3 3 Barclays Unrivalled Experience in the Carbon Market A broad range of offerings in the Environmental Markets  Barclays Capital has been at the forefront of emissions trading since the inception of the EU emissions trading scheme in 2004  Barclays Capital is one of the largest liquidity providers in the carbon market  We have traded over 600 million tonnes of carbon credits, with a total notional value of $14 billion  Access to a large network of customers across all industries within Europe and beyond  Unrivalled primary origination team. Two of our team are members of the Methodology Panel to the UNFCCC CDM Executive Board.  Standardised the secondary CER market with the launch of the “Standard CER Forward Agreement”  Recognised as a key player in the emissions market through various industry awards  Established the Barclays Capital Global Carbon Index (the “BGCI”) which has been designed as an international benchmark for the carbon industry

8 8 EUA CO 2 spot price behaviour during Phase I (EUR/MT) Fundamental trading activities by the shorts (utilities) led to rising prices at beginning of Phase I EU published emissions data showed conservative allocations (98 million MT excess) leading to structural fall The depreciation was compounded by the industrials (longs) only becoming active towards the end of Phase I Source: Barclays Capital The link between carbon trading and other asset classes

9 9  Brent crude trades around 50 billion barrels annually worth $5 trillion  German power trades around 5 times underlying (the ‘churn’) - 450TWh = 2250TWh = €135 billion  EUAs traded 2.4 bn tonnes, around 100% of total allocation in 2007 worth around €24 bn What can we realistically expect?  Physical underlying defined as the shortfall in the market - 1 bn tonnes. Churn will be ~ 5 x underlying – 20M tonnes per day – 5 billion tonnes pa => €100billion annualised  Spread trading of inventory and CERs could add another 5M tonnes per day = €25 billion  At around €125billion this is as big as the size of the German power market  Auctions may increase churn as allowances may be bought by intermediaries who will have to onward sell OTC and exchange traded markets
