Energy Consulting quoted in the Arabian Business
report, whereas the cost of gas is the critical factor in determining the profitability of petro-
chemical projects, in GTL the profitability of a project is relative to three factors: the quan-
tity of NGLs gained from gas production; the premium that GTL-derived products gain
over conventionally derived liquids products; and blending synergies with condensate derived
products and GTL output. “With GTL, you can produce everything that a conventional
refiner can manufacture other than gasoline, as the naphtha yield is very highly paraffinic,”
said Troyer. “Most GTL products, as they emerge in outturn have a specific quality problem
which needs modification through additives or blending with conventional fuel. GTL jet fuel
specifically failed on freeze point, but Shell claim to have overcome the issue,” said Troner.
GTL is also used in the manufacture of blended diesel fuels. Blending diesel and GTL solves

1. USC Chemists A recent patent application by University of
Research Potential of Southern California chemists George Olah
Nanotechnology and and G.K. Surya Prakash details the pos-
Carbon Capture sibility of using nanotechnology and
carbon capture to supply “a perma-
nent inexhaustible supply of carbon 15 10 4,5
containing fuels or products,
13 2,7
which subsequently can be com- 11
busted or used without increas- 9 8
3,6
ing the carbon dioxide content
1
of the atmosphere.”
The application relates to
a method for neutralizing or reduc-
ing the carbon footprint from car-
bon dioxide emissions due to human
activities related to the combustion or
use of conventional carbon containing fuels.
The method includes an initial step of capturing
carbon dioxide and then chemically recycling it to Plant
form and provide a new and permanently inexhaust-
ible supply of carbon containing compounds in the form of fuels, synthetic hydrocarbons or
other products, which fuels and products subsequently can be combusted or used without
increasing the overall carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere.
The carbon dioxide can be captured from flue or off-gases of coal or other fossil fuel
burning plants, geothermal power facilities, cement, aluminum or other industrial plants
or factories, industrial or agricultural wastes or byproducts of natural gas production. The
carbon dioxide also can be captured and removed from the air or atmosphere by absorbing it
onto a suitable adsorbent followed by heating or otherwise treating the adsorbent to release
the adsorbed carbon dioxide therefrom.
Preferably, the captured carbon dioxide is chemically recycled into methanol by vari-
ous hydrogenative reductive processes. Other products, such as dimethyl carbonate, can be
formed by reaction of the methanol with phosgene or by oxidative carbonylation of metha-
nol. Advantageously, the methanol can be dehydrated to convert it to dimethyl ether which
then can be used as is or as a starting material to form additional products, which can be
used as a substitute for natural gas and LPG for heating purposes for households or indus-
trial use. Dimethyl ether can be heated in the presence of an acidic-basic or zeolitic catalysts
to form ethylene or propylene. The ethylene or propylene can then be converted either to
higher olefins, synthetic hydrocarbons or aromatics and their products, for use as feedstocks
for chemicals or as transportation fuels. The ethylene or propylene can be hydrated to form
ethanol or propanol and specifically isopropranol. These carbon based fuels and products
then can be conventionally combusted or utilized without increasing the carbon footprint of
any individuals or entities and without causing any further harm to the atmosphere by emit-
ting any further carbon dioxide.

2. C-to-CO Conversion Research at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst (UMass-Amherst) and the University
Process Could of Minnesota has developed a new method of converting biomass feedstock into fuel with
Revolutionize greater efficiency and less emissions than traditional gasification processes, reliableplant.com
Chemical Industry reported April 21, citing UMass-Amherst chemical engineering department member Paul
Dauenhauer. Dauenhauer explained the new process in Technology Review, an MIT publica-
tion. The approach gasifies biomass in the presence of precisely controlled methane and CO2
in a special catalytic reactor the researchers have developed. The result is that the carbon in
both the biomass and the methane is converted into carbon monoxide instead of CO2.
Applying the technique allows the use of 100 percent of the carbon in the biomass,
doubling the proportion of fuel-producing carbon than in conventional gasification and
thus doubling the amount of fuel that can be made from an acre of biomass feedstock, said
Dauenhaur. The drawback to existing biomass gasification processes is that half of the carbon
in the biomass gets converted into CO2. One of the ways, the researchers concluded, to
improve on this process is to control the “breakdown environment.”
To increase the yields from the gasification process, the researchers add CO2, which,
combined with hydrogen, produces water and carbon monoxide. Adding additional hydro-
gen is required to complete the process, providing energy to drive the reactions. The new
process uses methane to generate the hydrogen within one reactor. While it has been possible
to achieve these steps in separate reactors, Dauenhauer says that the researchers’ innovation
accomplishes the same task in a single reactor.
A commercial version could be installed next to an existing gas-fired power plant,
providing access to methane and CO2; however, Technology Review notes that the process is
not yet ready for commercialization. The researchers will need to demonstrate that the process
works with biomass not just cellulose derived from biomass. Given contaminants are found in
biomass that are not found in pure cellulose, study of possible negative effects of such contam-
inants will need to be made to ensure that they do not have a negative effect on the catalyst. In
addition, there could be challenges in scaling up the technology, the publication added.
3. Hydrocoal The third annual Energy Technology Summit held by the Southwest Virginia Technology

