Gasification PortfolioThe HTW™ Gasifier



Gasification PortfolioThyssenKrupp Uhde acquires HTW™ Gasification Technology

• HTW™ goes back to 1926 (Winkler Gasification)

• HTW™ technology was previouslyowned by RWE/Rheinbraun

• ThyssenKrupp Uhde acquires theHTW™ technology with all IP rights and know-how from RWE in December 2010

• Main target: low-rank feedstocks, in particular: coals with high ashmelting points, brown coal, lignite, wastes
