energy company vision
DESCRIPTION
Example of a PowerPoint Presentation I did for a local energy company.TRANSCRIPT
Laurus Energy, Inc.
To build one of the largest and
most profitable energy companies in
North America
Our Vision
The importation of high cost oil is threatening North America‟s economy
and is the cause of dependence of volatile oil producing nations
Despite a great deal of rhetoric, no meaningful or economical way to
clean the air has been discovered
Huge government subsidies towards renewables and bio technologies has
no chance of making even a dent in either of these problems facing North
America
The cheap energy we have relied on for decades...traditional coal is
being phased out and is not permittable....with no substitute in place
✽ What is the current state of play?
o With such low production cost, subsequent products are much less expensive
than all other alternatives
o Gas created using this technology, when burned in power plants or turned into
products traditionally made with oil, will create fewer emissions than even
natural gas
o North America is the largest energy market in the world and sits on an enormous,
indigenous coal resource that the incumbent industry cannot access
o Laurus has the technology that will unlock this resource at a fraction of the cost of
current prices of oil, gas and “clean” coal
✽ The Solution
✽ An Abundant Resource
Over 2 trillion tonnes of unmineable coal in North America (6.6 Trillion BOE) 400 years of total US energy consumption (liquid, gas,
nuclear, etc.)
Without this technology the coal has no economic use Easy and inexpensive to acquire
Reserves are important for energy company valuations
North America is the largest energy market in the world and sits on an enormous,
indigenous coal resource that the incumbent industry cannot access

*A Wealth of MarketsWith such low production cost, subsequent products are much
less expensive than all other alternatives
Extracting the benefits of
abundant coal, minimizing
environmental impacts
Emissions substantially reduced
over any existing coal
technologies
Cleaner or comparable to
natural gas emissions
CO2 removal cheaper, more
efficient, and ideal for
Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR)
Power Plant Emissions Comparison
Gas created using this technology, when burned in power plants or turned
into products traditionally made with oil, will create fewer emissions than
even natural gas
*Low Emissions
Underground coal gasification
(UCG) is a process that generates
a low btu gas called syngas
Syngas is not „synthetic gas‟ or
„synthetic natural gas‟
Syngas is comprised mainly of
hydrogen (H2), carbon monoxide
(CO), methane (CH4), carbon
dioxide (CO2), and nitrogen (N2).
It is produced from coal that is
unusable by any other known
technology
✽ Underground Coal Gasification
Stranded Markets
• Natural gas supply is insufficient for
o Power generation
o Retail distribution
• Ammonia / Urea Market
o Idle fertilizer facility – 25-55 BCF per year
• LNG for Export
o LNG terminal 50% idle – 75 BCF per year
• Native Alaskan partner – owner of
coal, project participant
• Next steps
o Finalize site selection
o Commence site characterization
o Arrange for off-takers
o Permitting
✽ Solving Alaska‟s Natural Gas Crisis
✽Alberta:
Showcase for εUCG in North America
✽ Laurus leases over 2.2 Billion metric tons of coal in Alberta
✽ Permits have been received tor calibration burn
✽ Calibration burn can commence within six months
✽ Supportive local stakeholders
• Letters of support from county, resident organization, and
environmentalists
✽ Next Steps
• Calibration burn Q1 2012 – Q4 2012
• Establish off-take agreements
• Evaluate partnering opportunities
✽Financial
Impacts
[Content TBD – Need to decide on scope of
projects for AB and AK and how many others
at what size and terms and timing]
[Format: Show cash flow build up?]
[Show timeline?]
Sources: Reserve quantities from companies‟ annual filings; Enterprise Value from Finance.Yahoo.com
* Laurus volumes have not been evaluated under the test of proved reserves at this time; they are based on a conversion of
estimated coal volumes under lease

Acquire coal now
Focus on breakthrough projects
Create the workforce to execute
Permitting and acceptance … through education and
involvement with regulators, community and environmentalists
Gain wholesale acceptance of the technical, industrial
and financial communities
✽ Path forward