Technology Summit tronic fusion, solar power advances and Hydrocoal, tricities.com reported April 21. Hydro-
Coal is a new process designed to make gasifying coal more economical and environmentally
friendly. “Our business is about taking dirty, inexpensive coal, which is found abundantly
all over the world, into clean renewable fuels for billions of people,” said Randy Taylor co-
founder and president of Hydrocoal LLC. The company is considering a demo location in
Wise, Ga. According to the company, given that the common method of grinding coal to
fine particles was problematic, the company sought to resolve the problems with existing
gasification processes by grinding the particles to 10 microns in diameter. “It’s a coal tornado.
Coal swirls around inside and grinds itself,” Taylor said. The smaller particles react faster and
at lower temperatures. According to the company, when integrated with commercial tech-
nologies for gas cleanup, HydroCoal systems promise to deliver coal-derived fuels as clean or
cleaner than natural gas at half the cost.

5. Plasco’s Waste-to- Plasco Energy Group’s (Plasco) Trail Road waste-to-energy demo facility in Ottawa, Canada
Energy Plant to Start is expected to begin commercial operations this May, CBC News reported April 22. The facil-
Soon ity is designed to divert 85 t/d of waste from the local landfill and generate enough power for
3,500 homes. Plasco has been testing the demo facility for the last three years. Plasco CEO
Rod Bryden said that the wait is over. Bryden expects the facility will pass a final emissions
test to satisfy the requirements of the provincial Ministry of Environment. Bryden expects
Plasco to sign a deal with the City of Ottawa in May to begin directing household waste to
the facility.
Once the deal is finalized, household waste collected by the City will be delivered
to the plant, including up to 8% non-recyclable plastics otherwise destined for landfill. For
every ton of waste processed, enough energy is generated to power the facility and provide
1,150 Kwh of electricity to Hydro Ottawa. That’s enough to power a household in Ottawa
for 45 days. The system will also produce a small amount of inert residual solid for use as ag-
gregate for concrete and asphalt.

generate more than a megawatt-hour of net power per ton of waste processed, Plasco said.
The waste conversion process begins with any materials with high reclamation value
being removed from the waste stream and collected for recycling. Once these high value
products are removed, the MSW is shredded and any remaining materials are removed and
sent for recycling.
The MSW stream enters the conversion chamber where the waste is converted into
a crude syngas using recycled heat. The crude syngas that is produced flows to the refinement
chamber where plasma torches are used to refine the gas into a cleaner syngas, known as Plas-
coSyngas.
Now refined, the PlascoSyngas is sent through a Gas Quality Control Suite to
recover sulphur, remove acid gases and segregate heavy metals found in the waste stream.
The result is a clean, energetic PlascoSyngas created from the conversion of waste with no air
emissions, the company said.
The solid residue from the conversion chamber is sent to a separate high temperature
Carbon Recovery Vessel (CRV) equipped with a plasma torch where the solids are melted.
Plasma heat is used to stabilize the solids and convert any remaining volatile compounds and

