DAY 2: 16 January 2013

General Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed calls for a worldwide energy revolution During the opening ceremony that also marked the beginning of the first Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW), His Highness General Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan said: ‘Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week is an important platform, as the world must work together to address energy and water access, food security and tackle the consequences of climate change. The United Arab Emirates is committed to face this challenge and is pushing forward to accelerate clean energy and adopt sustainable development.’

His Highness General Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, watches as world leaders speak on the need for renewable energy supplies

Yesterday the World Future Energy Summit was officially opened by His Highness General Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the United Arab Emirates Armed Forces, in the presence of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Dubai.

Summit opens with children’s request The World Future Energy Summit opened yesterday with a clarion call from UAE’s children: ‘In the future’, they said at the opening ceremony, ‘We will live in an uncaring society.’

‘But I refuse to be part of an uncaring generation,’ the children declared. ‘I have my priorities right. We can make a difference. And the time is now.’

Other world leaders joined His Highness’s call for an increase in the use of renewable and sustainable energy sources. During his speech, French President Françoise Hollande called on governments to finance a major switchover to green energies.

General Sheikh Zayed leads calls for worldwide energy revolution (Continued from cover) ‘If we don’t do anything we can be sure we will have a catastrophe on our hands,’ he told a packed conference hall at the opening ceremony of the World Future Energy Forum yesterday morning. ‘If we don’t react now, then climate change won’t hit us at the end of the century. It will hit us before then.’

The demand for energy is growing all the time, said the President, describing fossil fuels as ‘polluting’ and ‘the fuel of the past’.

‘It is our duty to promote new energies and it is our responsibility to leave our planet in a habitable state for our children.’

President Hollande made a number of commitments during his speech. The first was that France would do all in its power to re-think its cities, employing an environmentally friendly agenda.

CLEANTECH POWERS WAVE OF INVESTMENT More than $56bn was invested in global renewable energy projects in quarter three of 2012, reports Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF).

‘We need to invent a new model of what we call the future city. What we need is a social, environmental and economical challenge,’ he said. ‘We need to learn how to build new cities better. But we must also learn how to renovate old cities, and strive to do everything possible to make them more energy efficient.’

Around the show According to Michael Liebreich, Chief Executive of BNEF governments and businesses are taking advantage of interest in the sector, with global investment in clean energy totalling $56.6bn in the third quarter of 2012.

‘The third quarter figure is roughly equivalent to investment in the whole of 2004. The location of some of the biggest projects financed in Q3 this year highlights the geographical shift that is taking place in clean energy, with newer markets in South America, Asia, the Middle East and Africa picking up steam,’ said Mr Liebreich.

Frank Wouters, Deputy Director-General of The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) believes that there has never been a better time for promoting renewable energy in the developing world: ‘Costs have fallen, demand is growing, and renewables offer an unprecedented opportunity to broaden access. But we need finance to make this a reality.’

IRENA has announced a $50m funding cycle for renewable energy projects in partnership with the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development.

Superstar Ragheb Alama takes a stand Azuri looks for young ambassador for renewable energy movement Solar company Azuri is searching to find a Young Future Energy ambassador for Abu Dhabi.

Lebanese superstar Ragheb Alama views a model of Masdar – the world’s first zero-carbon city

Lebanese superstar Ragheb Alama (right) is an angry man. He swept into the World Future Energy Summit yesterday, with the aim of raising the profile of ‘green’ policies; he talked to us on the Show Daily News.

Alma told us that being the UN Ambassador for Climate Change for a few months has made him scared about the future.

‘I believe that politicians, through neglect, have reached the point where they are destroying the environment,’ he said. ‘I suddenly realised that humanity was having poison thrown into the air and the water, and that governments were doing hardly anything about it,’ he said. ‘God gave us this world, and not to destroy it. We need to take proper care of it.’

Alama blames corruption for the problems besetting the environment in his homeland of Lebanon.

‘People are destroying my country, by killing the environment. All government cares about is the interests of business. But I don’t understand why anyone, including businessmen or women, would want to live in a dirty, polluted place.’

Alama is working on a new television documentary to encourage young people and students to adopt green technologies where they can, as well as keeping as up to date as he can by attending events such as the World Future Energy Summit. n

Thousands of Emirati high school and university students are attending the WFES this week, and Azuri is hopeful that it will find a new champion for energy access among them. The company, which specialises in affordable domestic lighting solutions in emerging markets, believes that with better access to green energy people in subSaharan Africa could extend their productive day by a full three hours, allowing more time for study, work or cooking Azuri is exhibiting in the Project Village, Stand PV14, and there will be more information on the competition on the stand.

