Presentation Summary

• Energy efficiency gains stalled in 1960
• Recycling waste energy can reduce US CO2 by 10 to
  20 and save 70 billion per year
• The provisions in the House Energy Bill would
  spur energy recycling
• The Ask How can our companies help these
  provisions become law?

The Last Seven Presidents Pledged Energy
Independence

• But energy imports rose during every
  administration
• Conventional Approaches Have Not Worked

Local Generation with Energy Recycling

• Reduces power costs, greenhouse gas emissions and
  fossil fuel use
• Avoids transmission capital and line losses
• Helps host industry with lower steam costs and/or
  new revenue from sale of waste energy makes
  host more competitive

Estimated U.S. Potential to Recycle Waste Energy
( Million MWh per Year)

• 2005 fossil electric generation 2,633
• Waste Energy Recycling potential
• From Industrial waste energy 450
• From new CHP plants 900
• Total Energy Recycling potential 1,350
• of US fossil central generation
  51
• Drop total U.S. CO2 emissions 10 to 20
• Societal savings per year in billions 70

Companies at this Breakfast Specialize in
Recycling Waste Energy

• We create useful energy by recycling
• Exhaust heat from any industrial process or power
  generation
• Industrial tail gas that would otherwise be
  flared, incinerated or vented,
• Pressure drop in any gas
• We develop new local combined heat and power
  plants (CHP) that recycle byproduct heat to
  displace boiler fuel of thermal users

A Convenient TruthEnergy Recycling Can
Profitably Reduce CO2

• US can reduce CO2 emissions by 10 to 20 and
  save 70 billion per year recycling waste energy
  with proven technology
• Congress can induce Energy Recycling
• Share societal savings
• Removing barriers to local generation
• House Energy Bill 3221, Subtitles E and G would
  achieve these goals
• How can we help Energy Recycling provisions
  become law?