fixed carbon into crude syngas. This additional crude syngas is fed back into the conversion
chamber. Any remaining solids are then melted into a liquid slag and cooled into small slag
pellets. The slag pellets are an inert vitrified residue sold as construction aggregate. Leachabil-
ity tests have been conducted on slag emerging from the process and have confirmed that the
slag does not leach and is non-toxic.
6. US$500 Million Kramden LLC of West Columbia, SC proposed to the Darlington County Council locating
Plasma Gasification a US$500 million plasma gasification facility in Darlington, SCNow reported April 8. The
Facility Proposed in facility is designed to convert municipal solid waste into fuels. Kramden LLC representative
Darlington Frank Hough said that the project would create 3,000 jobs during construction and 300
permanent positions. Kramden LLC is not seeking the county’s financial support, but would
seek a commitment to assist in obtaining requisite land permits as well as a 30-50 acre tract
of land, with close access to interstate highways, rail and sufficient water supply to accom-
modate the facility. Hough said that the company is also in consultation with other counties
in South Carolina concerning the proposal. County Attorney Jim Cox said that the council
would need to conduct further research on the proposal before taking further action.
7. Annapolis Plans The city of Annapolis, Md. has plans to use a high-efficiency plasma gasification process to
MSW Gasification vaporize municipal solid waste (MSW) at its dormant solid waste landfill (SWL), according
Facility to an April 14 tmcnet column by Mary Cronin.
In the column Cronin interviews Doug Smith, the city’s chief administrative officer
(CAO), who states that the gasification project would follow a first-stage project to install
photovoltaic panels.
Last November, then-acting-CAO Bob Agee told The Baltimore Sun that though no
household trash has been disposed of at the SWL for decades, the city spends about $180,000
a year on maintenance and groundwater contamination and methane gas monitoring.
Although the SWL is closed and capped, the city continues to collect yard and wood
waste and deposit that refuse on one side of the SWL site.
In stage one, about 150 acres atop the landfill would be installed with photovoltaic
panels that could generate 15 to 20 MW of electricity.
Commenting on stage two, Smith said, “We are not doing anything untested in
terms of the processing – simply using a waste product (in our case wood and yard waste)
as the raw material to convert into a gas product that will in turn be converted into steam
and other sources of energy to be used by the city. One of the most innovative aspects of the
program is actually our model for partnering with commercial developers to turn what is cur-
rently a city cost center – the SWL—into an affordable source of renewable energy.”
Annapolis hopes its gasification facility will use both city and surrounding commu-
nity wood and other organic waste to generate up to 20 MW of electricity, according to The
Baltimore Sun report.
According to Smith, the solar and gasification projects will be part of an extensive
“Renewable Energy Park” project that includes an “educational center for energy processing
and sustainability.
8. Possible Plasma Orange County, North Carolina may embrace ultra-high temperature plasma arc gasification
Gasification in North technology (PAGT) for municipal solid waste (MSW) disposal because of concerns about
Carolina local landfill capacity, according to an April 9 The Daily Tar Heel report.
The Orange County Solid Waste Advisory Board hosted a presentation on PAGT - a
process that can be used to gasify MSW to generate electricity and produce rock-like byproducts.

The byproducts can be used for road construction according to Lou Circeo - a long-
time expert on optimizing waste conversion - who is director of the plasma research program
at the Georgia Tech Research Institute.
“It can melt glass, metal and food,” Circeo said. “The [syngases] that the plasma
produces are clean and can be used to make electricity.” Circeo added that PAGT uses little
air and is efficient at producing syngas.
Orange County has a significant MSW problem – there are projections that the local
landfill may reach capacity in 2012. However, PAGT requires large MSW volume to be cost
effective – so partners will be needed.
Circeo said plants need at least 200 t/d of MSW to make PAGT cost-effective - ac-
cording to a Chapel Hill News April 9 report - and that’s what Orange County generates.
Most plants are designed to process at least 600 t/d according to Circeo.
Circeo stated that about fifteen U.S. governmental units or joint agencies are develop-
ing plasma-arc plants including St. Lucie County, Florida – which plans to generate electricity
to generate revenue that may lower tipping fees (fees paid by trash haulers for discharge).
Jan Sassaman, chairman of the Solid Waste Advisory Board, said the proposed plasma arc
facility needs tons of trash to work - and would need the participation of surrounding counties.
The concept of gasification was difficult for many presentation attendees to compre-
hend. “Tonight was information for us and the community,” Sassaman said. “We are going to
listen to other technology people before we make a recommendation.”
Paul Spire, solid waste operations manager for Orange County, remarked that the
technology was intriguing. “I think we are going to monitor the [PAGT] plants that are com-
ing along,” Spire said. “This is possibly an answer to our problem.”
9. Waste Gasification A waste-to-energy gasification facility is planned for Danville, Kentucky. Scorpion Interna-
Facility Planned for tional Waste Solutions has contracted Integrated Environmental Technologies (IET) to build
Danville, Kentucky its state of the art waste gasification plant on site. The IET plant will be capable of processing
800 t/d of hazardous and industrial waste. This plant would process all of the incoming waste
and begin to mine the existing landfill for waste.