Azuri’s CEO Simon Brandsfield-Garth is also leading two round-table discussions, one on Wednesday at 11am on pay-as-you go in rural economies and another on the role of micropower in Emerging Economies on Thursday at 2pm.

Frenchmen turning homes green FRANÇOIS HOLLANDE HAS STARTED TO PROMOTE GREEN CONSTRUCTION POLICIES, BUT FRENCHMAN PHILIPPE STARCK IS AHEAD OF HIS COUNTRY’S LEADER President François Hollande may have announced a programme to encourage environmentally friendly building construction, but French designer Philippe Starck has already beaten his president to the punch.

Visit us at WFES 2013 15-17 January 2013 Booth 9400 Hall 9 ADNEC

Starke has joined with Slovenian engineering company Riko Group to develop custommade, prefabricated wooden houses, as part of a new venture to improve housing standards. The first will be built in the autumn.

The DEARS (Democratic Ecological Architecture with Riko by Starck) houses will be designed around nine key principles, including energy efficiency, carbon neutrality, affordability and timeless design. Each will integrate cleantech, such as photovoltaic and solar panels, triple glazing and thick insulation made from pulped paper or wooden fibres.

The prototype steel-framed house is under construction in Versailles and will feature five bedrooms, a combined kitchen, dining and living area, a terrace and swimming pool. n Parties may register their interest in the DEARS project at starckwithriko.com.

Brave Blue World

DUBAI IS BUILDING A BID TO HOST EXPO 2020 ON THREE KEY THEMES REPRESENTING THE FORCES THAT INSPIRE GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT. ONE OF THOSE THEMES IS SUSTAINABILITY – CREATING LASTING SOURCES OF ENERGY AND WATER. WE ASKED JOURNALIST JOHN VIDAL TO EXPLAIN HOW SUSTAINABLE STEWARDSHIP OF OUR SEAS IS NOT ONLY CRUCIAL TO OUR LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM, BUT COULD ALSO DELIVER ECONOMIC TRANSFORMATION. Not so long ago, the oceans seemed infinite, resilient and unchanging. Fish stocks appeared limitless, coral reefs indestructible and no one paid much attention to what happened to coastlines or to the 71 per cent of the planet’s surface covered by water. The seas were both humanity’s dumps and its supermarkets, and when countries ripped out their coastal forests, filled in their wetlands and built ever-larger fishing vessels, there was little or no concern for the future.

Slowly, and then in a rush, we have come to understand that the world’s oceans are neither inexhaustible nor abundant, but vulnerable and in great danger. One in five of all fish species are threatened with extinction; 60 per cent of the world’s fishing grounds and ecosystems are over-exploited; coral reefs have drastically declined; there are now more than 500 dead zones where there is no oxygen in the water because of fertilizer runoff; and just one per cent of the oceans is

4 16 JANUARY 2013 DAILY NEWS

formally protected by statute. Rising sea temperatures, acidification, overfishing, pollution from the land, drilling, dredging and waste dumping are now all expected to have terrible effects.

But from the realisation that if we damage our seas we fatally undermine our life support system and our economies is growing the idea of the ‘blue economy’: the planning of economic activity based on sea protection and sensitive use of marine resources.

Running parallel to the United Nation’s calls for countries to adopt ‘green economies’ by assigning value to nature, this new model for economic development is gathering pace.

‘The concept of the blue-green economy has emerged as a shift from traditional thinking about environmental protection and management being separate from economic development to the now recognised fact that future development is inextricably linked with environmental and social considerations,’ says Mitrasen Bhikajee, Director of the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC), part of Unesco.

Research by the IOC and the UN Environment Programme suggests a clear link between poverty eradication and better protection of the seas. In testimony before the Senate Committee on Commerce,

Slowly, and then in a rush, we have come to understand that the world’s oceans are neither inexhaustible nor abundant, but vulnerable and in great danger.

Science and Transportation last year, the US Government’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Administrator, Jane Lubchenco, estimated that conserving and rebuilding US fish populations to sustainable levels could generate an additional $31bn a year in sales and an extra 500,000 jobs.

Factor in the largely untapped potential for marine renewable energy, fish farming, sustainable tourism, genetics, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, and the incentive for countries to act on the blue economy is overwhelming. One study estimates that the oceanic potential of Indonesia, with 18,000 islands and a coastline of more than 34,000 miles, could reach $1.2tn a year.

‘If Indonesia could fully optimise its maritime potential, its waters could mitigate the impacts of climate change by absorbing around 80 per cent of global over-heating and provide a source of alternative energy,’ said Indonesia’s Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Minister, Sharif Cicip Sutardjo, at the Rio conference on sustainable development in June, 2012.

