## GE Energy ... a global technology business

**GE Energy ... a global technology business**

- Operating in more than 100 countries ... 125+ years
- 36,000 employees ...                            ~700 locations
- 2006 revenue $19B
- Investing in cleaner technologies
- $3B invested over last  5 years
- Growing annual investment to $1.5B by 2010

**Notes:**
From John Blowers - Oct 11, 2005

HC FW 40 = 33,922
HC Europe = 8,313

# offices = we have 700 locations in 466 cities (ie several offices in Houston)

Cheryl Cargill - Aug 25 2005
Take O&G out of the financials...from now on.  For now...we’ll still show the landscape including ‘sources’ (O&G)...as it’s part of the overall GE portfolio.

## Key Power Generation Requirements

- (COE)

- Affordable, secure, reliable & environmentally responsible

**Conversion**

**Fuels**

- Gas
- Oil
- Coal
- Nuclear
- Geothermal
- Biomass
- Hydro
- Wind
- Solar

- Efficiency

**Delivery**

- Reliability

**Key Power Generation Requirements**

- Emissions

**Notes:**
All power generation fuels have to meet the same customer requirements: Efficiency, reliability, lower emissions & competitive COE
Wind is not an exception
Wind will be held to the same standard as other fuel options

## European Energy Growth

**Ambitious Renewables targets**
** ****are being set **
- 2005 – 2015: Nearly 100 GW of incremental capacity will be built
- 64% in wind
- 21% in hydro
- 15% in other renewable energy
- EU Heads of State adopted 20% by 2020
- 180 GW Wind
- 35 GW Solar
- 54 GW biogas
- Germany – Reduce 1990 CO2 emissions by 40% by 2020
- Increase renewables from               14% to 27%
- Coal continues to play a role...CCS?

## Jenbacher Gas Engines

**Jenbacher Gas Engines**

**A leading manufacturer of g****as and ****renewables ****fueled reciprocating engines for power generation.**
-  Power range from 0.25MW to 3MW,   4 platforms / 10 products
-  Fuel flexibility: Natural gas or a variety of    renewable or alternative gases
-  Plant configurations: Generator sets,    cogeneration systems, container solutions
-  Installed base: more than 6,500 units / 7,400 MW

## IGCC ... the cleaner coal solution

** ****Advantages**

- Coal is 75% less expensive than natural gas.
- Gasification cleans the coal before it is burned, preventing pollution instead of cleaning up the pollution after it is produced.
- A Cleaner Coal option increases fuel diversity, reduces emissions, and increases siting and permitting flexibility.

**Idea**

- In *Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC)* plants, gasification converts low cost fuels, like coal, into a high value, natural-gas-like fuel called synthesis gas to fuel a combined cycle system.

**Pollution**
**Prevention**

## IGCC: emissions approaching natural gas

- Source: GE internal data, average of 30 permits granted, applications and publicly reported emissions

- Advanced PC/SCPC

- IGCC

- NGCC

- 0.00

- 0.05

-  30% less water
-  Carbon Capture Advantaged

-  33% less NOx
-  75% less SOx
-  40% less PM10

**IGCC Environmental Benefits Versus **
**Best in Class Supercritical Pulverized Coal**

## To meet its carbon reduction goals, Europe will install a portfolio of renewable and CCS technologies 

- GE is committed long term to imagine and build innovative cleaner energy technologies...**eco****magination**

**Biomass**

**Cleaner Coal**

**Notes:**
Starting with the Chairman himself, the whole company is committed  to wind & ecomagination
Our commitments include:
Doubling our ecomagination R&D spend from $700M to $1.5B by 2010
Increase our ecomagination revenues from $10B to $20B by 2010
Reduce our own greenhouse gas emissions by 30%
Make our customers true partners in this endeavour