reported April 16. Duke Energy said that the growing scale of the project and complexity
resulted in the US$530 million cost increase. Indiana regulators must review the company’s
filing before the additional costs can be figured into customers’ electric rates. In November,
Duke Energy alerted the regulatory body that project costs could rise by US$150 million.
The project is 57 percent complete, factoring in all phases of its development.
The facility is scheduled online in 2012. “We worked with GE, Bechtel and other
design firms to perform an engineering study early on. However, as engineering progressed,
the project’s design and complexity expanded significantly. Unfortunately, this evolution in
scope and complexity makes an increase in the cost estimate impossible to avoid,” said Duke
Energy Chief Operating Officer James Turner. Regulators granted Duke Energy permission
to construct the facility in 2007.
12. Radar Acquisition Radar Acquisition Corp. (Radar) announced April 15 that it has signed a licensing agreement
Signs CTL Licensing with C2E Global Ltd (C2E) for the exclusive rights to a proprietary Coal to Liquids Technol-
Agreement ogy (CTL-T). The CTL-T converts coal into liquid fuels (e.g. oil, jet fuel) at an economical
cost with zero air born emissions. An existing plant in China is currently using CTL-T and
has the capability to produce 100,000 tons of fuel oils per annum which is approximately
1,900 barrels of oil equivalent per day
The agreement provides the company with an opportunity to further develop its coal
portfolio and Radar will, in particular, be focused on leveraging this technology on its existing
coal resources and assets in Alabama and Colorado. Radar and C2E will jointly fund all proj-
ect feasibility costs at a rate of 50% each. The term of the Agreement is for a period of 3 years.
13. ClearFuels Signs ClearFuels announced April 15 that it has signed a cooperative agreement with the U.S.
Agreement for US$7.7 Department of Energy (DOE) to receive its first US$7.7 million of a US$22.6 million grant
Million of DOE Funding award to construct its biomass gasifier at Rentech’s Energy Technology Center. The US$7.7
million award reflects the Company’s satisfaction of all conditions of its grant for budget pe-
riod 1 under the DOE’s Integrated Bio-refinery Grant Program. Budget period 2 is expected
to start in the third quarter of this year.
The grant will facilitate the integration of ClearFuels’ synthesis gas technology with
Rentech’s Fisher-Tropsch process, with the goal of demonstrating efficient, flexible, low-cost
production of certified, drop-in, renewable diesel and jet fuel from clean biomass at Rentech’s
Product Demonstration Unit in Commerce City, Colorado. This joint demonstration of an
integrated bio-refinery is anticipated to be completed in late 2011 and will lead to the final
design basis for commercial facilities that are expected to use the combined technologies.
ClearFuels has begun development of multiple commercial-scale biomass-to-energy projects
in the southeastern United States and Hawaii.

15. Partners Submit Canadian Natural Resources and Northwest Resources (Northwest) have submitted their bid
Bid for Oilsands to form a jointly operated 50,000-b/d upgrader near Edmonton, Calgary Herald reported
Upgrader April 9. The facility would use a one-step bitumen conversion process with integrated CO2
management. The conversion process incorporates the gasification of oil at the bottom of the
barrel to hydrogen, reducing the need for gas, making it one of the most advanced facilities
in the world, Northwest said. The deal is expected to close in 2010, assuming the Canadian
government chooses Northwest to process its share of oil in lieu of royalties, Calgary Herald
reported. “We have more detailed engineering, but could sink piles this fall and start major
work in 2011 with an opening in 2013,” said Northwest chairman Ian MacGregor. The facil-
ity could eventually be expanded to 150,000 b/d.

1. Cleaner Coal Marking a critical step toward the deployment of
Technology Moves “cleaner coal” technology in China, GE and
Forward in China China Power Engineering Consulting
5
Group Corporation (CPECC) signed
agreements with the U.S. Trade and
Development Agency (USTDA).
7
Under the terms of the agree- 6
ments signed April 16, USTDA
will fund a feasibility study that 1,2
3
would support the advancement
of commercial scale integrated 8
gasification combined cycle
(IGCC) facilities in China based
on GE-designed IGCC technology.
In this initial study phase, GE and 4
CPECC will evaluate the cost and per-
formance of an IGCC design. IGCC and
carbon capture technologies have been com-
mercially demonstrated and will need to be widely
Plant
deployed to enable low cost power generation from
domestic energy resources, while at the same time achieving significant reductions in carbon
dioxide emissions globally, the GE press release said.
Governments and industry in both the United States and China have critical roles
to play in accelerating the deployment of these commercial scale IGCC facilities. Gasifica-
tion technology has become a critical tool in the expansion of the Chinese economy, allowing
a wide variety of industrial products and fuels to be created from low-cost, abundant coal
resources. GE’s gasification technology is one of the most widely applied technologies of its
kind in China, with more than 40 licensed facilities.
As gasification projects in China get larger and more complex, advanced technologies
such as GE’s new larger scale quench gasifier and higher-pressure gasification technology will
be critical to reducing overall project cost, the company said. The United States and China are
two of the largest consumers of coal for industrial applications and power generation. There is
significant interest in seeing cleaner gasification technologies and IGCC with carbon capture
widely deployed in a carbon-constrained environment. GE has been at the forefront of IGCC
technology for more than two decades. GE technology was involved in several milestone
projects, including the pilot IGCC plant, Coolwater, in Barstow, Calif., and the Polk Tampa
Electric IGCC plant in Florida that helped demonstrate the commercial feasibility of IGCC.
GE also is supplying IGCC technology for Duke Energy’s plant in Edwardsport, Ind., that is
expected to be the world’s largest IGCC facility when it comes online in 2012.
2. Synthesis Energy According to reports some 94% of China’s nitrogenous fertilizer comes from costlier coals
Systems’ U-GAS like anthracite. Producers have been hesitant to switch to lower cost and lower quality coals
Technology Provides due to the high capital costs associated with changing technologies and the lack of available
New Alternative for technologies that can burn low quality coal, said Synthesis Energy Systems (SES).
Fertilizer Industry Recently the Shandong Provincial Fertilizer Association in China together with

