norway’s Oslo Airport.

publication. However, no warranty is given to the accuracy of its content. Page 14
Is SAF suitable for all aircraft?
Any aircraft certified for using the current specification of jet fuel can use SAF.
How does the cost of SAF compare to traditional jet fuel?
SAF is currently more costly than traditional fossil jet fuel. That’s down to a combination of the
current availability of sustainable feedstocks and the continuing development of new production
technologies. As the technology matures it will become more efficient and so the expectation is that
it will become less costly for customers. We are seeing increased uptake of SAF as our customers
and their passengers increasingly recognize and value the benefits of the emission reductions.
Is SAF really the key to making aviation greener?
SAF can drop straight into existing infrastructure and aircraft. It has the potential to provide a
lifecycle carbon reduction of up to 80% compared to the traditional jet fuel it replaces. SAF will play
a really important role in meeting the aviation industry’s carbon reduction targets, however, we need
to use all the options to reduce carbon that we have available.

There are several broad opportunities for carbon reduction across the industry such as more
efficient aircraft design, smarter operations and the development of future technologies like
electrification. In that regard, in 2016 Air bp became the first aviation fuel supplier to be
independently certified carbon neutral for into-plane fuelling operations at all its global operated
locations.
So why aren’t more airlines using SAF?
At the moment, production of SAF is limited as the higher cost for SAF is preventing wider uptake.
Air bp is working on helping create more demand in the short-term which will lead to more production
and hopefully lower costs in future.
How can we accelerate the growth of SAF?
There is real commitment from the industry to reduce carbon emissions, but governments also need
to create the right policies to accelerate the growth of SAF. Increasing production requires long-
term policy certainty to reduce investment risks, as well as a focus on the research, development
and commercialization of improved production technologies and innovative sustainable
feedstocks.
On an individual level, some airlines are now providing passengers and corporate customers with
the option to fund the use of SAF in order to reduce emissions associated with your ticket, and we
think these are really positive initiatives.
The key to greater acceptance and deployment of SAF is reduction in costs. Over the long term,
that will require investment in advanced technologies to process feedstocks more efficiently at
greater scale and investment in the development of sustainable and scalable feedstock options.

However, in the short-term, interim support from governments and other stakeholders through policy
incentives is needed. This support needs to be part of a long-term framework to give investors the
confidence to make the big investments required to grow supply.
Sustainable aviation fuel – SAF - production in U.A.E
Masdar, Adnoc, bp, Tadweer (Abu Dhabi Waste Management Company) and Etihad Airways have
announced an agreement to conduct a joint feasibility study on exploring the production in the UAE
of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and other products.
The study will also look at producing renewable diesel and naphtha, using municipal solid waste
(MSW) and renewable hydrogen, it was announced at Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW)
2023.
The feasibility study will leverage the capabilities of the five partners to evaluate the technical and
commercial viability of such a project. If the study’s conclusions are positive, the partners will target
working toward developing the region’s first commercial-scale production capacity in Abu Dhabi.
Produced from sustainable feedstocks, such as municipal solid waste and renewable hydrogen,
SAF has the potential to reduce lifecycle carbon emissions on average by up to 80 percent during
its full lifecycle, compared to conventional jet fuel, according to the International Air Transport
Association (IATA).
This collaboration is designed to strengthen the UAE’s leadership position in low-carbon energy and
technology-driven industrial growth and will mark an important step in assessing the UAE’s potential
to become a global leader in SAF production, a statement said.
Aviation is a key industry in the UAE, supporting over 13 percent of the national gross domestic
product according to IATA economic data, and is set to continue to grow in the next decades. To
support the UAE Net Zero by 2050 Strategic Initiative, that growth must be sustainable. SAF is
currently the most viable proposition to help decarbonize the industry and has the potential to supply
international markets.