China, which has 3million km2 of offshore

waters and 20,000 miles of coastline, plans to invest more than $100bn in the next five years to develop hi-tech industries such as marine chemistry, biomedicine, ocean power, seawater use, ocean engineering and construction. By 2016, Qingdao’s Blue Economic Zone should cover 14km2 and include a 400-hectare area for marine industry research and 300 hectares for alternative-energy and new-materials research. There will be more than 10,000 tech companies, creating 200,000 jobs.

The blue economy is being led by the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation and the

International Maritime Organisation and came to the fore at the Rio+20 conference of more than 190 countries in June, 2012 and the International Expo at Yeosu in South Korea, where the UAE’s exhibition, with its theme of ‘The Living Ocean and Coast’, attracted two million people.

‘Emiratis have had a long association with the sea and still depend on it for their wellbeing,’ said Her Excellency Reem Al Hashimi, UAE Minister of State and Managing Director of the Higher Committee for Hosting the 2020 World Expo in Dubai.

‘We live in a connected world and our

actions affecting coastal habitats and marine life impact on others as much as ourselves.

We are keen to make our own contribution to the analysis of key theme issues, such as fisheries management, the blue economy, species conservation, environmental protection and reduction of marine pollution.

These are all real issues that we cannot solve by ourselves, even within our own borders, but we can make a difference,’ she said.

Rio was a turning point. While they may not be legally binding, seven of the IOC's ten proposals were accepted at Rio+20. ‘The ocean is the cornerstone of our life support system,’ says the IOC’s Mitrasen Bhikajee.

‘We ignore it at our peril.’ n

SOLARPROOF® presents a revolutionary energy roof at Intersolar Booth 9010 F.I.T. SOLARPROOF® is a revolutionary integrated system that converts flat roofs with a maximum slope of 20°, whether new or under renovation, into high efficiency energy roofs. It is an innovative concept, developed and extensively tested in Belgium. The system is worldwide patented.

SOLAR PROOF® uses the roof as an integrated solar collector. It absorbs heat from the sun’s rays using an array of tubes mounted just below the roof covering. Using as heat exchanger, the liquid flowing through the tubes transfers the heat produced to the sanitary facilities, swimming pool water, geothermal energy collectors and/or low temperature heating systems.

The array of tubes placed on the roof resembles an inverted floor heating system. It is mounted just below the roof covering and is thermally insulated using a unique, light, solid energy mortar system consisting largely of recycled material. This makes the roof particularly suitable for passive buildings.

The inertia of the Pirotherm isolated mortar, ensures that cold can also be transported. The energy roof can also play a large role in cooling buildings.

All solar heat that cannot be used for heating sanitation water, swimming pool water or low temperature heating systems, can be stored in geothermal collectors or dumbed in the sea. In the winter, the stored heat can then be recovered through a heat pump and thus provides an economical and pleasing climate.

SOLARPROOF® calculates the surface area necessary for the building’s heating and cooling demand. The installation of amorphous photovoltaic systems completes the roof.

In manufacturing the energy roof, maximal use is made of recycled and recyclable materials. What the SOLARPROOF® roof does is actually nothing more than shift heat and cold to those places where you need it. So not more sustainable. The system is fully integrated into the building and has a lifetime equal to that of the building itself.

However much sustainability may have been a buzz word, for the end-user, it often comes down to conserving energy and being able to live or work independently. That is precisely what SOLARPROOF® does.

Masdar Future City Now RISING THROUGH THE DESERT SEVENTEEN KILOMETRES AWAY FROM ABU DHABI IS A SET OF DREAMING TOWERS. BUT THIS IS NOT A MIRAGE. IT’S THE WORLD’S FIRST ZERO-CARBON CITY

Since the 1960s, environmental pioneers have been warning us that the world is running out of natural resources, and will do so even sooner if China and India achieve consumption rates to rival those of America.

So in that scenario, we have to change. This is where Masdar comes in. A brave experiment in urban design, this pioneering city is an attempt to turn sustainable living into a reality. It is ironic, but somehow right, that it has its genesis in Abu Dhabi, a country immeasurably rich in oil, whose carbon is a threat to the future.

What will one day be a 6km2 community is only part-finished, but its vision is potent and clear. Powered entirely by solar energy and other renewables, this zero-carbon environment is a radical move away from the high-rise, gas-guzzling development that characterised cities in the 20th century.

‘We are betting that this incredible investment represented by Masdar is going to pay off,’

8 16 JANUARY 2013 DAILY NEWS

said US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton when she visited the site in 2011. ‘And when it pays off, it will not only mean a better life for the people in this country and in this region, it will have ripple effects throughout the world.’