Synthesis Energy Systems, Inc. hosted an Ammonia and Methanol Industry Technology
Promotion Seminar, in order to promote supporting technologies solutions for these various
issues. One of the main concerns during this year’s session was how to utilize lower cost lower
quality coals in order to lower production costs in the nitrogenous fertilizer industry
The seminar promoted SES and its U-GAS gasification technology. SES has the
worldwide exclusive rights to the U-GAS gasification technology, originally developed by the
Gas Technology Institute. The U-GAS technology, with the support from the US Depart-
ment of Energy, has had continuous research and development for over three decades. The
spotlight was put on the U-GAS gasification technology because it has the unique ability of
being able to gasify low rank “waste” coals while also having a much lower capital cost than
its competitors, SES said. U-GAS is considered a “green coal” technology and is able to gasify
low rank coals without producing harmful effluents like tars or sulfur dioxide.
The SES Zaozhuang operating plant conducted a lignite test in October 2009,
which made coal chemical headlines when the U-GAS gasification plant was able to seam-
lessly transition from the coal it was designed for to an Inner Mongolian lignite from Bai-
yinhua Coal Mine. The 10-day test attained a carbon conversion rate of 95.6%. Following
the lignite test, an expert panel organized by the Shandong Science and Technology Bureau
evaluated the test results and positively concluded that the SES gasification system features
noticeable innovations and is hence forth accepted to have reached an advanced level glob-
ally in the fluidized-bed gasification of lignite and is therefore worth extensive promotion in
related industries, the company said.
3. Thar Province Could Pakistan’s Thar province coal fields could supply 50,000 MW of electricity through the gas-
Supply 50,000 MW of ification of coal, Pakistan’s The Nation reported April 9, citing a statement by Samar Muba-
Power rakmand, a member of the science and technology planning commission. The deposits could
supply electricity for 800 years, said Mubarakmand. Work is currently underway to build
a 100 MW gasification facility using Thar coal as feedstock in the next 15 to 18 months as
a pilot project. This will be followed by a second phase where plants ranging from 500 to
1,000 MW will be installed. Mubarakmand is optimistic that after three years of develop-
ment, Pakistan will be able to install a 1,000 MW power plant in Thar province. Power
generated from the gasification facilities will be sold to the Sindh government at less than
natural gas prices. Pakistan will focus on developing the turbines and generators for the facili-
ties in Pakistan to save on the import cost of the equipment, which Mubarakmand estimates
consumes as much as 75 percent of the plant cost.
4. Indonesia to Switch The Indonesian government plans to start replacing LPG with DME for household use in
to DME from LPG to November 2011, The Jakarta Globe reported April 19, citing the country’s Energy Ministry.
Reduce Subsidy Costs “DME will help to cut out LPG imports and it could also be used for industry and transpor-
tation,” said Saryon Hadiwidjoyo, downstream director at the Energy Ministry’s directorate
of oil and gas. Households would use DME or an LPG/DME blend to cook with. “DME is
an environmentally friendly fuel with a similar composition to LPG. It could use the same
canisters,” said Hadiwidjoyo. Currently, PT Artu Mega Energy is the only Indonesian com-
pany that produces DME from methanol. The company sells the DME in 65-kilogram and
700-kilogram cylinders for use as aerosol propellant for hair spray, perfume, deodorant and
painting materials. In July 2009, Pertamina signed an agreement with PT Artu Mega Energy
to produce 1.7 million tons of DME per annum for 30 years.

