3 Coal will persist as a dominant fuel for power generation well into this century MHI has commercialized an advanced post combustion CO 2 capture technology process MHI has an expanding list of commercial deliveries mainly in the fertilizer production industry MHI has conducted demonstration testing of CO 2 capture from coal fired boilers Government support is needed to encourage large scale CCS deployment – how? 1. Introduction
4 Concept of Flue Gas CO 2 Recovery, Sequestration and EOR 1. Concept of Post Combustion CO 2 Capture Source: IPCC Fertilizer Production in India
5 ① Is applicable for the current, global PC fleet ② Offers high degree of flexibility – is adaptable and cost competitive with other technologies ③ Operation at atmospheric pressure – safe and does not require exotic materials ④ Produces highly purified CO 2 – important environmental consideration for transport and disposal ⑤ Easy to transfer post combustion technology to developing countries – simple process and configuration ⑥ Allows for future zero emission use of coal Advantages of Post Combustion CO 2 Capture 1.

7 Example of a Commercial Project in India Client:Indian Farmers Fertilizer Co. Solvent:KS-1 Solvent Capacity:450 T/D x 2 units Feed Gas:Natural Gas and Naphtha Reformer Flue Gas Use of CO 2 :Urea Production Start-up:2006 CO 2 is recovered from steam reformer flue gases. CO 2 is compressed and then used for urea synthesis. Includes a Deep FGD caustic soda wash in the quencher to remove SOx Flue gas is cooled and then SOx is removed before entering the CO 2 absorber. 2. MHI’s Experience Process Description Plant Outline
8 Coal Fired Long Term Demonstration Plant Solvent : KS-1 Capacity : 10 T/D Feed Gas: Coal Fired Boiler (14.1 v% CO 2 ) Start-up: July 2006 Location: Nagasaki, Japan Increased understanding of the effects of impurities on the system (dust, SOx, NOx, etc.) Identifying and incorporating countermeasures for each impurity >4,000 hours of operation and experience Test results exceeded expectations and will facilitate scale up CO 2 capture for coal fired boilers Confirms that the MHI CO 2 capture process can be applied to coal fired flue gas streams 2.

12 Power Plant / Industrial Source CO 2 Capture CO 2 Compression Dehydration CO 2 Transport CO 2 Injection EOR etc CO 2 Credit Generation Long term Monitoring Projects The supply chain for a complete CCS project is complex Requires integration of a number of industry segments A carbon price creates incentives to drive CCS project execution Regulatory framework is in the pipeline MHI Scope Single Contractor Flue gas pre-treatment 5. MHI’s Scope in a CCS Project The CO2 Supply Chain
13 A)Funding for CCS demonstration projects – to reduce risk B)Establish regulatory certainty – do not delay further C)Create tax credits/subsidies for downstream application of anthropogenic CO 2 (act as an initial industry driver) D)Legislate to include CCS within emission trading schemes to ensure there are ‘rewards’ for industrial CCS projects E)Establishing a carbon price will create additional incentives for CCS deployment – contribute toward project finance Governments must create incentives which will encourage industry investment and widespread CCS – How? 6. Path Forward – Government Incentives for CCS