Khaed Al Awadi NewBase for discussion or further details on the news below you may contact us on +971504822502, Dubai, UAE U.A.E: Masdar to develop 5GW renewable projects in Angola, Uganda and Zambia TradeArabia News Service + NewBase Masdar has demonstrated its commitment to helping African nations in their clean energy transition by signing agreements at Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW) 2023 with three countries to develop renewable energy projects with a combined capacity of up to 5 gigawatts (GW). The agreements were signed under the umbrella of the Etihad 7 initiative, a UAE-led initiative that aims to raise public- and private-sector funds to invest in the development of Africa’s renewable energy sector. Etihad 7 was launched at ADSW 2022 by Sheikh Shakhboot Nahyan Al Nahyan, Minister of State in the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MoFAIC) with the aim of achieving 20 GW capacity to supply 100 million people across the continent with clean electricity by 2035. ww.linkedin.com/in/khaled-al-awadi-80201019/

Page 2 Sheikh Shakhboot said: “The UAE and African nations share a firm belief in the tremendous potential that clean energy offers Africa to unlock economic and climate action progress. That is why the UAE launched Etihad 7 last year at ADSW, a program dedicated to accelerating universal access to clean energy across Africa by supplying clean energy to 100 million people by 2035. The signings made this week at ADSW 2023 demonstrate the great traction that we have gained and the milestones that we have achieved together over the past year.” Dr Sultan Al Jaber, UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology, COP28 President Designate, and Chairman of Masdar, said: “The UAE is committed to advancing sustainable development in the Global South – and especially in our brotherly nations in Africa. These landmark agreements, which aim to deliver up to 5 GW of energy to Angola, Uganda, and Zambia, follow last year’s signing of a 2 GW agreement for renewable energy projects in Tanzania. These further agreements will be transformative to local communities and will help African nations to drive economic growth for their people while still meeting net-zero objectives.” The agreements signed under the Etihad 7 umbrella at ADSW 2023 are: · An agreement with Angola’s Ministry of Energy and Water for the development of renewable energy projects with a total capacity of 2 GW. * An agreement with Uganda’s Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development for the development of greenfield renewable projects with a total installed capacity of 1 GW. · An agreement with Zambia’s Ministry of Energy, and Zambian national utility ZESCO Limited for the joint development of develop solar, wind, and hydroelectricity projects with a total capacity of 2 GW. –

Page 3 UAE to get first methanol facility under new agreement Khoder Nashar, WAM (Emirates News Agency) Abu Dhabi Chemicals Derivatives Company RSC Ltd (TA’ZIZ) and PROMAN AG (Proman), one of the world’s leading producers of methanol, have signed a shareholders' agreement to develop the UAE’s first world-scale methanol production facility at the TA’ZIZ Industrial Chemicals Zone in Al Ruways Industrial City, Abu Dhabi. The facility has an anticipated annual capacity of up to 1.8 million tonnes and will meet growing domestic and international demand for this clean and versatile chemical commodity. Methanol has a variety of uses including in fuels, solvents, pharmaceuticals and construction materials and has growing potential as a lower-emission fuel, particularly in the maritime sector. Khaleefa Yousef Al Mheiri, TA’ZIZ Acting Chief Executive Officer, said, “This agreement continues to build momentum at TA’ZIZ and advances our mission to diversify the UAE’s economy and accelerate industrial development. Our partnership with Proman underlines the UAE’s attractiveness as a destination for international partners and investors as we progress plans to produce methanol at world-scale in Al Ruways. New chemicals in the UAE will enable new local supply chains and support long-term industrial growth for Abu Dhabi’s private sector.” Methanol production in the UAE is in line with the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology’s mission to diversify the UAE’s economy and accelerate industrial development. Growth of this versatile chemical is expected to be driven by emerging economies in Africa and Asia, while in the UAE it will support decreased reliance on imports, enabling local manufacturers to “Make it In the Emirates” and establish greater resiliency among domestic supply chains. Richard Brink, Managing Director Proman in the UAE, stated, “We welcome the shareholders’ agreement, which is a vital next step towards Abu Dhabi’s first world-scale methanol plant. As well as being Proman’s first investment in the UAE, we are working to ensure that this proposed project will be one of the most technologically advanced and low-emission natural gas-to-methanol facilities in the world. With growing global demand for methanol as a cleaner fuel, this agreement demonstrates the huge potential for the TA’ZIZ Industrial Chemicals Zone and Abu Dhabi’s evolving downstream industry.” TA’ZIZ continues to advance at pace with site preparation underway and a Joint Venture incorporation agreement for the development of a world-scale ethylene dichloride (EDC), chlor- alkali, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) production facility signed with Reliance Industries Limited and Shaheen Chem Holdings Investments LLC (Shaheen). Fertiglobe, Mitsui & Co., Ltd (Mitsui) and GS Energy Corporation (GS Energy) are also partnering with TA’ZIZ to develop a world-scale low- carbon ammonia facility. The total investment in the first phase of TA’ZIZ will be in excess of US$5 billion (AED18 billion), with most of the chemicals produced in the UAE for the first time. All agreements are subject to regulatory approvals. Launched at the end of 2020, by ADNOC and ADQ, TA’ZIZ is driving and enabling expansion of Al Ruways Industrial City, as well as Abu Dhabi’s wider chemicals, manufacturing and industrial sectors.

