KFx RECEIVES RESULTS OF TEST BURN AT FIRSTENERGY FACILITY

DENVER, September 12, 2006 -- KFx Inc. (Amex: KFX) today reported that it received the test burn results of its first unit train shipment of K-FuelTM Refined Coal. The test burn was recently conducted by KFx’s customer, FirstEnergy (NYSE: FE). The customer observed that the K-FuelTM Refined Coal exhibited improved heat content in the plant’s boiler relative to raw Powder River Basin Coals burned in that facility.

The test burn was conducted at a utility plant in the Ohio region which often experiences a power de-rating on its boilers when burning raw Power River Basin Coal. The plant staff tested the shipment of K-FuelTM Refined Coal and reported an improvement to the power de-rating that occurs in boilers when burning raw Powder River Basin Coals. No significant problems were reported with the train shipment, barge unloading, bunkering, or pulverizing. The customer also indicated that there was no slagging or ash handling problems experienced in the test burn.

“The initial test burns at utility and industrial customer sites are progressing, and results are in line with our expectations,” reported Mark Sexton, CEO. “Our goal is to get K-FuelTM Refined Coal to as many customers as possible so they can conduct their own test burns, from which we will assemble a database regarding the performance of K-FuelTM Refined Coal in boilers designed for higher BTU coals. We are continuing to see strong demand for K-FuelTM Refined Coal.”
