Additional Benefits/Savings
Benefits
Up to 30% less SO2 and NOX from already low PRB
Reduces CO2 emissions due to increased efficiency
Handles, transports and stores as well as PRB coal
Savings
No costly retrofits; avoids shut-down periods
Increases boiler efficiency; reduces OPEX costs
Enhancement/alternative to post-combustion
control equipment
No added disposal problems

Based on 70+ Years
Coal Processing in
165 Plants Worldwide
Water recycled as steam
Coal: Strong Fundamentals
Strong US & Global coal markets
Demand
Global economic growth
Increasing electrical demand
Costs increasing for competing fuel sources
Supply
Eastern US reserve depletion
Increasing mining costs
Under-utilized/Stranded low Btu coal needs transformation by
“enabling” process
Minimal near-term nuclear or hydro capacity
additions
Weak economics/limited capacity for renewables
U.S. East vs. West Price Gap Widening
High Btu coal prices rising
Little spare capacity
Environmental regulations limiting new production
Restricted new mining permits
Reserve depletion
Outstanding economics/margin potential for K-FuelTM

Financial Structure Overview
(For Illustrative Purposes Only)
License Fee – $5 per design ton
1st half payable upon ground breaking
2nd half payable upon completion of plant construction
Royalty – 5%/ton of arms length sales price
Carried Interest until simple $-on-$ payback
3-3.5 years estimated simple $-on-$ payback
Right to invest (minimum 25%)
IRS Sec. 45 Tax Credit
“Refined Coal”:
A solid synthetic fuel
Sold with expectation it will be used to generate steam Results in qualified emission reductions from comparable coal
At least a 20% reduction in NOx, and
At least a 20% reduction in either SO2 or mercury
Results in an increase >50% in the market value of the feedstock
In service before January 1, 2009
Amount of Credit:
In 2005 dollars, credit equals ~$5.50, escalated for inflation
10 year duration from “in-service” date Applies to the AMT
Mercury Emissions
EPA proposed mercury reduction cap and trade rule
~48 tons emitted/yr. using 1999 EPA baseline data 38 ton cap 2010-2017 15 ton cap 2018 and beyond
Possible mercury allowances $35,000-$200,000/pound
K-FuelTM has, on average, 70% less mercury than feedstock K-FuelTM combined with post-combustion control equipment capable of even higher mercury removal
Mercury Emissions (cont.): K-FuelTM Economic Advantages
Eastern compliance coal (Low SO2)
FOB cost spring 2005 ~$55-65/ton
Potential mercury cap & trade cost ~$8-45/ton Total cost of eastern compliance coal with potential mercury allowances ~$63-110/ton

EPA’s proposed MACT for existing units burning subbituminous coal is 5.8lb/TBtu, a limit which all the K-Fuel exceeds. Several K-Fuel levels are close to or meet the proposed bituminous level of 2.0lb/TBtu.
*Note: Moisture and Btu percentage numbers have been rounded to the nearest whole number.
