Coal is the most abundant and readily available fuel source…. but it is dirty

Burning of fossil fuel is the major source of greenhouse gas and sulfur emissions

But coal is one of the most inexpensive and abundantly available fuel sources for power generation

Though desirable, major economies in the world will be unable to eliminate coal in the foreseeable future

Coal is vital to energy independence

The United States, former USSR, China and India are endowed with large-deposits of low-grade coal

Coal is among few sources of energy which is found close to the consumers

Substitution of imported for domestic coal offers significant foreign exchange savings

Reducing Pollutants is the key to coal’s survival as a viable fuel source

Environmental costs have a huge impact on economics of global energy industry

Post-combustion scrubbing of pollutants requires large capital expenditure and reduces salable energy

Expensive primary fuel is a major risk for low-income countries

CCTI is ideally positioned to address today’s need for affordable, cleaner fuel

Cleaner Fuels, The Challenge for Our Generation

Page 8: March 2011 Presentation

“Pristine” Promise

CLEAN COAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.AAA

Economic Challenges in the Industry

As environmental standards become more strict, unprocessed coal loses value in the ground Conventional washing methods are ineffective & create their own environmental problems

Post-combustion clean air solutions such as scrubbers are very expensive and not affordable to cash poor utilities, especially in Emerging Markets

CCTI’s pre-combustion technology costs a fraction of existing post combustion solutions

Unprocessed coal can be prohibitively expensive to transport

Has as much as 45% more weight due to moisture and contaminants

Creates waste disposal issues for the end user

Coal imports are an impediment to economic growth and energy security

Coal imports consume foreign exchange, impact jobs and local economies

Dependence on fuel imports are undesirable from standpoint of national security

CCTI’s process is not only an energy “bridge”; it is a compelling profit opportunity

May eliminate the need for expensive emissions scrubbers

Price differential between processed and unprocessed coal is large, and growing; creates arbitrage opportunity

Byproducts are an important component of economic benefits and a major differentiator from competitors

Sponsor investment payback in under 3 years; 3-year ROI over 50%

Understanding Coal Upgrade Technologies

An ideal “clean coal” would eliminate emission of contaminants such as sulfur, mercury, nitrous oxide, ash and emissions of GHG.

It would be free of moisture and, therefore, a high-energy fuel source

The Reality:

Existing upgrade technologies address only some of these requirements. No single technology addresses all of them. Reduction of Co2 remains a challenge for all of them.

However, conventional “washing” techniques create environmental problems of their own

Newer technologies are designed to upgrade low-ranking coal:

Remove high levels of moisture that otherwise renders the coal uneconomic to exploit and transport

Some companies state that their processes reduce Co2 emissions, but this claim is somewhat misleading

Some technologies also remove volatile matter, made up of contaminants and hydrocarbons Removal of sulfur and mercury may eliminate the need for expensive post-combustion emissions scrubbers

Some technologies are able to recover chemical byproducts and commercialize them to supplement revenues

Understanding Coal Upgrade Technologies- cont.

Technology differentiators:

1. Technologies dedicated to coal gasification:

Complete conversion of coal to a synthetic gas (syngas) Consists of hydrogen and carbon monoxide –converted to chemicals and fuel

2. Technologies, such as CCTI’s, “mild gasification”, come in two varieties:

Remove moisture only Remove moisture and volatile material

3. Technologies that remove both moisture and volatile material, also come in two varieties:

Technologies that capture volatiles as byproducts to supplement revenues Technologies that do not capture and commercialize the volatile materials

CCTI’s technology, category 3A, is a unique pre-combustion process that removes moisture and volatile matter while monetizing the latter.

Pristine™ is a unique, cleaner coal; the CCTI process is best of breed.

CLEAN COAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.AAA

Differentiators of Commercial ProcessesThe commercial processes available today need to be differentiated in terms of their economics, focusing on process efficiency and cost.

