1. Post-Combustion CO 2 Capture using Solid Sorbents Sharon Sjostrom, Chief Technology Officer CREA Energy Innovations Summit, October 27, 2014 Carbon Capture: Around the Corner or Around the Bend?

2. Phase I: Concept Phase II: Pilot Testing (1 MW) Phase III: Demonstration (> 25 MW) Commercial Implementation Development Approach ► Begin with the end in mind ► Identify cost drivers ► Focus R&D and execute work schedule with commercialization goal in mind DE-FE0004343 © 2014 ADA-ES, Inc.

10. Is CO 2 Capture Around the Corner, or Around the Bend? ► Post-combustion controls must be included in any plan for significant CO 2 reductions ► Current regulatory landscape is slowing development Proposed GHG regulations for new plants and cost of gas in US restricts development Proposed regulations for existing plants do not present a clear commercial market for controls ► Will final regulations and oil prices support use of fossil-generated CO 2 ? © 2014 ADA-ES, Inc.
