USC and O&M experience in Japan The highest level of thermal efficiency and the lowest CO 2 emissions by USC. The longest history of utilizing USC technology. Impressive track record of thermal efficiency as well as high load factor by lots of O&M experience. Gross thermal efficiency (%, HHV) Japan China Korea Taiwan Indonesia 1990 1993 EU 2002 1995 2000 2005 2006 2008 2010 2015 Long history of USC experience 2015 2016 According to METI FS research 2010 & 2011. 2020 Year Coal-fired power plant in Japan Maintaining High Efficiency Degradation of Efficiency Coal-fired power plant in a country Years in operation According to The Federation of Electric Power Companies of Japan 2
Tentative calculation of power generation cost Capital cost per kwh depends on load factor. Proper O&M is essential to maintain load factor high. Fuel cost per kwh depends on net thermal efficiency. High-efficiency plant helps. USC plant properly managed would deliver lower power generation cost in the long-term. 1 USC Existing Sub-C 0 Capital Cost O&M Cost Fuel Cost Total Cost Load factor USC: 80% from Estimated power generation costs by power source, Cost Verification Committee, Japan Sub-C: 73% from the presentation of BEE, Power Plant Summit 2014 CII Delhi Net thermal efficiency USC: 40% from Evaluation of Life Cycle CO2 Emission of Power Generation Technologies, CRIEPI, Japan Sub-C: 26% from International comparison of fossil fuel power generation efficiency, ECOFYS, 2013 (However the figure as gross) Fuel cost Imported coal: USD69/t from the report of JOGMEC, 2015, Japan 3

UBC technology for utilization of low rank coal combined with USC plant UBC (Upgraded Brown Coal) Process at a Glance Developed by Kobe Steel, Japan and originally subsidized by METI. Removes moisture completely from lignite by highly energy efficient coal-oil slurry dewatering technology. (Lignite of TM 52% & 2,830 kcal/kg UBC of TM 0% & 5,900 kcal/kg) UBC product can be in the form of; i) Briquette for long distance transportation ii) Powder for direct feed to adjacent power station Good combustibility in normal USC plant Benefit by USC plant with UBC Plant i) Net thermal efficiency (HHV basis) Conventional (Subcritical): 29.2% [Improved by 18%] Integrated with UBC Plant (USC): 34.5% ii) Reduces CO 2 emissions [by 16%] iii) Extends lignite mine life (less consumption) iv) Makes operating cost lower 600 t/d Demonstration plant in Indonesia An Indian power company signed the MOU for pre-fs. 5
Summary High-efficiency power generation such as USC and the sufficient O&M know-how would deliver low power generation cost in the long-term. Upgrading is an one of important technologies to utilize Indian coal reserves. The CCT in Japan would contribute to stable power supply in India. 6