The dream is that Masdar will become a global hub of innovation, research and enterprise focusing on green energy. The Masdar Institute of Science and Technology campus, designed by Foster and Partners, is the hub of the new development. Opened in 2010, the Institute is the first solar-powered building to be completed. Apt, because it is devoted to researching sustainability.

Eventually, Masdar will become home to some 40,000 residents. Today, there are far fewer than that, but public interest in the site is running high.

Walking here is a pleasure. Architect Sir Norman Foster had recognised that the old ways of designing and building cities in hot

climates makes the most sense: thick walls and carefully directed natural breezes are just as important as high technology. Planned like traditional Arabic towns, where keeping the sun at bay has been both a science and an art for centuries, the streets and squares are shielded from desert winds, sandstorms and the sun by thick-walled buildings that nestle between narrow alleys designed, like the wind towers, to funnel cooling breezes and cast deep shadows. Cars and trucks will be directed underground.

The new Masdar headquarters will eventually

become a 32,000m2 complex, sharing a community courtyard. One of its facilities will house the International Renewable Energy Agency (Irena). ‘Masdar is one of those early visionary initiatives that while they may be very expensive to start with, they result in so many spin-offs, ideas that it is of huge benefit to us all. Irena played a role in ensuring that the building meets its renewable energy standards. In addition to the 10.764ft2 rooftop solar array, the building will be constructed with many locally-sourced materials such as lowcarbon cement, recycled steel, high

recycled content aluminium and sustainablysourced timber.

The institute uses 54 per cent less potable water and 51 per cent less electricity than the conventionally built towers of downtown Abu Dhabi. Seventy five per cent of its hot water is heated by the sun. A 10MW solar field already provides 60 per cent more energy than the Institute uses, so the remaining energy is fed back to the Abu Dhabi grid. The campus, which consists of a main building, a knowledge centre and students’ quarters, will use significantly less energy and water than

The dream is that Masdar will become a global hub of innovation, research and enterprise focusing on green energy. The Masdar Institute of Science and Technology campus, designed by Foster and Partners, is the hub of the new development.

the vast majority of other buildings in the UAE. Over 5,000m2 of roof-mounted photovoltaic installations provide power. Windows in the residential buildings are protected by a contemporary reinterpretation of mashrabiya, a traditional, latticed projecting oriel window with a modern twist. The glass-reinforced concrete is coloured with local sand to integrate with its desert context and to minimise maintenance. The perforations for light and shade are based on the patterns found in the traditional Islamic architecture.

In an approach that is so far thoroughly different to most other MENA countries, the UAE has taken firm hold of the green agenda. This it does through privately-structured government backed entities such as Masdar, which is both a multibillion dollar cleantech investment company and now a city and a university as well. Commercial operations of Masdar’s Shams1 CSP plant in Abu Dhabi begin this year. Now Adnan Amin, Irena's Director General, tells me that Saudi officials are getting quite openly competitive with UAE’s vision. This may at least part of the spur behind a recent announcement of a huge $110bn investment in cleantech, which should be just the beginning.

‘They told me that if it had not been for the visionary thinking of Masdar, they would have taken a lot longer to invest in green energy.’

So: the race is on. Long may it last. n

RICHARD TAYLOR OF THE INTERNATIONAL HYDROPOWER ASSOCIATION DISCUSSES TRENDS IN THE FIELD OF HYDROPOWER… With record levels of deployment and currently supplying 16 per cent of the world’s electricity, hydropower has been re-established as a mainstream technology. Over the last five years, some 30 GW of new capacity has been added each year. Being a renewable, indigenous and low-carbon technology, its unique characteristics of long operating life, reliability and efficiency are now better understood.

Changing expectations are becoming increasingly evident. New projects need broader developmental benefit. Water management services are being incorporated in projects to deliver multiple services (such as water supply, navigation and flood mitigation). Expectations around power services are increasing (firming power for variable input from other renewables, frequency and voltage regulation, reserve capacity to protect against unexpected outages, etc.). Finally, an increasing number of developers and investors are entering the sector; with this, there is a growing need for communication of good practice and the assessment of sustainability performance.

What makes a good project?

There are many ways energy can be harnessed through water, such as energy recovery in water passageways, utility generation from reservoirs, and applications in the marine environment. And there are many ways to assess the value of particular projects. In principle, good projects should be ones which make the best use of the available resource with the least impact on the environment, and

provide the maximum benefit to society. Freshwater infrastructure can, and should, provide multiple water and power services. Hydropower, which facilitates water security and the increased use of other renewables, through energy storage and rapid response to demand, can be seen as a ‘model’ project. The Association has awarded the IHA Blue Planet Prize to projects that demonstrate excellence in various categories including environmental, social and economic.

