Today Coal Liquefaction converts over 90% of carbon at 500°C minimizing
CO2 footprint.
The Bergius process is a proven high pressure hydrogenation process that
produces on-spec light hydrocarbons from by thermal cracking and hydro-
gen saturation in one process unit called the direct hydrogenation unit. The
main reaction takes place in the Liquid Phase Reactors (LPH). Here a bub-
ble column flow is established. This ensures maximum mixing to achieve
high conversion. Typical reaction parameters are 450 - 490 °C (840 - 910
°F) and 200 - 300 bar (3,000 - 4,500 psi). Further treatment of the LPH
products takes place in the integrated Gas Phase Reactors (GPH) where
the light hydrocarbon products of the LPH get in contact with a fixed bed
catalyst to derive on-spec marketable liquid products. Unconverted prod-
ucts of the LPH are separated prior to the GPH section in the High Pressure
Hot Separator and are recycled.

Zeecol intends to produce 5,500 barrels of C380 marine fuel per week and 5,500 barrels of
C180 marine fuel per week. This is 26 contracts for each type per month, FOB Lyttleton
Harbour, Christchurch, NZ, at a site that was recently cleared following the February 2011
Earthquake.

BUSINESS FEASIBILITY STUDY - LYTTLETON HARBOUR
Market Viability -- Excellent
The company is selling marine fuel to an existing marine fuel buyer at Lyttleton Harbour Christchurch New
Zealand at market rates totaling 12% of current volumes. This !made in New Zealand" fuel is more highly
prized than imported varieties. This distinction will continue if supplies from foreign shores are interrupted
or reduced for any reason.
Technical Viability -- Excellent.
The company is using a direct hydrogenation process called the Bergius Process. This process was
developed in 1911 by Frederich Bergius. The process was used in the 1920s by IG Farben throughout
Germany to produce liquid fuels in competition with conventionally produced fuels. In 1932 Dr. Bergius
received the Nobel Prize for his innovations in high pressure hydrogen. In the 1940s World War Two
Germany used it to produce the bulk of its aviation fuel from coal after losing control of the Middle East
and Russian oil fields. Following that war US President Harry Truman backed efforts to build Bergius
reactors in Missouri in 1949. These facilities produced liquid fuels of superior quality at below market
costs. This project continued to operate until shut down under Eisenhower"s National Energy Council,
which was dominated by oil interests. In 2007 China Shenhua Energy Co (CSEC) initiated a program to
make fuels from coal using the Bergius Process citing the superior quality, high yields and lower cost of
this process.
Business Model Viability -- Excellent.
The technique of selling oil instead of equipment and land is widely used in oil field development. This
isolates investors from environmental and other liabilities while providing assured revenues once product
is made and selling into the market. The technique of segregating new technology from commodity sales
while providing significant returns made possible with the new technology has been very successfully
applied by companies like Hughes who developed new deep drilling techniques in the 1920s. From 1920
through 1950 Hughes drilling techniques developed over 1/3 of the world"s newly produced reserves.
Hughes never sold any equipment or services. Hughes continually improved his techniques and
processes. Nevertheless, investors in Hughes oil drilling projects routinely made significant profits
following the very model used here.
Management Model Viability -- Excellent.
The decision points and decision matrix is clearly delineated and events are clearly recognized.
Economic and Financial Model Viability -- Excellent.
The returns offered investors are calculated based on substantial discounts from today"s market prices for
fuel. Over the four year period of the investment prices are likely to rise improving values beyond those
offered here.
Exit Strategy Viability -- Excellent
According to US Department of Energy Energy Information Association the price of fuels have doubled in
the past three years. This trend is likely to continue due to structural difficulties in the oil supply markets
and capital markets. Any new supply of high quality fuels is highly valued as a consequence. Selling a
proven annuity based on fuel sales to institutional buyers in New Zealand and Australia at the prices
offered will likely take place quickly.

Zeecol manufactures two grades of marine fuel: Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (LSO) 180 centistokes
(CST) and LSO 380 CST.
These fuels are made to meet market specifications for these grades at its Lyttleton Harbour
location to meet the needs of the worldwide market. The specifications followed are those
defined by the International Organization for Standardization in document ISO 8217:2005 (E)
Petroleum products - Fuel (class F) - Specifications of marine fuels.
LSO 380: Specifications generally conform with that for RMG 380. Approximate Kinematic
Viscosity: At 50 C, max 380 cst. Flash point 60 C minimum. Pour point (upper) winter
quality, 30 C maximum; summer quality, same. Ash 0.15 m/m maximum. Sulfur 1.5%
maximum. Vanadium max 300 mg/kg. Aluminum plus silicon, 80 mg/kg max; water, 0.5%
maximum.
LSO 180: Specifications generally conform with that for RME 180. Approximate Kinematic
Viscosity: At 50 C, max 180 cst. Flash point 60 C minimum. Pour point (upper) winter
quality, 30 C maximum; summer quality, same. Ash 0.10 m/m maximum. Sulphur, maximum
1.5%. Vanadium max 200 mg/kg. Aluminum plus siliicon, 80 mg/kg max. ; water, 0.5%
maximum.
Timing: Zeecol bunker price assessments in India reflect the market value for futures at
1630 Mumbai time, for bunker fuel supplied 60 months ahead. If no market value can be
assessed in Mumbai, then the market value for fuels at 1630 Singapore time for the day of
the sale shall be used multiplied by 0.9821
Price: Prices are quoted in $/metric tonne.
Typical Size: Typical size parcel assessed is 500 metric tons for 180CST and 380CST but
can vary depending upon port, but generally there is a 300 metric tonne minimum.
Delivery: Bunkers are assessed on either an ex-wharf or delivered basis which includes all
barging costs. Zeecol assesses the open market rates for the chartering of dirty and clean
tankers. Zeecol charges $/MT assessments equivalent to rates charged.
