CENFUEL FPU LTD. www.CenFuelFPU.com CENfuel FPU Ltd. possesses the North American Marketing and Management rights of a well-tested and patented process for producing an ultra-clean coal derived fuel. The CENfuel™ process has undergone significant testing and refinement over the past 20 years including the construction of a one-tenth-scale production facility making the economics and performance of the CENfuel™ product highly predictable. The company is now working with power-plant developers and activated carbon producers to commercialize its product in North America. The company has formed an advisory board consisting of executives from the gas-turbine power plant, coal and aluminum industries. The company is currently wholly owned by CENfuel Pty Ltd, an Australian-based company. Differentiating factors - Economic: The capital cost of the CENfuel™ process for cleaning coal is one-half to one-third of the cost of post-combustion, pollution-control technologies. CENfuel FPU estimates its product can be sold for $2 to $3 per MMbtu, depending on the coal feedstock used, making it cost competitive with natural gas as a power-plant fuel. Efficiency: The CENfuel™ product is so clean that it may be a suitable fuel for more efficient combustion-turbine and combine-cycle power plant operation. This increased efficiency will lead to lower carbon dioxide emission when compared to other coal-combustion techniques. Stable price: Unlike natural gas, it is expected that the CENfuel™ product will be stable in price because it is produced from coal or coal waste, which historically has exhibited limited volatility in its prices. Saleable byproducts: The CENfuel™ process converts the impurities found in coal into marketable products such as high-grade alumina and silica. Predictable performance: The CENfuel™ process has undergone over 20 years of development and refinement, including the construction of a one-tenth scale facility with Hitachi Zosen. The process is low in temperature and pressure allowing for the use of inexpensive plant materials and greatly reducing the technical risks of scale-up operations. The CENfuel™ product has been successfully used by General Motors, Allison Division, in operating an experimental car based on gas-turbine technology. Brown Boveri (now ABB) affirms the possible use of this fuel in its combustion turbine. The process has been tested and proved to work on all lengths of coal from lignite to anthracite. Pre-combustion cleaning: The CENfuel™ process removes the impurities in raw coal such as ash, mercury and sulfur prior to combustion. The resulting CENfuel™ product is in compliance with current and anticipated future environmental regulations, greatly reducing the need for emission-control technology found in today’s coal plants. CLEAN ENERGY SYSTEMS, INC. Clean Energy Systems, Inc. (CES) has developed breakthrough zero emission electricity generation for the global power market.

The unique, modular construction of the Company’s core 50 kWh product enables ZBB’s battery to be sized and packaged as a fully customized, large format energy storage system. This scaleable, mobile system is ideally suited for a number of very large market applications, including: Storage of renewable wind and solar energy production in both grid connected and grid independent environments. Load management for generation, transmission and distribution utilities, energy service companies (“ESCOs”) and large commercial and industrial customers, allowing peak shaving and deferral of capital expenditures that otherwise would be required to alleviate utility system constraints; and Uninterruptible power supply (“UPS”) providing power quality protection from voltage, current or frequency deviations for both utilities and commercial and industrial customers.