Major turning points A major achievement for the IHA has been working with NGO partners, such as WWF, governments, such as Norway, and banks, such as the World Bank, in supporting the roll-out of the Hydropower Sustainability Assessment Protocol. This has included the establishment of a governance framework, the first round of assessor accreditation, and first official Protocol applications.

Significant steps have been made in the monitoring of hydropower through the IHA Global Hydropower Statistic Project. This currently holds data on more than 9,500 power stations and 1,500 operating companies. With regard to other IHA activities, continuing progress has been achieved in work on climate change, risk and finance, the water-energy nexus, and regional systems. With regard to the latter, demonstrating that 100 per cent renewable energy systems are achievable and realistic, is really important to us.

IHA’s work with the other REN Alliance partners – the International Geothermal Association, International Solar Energy Society, World Bioenergy Association, and World Wind Energy Association – has been valuable in working towards our goal of a renewable future. n

WORLD FUTURE ENERGY SUMMIT 15-17 JANUARY 2013

Bioenergy – an important carbon-neutral energy source PRESIDENT OF THE WORD BIOENERGY ASSOCIATION DR. HEINZ KOPETZ TELLS US ABOUT BIOMASS The global transformation to a sustainable energy system will be one of the biggest challenges of the future. Bioenergy will play an important role.

Biomass is chemically-stored solar energy produced by plants. The largest current source of renewable energy, biomass can be transformed into bioenergy in the form of liquid, solid and gas fuels.

The future development of bioenergy must be seen in relation to the problems of global warming. Between 2010 and 2050, not more than 750 gigatonne(Gt) of C02 should be emitted globally in order to comply with the target of no more than a 2° increase in global temperature. If current emissions of 31Gt C02/year continue than 2° target cannot be achieved. The 2° target plays a key role in future development: if temperatures increase any higher than that, then feedback mechanisms risk temperatures rising even further. If that happens, then future generations will be unable to stop global warming.

The World Bioenergy Association (WBA) developed a scenario on the basis of these findings and the assumption that the transformation of the energy system is evenly spread over the next few decades (keywords: intergenerational justice!). This scenario demonstrates that bioenergy and other renewables must grow and fossil fuels decline at a much faster rate than those presented in the International Energy Association Scenarios.

Realistically, the 2° target can only be met if there is a significant slowdown in the growth of energy demand, a three-fold increase of bioenergy, a thirty-fold increase of other renewable and a halving of the volumes of fossil fuel consumption.

Biomass comes from three main sources: forestry, agriculture and waste. These sources include main products, by-products and different waste streams as explained in Table 2.

In regions without a developed bio-energy industry, most of the waste and by-products are not used but either burned on the fields, dumped and left to rot, left in the forests or put in landfills, in each case resulting in the release of heat, C02 or methane (CH4).

In short, biomass has to be sustainably used. Among other things, this means that in any given region, no more biomass must be consumed than is produced by the plants. If this rule is observed, biomass delivers a constant, stable long-term energy supply.

Unlike fossil fuels, biomass is a carbon-neutral energy source, because the plants absorb the carbon needed to build up the plant matter from the air via photosynthesis. This carbon returns to the atmosphere as a result of natural decay, or the use of the biomass. In the case of fossil fuels, additional carbon from the earth’s crust is injected into the atmosphere, inflating the natural carbon cycle and increasing global warming.

In 2010, biomass delivered 53 Exajoule (EJ) – 10 per cent of the global energy supply. It was used as follows: 45.1 EJ for heating; 5.4EJ for electricity and 2.5EJ for transportation fuels.

A better use of waste and by-products, of existing forests, and of the available unutilised land offers sufficient potential to deliver 150EJ biomass in 2035. But a number of steps must be taken to achieve this. According to the WBA’s own scenario, biomass could deliver around 110 EJ for heating, 20EJ for electricity and 20EJ for transport fuels in 2035.

collection to the conversion plant or individual end user. Positive examples are the environmental taxation in Sweden for heating, the feed-in-tariff in Germany for electricity, and the tax-and blending policy for biofuels in Brazil and the US.

Market priorities Biomass should be developed to serve all markets including heating, electricity and transport fuels, especially electricity from combined heat and power plants, advanced biofuels from residues and waste.

Agriculture

B2 energy crops: cereals, corn, oilseeds, energy grass etc.

Waste streams C1 municipial solid waste (MSW) C2 organic waste from industry C3 sewage sludge

The heating market should be given the highest priority: improving the efficiency of cooking and heating in developing countries, and replacing fossil and electricity-to-heat systems by biomass-fuelled heating including district heat in OECD countries.

