Evergreen Energy's business model creates new value for shareholders by addressing two incontrovertible policy truths:

• That the world's economic powers are determined to manage and reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions through regulations and taxes such as "cap-and-trade" and carbon tax programs
• That coal still will have to be used to meet the majority of the world's increasing energy demands while alternative technologies are developed and made economically feasible

Evergreen's timely emphasis on technology licensing for each of these key policy issues lessens Evergreen Energy's capital requirements while creating a faster path to revenue via governments and corporations working urgently to meet new energy demands and regulations in the United States, Canada, Euroe and Asia.