Page 4 KSA: Jinko starts work on 300 MW Saad solar PV project Trade Arabia + NewBAse Al Ghazala Energy Company, the Saudi-based subsidiary of Jinko Power Technology Co, a global leader in renewable energy, has achieved financial close and commenced construction of its 300 MW Saad Solar PV Project in the kingdom. The project is scheduled for commissioning in Q4 2024. Elsewedy Electric for Transmission and Distribution of Energy (EET&D), an engineering and construction subsidiary of the Egyptian multinational company Elsewedy Electric has been selected as the EPC contractor for the project. The scope of the full-wrap EPC contract includes design, supply, construction, warranty, initial operation and maintenance of the project. A consortium of three leading lenders of the region is providing long-term, non-recourse project financing to Ghazala, the project company. The project debt facilities comprise both Islamic and structured senior tranches. Manpower mobilisation With the achievement of financial close and approval from the off-taker, Saudi Power Procurement Company (SPPC), to commence construction, Ghazala has initiated the mobilisation of its manpower and the EPC contractor on site. President of Jinko Power International Business, Charles Bai, said: "The financial closing of the Saad Project during tumultuous times for the world and the solar industry specifically is a testament of Jinko Power's commitment to the renewable industry in Saudi Arabia and its capabilities to develop and execute projects with professionally experienced teams spanning across technical, supply chain, finance, legal and project management. We remain committed to the kingdom and to successful completion and operation of the project." Senior Managing Director of Jinko Power, Mothana Qteishat added: "A great start to the year 2023. The closing of the Saad Project underpins our commitment towards Prince Mohammad bin Salman and Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030. This adds very well to our track record in the region with the world's largest single-site solar plant under operation (1.2 GW Sweihan Project in Abu Dhabi), the world's largest single-site plant under construction (2.1 GW Dhafra Project in Abu Dhabi). We are glad to have elected Elsewedy Electric as our partner / EPC Contractor for our first project in the kingdom, who brings their regional know- how." About the project The project, located in the vicinity of the town Saad in Saudi Arabia, is part of Category B projects under the third round of competitive tenders of the kingdom's National Renewable Energy Programme (NREP). The Power Purchase Agreement for a term of 25 years was signed in March 2022 with SPPC.-

Page 5 Iran's oil exports surged late last year despite ongoing sanctions by the U.S. and other countries amid strong demand from China and Venezuela, according to companies tracking Iranian oil shipments. The Iranian energy sector has been subject to U.S. sanctions since 2018 when then-President Donald Trump withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal over concerns about Iran violating its terms by using advanced centrifuges to enrich uranium. That caused Iranian oil exports to decline to as little as 100,000 barrels per day (bpd) in 2020 from over 2.5 million bpd in 2018, according to tanker trackers. President Joe Biden entered office in 2021 looking to re-enter the JCPOA and get more oil onto global markets as energy prices surged in the last two years. However, Iran's crackdown on anti- regime protesters in recent months, in addition to its sales of drones and missiles to Russia for use in Ukraine have left those negotiations at an impasse. Despite the ongoing sanctions, Iran's oil exports ticked up last year to their highest level since 2019 according to several firms that track those shipments.

