6 AGENDA A Carbon-Constrained World: Challenges and Opportunities Transforming Carbon from Waste to Asset Technology Snapshot: CO2 Conversion to Liquid Fuels X PRIZE and New NRECA Multi-G&T Membership

7 Presenter Dale T Bradshaw Technical Liaison to CRN s Generation, Fuels, and Environment Membership Advisory Group and Contractor to NRECA

8 A Paradigm Shift Around Emissions of CO2 From Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) Carbon Capture costs appear to be very expensive and dramatically increases fossil plant parasitic loads Geologic Sequestration has unknown costs, unknown geologic consequences, and unknown liabilities To Carbon Capture and Recycle (CCR) High carbon capture costs can be more than offset by high value for recycle and utilization of carbon as chemicals or liquid hydrocarbon fuels

9 Transforming Carbon from Waste to Asset The Goal: Validate at a commercial scale new technologies and products that make capturing CO2 from coal plants a revenue stream, not a liability. Additional competitions may be launched including CO2 utilization from natural gas-fired production streams. Led by Tri-State G&T. Sunflower Electric Power Co-op is a founding member. $10M purse for winning competitor

10 CO2 Utilization-Massive Market Opportunity

11 CO2 Utilization Technologies

12 Technology Snapshot Potential Technologies for CO2 Conversion to Liquid Fuels

13 Converting CO2 Using High Temperature Co-Electrolysis (HTCE) CO2 and high temperature steam from Fossil Plant input to Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Plus Electricity from Grid, Wind, and/or Solar Output is Green gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, chemicals, and Oxygen Oxygen can be input for retrofit fossil plants for Oxycombustion Solid Oxide Fuel Cell 13 Oxygen used for Oxycombustion

14 Oxy-Combustion with CO2 Utilization X 14 Chemical Plant Pure Oxygen Syngas as Hydrogen and Carbon Monoxide HTCE Unit

15 Use of Syngas from HTCE and Oxycombustion

16 ECOCAP Catalytic Gasification Bevin Reactor with Conversion of 12 K tons CO2 Plus Coal to Petroleum Products CO2 Steam Coal 50 to 65% ROI with oil at $75/BBl. 50,000 BBl/day Bevin Reactor ($1.125 Billion/year) will consume 5 million tons of CO of these reactors will consume 50% of the US CO2

17 ECOCAP Conversion of 13K Tons CO2 per Day to Liquid Fuels Using Natural Gas Feed

18 Competition Criteria The Tri-State Carbon X PRIZE will stimulate technology innovation to create value from captured CO 2 to help solve our energy challenge Prize Winning Criteria Time Frame $10 million prize Ongoing carbon capture and recycling contract for top contenders Capture and recycle at least 80 percent of the CO 2 provided Create the highest commercial value from the recycled carbon Not exceed maximum thresholds for water and energy use 4 years

19 Recent Successful X PRIZE Competitions Develop production-ready, fast, affordable cars that exceed 100 MPGe Top teams achieved between 100 and 139 MPGe 136 teams from 11 nations spent >$100 million Generated >12 billion media impressions worldwide Develop vertical lift-off and landing vehicles for lunar exploration 12 teams spent > $20 million Competitors earned multiple commercial contracts Inspire innovative solutions to speed the pace of cleaning up seawater surface oil 38 teams competed from four nations 2x recovery rate improvement required 4x recovery rate achieved