Data to compare relative costs is proprietary. However, the cost drivers are readily identifiable and include the following:

1. External fuel source. A process that re-circulates light volatile matter for process heat is likely to be far more economical than one that relies on an external fuel source, particularly in the moisture removal phase.

2. Does the process operate at ambient, or at high pressure? High pressure systems are complex, less reliable and more costly to install and operate than those that operate at ambient pressure.

3. Is it a batch or a continuous process? As a rule, continuous processes are more stable, require less maintenance, and processing times are shorter.

4. Is the feed coal pulverized? Pulverization is expensive and powdered coal is like dynamite which cannot be transported safely. In most cases, the coal has to be briquetted for transport. This is another cost of the process and briquetting introduces problems of its own.

5. Are byproducts captured and commercialized? The revenue stream from coal liquids can be very significant. The CDLs can be very similar to sweet crude oil and, potentially, more valuable than the coal itself.

6. Is the plant design efficient and reliable? The concern is that some plants are designed around complex, unproven components whose performance over time is not known.

Differentiators of Process Technologies – Cont.

7. Does the plant design incorporate new, as yet not proven components?

8. Is there a verifiable track record of successful deployment? Problems such as explosions caused by dangerous components or unstable processed coal, have been documented.

9. Can the plant be located at mine head where it is possible to reap significant transportation economies?

10. Is the “entry level” plant an affordable capital expenditure? Are expansions costly?

CCTI Process – Best of Breed

12

CTTI is one of four companies whose process captures coal gases for process heat. The three other

companies do not appear to be active.

Coal is not pulverized, but retains the physical properties of the feed coal. Pulverized coal is unstable

and subject to spontaneous combustion.

Owing to risk of spontaneous combustion, some processes are best located at the power plant, rather

than at the mine head. Sacrifice of economies as “wet” vs. dry coal is shipped from the mine.

The CCTI process naturally coats the upgraded coal making it highly resistant to moisture re-

absorption and spontaneous combustion.

Saves the cost of briquetting. In practice, briquetting has been found to be problematic owing to

breakage and some pulverization, and moisture re-absorption.

CCTI is one of three competitors that claim to produce salable byproducts. The other two companies

are inactive.

Indications are that the CCTI process offers the lowest cost/ton to upgrade coal.

CLEAN COAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC.AAA

Why the CCTI Process Technology? CCTI technology has significant application in emerging as well as developed economies

Upgrades lignite/sub-bituminous coal abundant in India, China & USA, making them economically viable Upgrades metallurgical coal through extraction of undesirable volatiles

Significant price arbitrage opportunities irrespective of coal type Price arbitrage of $40 to $60/MT with processing cost of under $8/Ton Arbitrage likely to increase over time as contaminants become regulated (and priced)

Bespoke process can be tailored for specific end markets and input coals End-user defined levels of moisture and volatiles

CCTI modular plant design is highly advantageous (single module 160K/tons/annum) Facilitates plant scale-up without re-engineering of plant Minimizes maintenance downtime Plant malfunction is localized to a single module, not whole plant Easier to expand without creating excess capacity, 160K ton increments Affordable modules permit piecemeal expansion

SAIC/SEE&I, world-class EPC partner, supports technology & guarantees mechanical performance Production module design is based entirely on proven, “off the shelf” components

Process Highlights

Coal is heated gradually in an inert, oxygen-deprived atmosphere

Uses a set of multi-stage (two to four) heating chambers

Residence times and gas mixtures are controlled and optimized through sophisticated, proprietary software

Optimum blend of gases at atmospheric pressure and are-circulated to each zone

Volatile matter and gaseous pollutants emanating from coal are extracted

External, independent gas separators remove pollutants from the gas streams

Cooled and stabilized in a separate cooling zone under controlled gaseous mix

Light volatile matter is used as a fuel source for process heat Excess heat can be used for co-gen plant for electricity

Heavy volatile matter condense and seal the surface of the coal Unlike competing processes, CCTI’s process limits the ability of the coal to re-absorb moisture or combust

spontaneously

Valuable hydrocarbon gases are condensed into liquids (CDLs) and captured separately
