Project Overview Environment & Education  Environmental Benefits  Process ~200K tonnes per year  Renewable energy to power 30,000 homes  Divert 98% of post-recycled waste from landfill  Recycle over 15% of authority waste through metals and aggregate recovery, directly increasing North Wales recycling rates by 7%  Capacity to export heat or steam energy to nearby industrial, commercial or residential users  Achieve the demanding R1 efficiency standard  Educational Facilities & Support (Visitors’ Centre)  For use by the Authority at their discretion and educational groups such as schools, colleges & environmental interest groups 3

Project Overview Economic Benefits  Target Economic Benefits  ~500 construction jobs at peak  30+ full-time jobs once operational  £50,000 Community Benefit Fund during construction; £51.6K Allocated  £230,000 Community Benefit Fund annually once operational  Millions of pounds of positive economic impact, utilising local businesses and suppliers during annual major and routine maintenance projects  £40 million supply chain value over contract term  Reduction in waste disposal costs & Welsh Government funding  Potential for local authority profit sharing 4

Operations Priorities & Key Facts Safety & Environmental compliance remain of the highest priority! There have been no accidents or environmental release incidents Now some key Operational facts & figures . . . 19

Operations Key Facts & Figures  Vehicles movements: • 749 Heavy Goods Vehicles in Sept (less than 30 per day) • Planning estimated a worst case of 67 HGV vehicles per day  Waste characteristics: • Authority waste inputs – 8,080 tonnes • Commercial waste inputs – 5,996 tonnes • Composition and calorific value (‘CV’) close to optimal  Air Pollution Control Residues – 277 tonnes removed  Incinerator Bottom Ash – none removed in Sept during sampling & testing  Boiler performance: • 14,170t of waste = 50,870t of steam production (410°C, 61bar/900psi • 32,960MWth of recovered energy 20

Operations Key Facts & Figures  Emissions to Air: • All CEMS readings within commissioning limits and monthly average for IED compliance . . . more on this later  IBA sampling & testing: • IBA removal commenced for processing into aggregate by offtaker • Commenced using ESA protocol – 12 (of 24) samples taken so far of which 10 results (all passes) have been received . . . more on this later  Flue Gas Treatment (FGT) APCr removal to offtaker commenced – recycling trials also commenced  Rainwater run-off and capture released from attenuation pond after sampling and checking  NRW (EA) has approved R1 status by design 21

Operations IBA – Bottom Ash (Non-Hazardous material)  IBA ≡ c.25% of waste tonnes (3,542t in Sept = c.50,000t/pa)  Metals are separated & recycled  Remaining ash is graded & used as aggregate in road building 22
