Our approach to sustainability

A sustainable future, built on positive energy

Page 2: A sustainable future, built on positive energy

Everyone, everywhere should have affordable, clean energy

More than a billion people lack electricity.

Hundreds of millions more live with

unreliable or expensive power. Access

to reliable, affordable energy improves

health, education, food security, gender

equality, livelihoods, and poverty levels.

Creating that access - while also

positively impacting the environment -

is our fundamental goal.

Today, we modernize energy and power

infrastructure in emerging countries,

supplying a more affordable, cleaner fuel:

natural gas. Tomorrow, we aim to provide

zero-carbon energy in the form of green

hydrogen. Every day, our goal is to create

a world that’s powered by positive energy.

OUR SUSTAINABILITY GOALS

Page 4: A sustainable future, built on positive energy

A note from our CEOWe founded New Fortress Energy with a simple but

ambitious mission centered on sustainability. We want

to reduce emissions and increase access to power

across the world. Climate change is an existential threat

that is already impacting our planet’s ecosystems and

communities. At the same time, over a billion people still

don’t have electricity and the vast majority of humans

have limited or unreliable access. To address these

challenges, we sought to bring more affordable and

cleaner fuel to markets that have a growing need for

reliable power and electricity.

Our investments today focus on bringing natural gas to

markets that are almost entirely reliant on oil-based fuels

and lack the capital to invest in clean technologies and

grid improvements. To date, we’ve had great success

– our natural gas facilities have converted more than

900MW of oil-based electricity generation to efficient,

cleaner gas-fired generation in Jamaica and Puerto Rico.

And our projects in Nicaragua and Mexico will be online

soon. With these terminals built out, we will eliminate 1.6

million tons of CO2 for our customers per year. That’s the

equivalent of over 22 million trees planted or 300,000 cars

off the road annually. And for every additional 100MW of

power generation we convert, we will help reduce CO2

emissions by about 175,000 tons per year.

We also understand that lowering emissions isn’t the

same as eliminating them. Our goal is to be a net zero

emissions company by 2030. This is an audacious goal,

but one that I believe meets the urgency of rising global

temperatures.

"We're committed to publishing our first sustainability report in 2021."

We’ve created a new division within New Fortress

Energy, called Zero, to focus on using green hydrogen

to make our company the leading provider of

zero-carbon, zero-emission power around the

world. With hydrogen’s potential to displace natural

gas and other fossil fuels in transportation, power

and industrial purposes, there are tremendous

opportunities for renewable hydrogen.

Additionally, we are focused on making sustainability

and our environmental, social and governance (ESG)

practices the best in the energy industry. That begins

with transparency and measuring our progress. We

will publish our first annual sustainability report within

the next twelve months to provide our shareholders,

customers and partners a clear understanding of how

we intend to reduce our emissions and improve our

impact over time.

I’m really proud of all that our team has already

accomplished at New Fortress Energy to improve the

planet for future generations. We’ve built a successful

global company that reduces emissions, increases

access to reliable and affordable power and is at

the center of zero emissions innovations. It’s just the

beginning of our journey – and I’m confident that our

focus on sustainability will bring more success and

progress along the way.

Q& A WITH OUR FOUNDER, WES EDENS

Q: Why did you decide to start this new division of New Fortress Energy?

A: Our mission has been simple from the start. We want to reduce emissions

and increase access to power across the world. We’ve been very successful

building LNG infrastructure and bringing a cleaner, more affordable fuel to

our customers in markets that are reliant on heavily polluting oil-based fuels.

We’re making a positive economic impact while reducing emissions. But, that

is not enough.

With humanity facing an existential crisis in climate change, we need to

quickly move from low-carbon to no-carbon. That’s why we created

Zero, to focus on making our company the leading provider of

zero-carbon, zero-emissions power around the world.

Q: What are the next steps for division Zero and NFE with green hydrogen?

A: We are laser focused on finding hydrogen production technologies that

can produce hydrogen below $1 per kilogram. We intend to make at least one

investment this year, if not more, in promising early stage hydrogen production

companies that have a path to meet our targets. The next step will be to

deploy those technologies in real world proofs of concept projects as quickly

as possible. In the meantime, there are applications for hydrogen that we can

gain experience with. We intend to begin blending hydrogen with natural gas

in turbines next year to demonstrate the potential of carbon-free power.

Why renewable H2 + NFE?

This important and strategic partnership between the Government of Jamaica and New Fortress Energy to transition Jamaica’s energy sector to natural gas will assist in enabling the Government hold significant benefits for the Jamaican people; job creation opportunities, greater stability in the sector, innovation for our people and generally a brighter future for Jamaica. Ultimately, Jamaica’s energy efficiency and security will be strengthened.(6)

— The Most Hon. Andrew Holness, ON, MP. Prime Minister

It was a game-changing event when New Fortress Energy entered the local energy sector in Jamaica in 2015 as part of the vision to diversify the sector with the introduction of alternative energy sources. The decision taken by the then Administration to shift Jamaica’s energy production to include Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and other renewables was critical to developing our economy.(7)

Based on management’s estimates of average customer reduction of emissions and data based on https://www.epa.gov/energy/greenhouse-gas-equivalencies-calculator and IEA, C02 Emissions and Fuel Combustion Highlights – 2018, p. 147.

See The Jamaica Gleaner, “Clarke: Energy Mix to have Profound Impact on Economy”, September 10, 2018, for information about renewable integration and the IMF World Economic Outlook published in October 2018 for more information about Jamaica’s economic stability and decrease in unemployment. Factors other than the introduction of LNG and NFE’s actions contributed to the improvement in Jamaica’s economic stability, increase in renewable integration and the decrease in unemployment.

For more information about Jamaica’s credit rating and the impact of LNG on such increase see Moody’s rating actions from Caa2 to B3 stable dated November 21, 2016 (https://www.moodys.com/research/Moodys-upgrades-Jamaicas-ratings-to-B3-from-Caa2-changes-the--PR_358298), from B3 stable to B3 positive dated July 20, 2018 (https://www.moodys.com/research/Moodys-changes-Jamaicas-outlook-to-positive-from-stable-affirms-B3--PR_386264), and from B3 positive to B2 stable dated December 11, 2019 (https://www.moodys.com/research/Moodys-upgrades-Jamaicas-government-ratings-to-B2-outlook-stable--PR_414271). The information about the decrease of Jamaica’s debt to GDP ratio is based on information from Bloomberg between December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2017 (the latest data available as of February 3, 2020). Factors other than the introduction of LNG and NFE’s actions contributed to the improvement in Jamaica’s credit ratings and debt to GDP ratio.

For information about Jamaica’s situation prior to the introduction of LNG, see the Annual Report of JPS issued in 2014.

The percentages illustrated represent NFE’s internal estimate and expectations for Jamaica’s energy consumption by fuel for the full year 2021 based on information about Jamaica’s energy consumption of renewables the Annual Report of JPS in 2017 and Jamaica’s baseload capacity and therefore total energy demand in The Jamaica Gleaner, “Clarke: Energy Mix to Have Profound Impact on Economy” published on September 10, 2018. There can be no assurance that these internal estimates are correct or in line with Jamaica’s plans for energy consumption and fuel sources in the future. There can be no assurance that NFE would have a positive, similar, or any impact on the energy consumption and fuel sources used in any other jurisdiction in which it operates.
