The World Needs Coal
  • By 2100, nearly half of the worlds energy supply
    is projected to come from coal.
  • Dwindling reserves of oil and natural gas suggest
    that their contribution to world energy use will
    show modest growth at best.
  • Any new demand will be met partly by carbon-free
    energy sources, but mostly by coal.

Global Market Drivers
  • Rapidly growing coal demand - Global coal demand
    is expected to grow significantly through 2030,
    particularly from the fast growing economies of
    China and India (IEA).
  • New crude oil paradigm placing upward pressure on
    competitive fuels - Rising crude oil pricing is
    increasing demand for cheaper, indigenous fossil
    fuels.
  • Deliverability of high quality coals is declining
    - In both North America and Asia, production of
    high thermal value / low emission coal is
    declining.
  • Increasing global emphasis on emissions
    reductions - Across the globe, emissions of CO2,
    SOx, NOx and Hg are coming under increased
    regulation. Coal is a vital resource option for
    meeting the worlds sustainable energy needs.
  • Coal needs to be clean to be viable - Global
    sub-bituminous and lignite (brown) coal deposits
    are relatively underdeveloped because their high
    moisture and low energy content create
    utilisation, transport and environmental
    inefficiencies.

Why White Energy?
  • White Energy has a technology that represents a
    first step in building a cleaner coal solution.
  • White Energys unique coal upgrading technology
    is commercially viable.
  • White Energy has demonstrated the ability to
    monetize significant value-add.
  • White Energy has capable, incentivized
    management.
  • Near term revenue generation.

8
White Energy Upgrades Low Value Coal
  • White Energy has a technology that represents the
    first step in building a cleaner coal solution.
  • The White Coal Technology is an evolutionary
    process that speeds the maturation of lower grade
    coals.
  • The upgrading technology removes coal moisture
    and improves heat content and quality of the coal
    to higher energy levels characteristic of higher
    value bituminous coals.

9
The White Coal Value Added Process
  • The White Coal Technology was originally
    developed by a consortia led by the CSIRO, the
    pre-eminent Australian government sponsored
    research organisation.
  • Low value coal is crushed and rapidly dried to
    remove water content.
  • Compaction generates close bonding between the
    dried coal particles without the need for
    expensive binding agents.
  • As a result, high density, higher energy content
    briquettes are formed.
  • The process works on both fine and lump coal.
  • Coal samples from China, the US, Australia,
    Indonesia and South Africa have all been
    successfully processed.

10
The White Coal Technology Benefits
  • Higher energy content WCT increases heat energy
    37.5, creating valuable power generation
    efficiencies.
  • High volume production capacity
  • Low upgrading costs Favorable conversion
    economics allow the product to compete with
    bituminous coals.
  • Lower spontaneous combustion risk Upgraded coal
    is physically and chemically stable, and can be
    handled, stored and transported as normal coal.
  • Lower transportation costs Process reduces
    moisture, resulting in up to 30 decrease in load
    volumes and concomitant transportation costs.
  • Reduced greenhouse gas and pollutant emissions
    More efficient burning results in lower CO2, SO2,
    NOx and Hg emissions.

Market Development - Asia
  • Outlook
  • Demand for thermal coal in Asia will grow by 77Mt
    (66) of total global growth.
  • Strategy
  • Target Indonesia, China India (13.4 of global
    reserves).
  • Initial agreements with Bayan Resources and Adaro
    / Itochu for development of Indonesian coal
    deposits and other pipeline opportunities.
  • Agreement with Datang for development of Inner
    Mongolian deposits and other Chinese
    opportunities.

Market Development North America
  • Outlook
  • Central Appalachian compliance coal supply has
    fallen 60 MPTA in last 10 years.
  • US power utilities switched from local bituminous
    coals to avoid costly flue gas desulphurization
    plants.
  • Strategy
  • Establish foothold in Powder River Basin region
    (US), the largest sub-bituminous coal producing
    region in the world, with an annual output of
    more than 350M tonnes.

2007 Highlights
  • Endorsement by BHP Billiton Funding announced
    US35M BHP to act as exclusive global marketing
    agent.
  • Successful capital raises A23M private
    placement at A0.96 per share (2006) A45M
    convertible note at A3.44 per share (2007).
  • Construction of first Indonesian plant begun
    Commissioning expected by mid-2008.
  • Second Indonesian JV signed Adaro Group and
    Itochu Corporation to establish a 1MTPA plant,
    with intention to increase to 8MTPA.
  • China feasibility study commenced Part of JV
    with Datang International Power Company Ltd to
    build plants aggregating 10MTPA.
  • AusIndustry Grant A4.35M provided by the
    Australian Government to fast-track construction
    of new demonstration plant.
  • Pipeline developments Coal samples from
    potential JV partners in China, Russia,
    Indonesia, Australia and South Africa have been
    successfully processed.
