| • | The Texas Clean Energy Project (TCEP): Now in development, TCEP will be a state-of-the-art coal gasification project with ninety percent (90%) carbon capture and sequestration, the highest in the world. The project uses Siemens gasifiers, power generators, and controls, with the design engineering and managed EPC contractor efforts led by Fluor. Carbon management will be by Blue Source, LLC, with monitoring, verification, and accounting (MVA) for carbon dioxide by the Texas Bureau of Economic Geology at the University of Texas. The project is supported by H.B. 469, special Texas legislation to promote carbon capture and low emissions enacted in 2009. On December 4, 2009, U.S. Secretary of Energy Stephen Chu announced a $350 million award to TCEP to help speed the project’s successful completion and the commencement of world-leading carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) at the TCEP site. See TCEP’s website, www.texascleanenergyproject.com. |
|
|
| • | Summit is also developing other IGCC projects using the same Siemens gasifiers and state-of-the-art combined cycle power generation equipment as for the Texas Clean Energy Project. These projects will greatly reduce mercury and sulfur emissions, as well as water usage, and like TCEP will capture unprecedented percentages of their carbon dioxide, resulting in lower greenhouse gas emissions. The captured carbon dioxide will be used for climate-monitored enhanced oil recovery and other geological carbon sequestration. |
|
|
| • | As a leader in innovative technology projects, Summit has also agreed to develop surface facilities, including power plants, for ultra-clean underground coal gasification (UCG) projects in the U.S. and abroad. This UCG technology can provide additional carbon capture and reduce overall plant emissions. |
| • | Summit is also assisting in the pre-commercial development and subsequent commercial roll-out of new technologies for capturing carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere, as well as a variety of other new clean energy technologies. |
