7. INTRODUCTION
Chile’s gross domestic product (GDP)1 grew by 5.7% in 2005, 4.0% in 2006 and the
estimated values2 for 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 are 5.7%, 5.2%, 5.2% and 5.0%
respectivelly. There is more information about Chile’s main indicators in the Annexes.
The principal drivers of these growth rates are booming prices for Chile’s mineral
exports especially copper as state-owned copper mining firm Corporacion Nacional del
Cobre de Chile (CODELCO) is the world's largest copper producing company. But,
while copper and other minerals remain the mainstays of Chile’s exports, trade of other
non-traditional products such as agricultural and forestry products have also grown
considerably over the past two decades.
To support this growth, the country must import the bulk of its energy consumption as it
has limited domestic conventional energy resources. Chile's reliance on energy imports,
particularly on natural gas from Argentina, has not been without consequences.
In April 2004, Argentina began restricting natural gas exports to Chile, with cuts
reaching nearly 50 percent of contracted volumes on some days. Chile, in turn, began to
reconsider its energy policy, which, prior to the import restrictions, had assumed an
increased use of natural gas and power imports from Argentina.
In fact, Chile has begun to pursue other sources of natural gas, such as liquefied natural
gas (LNG), piped gas from other countries and also a fast development of NCRE.
Additionally several international commercial compromises as been assigned that
obligates Chile to apply severe environmental regulations to producers, in order to
accomplish clean production standards developed market expect from its providers.
All the above results in a complex situation for most Chilean industries as the strong
uncertainty in the natural gas supply press them to return to the use of oil or other more
contaminant fuels to produce heat and steam while new regulation punish them for this.
Currently most boilers have already been installed with dual-type burners prepared to
burn natural gas or the much more expensive Diesel oil, but this is not a comfortable
situation for the end users that look at the cheaper solid fuels coal and biomass hoping
for better solutions.
In synthesis the scenario in Chile is near ideal for a manufacturer like Client, capable to
offer solutions based on any fuel but specialy on solid fuels.
This report provides a significative amount of hard data and recommendations on how
to proceed to insert the company deeper in the market.

9. 1.1 Energy Overview
a) Primary Energy
Along the last ten years the Chilean primary energy consume increased at an annual
average rate of 4.5%. In 2005 the total primary energy consumed by the country was
286,049 Tcal. Crude oil representing a 39% (on energy base), Natural gas 27%,
Firewood and others (Firewood, vegetable coal, wood wastes and black liquor) 16%,
Coal 10% and Hydroelectricity 8%.
A 68% of the total primary energy consumed was imported (98% of Crude Oil, 73% of
Natural gas and 88% of Coal). Exports were null.

10. Historically, low domestic production of Natural gas constrained its consumption, only
constituting 8% of total energy consumption in 1996. A combination of increasing
energy demand, environmental concerns, and the unreliability of hydropower prompted
the Chilean government to re-consider its energy policy and encourage the use of
natural gas. To that end, Chile began large-scale imports of natural gas for the first time
in 1997; since then, the country’s natural gas consumption has increased by an average
of 21.7% per year, reaching 27% of total energy consumption in 2005.

1.2 Disruptions in gas supply from Argentine
In recent years, repeated disruptions in the supplies of natural gas from Argentina to
Chile have strained relations between the two countries. In 2004, Argentina underwent
an energy crisis, forcing it to cut natural gas exports to Chile. Since then, exports to

12. Chile have been fluctuating between 20-50 percent below contracted volumes, with
natural gas flows ceasing completely on some occasions. The import cuts have caused
shutdowns at power plants and methanol facilities, as well as forced consumers to
switch to costlier fuels. Along with the cuts in volumes, Argentina has also increased
natural gas prices: in July 2006, Argentina increased its natural gas export tax to 45%,
from 20 %. Chronic structural difficulties in Argentina’s natural gas sector could lead to
chronic supply problems in the future.
1.3 Electrical generation and non-conventional sources
Chilean Government interest in the adoption of Non-Conventional Renewable Energies
NCRE (self commitment to achieve a NCRE 15% share of the whole demand increase
in 2010) is explained by the high dependence of electric generation on low reliable
availability non-hydric sources (natural gas) and /or higher costs (Diesel Oil).
From the total installed electricity generating capacity of 12.3 TW, the Hydro sources
represent a 39% and Thermal represents a 61%. The contribution of conventional
thermal sources grew rapidly since the start of natural gas imports from Argentina in the
late 1990s.

