Energy Concept<br />

The energy concept provides for the external procurement of natural gas and power<br />

• The energy-intensive processing facilities were laid out with regard to an optimal relationship between heat<br />

and power consumption<br />

• Natural gas will be used as the primary energy carrier, power will be obtained from the public grid<br />

• As regards the procurement of natural gas, fixed prices can be secured for up to 24 months in advance via<br />

tranches. The use of financial instruments to hedge against higher natural gas prices will be examined at the<br />

appropriate time as part of our general hedging strategy<br />

• As regards the procurement of natural gas, there are a number of suppliers we can use. Talks are already<br />

underway<br />