5. ConocoPhillips’ ConocoPhillips announced April 15 the completion of an agreement with POSCO, a Korean
E-Gas Technology steel manufacturing company, to use the company’s E-Gas Technology in POSCO’s Gwang-
Selected for POSCO yang coal-to-syngas project.
Gasification Project The project, located near POSCO’s Gwangyang steel mill near Gwangyang, Korea,
will allow POSCO to produce 500,000 metric tons of pipeline quality syngas annually from
the gasification of approximately 1.8 million tons of coal. Preliminary design work began in
2008 and site preparation is now underway.
Under the agreement, ConocoPhillips will provide process engineering design and
technical support relating to the gasification technology process block of the syngas facility.
This process design package will be developed in the company’s Houston offices. POSCO is
one of the world’s largest steel makers. Headquartered in Pohang, South Korea, the company
has approximately 30,000 employees.
The Wabash River Project was selected by the DOE in September 1991 as a CCT Program Round IV
demonstration project. Construction was started in July 1993 and commercial operation began in November
1995. The demonstration was completed in January 2000, and continues to run as a base-load unit serving the
electrical generation need of Indiana.
The Wabash River Project demonstrated use of the E-GAS coal gasification process to fuel a combustion
turbine generator, whose exhaust is integrated with a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) to drive a steam
turbine generator. Courtesy ConocoPhillips.
6. Kurita Develops Kurita Water Industries Ltd. has developed a wastewater treatment technology to help coal-
a New Wastewater fired power plants reduce their environmental impact to a large extent by removing selenium,
Treatment Technology a regulated substance, from wastewater. Kurita will deliver the first system based on this
technology to an electric power company in Japan.

Wastewater from the gas treatment process of coal-fired / coal gasification power
plants contains selenium. To comply with this law, companies in Japan are required to reduce
the amount of selenium in wastewater to below the regulation standard (0.1 mg/L).
It is generally difficult to remove selenium from wastewater by conventional meth-
ods, and coal-fired power plants have been in need of a technology to effectively remove
selenium from wastewater to ensure efficient wastewater treatment.
With this new system, power plants can remove selenium from wastewater to below
a concentration of 0.1 mg/L, and the plants can also decrease the amount of sludge produced
in comparison with the use of conventional technologies.
Kurita will promote the use of this system, which can greatly contribute to the
reduction of the environmental impact caused by electric power companies and coal-fired
power plants, both in and outside Japan, the company said.
7. Shenhua/Sasol Wrap China’s Shenhua Group and South Africa’s Sasol have completed a feasibility study for a
CTL Feasibility Study proposed 93,000-b/d CTL facility in China, Upstream reported April 14. According to a
Reuters report, Zhang Yuzhno, Shenhua Group’s CEO, told a conference that the completed
feasibility report will now be handed over to the Chinese government for approval. Sasol is
the world’s largest coal-to-oil producer.
8. Indian Company India’s Coimbatore Corporation (Coimbatore) has constructed and brought online a biomass
Opens Gasifier gasifier crematorium in Saravanampatti, India, The Hindu reported April 13. The facility was
Crematorium Facility constructed for US$50,000. Named “Moksha Griha,” the facility will meet the demand of
local suburbs. Indian firm Pricol opened a similar facility a few years ago in Periyanaicken-
palayam, India. Coimbatore plans to construct two other biomass gasifier crematoria. The
company has identified a site for one of the facilities in a former garbage yard.

1. Cougar Energy, Cougar Energy and Eneabba Gas Limited (EGL)
Eneabba Gas Form have signed an agreement for the explora-
UCG JV tion and development of the Sargon coal
tenement (E 70/2578) in the Mid
West Region of Western Australia
as a potential underground coal
gasification (UCG) project. Under
the terms of the memorandum
of understanding the parties will
establish a binding agreement to
conduct exploration, test work 2
and studies to assess the potential
suitability of the defined Sargon 1 3
Tenement Area for a commercial
UCG operation to supply syngas to
a power station that may be devel-
oped by the joint venture (JV). “The
Sargon Tenement coal resource near Don-
gara in Western Australia exhibits good potential
for a long-life UCG project. It satisfies all of our Plant
preliminary due diligence enquiries,” said Cougar
Managing Director Len Walker. “The prospect of establishing a power generation facility on
the tenement accords with our strategy of building energy generation hubs around Australia
using syngas as a cost competitive feedstock,” said Walker. Cougar Energy’s flagship opera-
tion is the 400-MW Kingaroy UCG Power Station in Queensland. The facility was brought
online in March 2010. EGL is focused on developing its 168-MW natural gas-fired power
station on its property in Dongara.
2. Metrocoal, Chinese MetroCoal Ltd. (MetroCoal) announced April 8 it has signed a joint venture agreement (JVA)
Firm Form UCG with China Coal Import & Export Company (CCIEC), a wholly owned subsidiary of China
Exploration JVA National Coal Group Corp (China Coal). Under the terms of the Agreement, CCIEC has ac-
quired a 51% interest in MetroCoal’s EPC 1165 Columboola in the Surat Basin, Queensland
for an agreed expenditure commitment of A$30 million (US$27.72 million) on EPC 1165.
The funds will be used for exploring and evaluating the potential for future commercialization
options within the Columboola tenement and also opens up the opportunity for participation
in MetroCoal’s other tenements. Part of MetroCoal’s strategy is to define and delineate Un-
derground Coal Gasification (UCG) resources to at least a 100Mt reserve to support a UCG
– GTL operation producing the equivalent of 20,000 barrels of high grade, clean liquid fuels.
The Columboola JVA requires a minimum expenditure of $4 million within the first two years
of the agreement.
MetroCoal CEO Mike O’Brien said “China Coal is a substantial company producing
in excess of 100 million tons of coal a year. With access to this strong mining base CCIEC will
bring valuable technical skill and expertise into the joint venture, particularly in underground
coal mining. Discussions have been ongoing for some time and during this period we have
developed a good relationship with CCIEC Executives that will provide a constructive base