The country has four separate electric systems:
The Central Interconected System (SIC) (Sistema Interconectado Central), which
serves the central part of the country.
The Norte Grande Interconected System (SING) (Sistema Interconectado del Norte
Grande), which serves the desert mining regions in the north; and
The Aysen and Magallanes Systems (Aysen and Magallanes systems), which serve
small areas of the extreme southern part of the country.

13. Unlike the SIC, the large majority of the electricity supply of the SING comes from
thermal sources, chiefly imported natural gas from Argentina. In the SIC, conventional
thermal sources constitute about half of the total electricity supply, while in the SING
they constitute almost all of the supply.

All the above explains why many of the proposed gas-fired power projects shall also
have the ability to run on fuel oil or diesel. Also why coal-fired power plants have
begun to receive renewed attention (Chile has two existing coal-fired facilities) and
why, in the longer term, it is expected liquid natural gas (LNG) provide the country with
fresh source for electricity generation.

14. With regards to the use of Eolic plants, the System of Aysen (Southern) has one Eolic
plant in the center Alto Baguales, of the company EDELAYSEN S.A. that generates
1.98 MW in 2006 (0.02% of the total electrical energy system).
With regards to Biomass: According to official data from CNE, there are 9 generation
plants delivering Biomass electricity in the SIC. The process with forestal waste as fuel
generated 103.9MW and black liquor (lignite, a sub-product of cellulose industry) 73
MW. Comments from Industry sources state that the additional biomass capacity could
amount to 225 MW in 2007.

Other strong factor influencing the development of NCRE’s is naturally the increase of
imported fuel prices. As for example, between the years 2003 and 2005 imports of
crude oil went from USD2.125 to USD3.779 millions with an average 77.7% price
increase; Diesel imports went from USD 187 to USD 910 millions where price affected
in 88.8% and Thermal Coal imports went from USD 38 to USD 181 millions with an
average 69.8% price increase.

15. Projections of the Demand of Electrical Energy
The following table shows the CNE projections of demand for the SIC and SING
systems until the year 2009. The total increase in demand in 2009 year (1,020 MW)
should be composed among other sources by a 15% corresponding to NCRE which
amounts to 150MW. In a recent Wokshop about Science Earth, a value of 320 MW was
estimated for the additional requeriments of NCRE for 2010 year. (Source: “Energetic
source and sustainable development: Ecologic Consequences”. Chilean Academy of
Science: Workshop “Present Situation of Science Earth in Chile: Energy and Fuel to
sustainable development in the country”. Santiago, October 2006)

If the Industry projections, concerning the feasibility of 225 MW Biomass Generation
Capacity in the year 2007, become true then the goal of the Chilean Government could
be achieved easily. This could encourage other industries to increase the use of biomass
in the production of heat and steam.
1.4 Perspectives
The Global Context:
It seems methodologically convenient to review what is being done by the developed
countries to approach the problems of the increase of oil price, energetic dependence
and pollution, ever since those practices will eventually become local practices in Chile
adopted both by the Government and Industrial operators.
-High prices of Oil lead to its substitution by Coal, Natural Gas or NCRE. The
projections made by the USA Ministry of energy make that assumption in their
estimates for the increased share of coal, natural gas and renewable sources including
water (from 56% in 2003 to 62% in 2030) in the matrix of the world energetic balance
and as a counterpart, the relative weight of oil will tend to decrease from 39% in 2003 to
33% in 2030.
-In the the search of strategic independence, the American government has provided
considerable amounts of resource to promote the development of oil and natural gas
saving technologies and those using some other kind of fuels.
The USA initiative funded USD 2.1 billions in 2007 for this ends.

16. These kinds of initiatives are also being implemented in Europe, Japan and China. The
inversion in NCRE amounts to 25% of the total of investment in the energy sector in
2005 (30,000 USD millions).
The next table, The Renewable Power Capacities in EU, shows Top 5 countries, and
Development Word, 2004. In USA the power capacity based in Biomass was
approximately 8 GW (from the graphic of Fig. 2.11). Compare this value with the 176.9
MW generated by biomass in Chile.

sustainable development in the country”. Santiago, October 2006
b) Support Programs to Renewables Energies use.
The inestability in the supply of Natural Gas form Argentina has lead the Chilean
Government to promote a Sustainable Energy Security Plan and the need for a saving of
energy led it to promote a Country Energetic Efficiency Program.
Sustainable Energy Security Plan
This Plan is mainly based on:
-Boost development of new generation sources, both traditional and non-traditional.
-Create a framework for the energetic interchange among countries of the region.
- Ease clerical procedures environmental impact studies without affecting
environmental requirements
-The assurance of the compatibility of new coal thermal generation plants consistent
with environmental policies

