2 Global Challenges What if you could reduce operational energy costs? 20-40% of the cost of steel comes from energy costs 2

3 Global Challenges What if you could considerably increase your power output & efficiency utilizing the same amount of process gas? Typical power increase seen when shifting from BSTG to HDGT configuration 3

4 Global Challenges What if you could utilize by-pass gases as a means to reduce or eliminate your plants oxygen load? 10/700 Pressure and temperature of compressor off-gassing in low-btu applications 4

5 Global Challenges What if you could rapidly shift from one fuel source to the next without worrying about the calorific value? Currently advertised lowest heating value of a GE 9E low-btu HDGT 5

6 You can Technology & constant Innovation are the keys to answering these challenges China 170 MW Fuel: COREX Steel mill gases Singapore 173 MW Fuel: Refinery Residue GE Gasification GE Low BTU fuel experience: 4.7 GW installed (21 plants) 47 gas turbines with LBTU/syngas Over 2,000,000 operating hours Plants in USA, Germany, Italy, Canada, Netherlands, Singapore, Czech Rep., China, Middle East Czech Republic 350 MW Fuel: Brown Coal Lurgi Gasification 6

7 Power: From Process Gases 38,000 The number of homes equivalent of energy saved by installing one of GE s 9E Gas Turbines Combined Cycle Power: China 175 MW Power house BFG/COG fueled Saves $32 MM/year Reduces CO 2 by 2 MM tons/year 7