Job creation The implementation of bioenergy works like a job engine. An example: to add an additional 10EJ biomass to the residential heating market requires new heating systems for 150 million homes and a supply chain for 600 million tonnes of pellets a year. This will create 5 million jobs and reduce C02 emissions by almost 1,000 million tonnes.

If the opportunities biomass offers are missed, global warming will accelerate and the uncertainties in food and energy supply get worse.

Decision makers in governments and parliaments must pave the way for the urgent growth of biomass, in conjunction with all other renewable, as a key energy source.

The World Bioenergy Association (WBA) is the global voice of Bioenergy and promotes deals with liquid, gaseous and solid biofuels.

WBA is convinced that a fast deployment of biomass is the best strategy to fight global warming, to secure the future energy supply and to create new jobs worldwide. www.worldbioenergy.org

Nature leaves us little time to transform the energy system to a low carbon system. Strong efforts are therefore needed immediately to accelerate the use of biomass and other renewables, and to decrease the use of fossil fuels.These efforts include support policies and welldesigned market strategies.

Support policies Succesful support policies are reliable, stable over time and offer profit margins for investors. Such support policies attract private capital, enabling the business community to build up complete supply chains from forests, fields and waste

Billion-dollar corporations prioritize energy mix strategy

BY BEN WARREN, GLOBAL ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL FINANCE LEADER, ERNST & YOUNG, AND JOHN DE YONGE, DIRECTOR OF ACCOUNT ENABLEMENT, ERNST & YOUNG GLOBAL CLEANTECH CENTER How are the largest global companies responding to the challenge of shifting to a low carbon and resource-efficient economy?

Ernst & Young’s recent survey of billion-dollar corporations sheds light on what’s driving CEOs and their management teams, including mitigating energy cost hikes, increasing adoption of renewable energy and even generating their own energy.

These are some of the key findings arising from Ernst & Young’s recent global energy mix survey of billion-dollar corporations.

Global energy mix survey Ernst & Young surveyed executives involved in setting corporate energy strategy at 100 companies with revenues of $1bn or more.

The survey was limited to companies in energy-intensive sectors with a balanced distribution around the globe. In the final tally, 72 per cent of the responding companies have revenues exceeding $1bn and another 28 per cent revenues of $10bn or more.

Survey respondents are spread among North America (35 per cent), EMEA (35 per cent) and Asia-Pacific (30 per cent). The largest industry groups are diversified industrial products (29 per cent), retail and wholesale (16 per cent) and automotive (9 per cent).

High energy costs High energy costs that are expected to go even higher set the context for the discussion of corporate strategy on the energy mix. For half of our survey respondents, energy expenditures represent 5 per cent or more of operating costs. A smaller but significant subset (22 per cent) report that 20 per cent or more of operating costs go to energy.

In absolute terms, this translates into an annual energy spend of at least $50m for 40 per cent of respondents. Nearly a third (27 per cent) spend $100m or more on energy.

The majority (73 per cent) of our respondents foresee their already substantial energy costs

26 16 JANUARY 2013 DAILY NEWS

rising over the next five years, and 38 per cent expect that energy costs will rise by 15 per cent or more during this period.

Self-generation by companies

Given such high energy costs, it is perhaps no surprise that the majority of respondents (70 per cent) have a formal strategy and implementation plan in place to manage the mix of different energy sources they use.

Slightly over half (51 per cent) have a strategy that applies to their company globally; 46 per cent say that energy strategy applies at the country or business unit level.

Interestingly, 16 per cent report their energy strategy extends to their supply chain.

A number of well-known large corporations have launched initiatives to generate their own energy for a variety of reasons. Among them are reducing energy price volatility, increasing security of supply, decreasing costs and meeting carbon objectives.

Our survey suggests that this practice is not yet widespread, is likely to grow over the next several years. Slightly over half (51 per cent) of respondents report no self-generation at all, and only 20 per cent of respondents generate more than 10 per cent of their companies’ total energy needs. That said, one-third of respondents expect to meet a greater share of their energy needs through self generation over the next five years.

Key implementation challenges

Energy efficiency

Respondents identified financing and capital issues related to energy projects as the most important challenges to the implementation of energy strategies: • Financing and capital issues related to energy mix projects (47 per cent) • Identifying and accessing government grants and incentives (40 per cent) • Assessing and selecting technologies (39 per cent) • Measuring or tracking progress in meeting energy mix strategy objectives (37 per cent)

Given current energy spending and anticipated increases, reducing energy costs remains the nearly universal primary objective of energy efficiency initiatives. However, important subsidiary objectives include shrinking the company’s carbon footprint, limiting exposure to fluctuating fossil fuel prices and reducing risk related to fossil fuel availability.

