Gasification 101 Just the Basics C + O 2 + H 2 O CO + H 2 Carbon + Oxygen + Water Carbon Monoxide + Hydrogen The partial oxidation of carbon to produce a "synthesis" gas Gasification is not combustion!
Gasification Basics Slurry Prep Coal/Petcoke Water Coal/Petcoke Slurry 55% - 70% Solids
Gasification Basics Air Separation Oxygen Oxygen feed to gasifier 95% to 99+% purity Cryogenic distillation -180 Deg C ASU Nitrogen Argon Air Compressor Co-production of N 2 and Ar for liquid sales, NO X control, general inerting
What is Gasification? Oxygen Controlled Chemical Reaction Up to 1,000 psig or more Nominal 2,600 Deg F Coal or Petcoke Water Products (syngas): CO (Carbon Monoxide) H 2 (Hydrogen) [CO/H 2 ratio can be adjusted] By-products: H 2 S (Hydrogen Sulfide) Gas Clean-Up Before Product Use! CO 2 (Carbon Dioxide) Slag (Minerals from coal)
What is Gasification?

Why Coal? The U.S. has lots of it U.S. recoverable reserves of 268 Billion tons = 250+ years of supply We can distribute it Existing infrastructure in rail, barge, mine mouth It costs less and is less volatile in price $0.75-1.75/MMBtu vs. > $4.00-6.00/MMBtu for NG We re familiar with it 50% of current U.S. power is from coal It broadens our national fuel portfolio Insulates against price and availability shock of oil and natural gas IGCC Delivers Fuel Diversity and Energy Security Slide provided by ChevronTexaco

7 Drivers of Natural Gas Crisis Return to more normal winters after unusually mild recent winters Steep drop in U.S. natural gas production since early 2001 Continuing rapid growth in use of NG to produce electricity Rapid growth in number of gas-heated homes Declining imports from Canada Increasing exports to Mexico Andrew D. Weissman, Energy Ventures Group
Vast New NG Construction Program More than 184 GW of gas-fired capacity brought into service since 2000 Enough new generation to serve more than ½ of Europe!!! Average capacity factor of NGCC plants in 2003 was 32%, leaving over 3.3 Tcf/yr of overhang capacity for NG demand William Rosenberg, National Gasification Strategy

Coal needs to return as a key feedstock and energy source in the U.S.!!! Gasification is the technology of choice for converting coal to clean and efficient power, chemicals, fertilizers, and fuels.
Why Gasification? It is the cleanest coal/petcoke technology Inherently lower SO X, NO X, and PM Lowest collateral solid wastes and wastewater Potential for lowest cost removal of mercury and CO 2 It is proven technology 21+ years of successful commercial operation at Eastman Multiple commercial IGCC s (e.g., TECO Polk, Wabash) It is becoming increasingly competitive Capital cost at parity with other clean coal and dropping Lowest dispatch cost of all fossil fuel technologies It is gaining acceptance Gaining support of environmental groups (e.g., NRDC, CATF) Numerous state and federal initiatives and incentives It provides great promise for the future Flexible feedstocks, process options, and products Opens new markets for coal (synfuels, chemicals, fertilizers) It provides the only feasible bridge from coal to hydrogen (directly converts coal/petcoke to hydrogen)

IGCC Economics are Increasingly Competitive EPC Capital Costs Near Parity with PC Plants: Capital costs of pulverized coal plants have been increasing to ~ $1100-1400/KW as emissions requirements have tightened. Capital costs of IGCC have been falling (currently projected as ~ $1200-1400/KW) as multiple plants are built and improved, with considerable additional downward potential. Lowest Dispatch Costs: IGCC Dispatch Costs (fuel + variable O&M + environmental costs + consumables) are the lowest of all fossil fuel technologies.

Key Advantages of IGCC vs. PC Boilers Environmental: Inherently lower air, water, and solids emissions Pre-combustion treatment vs. post-combustion treatment enables easier and lower removal of pollutants Low-cost effective volatile mercury removal Much lower costs for CO 2 capture than with PC Efficiency: Combined cycle turbines or fuel cells vs. only steam turbines IGCC capital costs falling while efficiency increases; PC/SCPC capital costs increasing while efficiency falls Flexibility: Upgrade later at minimum cost for CO 2 sequestration, mercury removal, or to increase sulfur and NO x removal Ability to co-produce chemicals, fertilizers, fuels, or hydrogen Can handle variety of feedstocks including petcoke and biomass
Gasification Ready for Prime Time!! Competitive cost of electricity (superior dispatch cost - lowest for all fossil fuels) Exceptional environmental performance, including cost effective volatile mercury removal and potential for lowest-cost CO2 capture and sequestration Refueling of NGCC plants (replacing NG with coal) Production of hydrogen to fuel the coming economy (FutureGen Initiative) Promise of new markets for coal - potential for transformation of the chemical, fuels, and fertilizer industries Gasification is the future for coal!!!

Eastman Environmental Performance Cleanest U.S. coal gasification facility. Sulfur removal is > 99.9% (with Rectisol); <0.1 ppm sulfur in our syngas. Eastman has a patented sulfur-free start-up process (no SO 2 from flare). Eastman has practiced essentially complete vapor-phase mercury removal from syngas since our initial plant start-up. Excellent environmental record and reputation.
