The Copenhagen conference aims to lead to a global agreement on energy and climate that will take over from the Kyoto Protocol as of 2013, in the interest of containing the average increase in temperatures to below 2°C.

One of the major priorities of the conference is the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions for all of the stakeholders, which include both emerging and industrialized nations and economies. The conference will also tackle the issue of adapting to the impacts of climate change, technology transfers and the implementation of mechanisms for financing these initiatives.

All of these issues are of critical importance for the future of our planet and world citizens.

Air Liquide participates in the fight against climate change by developing the innovative technologies that contribute to achieving reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, such as the capture and storage of CO2, and supplies the hydrogen that enables the production of cleaner fuels. The Group is also developing clean alternative energies, such as photovoltaic, second generation biofuels and hydrogen and fuel cells.

Energy and the Environment are part of the five growth drivers of Air Liquide, which invests more than 60% of its R&D budget in solutions aiming to preserve the environment and life.

In Copenhagen, Air Liquide will be present at the Bright Green exhibition on December 12 and 13 (Stand 58 – Energy Zone).

Wuhan Iron and Steel (Group) Co. is located in Hubei Province in Central China. In 2008, it produced some 27 million tonnes of iron and steel, making it one of the country's largest producers. In recent years, Wisco and Siemens have been working together on a number of modernization and capacity expansion projects. Siemens and Voestalpine Industrieanlagenbau had previously modernized the cold rolling line in cold rolling mill no. 1 and coupled it to the pickling line in 2001. The improvements to the automation and drive systems of cold rolling mill no. 1 under this latest modernization project will enable Wisco to extend its range of products to include high-strength grades of steel with yield limits of up to 470 MPa. This means the company can produce steels for high-quality applications, such as those required in the automotive industry.

The coupled tandem pickling line will be equipped with Simovert DC Master circulating-current-free drive systems. This will not only reduce energy consumption, but also increase the productivity of the plant. The faster response time of the new drive equipment will further improve the gauge control using the mass flow concept. Additional control loops will reduce disturbances in the rolling process.

The existing Siroll CM automation system will be brought into line with the latest state of the art. Modernization of the basic automation and the operator control and monitoring system only requires modification of some software modules. The process automation will be fitted with a new operating system and additional process models. These include roll eccentricity compensation (REC) for stands 2 to 4, and a threading-in control system for ultra-thin, especially hard or sensitive types of steel. The scope of supply is rounded off by new emergency operation functions for dealing with any disturbances in the plant. Major reasons behind the decision to award this order to Siemens were the excellent results Wisco had obtained during previous joint projects and Siemens' ability to integrate the new process models and functions into the existing automation solution.

Constructed near POSCO's Gwangyang Works, the plant boasts a production capacity of 30,000 tons/year, making it one of the largest ferronickel plants in the world. After signing a contract with SNCC back in August 2006, K Plant finished work on the plant approximately three months ahead of schedule. The plant went into operation in early October 2008 and performance tests were conducted in April and late September 2009. The tests verified that the plant met all the performance requirements specified in the contract.

Responsible for the design and manufacture of the entire plant, K Plant provided all the primary equipment (rotary dryer and rotary kilns, casting machine, etc.) with the exception of the electric furnace. K Plant also provided technical assistance on test runs and headed up operational training at PT Antam Tbk. in Indonesia while process analysis and inspections were carried out by the Kawasaki Heavy Industries Technical Institute to provide optimal ferronickel production solutions.

The ability to choose the right suppliers for the job on top of expert project management was key factors that enabled K Plant to finish three months earlier than anyone expected. The swift completion of the project allowed SNNC to finish about six months earlier than it would have normally taken to construct this, one of the largest, ferronickel plants in the world. K Plant's comprehensive plant engineering capabilities have earned it high marks from both POSCO and SNNC. Completion of the plant makes POSCO the world's first integrated steelmaker capable of doing everything from nickel mine development to ferronickel production and stainless steel product manufacturing while forging a stronger position in the global steel market.

The delivery of this large-scale plant well ahead of schedule marks a huge step forward for K Plant's ferronickel plant business. K Plant will continue to make further inroads in the global market as it adds to a growing list of customers that now includes SNNC and Antam.

Blanco Altea, Blanco Tabarca and Blanco Tabarca Stripped are the materials that make up this collection, the objective of which is to encourage the use of Natural Stone. Its excellent physical qualities, durability, low porosity and great thermal resistance make this selection one of the best options for facades and floors that are exposed to variable atmospheric conditions.

