US Energy Policy Act of 2005

Significant incentives for gasification

• IGCC 20% ITC, up to $800 MM in credits

• 80% Federal loan guarantees, advanced technology projects

• “Clean Coal Power Initiative”, $1.8B FY 2006-2014

•“Clean Power Projects”, many specific applications identified

Energy Policy Act Will Accelerate the Widespread Application of Gasification Technologies…Especially IGCC

Multiple IGCC OfferingsIGCC Reference Plant – GE and Bechtel’s IGCC Alliance

• Structured product – nominal 630 MW

• Lower CAPEX/shorter cycle time

• Single point solution – full wrap & performance guarantees

IGCC Non-Reference Plants

• Custom IGCC power plants

• Co-production – polygen applications (power, steam, H2, methanol, FT liquids)

• Performance guarantees

• Multiple EPCs

IGCC Power Block Supply

• All gasification technologies

NGCC to IGCC Fuel Conversion Projects

• Under-utilized assets

• IGCC performance guarantees possible w/GE power blocks

IGCC Commercial Status

2005

GE acquires CVX gasification technology

June2004

• CAPEX too high (20 - 25%)

• COE too high (+10%)

• Poor Initial RAM

•No system guarantees or warrantees – only license

• Drive technology synergies

• Provide single-point offering with strong contractual guarantees

• Step increase investment in product development – CAPEX, COE, RAM
