Pristine CTL Fuels from Alaska Alaska Best Location for a CTL Plant in US

•FIGURE 1 (below ) SHOWS A GENERAL OVERVIEW OF THE COOK INLET AND THE LOCATION OF THE PROPOSED CTL PLANT AND THE BELUGA COAL FIELD.

•THE MAJORITY OF THE OIL AND GAS PRODUCTION IN THE COOK INLET OCCURES ON THE WEST SIDE THUS THE MAJORITY OF THE OIL AND GAS RESERVOIRS ARE LOCATED OR PRODUCED FROM THE WEST SIDE

•AFTER 40 YEARS OF PRODUCTION THE COOK INLET IS RUNNING OUT OF OIL AND NATURAL GAS – THUS THE MAJORITY OF THE DEPLETED OIL AND GAS FIELDS ARE LOCATED WITHIN 5 TO 12 MILES OF THE PROPOSED CTL SITE

•ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS IN SITING A CTL PLANT IS WHERE CAN YOU SEQUESTOR CO2?

–THE BELUGA CTL SITE IS WITHIN MILES OF TRILLIONS OF CUBIC FEET OF DEPLETED GAS FIELDS AND POSSIBLY A BILLION BARRELS OF DEPLETED OIL FIELDS – GUARANTEED LONG TERM STORAGE SITES FOR CO2 SEQUESTORING

–THE DOE COMPLETED A STUDY SHOWING THAT THE TWO LARGEST REMAINING OIL FIELDS IN THE COOK INLET, BOTH PRODUCED FROM THE WEST SIDE ARE CANDIATED FOR ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY THROUGH THE USE OF CO2.

–POSSIBLY AS MUCH AS 400 MILLION ADDITIONAL BARRELS OF CRUDE OIL COULD BE RECOVERED WITH THE USE OF PURE CO2

•UNLIMITED COOLING WATER IS ANOTHER MAJOR CONSIDERATION IN SITING A CTL PLANT

–THE VERY COLD WATERS OF THE COOK INLET WILL IMPROVE PROCESS EFFICIENCIES – WATER IS NOT AN ISSUE AT THIS LOCATION

•UTILIZATION OF THE WASTE HEAT FROM THE EXOTHERMIC F-T PROCESS TO GENERATE “CLEAN” ELECTRIC POWER IS ANOTHER IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION AS IT IMPROVES OVERALL THERMAL EFFICIENCY

–LOCATED WITHIN 12 MILES OF THE PROPOSED CTL SITE IS AN AGEING 380 MEGA WATT POWER STATION SLATED TO BE REPLACED WITHIN THE NEXT 6 TO 8 YEARS.

•THE BELUGA CTL PLANT CAN SUPPLY THIS REPLACEMENT LOAD WITH LITTLE TO NO CO2 EMISSIONS GENERATED.

•THE BELUGA CTL PLANT CAN SUPPLY THE CITY OF ANCHORAGE AND APPROXIMATELY 75% OF ALASKA’S RESIDENTS WITH ADDITIONAL CLEAN WASTE HEAT BASE LOAD POWER

•ALASKA CAN BUILD GREENHOUSES TO GROW FRUITS AND VEGITABLES WITH WASTE HEAT AND CO2 ELIMINATING COSTLY TRANSPORTATION FROM THE LOWER 48

•EXPORT OF THE ULTRA CLEAN F-T FUELS IS POSSIBLE THROUGH THE EXISTING DRIFT RIVER TERMINAL LOCATED 30 MILES TO THE WEST OF THE PROPOSED BELUGA CTL PLANT

•THIS ALLOWS DIRECT TANKER DELIVERY TO THE ENTIRE PACIFIC RIM SO THAT U.S. MILITARY AND WEST COAST MARKETS CAN BE SERVED

•THE U.S. WEST COAST IS THE ONLY MARKET IN THE WORLD THAT VALUES LOW AROMATIC FUELS – F-T FUELS HAVE ZERO AROMATICS – AROMATICS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE “SMOKE” YOU SEE FROM DIESEL AND THE SMELL

•CALIFORNIA’S DIESEL MARKET IS THE HIGHEST VALUE TRANSPORTATION FUEL MARKET IN THE WORLD BECAUSE IT DEMANDS MUCH CLEANER – LOW AROMATIC FUELS.

–THE 5¢ TO 10¢ PER GALLON PREMIUM ADDS AS MUCH AS $100 MILLION PER YEAR IN REVENUE TO THE ALASKA LOCATION TO OFFSET THE HIGHER COSTS OF OPERATION IN ALASKA