On one side, the smooth and soft surface of Blanco Altea is presented, which provides any type of construction with quality, while Blancco Tabarca with its rough finish is the most rustic and natural option. Two perfect proposals for use on facades, both toned down as well as ventilated and that permits adaptation to multiple fixing systems. Lastly, Blanco Tabarca Stripped is the most novel proposal with its grated termination thanks to which it becomes a perfect non-slip surface for exterior and interior grounds.

The combination of these materials, such as pavement and covering in any building, ensures the fulfillment of the building requirements that are demanded, thereby ensuring resistance and stability with minimum necessary maintenance. All this is gained without giving up the beauty and uniqueness that Natural Stone provides to any application, thereby making a construction unique and exclusive.

With this new launch, Levantina re-enforces its leadership position in the sector upon increasing its broad array of products that include marble, granite, slate, limestone, quartz and porcelain surfaces.

About Levantina

Levantina is a multinational company with Spanish origins, worldwide leader in the natural stone market with products as marble, slate and granite which reinforce its position in other segments of the latest surfaces as the porcelain slabs. A company which maintains a significant investment in I+R+i to provide innovative solutions in line with the latest market trends.

The unit started up as initially planned. With a nameplate capacity of 750,000 tonnes of MEG per annum, it is one of the largest in the world, reinforcing Shell's ambitions to maintain a leading position in the expanding Asian petrochemicals market.

The Shell Eastern Petrochemicals Complex also includes a new 800,000 tonnes per annum ethylene cracker, a butadiene plant and modifications to Shell's Bukom refinery, which are planned to start up in early 2010.

Mark Williams, Shell Downstream Director, said: 'The commissioning of the MEG plant is a significant step towards the completion in early 2010 of the Shell Eastern Petrochemicals Complex in Singapore (SEPC). SEPC is our largest investment in Singapore and our largest petrochemicals investment to date, reinforcing our intention to continue to grow our Chemicals business selectively and to anticipate the needs of our customers in Asia.'

'When SEPC is fully operational,' Williams continued, 'it will be our biggest, fully-integrated refinery and petrochemicals hub, from which we will enjoy economic and efficiency benefits in terms of feedstocks, operations and logistics.'

The Singapore MEG plant marks another technology first for Shell. It is the first time Shell is using its award-winning OMEGA processing technology. The OMEGA process gives the highest commercial yields of MEG from ethylene.'

The new plant is on Jurong Island in Singapore, an ideal location to serve Asian customers from within the region. Asia currently accounts for around 70 per cent of global MEG consumption and much of the new capacity will be destined for China where the demand for MEG continues to grow.

Notes to editors

MEG is a vital ingredient for polyester fibres and film, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resins and engine coolants. End uses range from clothing and packaging to kitchenware and antifreeze.

The annual output from the MEG plant could make more than two million tonnes of polyester, enough to manufacture 6.7 billion polyester shirts – more shirts than there are people in the world.

The Shell OMEGA (Only MEG-Advantaged) process gives the highest commercial yields of MEG from ethylene. OMEGA plants also consume less steam; wastewater production is much lower; and the capital cost for a new OMEGA plant is about 10 per cent less than for a traditional plant with the same MEG capacity. CO2 emissions are also significantly reduced per tonne of MEG produced.

This announcement follows the decision by the Office of Fair Trading in August to approve Centrica's acquisition of 20 per cent of British Energy from EDF. Centrica's investment in British Energy and the acquisition of SPE by the EDF Group are inter-conditional and therefore both transactions can now complete.

Centrica will also offtake 20 per cent of the uncontracted power from the British Energy fleet and EDF and Centrica will form a separate 80/20 joint venture through which they will undertake the pre-development activities for a planned nuclear new build programme, with the intention of constructing, and operating and decommissioning four European Pressurised Reactors. EDF will also provide Centrica with an additional 18TWh of power at market prices over five years from 2011.

The operational performance of the British Energy nuclear fleet has improved, with 42.5TWh of power generated in the first three quarters of the year, 42 per cent above the level in the same period of 2008.

Commenting on today's announcement, Centrica Chief Executive Sam Laidlaw said: "This is a welcome decision and we look forward to completing the British Energy transaction shortly. We believe nuclear energy is an essential component in ensuring clean, secure energy for the UK and we are proud to be part of the nuclear renaissance in the UK. The price secured for the sale of SPE will help preserve our balance sheet firepower as we focus on other investment opportunities that will further underpin UK energy supply security.

Under the terms of the arrangements with EDF, the British Energy and SPE transactions are expected to complete simultaneously on 26 November 2009.

Worldwide carbon monoxide demand is estimated to be growing at about +4% per year. In the petrochemical industry, carbon monoxide is mainly used in the production of acetic acid and polyurethane intermediates.

