Future Fuel Demand

Highly efficient infrastructure supplying the Auckland and Northland markets
17

•New Zealand’s largest transport fuels storage

terminalwhichhandles more fuel thanthe 10 terminals

in Mt. Maunganui,Wellington, and Lyttleton combined

•Supplies the Auckland and Northland markets,which

make up c.40% of New Zealand’s fuel demand

•Supply of fuel to Auckland via the pipeline has one-tenth

of the emissions of the equivalent delivery via road

•Supplies all ofthe jet fuel distributed to Auckland

International Airport

•Only NZ terminal capable of receipting Long Range (LR)

vessels

Based on Hale & Twomey’s forecast, issued in January 2021, which includes New Zealand’s commitment

to netzerogreenhouse gas emissions by 2050. The Hale & Twomey forecasts are for fossil fuels only and

make no assumptions on biofuel substitution. Demand scenario includes some supply from Wiri into the

Waikato.

•Diesel demand has remained strongreflectingstrong

economic activity

•Petrol demand showed rapid recoveryfromlockdown

impacts but is currentlybelow pre-COVID levels,

reflecting highpump prices

•Jet demand is recovering as bordersareopening

upandaviation capacityreturns

Continued strong diesel demand, petrol outlook driven by EV conversion
Diesel outlook

•Strong historical growth in diesel –NZ diesel fleet doubled

in 15 years to 2019

•Continued growth expected in diesel before demand peaks

due to:

•Electrification of light diesel fleet and buses

•Uptake of Biofuels

•Transition to hydrogen for heavy transport dependent on

reduction in hydrogen operating costs and fleet transition

costs

Petrol outlook

•Demand outlook reflects transition over time in vehicle fleet

and transport modes:

•Increasing fuel efficiency

•Uptake of hybrid and EV vehicles

•Longer term mode shift –public transport, bikes,

housing density

•Rate of shift constrained by EV supply chain, affordability and

pace of behavioural change

•Auckland jet fuel demand driven by number of flights and

distanceto destination

•More than 75% of New Zealand international flights

depart fromAuckland

•Strong growth in jet fuel demand in the 5 years pre-COVID

•25% growth in internationalpassengers over 5years pre-

COVID

[2]

•39% increase in jet fuel demand -shift towards ultra-long

haul flights and premium seats

[3]

•Expected increased demand for jet-fuel reflecting:

•Increased travel following relaxation of border controls –

potential for faster recovery

•Trends to ultra-long haul flights and premium seats

expected to continue

•Jet fuel expected to underpin long-term asset utilisation, with

long-haul aviation requiring a sustainable aviation fuel solution

to decarbonise

Growth

•Significant industry changes underway:
•Shift away from joint industry structures(refinery,

inventory sharing, coastal shipping)

•Increasing focus on open access (ComCom,

terminal gate pricing)

•Investment required for security of supply and future

fuels (domestic stockholding policy, biofuels

mandate)

•Creating opportunities for Channel Infrastructure

•Available capacity

•Utilisation incentives

•Third party access to unutilised capacity from 2025

•Potential for infrastructure acquisitions or

consolidation

Significant industry changes creating infrastructure opportunities

23

•Energy affordability is key
•Trade-offs will be needed between security of supply,

affordability, and emissions reduction

•Fuels to replace current ones are yet to be commercially

feasible

•Use of existing infrastructure will be criticalto making

new fuels affordable and secure in the future

2035

Wider range of transport fuels and energy

required as we decarbonise, requiring new

infrastructure

•Premium & Regular petrol

•Renewable gasoline

•Jet Fuel

•Sustainable Aviation Fuel

•Diesel

•Biodiesel

•Hydrogen

•Solar Power

Energy transition means more fuel choices and infrastructure required

24

•Significant capacity available atMarsden Point
•Near-term opportunities:

•Domestic stockholding policy –estimated 50-

70ML of additional dieselstorage required in NZ

•Terminal consolidation & optimization–industry

changes, biofuels salesmandate

•Other products (marine fuels, bitumen)

•Leveraging our business model and capabilitiesacross

other terminal assets

Near-term opportunities exist to grow our terminal footprint

Current Terminal Capacity Utilisation

•Electricity consumption remains a materialcost
•Opportunity tosignificantlyreduce costs through long-

term supply

•Maranga Ra onsite solar project:

•34GWhper annum (2019 design, opportunity to

scaleup with improved panel technology)

•Fully-consented

•Capacity to supply terminal and export to the grid

•Meridian solar and battery project on adjacent land

Electricity represents an opportunity to reduce operating costs and emissions

26

SAF is required to decarbonise aviation, Marsden Point is ideally located
27

•Long-haul aviation requires a liquid fuel solution

•Challenges to solve for economically feasible

SAFproduction:

•Renewable feedstock of sufficient volume

•Cost of feedstock and processing

•Air NZ and MBIE process underway

•AirNZtargeting 10% SAF by 2030

•Marsden Point the logical location for imports

andadvanced processing:

•Large industrial site with long-term consents

•Existing infrastructure connections to

AucklandInternational Airport (90%+ of New

Zealand jet fueldemand)

•Threshold feasibility issuesfor green hydrogen:
•Cost of production (conversion losses)

•Cost of renewable electricity, including value in

electricity storage/abatement

•Safe transport

•Marsden Point has potential to support future hydrogen

imports or production:

•Import and export capacity

•Proximity to significant future renewable

electricity generation (Northland Renewable

Energy Zone)

•Industrial site with long-term consents

•Proximity to largest market in NZ (Auckland)

•Study with FFI focused on identifying what would be

required to make hydrogen production feasible

NZX RELEASE


4 July 2022

Investor Day Presentation

Channel Infrastructure is today holding an Investor Day. Channel Infrastructure’s management team will

present to investors and analysts on its strategy and current terminal business. Please find attached the

presentation.

Today Channel Infrastructure reconfirmed its FY22 and FY23 guidance, as well announcing its Capital

Allocation Framework, confirming its dividend policy of 60-70% of Free Cash Flow (being adjusted net cash

generated from operations less maintenance capex). The first opportunity for a dividend is in March 2023,

after the FY22 financial results

1

.

Naomi James said: ”We are pleased to be presenting a deep dive into the benefits that come with our new

more sustainable operating model and the growth opportunities that it opens up for Channel Infrastructure,

including to support New Zealand’s fuel security and decarbonisation by using our highly-strategic assets

and deliver long-term shareholder value”.

“Our long-term contracts with strong and stable cash flows mean we are expecting to return to dividends in

2023 while leaving cash available to deleverage as planned. We are also now better placed to invest in

focused growth opportunities to drive shareholder value.”

“We also provide an update on the conversion project, which is tracking to plan, following the safe shut down

of the refinery in March. I am proud that we were able to deliver this significant change safely, and within

budget, which is testament to the hard work and dedication of our people.”

The presentation is now available on the Channel Infrastructure website and the delayed webcast of the

presentations will be available on channelnz.com in the next few days.