Page 6 Energy consultant SVB International said Iran's crude exports in December averaged 1.137 million barrels per day (bpd), up 42,000 bpd from November and the highest 2022 figure SVB has reported based on estimates given earlier. "In comparison to the Trump administration, there hasn't been any serious crackdown or action against Iran's oil exports," said Sara Vakhshouri of SVB. "January exports were so far strong like previous months." Several other energy analysis firms noted the upward trend in Iran's oil exports. Consultant Petro- Logistics, which tracks oil supply, noted that in its view, Iran's oil exports in December reached their highest level since March 2019. Kpler, a data intelligence firm, put Iranian crude exports at 1.23 million bpd in November – the most since August 2022 – although they fell below 1 million bpd in December. While the Iranian government doesn't regularly release data on its oil exports, a draft state budget reported by the semi-official Fars News Agency showed it was based on shipments of 1.4 million bpd. China is the largest consumer of Iranian oil exports, many of which are rebranded as crude from other countries as a means of avoiding sanctions according to analysts including FGE. Energy analytics firm Vortexa reported that China's imports of Iranian oil reached a record of 1.2 million bpd in December, up 130% from a year prior. "Most of these shipments found home in Shandong, where independent refiners have turned to discounted grades since the second half of 2022 amid sluggish domestic demand and depressed refining margins," the company said. Iran also diversified its oil exports last year by upping shipments to Venezuela, which is also subject to U.S. sanctions, where supplies of light oil can be refined or diluted to produce exportable crude grades.

Page 7 U.S: Increasing renewables likely to reduce coal and natural gas U.S. Energy Information Administration, Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO) In our latest Short-Term Energy Outlook, we expect that increased U.S. power generation from new renewables capacity—mostly wind and solar—will reduce generation from both coal-fired and natural gas-fired power plants in 2023 and 2024. With the new solar and wind projects coming online this year, we forecast these two energy sources will account for 16% of total generation in 2023, up from 14% last year and 8% in 2018. In contrast, our forecast share of generation from coal falls from 20% in 2022 to 18% in 2023; the forecast share from natural gas declines from 39% to 38%. One of the most significant shifts in the mix of U.S. electricity generation over the past few years has been the rapid expansion of renewable energy resources, especially solar and wind. The U.S. electric power sector operated about 74 gigawatts (GW) of solar photovoltaic capacity at the end of 2022, which is about three times the capacity at the end of 2017. U.S. wind power has grown by more than 60% since 2017 to about 143 GW of capacity. Based on planned additions reported to EIA, solar capacity will expand another 63 GW (84%) by the end of 2024, which is consistent with its declining construction costs and favorable tax credits. As a result of this expected increase in solar capacity, we forecast that the solar generation share will rise from 3% of U.S. generation last year to 5% in 2023 and 6% in 2024. Scheduled growth in wind power is slightly slower this year than in recent years, at about 12 GW of new planned capacity over the next two years. The forecast wind generation share in 2023 remains relatively similar to last year, averaging 11%, and then increases to 12% in 2024.

Page 8 Much of the growth in solar capacity is in Texas and California, where natural gas has been the primary source of electricity. A growing share of generation from renewables, combined with our forecast of less overall electricity demand this year, displaces some natural gas generation, which will decline slightly, falling from 39% in 2022 to 38% this year and to 37% in 2024. We also expect that the coal generation share will decline by two percentage points to 18% this year, as lower natural gas fuel costs make coal a less competitive source for electricity supply. Our forecast of coal generation falls again in 2024 to 17%.

Brent crude futures was down by 46 cents, or 0.5%, to $87.17 at 0349 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures fell 36 cents, or down 0.4%, to $81.28 a barrel. Last week Brent rose 2.8%, while the U.S. benchmark logged a 1.8% gain. Analysts said that the optimism around China's reopening will likely drive oil prices higher. Sukrit Vijayakar, director of energy consultancy Trifecta in Mumbai said the market wants to preserve long positions in case China growth resumes. Data shows a solid pick-up in travel in China after COVID-19 curbs were eased, ANZ commodity analysts said in a note, pointing to a 22% jump in road traffic congestion so far this month from a year earlier in the country's 15 key cities.

Page 10 International Energy Agency head Fatih Birol on Friday said energy markets could tighten this year if the Chinese economy rebounds the way financial institutions expect. "I wouldn't be too relaxed about the markets, and 2023 may well be a year where we see tighter markets than some colleagues may think," Birol told Reuters, speaking on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum annual meeting in Davos. The jump in China's traffic ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday bodes well for fuel demand after the two-week vacation. "The expected surge in demand comes as the market braces for further sanctions on Russian oil," ANZ analysts said. The European Union and Group of Seven (G7) coalition will cap prices of Russian refined products starting on Feb. 5, in addition to their price cap on Russian crude in place since December and an EU embargo on imports of Russian crude by sea. The G7 has agreed to delay a review of the level of the price cap on Russian oil to March, a month later than originally planned, to give time to assess the impact of the oil products price caps.

