6 Agenda Applications CHP & Waste to Energy - Where are Jenbacher engines used and why? Case Studies Project Examples with emphasis on high-efficiency Combined Heat & Power (CHP) and Renewable Energy Applications

7 Who is GE Jenbacher? 50 th Anniversary 2007 Jenbach, Austria Center for Global Excellence The year 2007 marks the 50th anniversary of GE Jenbacher s exclusive commitment to gas-only engines for power generation. During that time, the Global Center for Excellence in Jenbach, Austria has become the globally recognized clearinghouse for state-of-the-art technologies related to the use of a wide variety of synthetic gases, biogas, landfill gas, sewage gas, coal mine gas, and, of course, natural gas. With over 7,000 global installations including hundreds in the USA, GE Jenbacher remains the worldwide leader in custom, distributed CHP (Combined Heat & Power), high efficiency CoGeneration, renewable bioenergy, and sub-10 MW gas fueled power generation, holding over 38% of global market share.

8 Why Reciprocating Engines? Still the Most Efficient Prime Movers on Earth: 35-45% Electrical Efficiency Jenbach, Austria Center for Global Excellence Ideal for High Ambient Temperature & High Elevation Projects due to Positive Displacement (Otto Cycle) Relative Immunity to those variables {1/3 of derates associated with Gas Turbines (Brayton Cycle)}

9 Applications / Markets Industrial & Commercial CHP (distributed cogeneration and trigeneration) Hospital & University (district heating and cooling) Biogas from the Fermentation/Digestion of Organic Wastes (manures, food processing wastes) Landfill Gas Greenhouse CHP Coal Mine Methane Gas Syngas Gasified from biomass, MSW, TDF

10 Purpose: CHP Recycles Energy RecyclingEnergy.org Fuel Energy is Used Twice : Heat & Power

11 Energy Utilization Chart

12 Cogeneration is Where Ecology & Economics Meet on Common Ground High Electricity Costs (Including Complex Geographical Transmission Constraints) + Increasing/Volatile Natural Gas Pricing Ideal Circumstances for Local, Efficient CHP Solutions that SIMULTANEOUSLY Conserve Resources & Save Money sustainableenergy projects that transcend the Jobs vs. Environment Rhetoric

13 CHPC or TRI- Generation Heat + Power + Cooling

14 Combined Heat & Power (CHP): Classic European Energy Model CLEAN. LOCAL. EFFICIENT. SAFE. RELIABLE. PROVEN. QUIET.

15 Why CHP in the Northwest? Economic Gain from Energy Efficiency 20-30% More Efficient than Gas Turbine Combined Cycle Plants (5,000-6,000 btu/kw-hr vs. 6,500-7,500 btu/kw-hr) Reduction in Air Pollution Displaces Emissions from fuel already being used for stand-alone alone heating in favor of cleaner-burning CHP equipment (40%-60% of CHP fuel requirement is displaced from less efficient Heating ting-only systems) Local Power Generation at the Point of Use Defers Need for New Transmission Lines

16 Reliability = Value Electrical AND Thermal Redundancy as part of base design, CHP system doubles as emergency generation Grid Connected Operations via FERC Cogeneration Laws Continuous Duty, Globally Proven Machinery with International & Local Support

17 Numerous Far-Reaching Benefits of Higher Energy Efficiency Reduced Heating Costs For Thermal District Heating Host Businesses (5-25%) Reduced Urban Air Pollution via Cleaner CHP Technologies HIGH QUALITY EMPLOYMENT: Short-Term Construction Jobs Long-Term Operating Careers Increased Gas Distribution Sales by 40% (Bringing Clean Fuel to Point of Use) Zero Capital Cost to Local Utility (if 3 rd Party Owned) For Load Growth Support And Clean, Local, Efficient Power Generation Resource

18 Local CHP is a Low-Cost Resource
