GASIFICATION TECHNOLOGIES CONFERENCE 2013

CONCORD BLUE® BACKGROUND • Founded by its Chairman, Christopher Charlie

Thannhaeuser, in 2002 • CB is a privately held renewable energy technology

firm with approximately 200 employees including more than 60 engineers.

• Headquartered in Dusseldorf, Germany with offices in India, UAE and the USA (business development and project management)

• CB is the inventor, owner, engineer & licensor for the environmentally friendly Concord Blue Reformer® waste to energy technology

CONCORD BLUE® • The CBR® is a world-wide patented &

patent pending waste to energy process.

• The CBR® is an advanced steam

thermolysis technology using staged reforming.

• CB develops turn key waste-to-energy

solutions for private industries, municipalities, federal governments and energy project developers.

• CB sells integrated systems to third

parties and also participates in ownership and operations of selected projects

CONCORD BLUE® TECHNOLOGY PROCESS:

• Staged Reforming: 3 spatially separated vessels.

• Waste material is segregated & dried, usually with waste heat.

• Ceramic Beads used as the indirect heat carrier, flowing downward by gravity and returned to the top by a mechanical lift.

• Ceramic beads first flow to the gas phase steam reforming vessel, where the gas is purified & most tars are converted

• From there, the beads flow to the thermolyser, where waste material is decomposed to about 80% gas & 20% char.

• Char and ceramic beads are separated

• Char and/or syngas are then fully oxidized to provide heat to the ceramic beads

CONCORD BLUE® TECHNOLOGY

PROCESS:

• Ceramic heat carrier balls used to achieve a constant, thorough and equal heat transfer to the waste material.

• The flue gas from the

char/gas furnace is used to the heat carrier balls.

HOW IS CONCORD BLUE® DIFFERENT? • Modular, scalable with proven fuel flexibility • Air and oxygen-free process, assisted by

nitrogen purge system • Very low-tar raw syngas out of the gas

reformer • Fully automated system with adjustments to

the steam injection rate, circulating bead mass, bead circulation rate and zonal temperatures to treat different quality feedstocks or to “customize” syngas

• CBR® syngas, after cleaning, is suitable for direct combustion in syngas-certified reciprocating engines or as a feedstock for hydrogen purification or liquid fuels/chemicals production

• Lockheed Martin recently announced their agreement with Concord Blue USA, Inc., having chosen CB as their solid waste conversion technology of choice

• Lockheed Martin will provide CBR manufacturing and system integration

• Lockheed Martin will warrant delivery schedule and acceptance test parameters

• Lockheed Martin is CB’s preferred engineering, procurement and construction contractor for which they provide a full completion wrap for all deliverables agreed during acceptance.

• Lockheed Martin will offer the CB solution to its industrial and governmental customer base where appropriate

• Work with local partners, selected using strict criteria – Master License Agreement gives partner the right to undertake

multiple projects in a defined area, each such project required to secure a single site license

• CB makes system sales globally to interested/qualified customers

– Single site license for qualified projects

• CB does sometimes participate as a project owner – Public Private Partnerships (PPP) through competitive tenders – Equity investment in self-developed projects – Equity investment as a participating owner in a third party

developed project

Concord Blue’s® Global Market Approach

CONCLUSION • Concord Blue® is a privately-held renewable energy technology firm

delivering our environmentally friendly and highly flexible Concord Blue Reformer®.

• The Concord Blue Reformer® is a revolutionary waste to energy

thermolysis staged REFORMER – Multiple feedstock flexibility including municipal solid waste, industrial toxic

waste, sewage sludge, conventional woody biomass and others – Syngas characteristics can be altered through various operating parameters – End products include electricity, hydrogen, and/or liquid fuels/chemicals

• Concord Blue® is a global company with projects in Europe, Asia,

Africa, and North America, leveraging productive partnerships and alliances to expand our reach and improve our product offering.