Page 11 US, Allies Agree to Review Russian Crude Price Cap in March Officials from the US and allied nations agreed to undertake a review of the level of the Russian crude price cap in March and to move toward instituting price caps on Russian refined fuel products. The agreement came in discussions among officials in the price-cap coalition, according to a US Treasury statement Friday, following US Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo’s virtual meeting with other deputy ministers. Some EU member states, including Poland and Estonia, have pushed for a price cap even lower than the current $60 pe r barrel, to further limit Russian revenues. But the US has pushed to keep that price level ahead of the additional curbs on the trade in refined Russian fuel. “The Deputies agreed to an approach for refined products that will institute two distinct caps, in addition to the crude cap: one cap for products that generally trade at a premium to crude, such as diesel or gasoil, and one for products that trade at a discount to crude, such as fuel oil,” the Treasury Department said. There has been pressure to agree on a price cap on Russian fuel before an EU ban goes into effect in February. The EU imported about 220 million barrels of diesel-type product from Russia last year, according to Vortexa Ltd. data compiled by Bloomberg. The fuel is vital to the bloc’s economy, powering cars, trucks, manufacturing equipment and more. Still, diesel traders are diverting cargoes of the fuel away from the EU, suggesting that, despite the impending collapse in Russian cargo deliveries to the bloc, the US may have an even more acute supply situation. Freezing weather halted more than a third of Texas Gulf Coast oil-refining capacity late last year and a key fuel pipeline to New York Harbour was also recently closed.

Page 12 NewBase Specual Coverage The Energy world –January -01 -2023 CLEAN ENERGY Sustainable aviation fuel – SAF - production NewBase + NOC SAF stands for sustainable aviation fuel. It’s produced from sustainable feedstocks and is very similar in its chemistry to traditional fossil jet fuel. Using SAF results in a reduction in carbon emissions compared to the traditional jet fuel it replaces over the lifecycle of the fuel. Some typical feedstocks used are cooking oil and other non-palm waste oils from animals or plants; solid waste from homes and businesses, such as packaging, paper, textiles, and food scraps that would otherwise go to landfill or incineration. Other potential sources include forestry waste, such as waste wood, and energy crops, including fast growing plants and algae. Air bp’s SAF is currently made from used cooking oil and animal waste fat. The aviation industry are collectively committed to ambitious emissions reduction goals. Sustainable Aviation Fuel has been identified as one of the key elements in helping achieve these goals.

Page 13 Governmental support is essential to using sustainable aviation fuels to achieve the industry's climate goals.  Over 450,000 flights have taken to the skies using SAF  7 technical pathways exist  Over 100 million litres of SAF were produced in 2021  SAF can reduce emissions by up to 80% during its full lifecycle  Over 17 billion US dollars of SAF are in forward purchase agreements in 2022  More than 50 airlines now have experience with SAF Why is SAF important? Jet fuel packs a lot of energy for its weight and it is this energy density that has really enabled commercial flight. Today, there aren’t any other viable options for transporting groups of people quickly over very long distances, so we’re dependent on this type of fuel in aviation. A return flight between London and San Francisco has a carbon footprint per economy ticket of nearly 1 tonne of CO2e. With the aviation industry expected to double to over 8 billion passengers by 2050, it is essential that we act to reduce aviation’s carbon emissions and SAF is one way in which Air bp is doing that. How much carbon does it save? SAF gives an impressive reduction of up to 80% in carbon emissions over the lifecycle of the fuel compared to traditional jet fuel it replaces, depending on the sustainable feedstock used, production method and the supply chain to the airport. What are Air bp's sources of SAF? When it comes to sourcing SAF Air bp has a portfolio approach. We agree off-take agreements with third- party producers and this security of demand can help these third parties secure investment. Secondly, we invest in third-party production facilities. Air bp’s collaboration with California-based Fulcrum is one example. Air bp entered into a strategic partnership with Fulcrum BioEnergy in 2016 and Fulcrum is building its first plant in Reno, Nevada, which will produce sustainable transport fuel made from household waste. Fulcrum intends to construct additional facilities and will supply Air bp with SAF from several different plants. Thirdly, bp is investing in its own refineries and facilities. One such example is the sale of ISCC plus SAF Air bp announced in July at bp’s Castellon refinery in Spain; and in October 2021 the refinery became the first globally to achieve the ISCC CORSIA certification. Is it safe to use? SAF can be blended at up to 50% with traditional jet fuel and all quality tests are completed as per a traditional jet fuel. The blend is then re-certified as Jet A or Jet A-1. It can be handled in the same way as a traditional jet fuel, so no changes are required in the fuelling infrastructure or for an aircraft wanting to use SAF. In 2016, we were the first operator to commence commercial supply of SAF through an existing hydrant fuelling system, at Norway’s Oslo Airport.

