BUSH POWER GROUP LLC The Woodlands, Texas Presentation to Revision 5
Bush Power Group LLC Proposal: Form a Mutually Beneficial Cooperative Agreement with City of Huntsville to develop and build a Plasma Gasification Plant In this proposal Bush Power Group LLC would: • Develop, engineer, oversee construction of Gasification Plant • Aggregate and sort municipal solid wastes (MSW) and green waste • Prepare wastes for conversion • Convert MSW into synthetic diesel and electric power • Provide synthetic diesel at reduced cost to City, Local Farmers and Ranchers, County and State Agencies Revision 5
Proposal Obligations City of Huntsville provides: • Memorandum of Understanding • MSW, sewage sludge, used tires, green waste delivery • Space on the existing Landfill Project Site • Infrastructure support (scales, access roads, others) Bush Power Group provides: • 100% Private Financing for Project • Engineering, Procurement & Construction • Project Management • Operation, Maintenance & Repair • Shared Savings Revision 5
WHO IS BUSH POWER GROUP? www.bushpowergroup.com Bush Power Group LLC, of The Woodlands, Texas, a Texas Limited Liability Company, will be the overall Project Developer & Manager responsible for the power plant design and integration of the power and utilities to each of the major plant components. BPG principals have more than 100 years of domestic & international combined experience in the design, construction, testing, operation and maintenance expertise in world class sized simple cycle, combined cycle, and cogeneration plants. Revision 5
What is Gasification? Gasification is a process using an electric arc (plasma) at very high temperatures (± 10,000 ⁰F) to convert organic compounds to synthetic gas composed of Hydrogen and Carbon Monoxide. Syngas can be used to generate electricity, create synthetic diesel (FT diesel) and a variety of other marketable FT fluids. Gasification adds value to low or negative value waste fuels by converting them to marketable fuels and products. Revision 5
Wastes That Can Be Gasified • Household and Commercial Garbage • Plant materials (Trees, Grass, Wood Products) • Paint, Liquid Waste, Etc. • Tires • NiCad, Lithium, Lead Acid Batteries • Used Motor Oil, Oil Filters • Household Hazardous Waste • Items Containing Cfc's • Fluorescent Light Bulbs Revision 5
BENEFITS OF GASIFICATION • Fuel Flexibility • A very wide range of fuels can be used • Product Flexibility • -Syngas can be used to produce a multitude of high value products from low value fuels • Environmental Superiority • -Pollutants can be economically controlled to very low levels (NOx, SOx, Mercury, Lead) • -High efficiency/ Low CO₂ production • -Creates Green Energy credits Revision 5
Plasma Gasification – A Superior Technology • Not burning; Not an incinerator or boiler • No emissions from gasifier • Reduced air & liquid emissions from facility • Best available technology for destroying hazardous materials per EPA • No ash is produced • Recoverable metals and vitrified slag available for sale Revision 5
GASIFIER BYPRODUCT- VITRIFIED SLAG • Hard glass like, non toxic, non leaching byproduct • NOT Regulated as a hazardous byproduct by EPA or TCEQ Revision 5
GASIFICATION IS CLEAN POWER • Uses 100% proven technology • By-products are saleable assets: metals, slag, Syngas, potable water, steam, power, FT liquids, etc. • Syngas created from any combination of municipal solid waste (MSW), coal, pet coke, biomass, car fluff, oily wastes, tires, etc. • Creates Green Energy Credits • An economically feasible, environmentally compliant, technically proven solution Revision 5
SAVINGS POTENTIAL • Pay Plasma Power Partners LLC $60 per ton tipping fee • City of Huntsville receives rent for plant site of $30 per ton • 120 tons/day plant consumption = $3,600 per day rent • $936,000 per year rent. • Purchase diesel fuel for City of Huntsville at reduced cost OR • Current Situation: • Continue to collect and haul MSW @ $60 per ton • Continue to increase cost to taxpayers over time Revision 5
City of Huntsville Gasification Project Summary and Benefits • $936,000 per year revenue to City of Huntsville for Project land rent • Provide ultra low sulfur diesel to City at reduced cost for further cost savings • Provide jobs and High Tech workforce • Provide research opportunities with area Universities • Attract new business and industry to Huntsville and surrounding area • Generate Green Energy Credits and Air Quality Emissions Credits • Attract International attention to City for it’s Green Energy Initiative Revision 5