17. -Instruments leading to a 15% increase share of the electric generation in the year 2010
come from NCRE.
-National plan implementation for the use of efficient energy (Country Program for
Energetic Efficiency). See details in the following paragraph.
Government Policies to support the attainability oft these goals in the NCRE real are:
i) Small Sized Energy Projects based on renewable sources.
Grants for studies pre-investment studies or specialized consultory during the stage of
pre-investment for projects related to NCRE.
Co-Funding up to 50% of the total cost of the study or consultory activity
The amount to be subsidied will be up to 2% of the estimated total value of the project
investment with a maximum of $US 60,000 per project. So far, 3 calls for propposals
have been done.
ii) Innova Chile – Public Interest Innovation – National 2007
Funding channels to support projects aimed to improve conditions of markets and
contexts for the innovation and technological development. The results of these
initiatives must have high impact and involves significant work in research and
development.
Companies and institutions must provide 20% of the value of the project. Innvova
Chile provides 80% of the money with no return. Typically bids are USD 1 million.
Country Energy Efficiency Program
As during the last ten years the Chilean primary energy consume increased at an annual
average rate of 4.5% while GDP of the country grew at a 3.6% per year in average, the
Government started in 2005 the design a energetic efficiency program
(/www.programapaiseficienciaenergetica.cl/). The estimated impact of the Energy
Efficiency Program is an annual 1.5% of consume decrease.
To achieve these goals, besides the finnancial instruments already mentioned above,
CORFO (Corporación de Fomento), the National Institution for Industrial Promotion,
sponsors the Energetic Efficiency Pre-Investment Program which allows companies to
hire a consultant to do all or some of the following tasks:
-Energetic Efficiency Audits.
-Implementation plans for the energetic efficiency measures.
-Formal Formulation of the Investment Project to be presented before a finnancing
source. Corfo funds 70% of the total cost of the consultancy with a maximun of USD
10,000.

complementary analytic columns with Industry of pertenence of the every company and
classification with respect to target Size range between others have been inserted
Because the extension of these databases it is not possible to insert it here in complete

the Excel files in Annex for valuable informations. In the case of imports database, it
can be consulted also the Annex in Word corresponding to an actualization of advance
report-chapter four.

21. 6.2 Satisfaction levels: With respect to equipments performance and the service aspects
The performance of actual equipments is not a matter of preoccupation for the Chilean
end users today. In part this is probably related with the huge fuel provision problem
they are daily facing because the shortage in Argentine natural gas.
Also the pre and post sales services are not specialy complex issues for the Chilean end
users. In part this could be associated with the fact that companies directly perform the
boilers maintenance through internal teams (except in case of bigger interventions like
burner changing).

23. 6.4 Specific decision making criteria while selecting the supplier
By far the more important factors Chilean end user consider to build decision regarding
providers of boilers are compliance to pollution and safety norms as well as guarantee
/warranty terms. And, on the contrary, the location of supplier’s manufacturing plant is
the less important issue for them.

6.5 Decision making: Who decides on the type of equipment viz Thermal Oil Heaters
as well as Industrial Boilers to be installed at the site or is it the client?
EPC Contractors as well as all end users reported that in the case of Chile is the end
user who makes the decisions regarding boilers acquisitions. Main reason is most
Chilean EPC Contractors are rather small and avoid become involved in finantial
operations that could even compromise their business stability.

24. 6.6 Buying: From manufacturers or distributors
In Chile the buying is performed directly with the manufacturer as when boilers are
locally manufactured the distributors don’t participate at all and according the table
from below in the period 2002 - 2006 the buying of imported boilers was performed in
an 89% of the total value by end users dealing directly with the manufacturers from
overseas -distributors explaining just a 7% of the total figure.

25. 6.7 Views on the technological aspects of the products.
According the expressions from EPC Contractors, End users that leads industrial areas
as for example the Wood, paper & cellulose and the Agroindustry & food processing
industries, tend to use top technology units from world players like Cleaver Brooks and
Loos.
And when they look for solids fired equipments in the neighborhood, go for brasilian
specialist like Biochamm and Engecass. Import data in the table from below confirms
the above.

On the other side, according comments received from some end users and also from
local Steam & Heat Services providers, there are companies that make firstly all efforts
to locate cheap used boilers able to be refurbished. However, the same comments
establish that there is a growing shortage of these used boilers.

26. 6.8 Procedure adopted with respect to procurement
It is very clear from the table from below that Chilean end users prefer to have a solid
influence over the procurement process and in a 93% of cases specify and buy by
themselves directly.

