  • BP in New Zealand
  • Risks
  • Understanding the NZ ETS
  • Implications of the NZ ETS
  • Internal changes/education
  • Lessons learned

3
BPs global position

    issue
  • Support well constructed Emissions Trading
    Schemes
  • Facilities involved in EU Trading

Climate Change will be woven into every aspect of
our business

New Zealand emissions profile (tiny and difficult)

77.05 MILLION TONNES CO2 e
4,984 MILLION TONNES CO2 e

BP New Zealand position
  • Support well structured Emissions Trading Schemes
  • Obligated party Liquid Fossil Fuels
  • Material market player
  • One of first major buyers under NZ ETS

8
Understanding the NZ ETS
  • Many differing opinions
  • Emissions in hands of many
  • Hybrid approach to hybrid emissions profile
  • Developed vs developing
  • Will need external purchases to meet Kyoto
    commitment
  • Confusion surrounding NZ ETS objective

9
Implications of NZ ETS
  • Need for clarity
  • Uncertainty
  • Pace
  • First priority risk mitigation
  • Lack of market development
  • High price
  • Currency of concern

10
Understanding markets
11
How do we purchase?
  • Local vs international
  • Forestry
  • Negotiation
  • Experience
  • Timing

Timing/availability
  • Delay in arrival of forestry credits
  • Position on AAUs
  • Supply of credits
  • Time required to purchase a material number of
    credits
  • Insufficient time and clarity prior to start will
    be a major hurdle

Timing/availability
CDM Availability by 2012
NZ Liquid Fossil Fuel requirements by 2012
2.6 of projects deliver 55 of credits
  • Top 10 projects HFC and N2O
  • NZ32 carbon price
  • 2.6 billion cost to industry
  • Due to credit profile significant period of
    time required for purchasing

Internal changes/education
  • Education
  • Leadership induction
  • Overseas BP experts
  • Sales teams
  • Wider organisation conference
  • Changes
  • Accounting
  • Tax
  • Legal
  • Resource
  • Communications (including customer)

REDUCE GHG
IMPROVE ENERGY EFFICIENCY
RETAIN GROW SINKS

REDUCE GHG

COMMERCIAL REALITY AND POLITICS MAKE GLOBAL
AGREMENT DIFFICULT
If after undertaking the above you end up with
greater or lesser emissions than your allocation
then trade the difference, or save for a rainy
day!
19
Cap and Trade a simple example
  • Government sets a mandatory CO2 cap per household
    reducing by 10 per year

Potential to Relocate

Lessons learned so far
  • Market liquidity (immature and loose) versus
    Order Book
  • NZ market is unbalanced
  • Credibility of forest as a mechanism is a concern
  • Transitional arrangements are the biggest issue
  • Undertaking a small basic trade to test the
    system is a good idea
  • A journey of price discovery various mechanisms
    and prices in market
  • Emissions profile will be used as a barrier to
    market entry
  • Do your research
  • Unlikely to see material reduction in NZ
    emissions
  • Beware of Sharks (they trade on the in balance of
    awareness)

Summary
  • BP supports well constructed ETS
  • Climate change needs to be addressed
  • NZ ETS is unique
  • Pace and content creates concerns
  • Significant implications if risks not managed
    properly
  • Ground work required within organisation
  • Do your research and choose quality advisors
