PLASMA Complete CO2 Capture Highlights
C3Technology

• C3Technology mechanism
• High temperature oxygen fired technology
• Conventional technology approach at standard
  atmosphere
• Retrofit model to improve asset value of
  existing power generation
• Captured CO2 is pressurized and geologically
  sequestered.
• Optimized for low cost, high sulfur fuel stocks
• Two proprietary combustor designs
• Pulverized coal / petroleum coke
• Vacuum tower bottoms VTB
• Broad energy conversion application for PLASMA
  Technology
• Captures CO2 from new or existing power plants.
• Cogeneration power and steam applications for
  refineries.
• High quality CO2 for Enhanced Oil Recovery EOR
  in lighter oil.
• In-field cogeneration steam applications for
  thermal EOR.
• Specific designs based on oil producer
  requirements 100 MM scf/d.

PLASMA Perspective on British Columbias CO2
Leadership

• The National Academy of Sciences
• The scientific understanding of climate change
  is now sufficiently clear to justify nations
  taking prompt action.
• It is vital that all nations identify
  cost-effective steps that they can take now, to
  contribute to substantial and long-term reduction
  in net global greenhouse gas emissions.
• We were driven by a very basic concept as risk
  managers
• The risks of inaction outweigh the costs of
  action.
• The debate on CO2 emissions is over, there is
  work to be done
• British Columbias environmental leadership has
  ended our debate.
• We can now determine our Risk Adjusted Return on
  Capital
• By 2012, 30 / tonne of CO2 equivalent will
  energize investment.
