CHEAPER CLEANER AND SAFER ENERGY FROM COAL

BACKGROUND INFORMATION DOCUMENT

SYNGAS – a substantial, long-term, locally sourced, competitively priced alternative energy produced from In-Situ Gasification (ISG*) of deep un mineable coal requiring NO FRACKING and posing NO THREAT to rural properties or aquifers.

Synthesis gas or ‘syngas’ results from the in-situ gasification of coal. Hydrogen (H2), carbon monoxide (CO) and methane (CH4) are the combustible gases in syngas. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is generated independent of the oxidant used - air or oxygen. If air is used nitrogen (N2) is present in the syngas.

Syngas can be used to co-fuelled existing coal-fuelled boilers, provide fuel for high-efficiency combined cycle gas turbines (CCGT) power plants, heat for alumina smelters, cememt and brick works, and as the feedstock for methanol, chemical, fertiliser and gas-to-liquids plants.

Gasification of deep (>850 metres) un-minable coal allows countries like Australia, UK and Japan to exploit their up to now stranded extensive deep coal resources to deliver long-term energy market security for industrial and domestic consumers by providing syngas at energy prices competitively with coal and much more competitive than natural gas.

The ISG (or UCG) process produces depleted empty chambers deep underground (>850 metres) potentially suitable to store liquid CO2 and provide a carbon capture and storage (CCS) capability ensuring energy from syngas is cleaner than coal-fired power stations and cleaner than natural gas depending on the CO2 content of the raw natural gas.

Syngas Power Pty Limited (SPPL) is developing syngas delivery projects in the Hunter Valley of NSW, in the Collie Region of WA, Australia, in The North of the UK and investigating similar projects in Japan and China.

Syngas Power Pty Limited’s (SPPL) opportunity is to commercialise thedeliver of ISG syngas to:

• co-fuel commercial quantities of syngas with existing coal-fuelled boilers in power stations• fuel high-efficiency, low CAPEX, low OPEX, low CO2 emitting combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power

plants• produce synthetic natural gas (SNG) for delivery into natural gas pipeline networks• provide a commercial source of CO2 for food-proteins & liquid fuel production, enhanced oil recovery and

carbon capture and storage (CCS)

Opportunity

Syngas Power Pty Ltd’s (SPPL) vision is to deliver an alternative, price competitive and cleaner energy from coal.

Potential to develop syngas delivery projects wherever:

• Deep coal resources are not mineable by traditional underground or open-cut coal mining methods• Large existing local energy markets exist - for example coal-fuelled power stations• A competing energy delivery environment is under a regime of international export coal or LNG prices• A value for CO2 can be realized by sale or tax,

or alternatively

• There is a current or looming energy security issue

SPPL’s first syngas delivery projects are focused on:

• Lowest financial and technology risk• Lowest CAPEX• Co-fuelling local coal-fuelled power station boilers• Small capacity 10-30 mega watts (MW) manageable low risk project steps• Expanding to larger energy projects providing approx 150 MW per individual coal-fuelled boiler• Then jump to approx. 600MW per coal fuelled power station• Expanding to multiple power stations - a huge existing market• Potential for financially, technically and logistically viable CO2 capture, use and or storage (CCS)

What is ISG Syngas and How is it Produced?

What is the ISG syngas producing process?: • Un-minable deep coal is gasified in-situ, producing a synthesis gas (syngas)• Combustible gas components are hydrogen (H2), methane (CH4 )and carbon monoxide (CO)• Carbon dioxide (CO2) is always produced during the process• Small amount of hydrocarbon condensate (mostly C2H4 ethylene and C2H6 ethane) are produced• If oxidant is air, nitrogen (N2) is present• Some sulphur oxides (SOXs) and nitrious oxides (NOXs) are also produced