Air Liquide has just commissioned the world's largest carbon monoxide unit, handing it over to the customer, Saudi International Petrochemicals Company (Sipchem). This new carbon monoxide unit is located on the industrial complex of Jubail City, in eastern Saudi Arabia, near the Arabic Gulf. This project was awarded in 2006 to Air Liquide and Lurgi.

The carbon monoxide unit designed and built by the Engineering and Construction teams of Air Liquide, will have a production capacity of 335,000 tonnes per year. The production of carbon monoxide calls upon the combination of very high temperature technologies (+ 1200°C) as well as very low cryogenic temperature (-190°C). Those two processes are mastered by the Group and will be integrated in this very large unit.

The carbon monoxide produced in the unit will primarily serve as feedstock for the production of acetic acid used for the production of Polyvinyl Acetate, which has applications in water-based paints, adhesives and in the processing of paper and textiles.

François Darchis, Senior Vice-President Air Liquide Group, in charge of R&D, Advanced Technologies and Engineering & Construction, commented: 'Building the world's largest carbon monoxide unit is a challenge that we were delighted to take on and we thank Sipchem for their trust. Air Liquide teams are constantly improving technological solutions in order to increase the efficiency and reliability of our units to meet the needs of our customers.
We are particularly proud of this success at Jubail, a major industrial complex. This project reinforces our presence in Saudi Arabia and once again demonstrates the potential that lies in emerging economies, one of the Group's growth drivers.'

The Polyolefin Company owns and operates 260,000 tonnes per year of low density polyethylene capacity in three plants and 600,000 tonnes per year of polypropylene capacity in five plants. These plants source their feedstock from Petrochemical Corporation of Singapore.

His Excellency Minister Al-Attiyah said: 'In line with the wise vision of His Highness The Emir, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani, Qatar Petroleum's goal is to become a major player in the global energy industry. Qatar is a significant and fast-growing producer of chemical feedstocks. Extending our reach further into petrochemicals in the crucial Asia-Pacific region will help us achieve our ambitious global goals.'

Mr Voser said: 'I warmly welcome Qatar Petroleum International as a partner in our chemicals operations in Singapore. I am proud that Qatar has chosen Shell as a partner in projects within the State of Qatar and I am delighted that Qatar has now chosen to extend this relationship abroad. I hope we can progress further such opportunities in the years ahead.'

Mr. Al-Jaidah said: 'Today's agreements are a milestone for Qatar Petroleum International as we expand our business globally. Singapore is a key petrochemicals hub and securing a position here has been a key strategic objective. I look forward to working with Shell to make these investments a big success for years to come.'

The latest joint venture agreement is part of a wider strategic co-operation that Shell has been developing with Qatar. Qatar Petroleum International and Shell, together with PetroChina, are also progressing joint preliminary studies to assess the viability of building with a world-scale, integrated refinery and petrochemical manufacturing complex in China. Shell continues to develop with Qatar Petroleum proposals for a world-scale petrochemicals complex in Qatar.

Shell is building two of the largest energy projects in the world with Qatar Petroleum in Ras Laffan Industrial City in Qatar. Pearl Gas to Liquids (GTL) is the largest project ever launched in Qatar. It will be the world's largest GTL plant and will cement Qatar's place as the GTL capital of the world. The Qatargas 4 LNG project is being developed by Qatargas on behalf of shareholders QP and Shell (30 per cent). The project combines Shell's global leadership amongst private energy companies in LNG with Qatar's vision to become the world's largest LNG supplier.

For the TEC, being developed near Taylorville, Illinois, Siemens will provide equipment contracts and licensing agreements for four 500-megawatt-class gasifiers. These gasifiers have a daily processing capacity of as much as 2,000 metric tons of coal or petcoke. In the gasification process, a wide range of coals or other carbon-containing feedstocks, such as biomass or refinery residues, can be converted to syngas and subsequently cleaned to remove environmental pollutants such as sulfur, mercury and carbon dioxide. The syngas can then be utilized for environmentally compatible power generation in IGCC plants or as raw material for the chemical industry through the production of chemical feedstocks or synthetic fuels.

'In the future it will not be possible to meet the continuing growth in power demand without fossil fuels such as coal. The challenge is to significantly reduce the CO2 emissions resulting from the combustion of fossil fuels,' said Michael Suess, CEO of the Fossil Power Generation Division of Siemens Energy. 'The Taylorville Energy Center project is an important step in this direction and we look forward to demonstrating how Siemens' technology can provide a sustainable energy supply.' 'By capturing and storing at least 50 percent of the CO2 it produces, TEC will have emissions comparable to a natural gas-fueled plant. Achieving such a dramatic reduction in emissions by a coal-fed plant is a vital step in the global effort to combat climate change. Siemens is glad to be a major contributor to this important breakthrough,' Suess added.