Respondents deploy a variety of technologies to achieve their energy efficiency objectives. The most important ones are energy demand management (47 per cent), building energy management systems (20 per cent), energy-efficient lighting (18 per cent) and building automation (18 per cent). A large majority of respondents anticipate increasing energy efficiency over the next five years — 60 per cent say that initiatives to reduce energy consumption through efficiency will increase, and another 22 per cent say that such initiatives will increase significantly.

Formal energy strategy and implementation plan

C-level input and oversight Decision-making with regard to energy mix strategy is not limited to the procurement or facilities management functions but rises to the highest levels of the corporation.

For more than one-third of respondents (36 per cent), the CEO makes the final decisions on energy mix strategy. For another 40 per cent energy mix strategy is decided by the COO, CFO, GM, or board chairman. Energy mix is a truly strategic issue for the world’s largest corporations and receives high-level executive attention as a result.

Renewables in company energy Whether solar, wind, bio-energy or other kinds of renewables, 41 per cent of respondents report generating some form of renewable

WORLD FUTURE ENERGY SUMMIT 15-17 JANUARY 2013

Renewables in paid-for electricity

Conclusions

energy costs through efficiency measures is often the foremost objective of energy strategy, a number of other subsidiary goals are also driving strategy, such as energy security, carbon reduction and price stability.

Regulatory compliance together with reputation and brand aspects also play parts.

Self-generation and integration of renewables into the energy supply is increasing at significant rates to meet these ends, with these practices set to accelerate over the next five years. The main barriers to this are mainly related to risk and financial returns, suggesting that adoption could come even faster with financing innovations and increasing cost-competitiveness.

In summary, only those corporations that have a comprehensive and diverse energy strategy will be able to create a competitive advantage in the new world of a more resource-efficient and low-carbon economy.

Energy mix has become a strategic issue at the C-suite level of billion-dollar corporations as a significant — and rising — share of operating costs go to energy. While reducing

In contrast to company-owned generation, the majority of respondents (68 per cent) purchase some electricity from renewable sources. In terms of total consumption, this population divides itself into those who consume a little and those who use a lot.

Pricing remains a key factor in the adoption of renewable energy. Only 39 per cent of all respondents say that they will pay a premium for renewables, highlighting the importance of achieving grid parity and developing innovative project-financing models.

Nonetheless, as with corporate generation, survey respondents predict growing use of renewables in purchased electricity over the next five years – 46 per cent say that their use will increase, and another 9 per cent say it will increase significantly.

energy with company-owned or controlled resources. The highest number of respondents generate power with photo-voltaic solar (25 per cent), followed by biomass or biogas generation (20 per cent) and the use of biofuels in company fleets (19 per cent). Wind and geothermal have a 7 per cent uptake.

However, renewable energy still makes up a small proportion of total company generation.

Only 11 per cent of respondents say that renewables account for more than 5 per cent of their companies’ total energy production.

Although corporate renewable energy generation can be said to be currently wider than it is deep, this looks set to change: • Across the total survey population, 51 per cent of respondents say that companyowned renewable generation will increase over the next five years.

• Another 16 per cent expect renewable generation to significantly increase.

This suggests that additional corporations will test the waters of renewable generation in the near future, and the ones testing it will become more deeply involved.

Country Reports: EAST India’s off grid success Around c.75m of India’s 226m households don’t have a connection to a power grid.

Local community off-grid expansion looks to be a possible answer to meet increased demand in an economy striving for growth.

Off-grid systems helped one third of the population escape July’s massive blackouts, and there have been calls for more government support. However when the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) announced a solar power road map in 2010 the target for 2022 stood at a mere 2GW and the target for national grid connected solar projects stood at 20GW. Renewable energy could meet this demand

and reduce the country’s reliance on coal imports. However with little government support many observers in the sector see this as a missed opportunity for Asia’s thirdlargest economy. The Central Electricity Agency reported that India would experience a 10 per cent peak power shortage in the next fiscal year, with excess demand and a frail infrastructure the catalyst.

Over $10bn is invested in grid-connected solar projects in India but it is difficult to even get connected to the national grid due to poor transmission and distribution infrastructure. KPMG’s Santosh Kamath believes that in the much-vaunted race to grid parity where the price of solar power is equal to that of conventional grids, off-grid solar

power looks the likely winner in India, as alternative such like diesel are more expensive. He goes on to say that even in the cities, roof-top generation units may become cheaper than the national grid by 2017.

