Summary 2006

“Utilizing solar energy, biomass, wastes, information technologies, and engineering, Abengoa applies technological and innovative solutions for sustainable development”

The rational use of natural resources and our concern for ensuring that future generations may be able to use them as we ourselves have done is Abengoa’s roadmap for the future. Moreover, as far as Abengoa is concerned, what is known nowadays as sustainable development does not exclusively mean preservation of the environment. Abengoa goes beyond that vision and raises its commitment to the social and human side of things.

In Abengoa, we have come to understand that out traditional engineering activity is nothing more than a valuable tool by which we can build a more sustainable world. In addition, over the past decade Abengoa’s strategic plan has been much more intense and this is clearly demonstrated by the fact that we have undertaken an array of activities, among which the following are of note:

Bioenergy.-

• In 2000, start-up of the first Bioethanol facility in Spain with an initial production capacity of 100 M liters/year currently 150 M liters/year), which required a 93.8 M€ investment.
• In 2002, acquisition of High Plains Corporation (now Abengoa Bioenergy Corporation), the fifth largest bioethanol producer in the United States (current production capacity of 108 M gal/year), by means of a 100 M€ takeover bid. Start-up of the second Bioethanol facility in Spain (Bioetanol Galicia), with a 126 M liters/year production capacity (currently 176 M liters/year), which required a 92.1 M investment.
• Also in 2002, Abengoa was awarded by the United States Department of Energy (DOE) of an R&D&I project to enhance ethanol production process technology, utilizing biomass to improve the economy of process and increase energy yield from ethanol production and, thereby, reduce the production cost thereof and make it more competitive with gasoline.

  • Participation in Carbon Funds: as a further step towards the attaining of Sustainable Development, Abengoa has decided to support diverse initiatives developed by Multilateral Institutions, different countries and important European companies. Abengoa has already committed itself to participating in the Spanish Carbon Fund (World Bank) and the Multilateral Carbon Credit Fund (EIB-EBRD).

Development towards a sustainable world

Abengoa’s strategic development is based on the generation of future options that are necessary to attain a sustainable world. This is achieved basically by:

• The strengthening of the geographic diversification of existing products
• The introduction of new products that help combat climate change
• The intensification of R&D&I activities
• The commitment to social and human progress

As a result of said strategy and as a consequence of the investment plan underway, Abengoa offers a combination of activities that represent greater diversification in markets and customer portfolio, while also consolidating its capacities as regards its original Engineering business.

The strengthening of the geographic diversification of existing products by reinforcing the markets in which, a priori, the best possibilities for expansion exist and in which Abengoa is already operating, with these being basically the United States, Canada, China, India, Brazil, Mexico, Northern Africa, and Europe.

The introduction of new products that help combat climate change by means of an investment plan, especially in the sectors related to Bioenergy (new ethanol production plants in Europe and the United States), Solar (with a solar power plant construction program that will eventually reach a total installed output of more than 300 MW), Desalination (with desalination plants under construction in Algeria, India and Spain), High Voltage Line Concession Contracts (in Latin America and Asia) as well as future concession contracts for Public Buildings in Spain and abroad, and also in other more mature sectors such as Environmental Services (with the recent acquisition of Europe’s largest industrial waste recycling company) and Information Technologies.

The intensification of R&D&I activities, focused on results that allow diversification to be increased by creating new products and services and developing new markets by increasing differentiation, improving and adapting existing products and enhancing processes.

The commitment to social and human progress while at the same time contributing to environmental preservation is, in Abengoa, one of the essential pillars on which Corporate Social Responsibility is based. Through the Focus-Abengoa Foundation the company’s social activity policies are brought into practice. This is done in a non-profit making manner with objectives being of general interest, focused on assistance, educational, cultural, scientific, research and technological development work. In 2006, Abengoa allocated 5.8 M€ to these activities that strengthen the company' s commitment to society and sustainable development.