Page 14 Is SAF suitable for all aircraft? Any aircraft certified for using the current specification of jet fuel can use SAF. How does the cost of SAF compare to traditional jet fuel? SAF is currently more costly than traditional fossil jet fuel. That’s down to a combination of the current availability of sustainable feedstocks and the continuing development of new production technologies. As the technology matures it will become more efficient and so the expectation is that it will become less costly for customers. We are seeing increased uptake of SAF as our customers and their passengers increasingly recognize and value the benefits of the emission reductions. Is SAF really the key to making aviation greener? SAF can drop straight into existing infrastructure and aircraft. It has the potential to provide a lifecycle carbon reduction of up to 80% compared to the traditional jet fuel it replaces. SAF will play a really important role in meeting the aviation industry’s carbon reduction targets, however, we need to use all the options to reduce carbon that we have available.

Page 15 There are several broad opportunities for carbon reduction across the industry such as more efficient aircraft design, smarter operations and the development of future technologies like electrification. In that regard, in 2016 Air bp became the first aviation fuel supplier to be independently certified carbon neutral for into-plane fuelling operations at all its global operated locations. So why aren’t more airlines using SAF? At the moment, production of SAF is limited as the higher cost for SAF is preventing wider uptake. Air bp is working on helping create more demand in the short-term which will lead to more production and hopefully lower costs in future. How can we accelerate the growth of SAF? There is real commitment from the industry to reduce carbon emissions, but governments also need to create the right policies to accelerate the growth of SAF. Increasing production requires long- term policy certainty to reduce investment risks, as well as a focus on the research, development and commercialization of improved production technologies and innovative sustainable feedstocks. On an individual level, some airlines are now providing passengers and corporate customers with the option to fund the use of SAF in order to reduce emissions associated with your ticket, and we think these are really positive initiatives. The key to greater acceptance and deployment of SAF is reduction in costs. Over the long term, that will require investment in advanced technologies to process feedstocks more efficiently at greater scale and investment in the development of sustainable and scalable feedstock options.

Page 16 However, in the short-term, interim support from governments and other stakeholders through policy incentives is needed. This support needs to be part of a long-term framework to give investors the confidence to make the big investments required to grow supply. Sustainable aviation fuel – SAF - production in U.A.E Masdar, Adnoc, bp, Tadweer (Abu Dhabi Waste Management Company) and Etihad Airways have announced an agreement to conduct a joint feasibility study on exploring the production in the UAE of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and other products. The study will also look at producing renewable diesel and naphtha, using municipal solid waste (MSW) and renewable hydrogen, it was announced at Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW) 2023. The feasibility study will leverage the capabilities of the five partners to evaluate the technical and commercial viability of such a project. If the study’s conclusions are positive, the partners will target working toward developing the region’s first commercial-scale production capacity in Abu Dhabi. Produced from sustainable feedstocks, such as municipal solid waste and renewable hydrogen, SAF has the potential to reduce lifecycle carbon emissions on average by up to 80 percent during its full lifecycle, compared to conventional jet fuel, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA). This collaboration is designed to strengthen the UAE’s leadership position in low-carbon energy and technology-driven industrial growth and will mark an important step in assessing the UAE’s potential to become a global leader in SAF production, a statement said. Aviation is a key industry in the UAE, supporting over 13 percent of the national gross domestic product according to IATA economic data, and is set to continue to grow in the next decades. To support the UAE Net Zero by 2050 Strategic Initiative, that growth must be sustainable. SAF is currently the most viable proposition to help decarbonize the industry and has the potential to supply international markets.
