5The 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.
Coal
6Global 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.
7Why 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.
8White 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.
9The 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.
10The 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.

13Market 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.

14Market 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.

Roadmap
18White Energy Zero Emissions Strategy
- Coal upgraded by the White Coal Technology can be
used to supply each of the stages of the coal
technology lifecycle, offering immediate CO2
emission reductions of up to 10. - White Energy will continue to partner with major
players in the coal value chain, from coal
producers to utility providers. - These strategic partnerships will enable the
production of a number of high value end
products. - White Energy will continue to develop and acquire
synergistic technologies in both coal upgrading
technology and emissions reductions, driving the
company toward its objective of zero emissions.
