4 History Center opened th Anniversary Advertisement Originally supported synthetic transport fuels industry Expanded: electric power & emissions control, carbon materials, biofuels, electrochemical devices

5 Research and Development (R&D) Our Mission Service to Industry Teaching and Instruction

6 Resources Funding: 7-8 Million USD - 38% grants and contracts Research Staff Staff of about 100 (1/3 PhDs) Additional 25 students and faculty

7 Research Emphasis Applied engineering pilot/demo scale Resources - coal, oil shale, bio-fuels, H2 End-use - Electricity, fuels and chemicals, carbon materials At the plant mines, utilities, refineries, mill

8 Applied Research Mining - Coal Prep/Cleaning - Coal Slurry Ponds** - Mine Mapping Center Electric Power - Generation - Emissions Control** - Carbon Management - Beneficial Re-use of By-products (ash, slag, FGD, etc.)**

9 Applied Research Fuels, Chemicals & Materials - Coal-to-Liquids (CTL) Technologies** - Catalyst Research and Testing Center - Oil Shale Retorting - Carbon Materials** - Environmental Catalysis - Agricultural Bio-fuels** - Fuel Cells, Batteries and Devices

10 Coal Slurry Ponds Coarse waste shale/ rock Fine coal waste 508 KY Sites 650M tons potentially recoverable

11 Coal Fuel Briquettes Product Coal-equivalent fuel for power stations made of coal fines and saw dust Briquettes - 14,000 Btu/lb

12 Power Generation Cost Availability of Supply Reliability Environmental Compatibility - Carbon management at top of list Photo art: A. Benlow

13 Research directed to Lowering Energy Penalty of CO 2 Capture Options Post-Combustion Capture: PC + MEA (28-34%) Steam consumption for stripper: 20% of gross power output Booster fan and agent pump for MEA scrubber: 3-4% of gross power output Pre-combustion Capture: IGCC (total 15-24%) ASU + oxygen compression: 8-12% of gross power output Selexol CO 2 separation: 2% of gross power output In-situ Capture: Oxy-Fuel Combustion (total 22-32%) ASU: 15-20% of gross power output Flue gas recirculation: 2% of gross power output Possible CO2 further enrichment (unknown) ** Compression Train: 5-10% of gross power output

14 By-Products - Power Generation (Ash, Slag, FBC & FGD Materials) Large volume fly ash produced Ohio River Valley Area around Kentucky - 32 PCC plants - >7M tpy (1/2 from KY) 60% beneficial re-use some states/ky 20% Fly ash quality lower/declines due to pollution control (low-nox burners) and co-firing Requires upgrade to increase quality and use Additional by-products from scrubbers, FBC, IGCC require other handling

15 Current Uses for By-Products A $500,000,000 Kentucky Industry Roofing Granules from Cyclone Combustors 500,000 Tons From Kentucky Sources, $14,000,000 value $2.4 million in wages Concrete Additive from PCC Fly Ash Wallboard from Flue Gas Scrubbers 450,000 Tons From Two Kentucky Wallboard Plants $60,000,000 in Wages $190,000,000 Product Value 100,000 Tons From Kentucky Sources, $1.6 million value

16 Clean Fuels and Chemicals Started w/ direct coal liquefaction, oil shale retorting, product upgrading Emphasis on CTL and GTL catalysis - internationally-recognized catalyst center Shift to hydrogen optimization Bio-fuels Environmental catalysis

17 Coal Fuel Alliance Obama-Luger Amendment - Section 417, 2005 EPAct Improve research capabilities (6 slurry bubble column FT reactor/refinery for wax upgrading to fuels Focus on producing test fuels Labor force development - training engineers / operators *$9M capital/$1.5m annual operating.

18 Biomass Process Scheme Radius of Feasibility Current CAER Research Activities Briquetting and Agglomeration Resolution of technical obstacles impeding commercial production of briquetted fuels from coal and biomass wastes; Production of biomass briquettes as an alternative fuel Biomass gasification/ pyrolysis Biomass fast pyrolysis with in-situ catalyst to yield high-btu oils Biomass liquefaction On-Site Thermochemical Densification of Biomass Integrated biomass gasification to PC for green electricity generation Biochar as soil amendment and Hg sorbent

19 Graphite Carbon Materials R&D Pitch & Coke Fiber and Composites Nanotubes Active Carbons