In light of this, efficient integration of renewable energy and off-grid appears to be a viable longer-term strategy. However in the short and medium term, stabilising the energy market is the priority. n

China’s Solar zombies will be eaten up Coal consumption in China is set to account for more than half of global demand on a per-capita basis by 2014.

This figure flies in the face of the low-carbon emissions agenda of many countries, as coal will surpass oil as the world’s top fuel in a decade. The by-product of China’s economic growth has been the creation of much of the world’s pollution, as industrialized nations take advantage of China’s low manufacturing costs. Together with its growing population there is disequilibrium between supply and demand, which China must tackle.

As a nation with centralised decision-making, it has been quick to implement policy, and overall huge gains have been made in emissions efficiency and in the solar energy markets. The National Energy Administration (NEA) towards the end of last year gave the green light to the government’s solar capacity targets of 21GW by 2015 and 50GW by 2050 that international observers believe may be

conservative given current growth rates.

order to reshape the sector.

The primary strategy in the face of global pressure, excess supply and falling prices in the solar energy markets has been streamlining and consolidation. It appears they have taken to heart the words of Chairman Mao: ‘Be resolute, fear no sacrifice, and surmount every difficulty to win victory’.

The victims of consolidation will be the ‘solar zombies’ – companies which manufacture below 300 MW of capacity and currently rely heavily on government subsidies. Green Tech Media (GTM) reports that 54 Chinese companies will no longer be trading by 2015.

The Development Bank (CDA) announced that it would support 12 solar companies whilst keeping a tight rein on manufacturing capacity expansion. It was recently announced that a $1.6bn credit line has been extended to Sky Solar Holdings, a Shanghaibased PV power developer, covering everything including debt, loan and equity in

Whilst the next 12 months will be about restructuring and consolidation of the industry, it has meant that the medium and long-term prospects are stabilizing. In the short term the entrepreneurial Chinese energy companies are looking to emerging markets, such as Africa and South America, to sell their wares and take advantage of favourable energy policies and spare capacity. n

Russia school report says could do better

Japan’s post-Fukushima future

In 2009 President Medvedev took measures to promote renewable energy by setting a target of 4.5 per cent of energy generation to come from renewable resources by 2020.

However it is unlikely that Russia will meet these targets unless new legislation is brought in. Without subsidies or tax advantages and together with a lack of awareness or education many cannot see a way for Russia to move forward in renewables. Moreover much of the grids and storage facilities date from the Soviet era and are in desperate need of renewal.

Like many countries with low-cost traditional resources, the huge accessible oil and natural gas make fuel production very cheap leaving little incentive for change.

It is still ranked fifth in the list of world renewable energy producers. Hydro sources are where Russia has caught up. They generate 15 per cent of the country’s energy production, mostly from hydroelectric power stations. Whilst some strides are being made in biofuels, geothermal, solar and tidal, it appears wind is the next most dynamic sector.

There has been an investment of $200m in the country’s biggest wind farm in the Black Sea region of Kranodar with 100MW, but whilst commercial operation was meant to begin last year yet again bureaucratic roadblocks and funding ambiguities have delayed the project until 2014.

The cost of traditional energy sources is combined with government apathy and public indifference. n

Shinzo Abe and the LDP election win casts doubt over Japans commitment to renewable energy in the wake of 2011.

2011’s chain of events which began with the 9.03 T�hoku earthquake, followed by a tsunami and which culminated in the Fukushima nuclear plant disaster ripped Japan’s core. A once compliant society made a stand for change. However Japan’s recently elected LDP party looks set to scrap the outgoing DJP party’s policy to withdraw from nuclear energy by the 2030 and move to renewable energy.

Kan Naoto, Japan’s PM in 2011 attracted 33,695 renewable projects worth about $2bn using Feed-In-Tariffs (FIT) as a driver. Led by local banks and credit unions as institutional conduits channelling the flow, Japanese financiers opened their doors to the sector.

Many believe the new government would be foolish to forget.

It will be interesting to see how the LDP deals with the public demand for a full nuclear phase-out. The LDP may find local politics, public opposition and intervention from a new and more independent-minded safety regulator difficult.

The previous government’s energy policy was in reality non-committal with few clear details on how to achieve aims, how quickly to proceed and how to reconcile contradictions along the way. It was also filled with contradictions and escape clauses, and made no legal requirement for central and local governments to adhere.

Two of Japan’s 50 reactors have now resumed activity, with plans to approve further reactor restarts once NRC declares they are safe. And once reactors are restarted, plant operators could step up their opposition to abolishing nuclear energy. Many believe that this could slow a nationwide drive to reduce energy use, and sap momentum towards a nuclear-free future.

2013 should be a very interesting year in Japanese politics. n
