»E.ON Energie AG

ξ Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. and E.ON Energie AG jointly to test technology for recovering carbon dioxide (CO2) from flue-gas emissions from a coal-fired power generation plant in Germany.
ξ The CO2 recovery test plant to be added to E.ON Energie's existing plant will adopt MHI's technology
ξ for absorbing and desorbing CO2 from flue gas using its proprietary KS-1 solvent, and
ξ will be capable of capturing 100 metric tons of CO2 per day (flue-gas flow rate: 20,000 cubic meters per hour).
ξ The recovery plant operation will commence early in 2010.
ξ The various tests to be conducted at the plant will focus mainly on further reducing the amount of energy
ξ consumed to complete the CO2 recovery process

Coal
ξ is today’s most abundant fossil fuel in terms of reserves
ξ when combusted it emits more CO2, a greenhouse gas, than natural gas or oil
ξ through the verification program in Germany, MHI and E.ON Energie aim to establish effective technology
ξ for recovering CO2 from coal-fired power plants, as a way of contributing significantly to the prevention of global warming

E.ON Energie
ξ headquartered in Munich
ξ is Europe's largest privately owned provider of energy services
ξ an affiliate of Düsseldorf-based E.ON AG. E.ON Energie generates over 270 billion kWh of electricity per year
ξ provides electricity, gas and overall energy services to some 17 million customers in central Europe
ξ The company has been studying the feasibility of establishing and launching an efficient CO2 recovery technology for coal-fired power generation plants as a global warming preventive measure.

MHI's CO2 recovery technology
ξ is considerably lower energy consumption compared with other processes
ξ In Japan, a testing plant capable of recovering 10 tons of CO2 per day using MHI's process has been operating at a coal-fired power generation plant in Nagasaki
ξ the Matsushima Thermal Power Station of Electric Power Development Co., Ltd. (J-POWER)
ξ since July 2006, and verification testing toward the establishment of the optimal recovery system is moving forward.

The testing project in Germany
ξ E.ON Energie will build, based on MHI's basic design,
ξ a CO2 recovery pilot plant including a flue-gas cooling tower,
ξ a CO2 absorption tower using the KS-1 solvent, and
ξ a CO2 desorption tower for separating the CO2 from the absorbent
ξ MHI will supply part of the facility equipment and the K-1 solvent
ξ Testing with flue gas from coal-fired boilers will be conducted over a period of two years.
ξ E.ON Energie is expected to invest 10 million euros in the program.

Coal’s recoverable reserves
ξ are estimated at more than 900 billion tons
ξ are more evenly distributed geographically than oil or natural gas reserves
ξ Globally, coal-fired power plants are the most prevalent form of power generation, producing more than 40% of the world’s electricity.
ξ In the world’s two largest power-consuming countries, the U.S. and China,
ξ coal-fired power generation accounts for more than 50% and roughly 80%, respectively, of all electricity generated
ξ Establishment of an effective CO2 recovery system for coal-fired power plants is being pursued today
ξ in a quest to achieve balanced prolongation of the availability of oil and natural gas,
ξ and simultaneously as a viable way of curbing global warming
