With expanded demand for power plants, concerns over the availability and prices of oil and gas, and increased consensus regarding the needs for deployment of technologies providing for environmental protection, gasification-based projects are increasingly viewed as a technology option for future progress.

The gasification industry is experiencing rapid growth as commodity prices have escalated since the beginning of the decade, combined with increasing environmental awareness, creating a significant market opportunity for Alter NRG.

The 2007 World Gasification Database shows that existing world gasification capacity has grown 25% since its last report in 2004, and anticipates a further increase in excess of 30% by 2010. Alter NRG is positioned to capitalize on this expanding market with its commercially proven plasma gasification technology that converts carbon-containing feedstocks into syngas.

Alter NRG is being sought out by industry leaders to partner and share its expertise in the application of its unique plasma gasification technology in various applications. This has led to value creation opportunities through plasma gasification sales to customers, partners and project developers and the opportunity to participate in clean-energy projects.

As well, Alter NRG, through its ownership of WPC, is able to use its world-class commercial demonstration facility to support projects and customer needs.
