EmberClear 300 MW Combined Cycle

A Canadian power developer, EmberClear Corp., is planning to build a second 300-MW power plant in the Porter Township (PA) Village of Good Spring where it had once envisioned a plant fueled by coal. The company has one project, Good Spring combined cycle 1, that's tentatively ready to begin construction in 2013. It announced plans Tuesday to build a similar second plant, Good Spring 2. "Good Spring NGCC 1 is preparing for construction and undergoing the normal sales process for a developer," James Palumbo, president of EmberClear Power Pennsylvania Inc., said in a prepared statement. "Having Good Spring NGCC 2 follow in its footsteps will benefit everyone." EmberClear previously selected SK E&C USA to build the first Good Spring power plant. Albert Lin, CEO of EmberClear, estimated it would cost up to $400 million to build and be completed by 2015.

Calgary, AB – September 19, 2012 – EmberClear Corp. (TSXV: EMB) ("EmberClear") is pleased to announce selection of SK E&C USA for Engineering, Procurement & Construction (“EPC”) for the 300 MW Good Spring Natural Gas Combined Cycle (“Good Spring NGCC”) power plant in Pennsylvania.

During construction, the Good Spring NGCC power project will employ approximately 500 workers for two years culminating in dozens of full time positions for plant operations. The economic impact to the surrounding area is expected to be more than $1 billion over 15 years.

The Natural Gas Combined Cycle power plant will use the latest turbine technology for efficient operations to supply enough electricity for approximately 300,000 households.

Jim Palumbo, President of Future Power Pennsylvania Inc. (“FPPI”), a wholly owned subsidiary of EmberClear, reports the Good Spring NGCC project is on schedule to commission in 2015. The project is expected to break ground in 2013.

"We expect the U.S. natural gas-based power market to rapidly expand over the next decade, especially in the Marcellus Shale geography where Good Spring NGCC is situated. SK E & C has been adding jobs in the U.S. in response and preparation for this opportunity," said Keith Clauss, Chief Executive Officer, SK E&C USA.

Frank Zukas, President of the Schuylkill Economic Development Corporation (“SEDCO”) in eastern Pennsylvania, believes the Good Spring plant will be a great addition to the region for many reasons.

"This assures affordable power and cleaner air for the future. Also, the new wave of gas power plants supports a healthier and more sustainable job market opportunity for the Commonwealth," Zukas said.

“Projects of this nature require the scale and experience of an engineering, procurement and construction company such as SK E&C USA in order to bring all the other requisite parties to finance, contract, and perform the construction of this great asset,” explained Albert Lin, CEO of EmberClear. “We look forward to further progress in maximizing this region of the USA’s natural gas abundance, skilled workers, and demand for low-emissions power.”

Taking advantage of the USA's natural gas trends, this permitted 300 MW Natural Gas Combined Cycle ("NGCC") power plant practically resides in the USA's newest and largest producing shale gas field (Marcellus Shale). The Northeastern Pennsylvania location is approximately 100 miles from Philadelphia and 50 miles from Harrisburg ready to provide power to the largest electricity market in North America, the Pennsylvania – New Jersey – Maryland ("PJM") power grid. The close proximity of the Good Spring NGCC to existing PJM Grid infrastructure is anticipated to significantly reduce the time and expense typically associated with connecting a power generation source to an electricity grid. Negotiations for this plant to begin construction in 2013 are underway.

2) Need for Electricity - Old and small coal based plants representing about 30% of the market are decommissioning

3) Grid Interconnection - Great location in the PJM power grid with nearby interconnection lowers transmission costs

4) Local Support - Creating jobs and energy security with advanced low-emission solutions works for everyone

EmberClear plans to develop other NGCC power projects in the United States in close proximity to major power grids and feedstock supplies.