Gasfication technology is part of the Siemens environmental portfolio with which the company earned revenues of nearly EUR19 billion in fiscal 2008, That is equivalent to about a quarter of Siemens total revenue and makes Siemens the world's leading provider of eco-friendly technology.

The Siemens Energy Sector is the world's leading supplier of a complete spectrum of products, services and solutions for the generation, transmission and distribution of power and for the extraction, conversion and transport of oil and gas. In fiscal 2008 (ended September 30), the Energy Sector had revenues of approximately EUR22.6 billion and received new orders totaling approximately EUR33.4 billion and posted a profit of EUR1.4 billion. On September 30, 2008, the Energy Sector had a work force of approximately 83,500. Further information is available at: www.siemens.com/energy.

'By helping the industry adopt standards, Microsoft believes the industry can drive down cost by improving interoperability and building a platform for collaboration and communication. Our customers benefit when standards are implemented because their software prices decrease, interoperability increases and adoption hurdles are lowered. As a result, they will be able to better execute their E&P information sharing and business process integration strategies.'

'We are pleased to have Microsoft on board to help us to deliver the reference implementation for our standards,' said Randy Clark, president and CEO of Energistics. 'As a body which facilitates an inclusive user community for collaborative technologies, we are keen to draw on Microsoft's experience in the industry to help facilitate the development and deployment of open data exchange standards in addressing information challenges.'

'Having Microsoft as a member of Energistics is very positive news for the oil and gas industry,' said Jaap Van Ballegooijen, leader of Royal Dutch Shell's plc's Smart Fields group. 'Microsoft will be able to contribute its experience and expertise to help drive the adoption of Energistics' standards. Microsoft has demonstrated ongoing commitment and support of the Energistics standards through its participation and sponsorship of the latest PRODML specifications presentation at the Microsoft Global Energy Forum. Shell, Microsoft and Energistics also collaborated to explore new and innovative solutions through the software-plus-services approach by implementing a PRODML proof of concept utilizing Microsoft's Windows Azure platform.'

In joining the Energistics consortium, Microsoft, together with industry partners, will continue to drive change in the oil and gas industry by providing IT solutions and expertise that offer companies a strategic edge in tough economic times. With a focus on standardization, cost savings, productivity, collaboration and innovation, Microsoft is helping oil and gas enterprises do more with less.

China owns the world's third largest coal reserves, and naturally looks into ways of valuing them in order to reduce its growing dependency on foreign energy sources and feedstock.
Several technologies based on coal gasification allow the transformation of coal into liquid petroleum or chemical products. These gasification processes require huge quantities of oxygen.

In this context, Air Liquide announces it has signed a long-term contract with Yutianhua, Shaanxi Yulin Natural Gas Chemical Industry. Under the terms of the agreement, Air Liquide will invest about €60 million in a new large Air Separation Unit (ASU) - with a production capacity of 2,700 tonnes of oxygen per day - to supply oxygen and nitrogen to Yutianhua. The ASU, designed and built by Air Liquide Hangzhou, the Air Liquide engineering center in China, will use Air Liquide's latest technologies providing both high reliability and energy efficiency.

Yutianhua, a natural gas based methanol player in China, has a current production capacity of 510 thousand tonnes per year. In 2008, Yutianhua launched an additional 600 thousand tonnes per year methanol coal-based project with a total investment of 3 billion RMB. This is the first phase of a major methanol project. Its unit is located in Yuheng Chemical Industrial Park of Yulin City, Shaanxi Province. Air Liquide's new ASU will be located next to the Yutianhua site.

Jean-Pierre Duprieu, Vice President Asia-Pacific and a member of the Air Liquide's Executive Committee, said: 'We want to thank Yutianhua for its trust in us, as well as the Yulin authorities for their continuous support. This success illustrates Air Liquide's ability to develop leading edge technologies and high value-added solutions for this industry as well as the Group's commitment in China. This investment offers further illustration of the acceleration of our development in emerging economies, with a share of Group revenue that will have doubled over 6 years'.

Mr. Han Delin, Chairman of Yutianhua, added: 'Yutianhua's methanol project is one of the key projects in Shaanxi, and is strongly supported by the local and provincial governments. After fruitful discussions, we have decided to entrust Air Liquide with our industrial gas needs. Air Liquide has demonstrated that it understands our needs and is competitive. We are happy to outsource our industrial gas needs and to enter into a long-term partnership with Air Liquide that enables us to benefit from its worldwide expertise.'