for our future relationship.” “In terms of the work program the Columboola JVA will con-
tinue the initial exploration activities in EPC 1165 and subject to the success of this program,
advance the development plans to exploit significant underground coal assets,” he said.
3. Golden Cross Golden Cross Resources has applied for nine permits in the Bowen, Surat, Clarence- Moreton
Resources to Drill and Galilee Basins in Queensland since November 2008 and is planning to drill four of its
Queensland Coal coal permits that have been recently granted or offered. The focus of exploration will be evalu-
Targets ating the potential of deeper “stranded coal seams” for UCG extraction where the opportunity
for shallow, open cut resources is limited. A 2,000 meter, 5-10 hole drill program is planned.
Of the nine applications, one has been granted in the Boonah area south of Ipswich
(EPC1643) and two have been granted and one offered in the area between Chinchilla and
Dalby (EPCs 1655, 1658 and 1659). These coal permits are located in the vicinity of the
Underground Coal Gasification-Gas to Liquids (UCG-GTL) projects of Linc Energy and
Carbon Energy, and the Kogan Creek and Wilkie Creek open cut mines.
Two other permit applications have been lodged in the Boonah area (EPCs 2068
and 2082) with the remaining EPC’s lodged in the Pentland area (EPC1642), Nebo area
(EPC1639) and Warwick area (EPC1656) are classified as competing applications.
GCR is waiting for the Department’s assessment of all 3 overlapping applications.
Over the course of the next three months GCR will refine its drill targets, and sub-
ject to drill rig and specialist consultant availability, evaluate the coal and UCG potential of
its granted coal permits and applications under offer when granted.

same price as current power stations.
UCG sites require the same impermeable rock to overhang target coal seams as those
formations that are suitable for trapping CO2. The Aachen project is part of a new wave
of scientists and companies that have identified UCG as a potential inexpensive method of
dramatically reducing greenhouse gas emissions. According to John Thompson, director of the
coal transition program at the Clean Air Task Force, global coal use will double over the next 10
years, and UCG holds more promise for affordably reducing emissions than any other option.
2. UCG Test in Poland Scientists of the Central Mining Institute (GIG) in Katowice, southern Poland, have
launched a test underground coal gasification project. The experiment is scheduled to last
two weeks. It will check the effectiveness of the underground coal gasification process with
simultaneous hydrogen capture.
3. UK Joint Venture to Thornton New Energy Limited and Riverside Energy Limited have formed a joint ven-
Develop UCG Project ture to explore and develop the coal resources under the Firth of Forth in Scotland. Once
exploration and testing is completed, the joint venture will use clean underground coal
gasification (UCG) technology to make the most of the vast resources which remain in the
Firth of Forth area.
Thornton New Energy – a subsidiary of British company BCG Energy Limited –
became the first company to be awarded a license for UCG in the UK in early 2009. BCG is
a company that was formed to harness the expertise of the North Sea oil and gas industry in
the development of clean energy from coal. When combined with carbon capture and stor-

