BEIJING, People's Republic of China (PRC) June 9, 2006- Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE: CAT) has been selected to provide 60 methane-gas-powered generator sets to produce 120 megawatts of power at the Sihe Coal Mine in Jincheng City, Shanxi Province, China.

normal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt">北京6月9号消息——Caterpillar有限公司将为中国山西晋城寺河矿提供60台发电量达120兆瓦特的甲烷动力发电机。

The Shanxi Jincheng Anthracite Coal Mining Group Co., Ltd. is the project developer for the methane gas power project, which is expected to be the largest of its kind in the world when it is fully operational. "The residents of Shanxi Province will benefit from this power plant, which is a great example of the progress that is possible when companies like Caterpillar and its dealers work closely with industry and government," said Stu Levenick, Caterpillar group president with responsibility for China. "This project will improve environmental and economic conditions and mine safety while increasing trade between the United States and China." Methane gas is found in coal seams and can be hazardous if not properly managed and ventilated from mines. The power plant project is expected to improve methane gas ventilation at the mine site, improving safety while providing an environmentally friendly fuel source to generate electricity.

山西晋城无烟煤矿业集团有限责任公司是该甲烷发电项目开发商，该项目预计在全部运作之后将成为同类项目的世界之最。Caterpillar集团负责对华业务的总裁Stu Levenick表示：“山西省的居民将受益于这一座发电厂，这是例如Caterpillar及其经销商等公司与行业和政府紧密合作所带来可能的进步的一个良好例子。该项目增加中美贸易额的同时，将改善环境和经济条件，提高煤矿安全性。”在煤缝间存有甲烷，如果不正确处理和通风，将非常危险。该发电厂项目预计可以改善矿井下甲烷的通风状况，提高安全性，同时提供一个环保的发电燃料来源。

Historically, the methane has been vented into the atmosphere, generating greenhouse gas emissions. By capturing the previously vented methane gas and converting it into electricity, the Caterpillar generator sets will significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions while also improving the capacity of the local power grid. It's estimated the project will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 4.5 million tons over a 20-year period. "Caterpillar has a strong commitment to safety and environmental stewardship, and we are honored to be a partner in this important project supporting China's efforts to pursue sustainable economic development," Levenick added.

It is anticipated the planned power generation plant at the Sihe Coal Mine will use 60 Caterpillar G3520 generator sets, integrated Caterpillar paralleling switchgear and controls and four steam turbines driven by recovered exhaust heat to produce 120 megawatts of power.
