B9 Coal will employ a unique combination of keystone technologies; Linc Energy's underground coal gasification (UCG) and AFC Energy’s alkaline fuel cells to generate low-cost electricity with upwards of 90% carbon capture. This world-leading template has the potential to transform coal from the dirtiest fossil fuel to the cleanest.
10. B9 Coal A revolution in clean energy generation Surface Coal Gasification (SCG) AFC Energy’s Alkaline Fuel Cell System Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) Carbon Transport and Storage Gas Separation
11. Gasification Coal can be reacted at high temperatures with a controlled amount of oxygen to produce synthesis gas (syngas)
12. Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) Gasifying coal in situ carries additional commercial and environmental advantages
13. Gas Separation Syngas is cleaned of impurities and split into near pure streams of hydrogen and carbon dioxide
14. AFC Energy’s Alkaline Fuel Cell The most efficient way of producing electricity from hydrogen
15. Large Scale Energy Generation Using the hydrogen from syngas AFC Energy’s fuel cell system is the cheapest, cleanest and most flexible way to produce electricity from fossil fuels Confidential – B9 Coal
32. B9 Coal present… Clean Potential for upwards of 90% carbon capture Green Small footprint power plants: no turbines or other heavy infrastructure; AFC Energy’s fuel cells are made from lightweight recyclable materials and cartridges are refurbishable Efficient Alkaline fuel cells are the most efficient way of converting hydrogen to electricity; carbon capture as part of the process with no loss of efficiency Low cost Minimal infrastructure means low capital costs; AFC Energy’s fuel cells are cheap to manufacture; low running costs as fuel cell maintenance is simple Small footprint No turbines, minimal infrastructure Fully scalable Modular nature of the fuel cells means capacity can be increased to meet demand Load following Modular fuel cell system allows output to be increased or decreased with no loss in efficiency Reliable Alkaline Fuel Cells are 99.999% reliable as they are a solid state technology …a game-changing clean energy proposition

34. Initial construction will involve 800 MW combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) facility optimised for 'syngas' conversion and operation
35. Powerfuel to convert CCGT plant into 900 MW IGCC power station fuelled by extensive coal resources at Hatfield colliery
36. The syngas can be used to produce hydrogen as a feedstock for 330 MW of alkaline fuel cells power generation…300MW installation alongside IGCC plant
37. B9 Coal… B9 Coal’slow cost, flexible, clean energy proposition will revolutionise the way we produce electricity, providing an essential step in the move to a low carbonfuture and acting as a global template for clean energy generation. …the future of clean energy