age technology, underground coal gasification will offer a long term sustainable, cheap, secure
and environmentally benign energy supply which could last the UK for more than 100 years,
the company said.
The UCG license awarded to Thornton New Energy in January 2009 covers 27
square miles (70 square kilometers) of a coal field lying 1,000 to 2,000 meters or more below
the surface, which cannot be mined with traditional technologies. The new joint venture
with Riverside Energy extends the total field area to 95 square miles (240 square kilometers).
4. Goteborg Energi Goteborg Energi plans to build an estimated US$229 million biomass gasification facility in
Plans Biomass Sweden, Nordic Energy Solutions reported April 20. The facility will be designed to process
Gasification Plant low grade biomass such as forestry waste into syngas. The gas will be distributed to end con-
sumers via a natural gas grid. Much of the waste heat produced from the facility will be used
for district heating. The facility will be placed into operation in 2012.
5. Topsoe Involved Topsoe will participate in the design of a plant for producing syngas (SNG) from biomass.
in Swedish Project The complete process includes biomass gasification, tar scrubbing, gas conditioning and
Producing Synthetic methanation, resulting in a green gas for the gas grid. Topsoe will contribute with the gas
Natural Gas from conditioning and methanation technologies. The plant will be the first of its kind when on
Biomass
stream by the end of 2012 and it will be a flagship for a number of similar projects in Europe
and the rest of the world, the company said.
“Completely in line with Topsoe’s commitment to sustainable energy technology,
the plant is fully based on biomass. We are happy to supply our TREMP technology for this

important project which will be the first of its kind, demonstrating the sustainability of
wood to SNG,” said Roberta Cenni, Business Development Manager in Topsoe’s Technol-
ogy Division. The SNG will be fed into the existing gas grid, thus supplying gas for the
Gothenburg area. “The heat released by the process is recovered as superheated steam and
hot water. The hot water will be exported as district heating water, making the overall
energy efficiency of the system extremely high,” said Troels Stummann, Project Manager
Topsoe’s Technology Division.
On the Swedish side, the project is owned by the GoBiGas (Gothenburg Biomass
Gasification) (GoBigas) consortium, with main owner Göteborg Energi AB. The plant will
be placed adjacent to the Rya District Heating Plant in Gothenburg. “This is an important
milestone in the project and our work will aim at having the plant in operation in late 2012”,
said Åsa Burman, Project Manager and Managing Director for GoBiGas.
6. Russia Considering Russia is considering building a CTL plant, its first, according to Russian Energy Minister
CTL Development Sergei Shmatko speaking at a Moscow energy forum, favstocks.com reported April 12. Rus-
sia holds the world’s second largest reserves of coal, some 173 billion tons. In 2006, Russia
produced 321 million tons of coal, nearly a quarter of 2006 U.S. coal production. Deputy
Energy Minister Anataoly Yanovsky recently stated that the leadership of the Russian regions
of Western Siberia, Eastern Siberia and the Sakha-Yakutia Republic have all claimed the right
to build a CTL plant.
7. Planning Permission BioGen Power has been awarded planning permission by Bradford metropolitan borough
Awarded for ‘World’s council to develop 160,000-t/y waste gasification facility, letsrecycle.com reported April 9.
Largest’ Waste
The company plans to develop the facility in association with gasification specialist Energos.
Gasification Plant
BioGen Power has already secured similar planning permission for facilities in Irvine, New-
port, Barry and Doncaster. Construction on the Bradford facility is scheduled to begin in late
2011 and will be completed in late 2013. The facility will cost an estimated US$154 million.
8. Lisburn City Council The Lisburn City Council opposes plans to build a waste gasification facility, 4ni.co.uk
Opposes Antrim Waste reported April 12. City Councillor William Leathem said that a public inquiry hearing will
Gasification Plant
be held before a final decision is made. Leathem stated that the council has grave concerns
over the impact on the area, particularly the disposal of by-products from the facility. “Whilst
the site of the proposal lies within the development limits of Lisburn City Council Area, it
is important to remember that this is an area which is predominantly domestic/residential
in nature with an adjacent area of manufacturing/storage,” said Leathem. “The proposed use
may be detrimental to the residential population of the area and there is no clear evidence on
the application submitted that the noise and air pollution have been properly addressed in
this proposal,” he said.
9. Europlasma Signs Europlasma announced April 8 that a letter of intent (LOI) has been signed with a private
Letter of Intent for equity fund specializing in renewable energies for the financing and development of plasma
Financing Biomass
technology-based biomass gasification units. The agreement signed in September 2009 with
Gasification Units

Aleltho Energy LLP has been suspended as a result of differences between the parties.
The LOI signed between Europlasma and its new partner, a US$467 million private
equity fund specializing in renewable energies, is for the financing of plasma technology-
based biomass gasification units for a combined capacity of 54 MW over three years, then a
further 146 MW over two years, representing a potential total of 200 MW over five years in
the electricity from waste (EfW) sector.
Europlasma and its partner are bound by an exclusive three-year agreement. Fol-
lowing the initial three years of this partnership, the partner will have a right of first refusal
for financing the EfW unit projects for a further two-year period. The letter of intent also
provides for Europlasma to exclusively supply the units financed within the framework of the
partnership.