27. 6.9 Other important players: the Steam & Heat Services providers
Along the research, the following Steam & Heat Service companies were revealed as
relevant to this project:
Comercial Catamutun S.A. (www.catamutun.cl) that -appart from the above
mentioned services- imports and distributes coal. Also forms part of the Catamutun
Group that is now looking for ways to diversify from its original coal focus;
Vapores Industriales Ltda. (www.vaporesindustriales.cl) a family owned medium-
sized enterprise than operates togheter with Arrimac Ltda another company focused on
boiler rental from the same family;
Conade S.A., now Dalkia-Chile (www.dalkia.cl) that forms part of the Steam & Heat
Services French specialist Dalkia Group, and
Energía Verde S.A. (www.energiaverde.cl) that forms part of world player in energy
AES Gener Corp.
There is more information about these four companies on their web sites and in the
chapter 8 of this report.

28. 6.10 Fuels & Steam costs (10 real cases)
Most persons interviewed were necessarily from the technical area as for example Chief
Maintenance and in general refused to become involved in the delivery of company cost
data going furter than,as for example, qualitative expressions like “cost of fuels doulble
when changing from natural gas to diesel oil”.
Fortunately, an additional desk research permited to locate the following informations
about the current situation on fuels and steam costs in Chile.
Fuels costs:
By taking as a reference the fuels costs in USD/MMBTU from March 2007, the table
from below shows that when Chilean companies must change from Natural Gas to
Diesel oil, an increase of 70% in the fuel costs occurs. Same comparison performed
with prices from November 2006 shows the total jump in costs was of almost a 500%.
But when Chilean companies are able to change to solid fuels (Wood; Coal), their fuel
cost can diminish in around a 50%. This explains the interest in Chile for solid fuels.
Between the solid fuels, forest wastes are perceived as a fuel actually or potentially
controlled by the hugest companies from the Wood, paper and cellulose industry, while
agricultural wastes are considered as fuels requiring a complex logistic and involving a
risky dependence from small and unstable agricultural wastes producers. Coal, on the
contrary, is perceived as a very available fuel from overseas and this explains the
renewed interest in Chile for this material.

29. 6.10 Fuels & Steam costs (10 real cases)
Steam costs (10 real cases):
As the table from below shows, average steam cost for ten Dalkia centers in Chile using
diesel oil was 12,32 USD/m3 in 2005. It is interesting to note these Chilean companies
decided to pay Dalkia a Margin of 32.63% (48.5% mark-up); in other words, an average
price of 18.29USD/m3.
As since then the diesel cost has experienced important changes, the figures in the table
from belo shall be taken as an approximation to current situation.

It was estimated that the Chilean market size in 2006 (base year) was USD 8.2Million
and 52 boilers and that will grow up to USD 13.7Million in 5 years (2011) including
USD 5.15Million in solid fired boilers.
Thermal oil based equipments, that had an almost negligible share in 2006, will
probably remain similar along the period as there are no signals of any inminent change;
Pyrotubular units, that in 2006 had a 13% of market share, shows a trend to grow and
they could represent in 2011 for example a 20% the rest corresponding to acuotubular
(60%) and mix systems (20%) and geographically the Metropolitan Region, that has
been representing around a 50% of total local markets for a lot of years, will probably
still represent approximately the same portion on the market in 5 years more..
Potential buyers will come principally from the driving sectors Wood, paper & cellulose
and Agroindustry & food processing.
Most boilers already have dual diesel-natural gas burners but solid fired boilers in 2011
will represent around a 40% of total market size in USD, so there is a solid potentiality
around this speciality. In this segment the main competition will come from Brasil but
also local manufacturers will be fighting on it.
And between solid fuels, coal will be receiving special attention from most end users all
the time of interest as the first liquefied gas plant will be operative only around the end
of the period while boimass from agriculture will suffer the lack of an industry
developed around the concept but end users that already produce wastes shall be targets
all the time.

33. 8.3 Potential partners for Client in Chile
From the comparison between four potential parteners for Client in Chile exposed in the
table from below, we believe:
The first option for Client to perform a partnership in Chile should be XXXXXXXX
because XXXXXXXXXXX is very well know, has a complete contact network in the
market and additionally is able to secure the fuel provision (coal). This partner should
provide the company with the better results in the short and medium term.
The second option for Client should be the company YYYYYYYYYYYY a specialist
in steam and heat services provision by using solid fired boilers, specialy catering the
biomass fired boilers development in the long term.
