California Market Drivers • AB 32 passed – strict limits greenhouse gas emissions • CARB 07 sets tough new standards for NOx emissions – ALL FCE Products are CARB 07 certified on BOTH Natural Gas AND Biogas • $80 million + annual incentive program for clean energy generation projects (Self-Gen Incentive Program) • $2500/k. W for power plants running on natural gas • $4500/k. W for power plants running on biofuel • 40% of FCE’s total installed capacity • All FCE products are Rule 21 Certified – Simplified interconnection Santa Barbara, California

FCE History in California • FCE Evolution in California DG market • Earliest plants

FCE History in California • FCE Evolution in California DG market • Earliest plants operated by LADWP on natural gas • Follow-on plants operated on Digester Gas at Palmdale and Santa Barbara • Currently over 20 projects totaling 12+ MW operating in CA today 40% of existing projects operate on Bio Gas up to 12/07 93% of new projects being installed in ’ 08 are Bio Gas • Lessons Learned • Digesters occasionally take the day off – have natural gas as a backup • Bio Gas treatment systems require continuous O&M – N. G. backup • WWTP’s run diesel generator test monthly – install load banks • CA policy makers favor renewable fuels – be ready to use them all
