Exhibit 99.2


This presentation includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, which provides a "safe harbor" for such statements in certain circumstances. The forward-looking statements
include statements or expectations regarding future contracts, projects, demonstrations and technologies; amount and
timing of production of RC, revenues, earnings, cash flows and other financial measures; future operations; our ability to
capitalize on and expand our business to meet opportunities in our target markets and profit from our proprietary
technologies; scope, timing and impact of current and anticipated regulations and legislation; future supply and demand;
the ability of our technologies to assist our customers in complying with government regulations and related matters. 
These statements are based on current expectations, estimates, projections, beliefs and assumptions of our management.
Such statements involve significant risks and uncertainties. Actual events or results could differ materially from those
discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including but
not limited to, changes in laws,
regulations and IRS interpretations or guidance, government funding, accounting rules, prices, economic conditions and
market demand; timing of laws, regulations and any legal challenges to or repeal of them; failure of the RC facilities to
produce coal that qualifies for tax credits; termination of or amendments to the contracts for RC facilities; decreases in
the production of RC; failure to lease or sell the remaining RC facilities on a timely basis; our inability to ramp up
operations to effectively address expected growth in our target markets; inability to commercialize our technologies on
favorable terms; impact of competition; availability, cost of and demand for alternative tax credit vehicles and other
technologies; technical, start-up and operational difficulties; availability of raw materials and equipment; loss of key
personnel; intellectual property infringement claims from third parties; seasonality and other factors discussed in greater
detail in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
such statements and to consult our SEC filings for additional risks and uncertainties that may apply to our business and the
ownership of our securities. Our forward-looking statements are presented as of the date made, and we disclaim any duty
to update such statements unless required by law to do so. We refer to certain non-GAAP financial measures in this
presentation. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial
measures can be found within this presentation.

Adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin percentage excludes coal sales and raw coal purchases and retained tonnage
operating expenses. Adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross profit percentage are non-GAAP financial measures which are used to
provide investors with greater transparency with respect to the effect on gross margin from Clean Coal’s operation of certain RC
facilities for its own account.  We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information for
investors regarding the performance of our business and the effect on gross margin and gross margin percentage of the operation
of these RC facilities by Clean Coal for its own account.