The Good Spring 300 MW NGCC power plant is a variation of the previously announced 270 MW advanced coal Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (“IGCC”) power plant, named Good Spring IGCC. EmberClear had originally permitted this site for an IGCC power plant however has decided to change to an NGCC power plant as a result of the recent emergence of favourably priced long-term contracts for natural gas. EmberClear plans to enter a long-term natural gas contract to supply Good Spring NGCC in the coming months. Other implications for this decision include:

· Natural Gas Fuel Source – Good Spring Power has been permitted to generate electricity from syngas and natural gas. Originally, syngas would have been created with coal gasification technology as the primary fuel with natural gas as a backup fuel source. However, improving availability and economics of domestic natural gas enables the project to use natural gas as the primary fuel source. This modification lowers the project complexity, reduces the capital cost by at least 60% and accelerates the construction schedule;

· Accelerating Time to Construction – The lack of regulatory clarity on emissions for coal-based electricity plants plus the immediate availability of natural gas provides a strong incentive to use natural gas as the primary fuel source; and

· Choice of Feedstock for the Future - Use of either coal or natural gas as a feedstock is highly dependent on the differential between either one of these fuel sources with respect to the price of electricity. If the future regulatory environment and economics make the IGCC power plant a better solution, EmberClear has the ability to build an IGCC plant.

Pennsylvania Power Plant Will Create 500 New Jobs and Add $1 Billion to Local Economy

Calgary, AB – September 19, 2012 – EmberClear Corp. (TSXV: EMB) (“EmberClear“) is pleased to announce selection of SK E&C USA for Engineering, Procurement & Construction (“EPC”) for the 300 MW Good Spring Natural Gas Combined Cycle (“Good Spring NGCC”) power plant in Pennsylvania.

The Natural Gas Combined Cycle power plant will use the latest turbine technology for efficient operations to supply enough electricity for approximately 300,000 households.

“We expect the U.S. natural gas-based power market to rapidly expand over the next decade, especially in the Marcellus Shale geography where Good Spring NGCC is situated. SK E & C has been adding jobs in the U.S. in response and preparation for this opportunity,” said Keith Clauss, Chief Executive Officer, SK E&C USA.

With construction expected to begin next year, EmberClear Corp. plans to increase the power generation at the Good Spring Power Plant by taking advantage of decade-low natural gas prices.

"The price difference between wholesale electricity and natural gas has grown substantially in the last few months," Albert Lin, EmberClear CEO, said this week in a prepared statement. "With long-term contracts for natural gas being so competitively priced, a compelling opportunity to quickly move into contracting and construction with higher than historical returns presents itself. We intend to capitalize on this market condition."

Power generation at Good Spring Power will increase from 270 to 300 megawatts with the use of a Natural Gas Combined Cycle power plant. EmberClear previously announced the use of an Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle power plant that turns coal into synthetic gas, or syngas.

A combined cycle generates electric power through an assembly of heat engines working together from the same source, converting it into mechanical energy that drives electrical generators.

In February, EmberClear signed an energy agreement with China's Huaneng Clean Energy Research Institute to allow the company to develop the patented gasification technology in the United States.

EmberClear still has the ability to build an IGCC plant if economic conditions are better for coal.

"EmberClear still has the option to use the license over the life of the plant," Lin said in an email. "As natural gas is becoming lower in price, so is thermal coal. Thermal coal may be a better route in the future."

A larger availability of natural gas has led to lower prices as companies have already begun extracting the substance from an underground layer of shale called the Marcellus formation that is under much of the state.

An advanced energy development company based in Canada, EmberClear owns about 560 acres in Good Spring, Porter Township. The publicly traded company has been planning to build the $800 million-plus power plant for about four years and could create more than 1,000 temporary jobs for construction and about 100 full-time positions at the completed plant.

EmberClear has started contract and financial closing activities, which includes power purchase agreements, in preparation for construction to begin on the Good Spring Power Plant in 2013. Federal grants and loans are still being evaluated for the project and private domestic investments were also possible, Lin said during previous discussions. The project will be developed by EmberClear, but will eventually be owned and operated by a utility company that will also have input in financing. The names of possible utility companies have not been mentioned.