Fully Tested - ISG (or UCG) history around the World• 50 year history of proven continuous operation co-fuelling power stations in the former USSR• Angren power station in Uzbekistan has been continually operating for 50 years up until today• Numerous recent demonstration plants operating to western environmental regulations and control

standards; including

i) Swan Hills – Alberta, Canadaii) Solid Energy – Huntly, New Zealandiii) Linc Energy & Carbon Energy – QLD, Australiaiv) Eskom - South Africa

High pressure and high concentration of CO2 (>20%) in the wellheadsyngas means CO2 can be:• Economically separated from the syngas using existing commercially operating technology• Economically compressed for carbon sequestration and long term safe storage deep underground• Economically compressed to be suitable for transport by CO2 pipelines

Syngas production provides a potential for CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS)• A large empty chamber is created deep underground• Hundreds of metres of overburden has trapped methane naturally for eons• Where substantial amounts of CO2 can be safely stored indefinitely

Syngas production provides a potential for CO2 for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR)• Where there is CO2 pipeline infrastructure delivering CO2 to existing EOR operations• Potential CO2 demand from suitable oil and gas reservoirs

Syngas provides a source of CO2 for Algae to Produce Animal Food-Protiens• Where a syngas plant is close to agricultural land and a seawater source (The North UK - see page 9)• Where CO2 can be delivered to scaleable, closed and controlled algae for the efficient production of

protien for animal food or feedstock for down-stream biofuel processing

• Energy is liberated from in-situ coal eliminating the need to mine, stack and move coal• Reduced operating & maintenance costs compared with pulverized coal• Reduced operating & maintenance costs of boiler ash handling, removal and safe long-term storage• NO chemically dangerous boiler ash to be filtered, transported and stored• NO THREAT to agricultural land - operations sited over mined-out coal mines• NO scarring of landscapes from open-cut mines (eg. lower Hunter Valley, NSW)• NO fugitive methane emissions as a result of open-cut or underground coal mining• NO FRACKING• Very few gas bore-holes compared with a coal seam gas operation• NO thousands of kilometres of connecting gas and water pipelines criss-crossing rural lands• NO saline or chemically contaminated water brought to the surface• NO millions of tonnes of crystalised solid salt to be separated and then stored safely indefinitely• LOWEST physical surface footprint of all energy sources - including renewables

Why is ISG Syngas the SAFEST way to Generate Energy from Coal?• NO miners work underground• Thousands of coal miners killed in coal mines around the world every year• NO coal dust to be suppressed• Coal dust is prime cause of pneumoconiosis or “black lung disease” which kills tens of thousands of

coal-miners around the world every year• Syngas is produced deep underground preferably below 850 metres• Many hundreds of metres below existing coal mines• Dramatically decreased risks of damaging shallow (above 200 metres) aquifers• Subsidence is possible though unlikely• No connection to shallow (~200 metres) aquifers used for human or agricultural use• Chemical reactions - pyrolysis, reduction and oxidation - gasifies the coal• The syngas gasifier chamber pressure is set at approximately 15% below the natural hydrostatic

pressure• The movement of any contaminated water or chemicals is back into the gasifier chamber

Why is ISG Syngas the most Environmentally Friendlyand Sustainable Way to Generate Energy from Coal?

ISG SYNGAS Production Process – How it Works

• The syngas production process involves drilling three wells into the coal seam, one used to provide heat to start gasification, one for injection of the oxidants (water/air or water/oxygen mixtures) and one to deliver the produced syngas to the surface. For these later two wells, once the coal seam has been interestected, each well is horizontally drilled along the coal seam for many hundreds of metres

• As a result of the pressure, temperature and careful regulation of the oxidant flow, the in-situ coal undergoes destructive distillation or pyrolysis, reduction and oxidation reactions to produce syngas – a similar process that produced ‘town gas’ used to light the streets in US, UK and Australian cities before the advent of natural gas and electricity. The then Australian Gas Light Company, now AGL Energy, was the Sydney town gas supplier from 1841 to 1976.
