1 Good Spring IGCC A Repeatable New Development Model for Gasification Presented By: James P. Palumbo, PE, EmberClear Gasification Technologies, Conference 2011 October 10, 2011

2 EmberClear: Company Overview Turnkey project solutions with commercialized technology and financing. Fastest turn around time in the Western world. Fabricators EPC Technology/Huaneng (HCERI) Partner Banks & Investors EmberClear 2

3 EmberClear: Company Overview Exclusive rights to HCERI commercial technologies o Gasification, CFB, Super Critical and CCS Strong Presence in high growth energy regions o Americas, Eastern Europe and India Financing for qualified projects through Asian partners o Helping clients develop power and CTL project in US and Europe Owner of Good Spring IGCC o Fully permitted 270 MWe (net) facility in U.S. EmberClear traded Toronto Venture Stock Exchange (TSXV: EMB) o Offices in Calgary, Houston, Pennsylvania, Bratislava, Beijing 3

4 China Huaneng : Company Overview Already collaborating with U.S. Government Largest coal IPP: 115 GWs power in China & Australia NYSE division of Huaneng $7 billion USD market cap Huaneng China Energy Research Institute (HCERI), a worldrenowned R & D facility with advanced Gasification, Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB) and other clean coal technologies 4

5 New Project Paradigm: China & U.S. Must Work Together Sustainable project success and easy to replicate Global credibility as biggest energy consumers Largest government R&D programs Financially tied nations Track record of collaborative success (i.e. U.S. China Clean Energy Research Center, Huaneng Clean Energy Research Institute, GreenGen IGCC) 5

6 Knowledge Transfer From China Coal technologies Experience with hundreds of commercial projects GreenGen October 2011 Jobs and contracts in America GreenGen Knowledge Transferred To Good Spring 6

7 American Jobs and Contracts $5 billion economic impact on typical $950 million project i.e. Good Spring IGCC* Hundreds of millions flows to U.S. contractors 1,000 jobs per project Improves coal s outlook Good Spring Coal Drilling October 2011 * Figure computed from NEPA Alliance economic Impact study on Good Spring 10/11 7

8 Foreign Investment from Canada, China & Others Strategic debt and equity Subsidy from foreign governments rolled into technology Rigorous standards but less technology concerns Lower cost money Cheap U.S. dollar for foreign investors Lowest risk Better returns Indirect asset ownership structures 8

9 Good Spring Science Center Research on clean air Potential to displace shale gas fracking fluids with clean CO2 Potential favorable conditions for Shale and saline sinks Near Penn State Coal Research Labs Penn State gasification and CFB research 9
