2 What is Sustainable Energy? Energy from non-exhaustible resources serves present needs without compromising ability of future generations to meet their needs hydro, solar, wind, wave power, geothermal energy Technologies that promote sustainable energy technologies designed to improve energy efficiency Energy for our Children s Children - The Future of Power Renewable energy will not run out. Ever. Other sources of energy are finite and will some day be depleted Environmental Benefits much lower environmental impact than conventional energy technologies Energy Security** Reducing Dependence / Promoting Independence Economic Benefits Reduce operating costs relating to reliance on diesel gensets

3 Garden Island Wave Power Dept of Defence First demonstration of a complete grid-connected CETO system anywhere in the world. The only wave project to consist of more than one wave unit connected together 5 Units The only wave project to produce both power and desalinated water. CETO Technology characteristics include: Converts ocean wave energy into zero-emission electricity and desalinated water. Environmentally friendly, has minimal visual impact and attracts marine life. Fully-submerged in deep water, away from breaking waves and beachgoers, and unaffected by storms. Named after a Greek sea goddess, CETO offers the potential to revolutionise power and water production globally. CETO harnesses the enormous renewable energy present in our ocean's waves and converts it into two of the most valuable commodities underpinning the sustainable growth of the planet; zero-emission electricity and zero-emission desalinated water.

30 Road Map for Japan In April 2014, the Strategic Energy Plan was approved by the Cabinet, and it states that it is essential for Japan to formulate a road map toward the realization of a hydrogen society. In line with the plan, the Council compiled views on: how Japan would be able to make use of hydrogen, goals to be achieved in each step of manufacturing, transportation and storage of hydrogen, and collaborative efforts among industry, academia and government for achieving these goals, into a road map with clear time frames attached, taking into account the significance of an initiative for disseminating hydrogen energy. Highlights of the road map Concerning the utilization of hydrogen, Ministry for Economy Trade & Industry focused on the difference in time periods required for solving technical challenges and for securing economic efficiency, and decided to advance efforts by categorizing them into three phases, as follows: Phase 1: Expanding the scope of applications for fuel cell technology, e.g., fuel cells for households and fuel cell vehicles (which have been brought into use recently), and aiming to achieve dramatic energy conservation as well as acquiring a new global market (scheduled to begin in 2014); Phase 2: In terms of the supply side measures, establishing a system for supplying hydrogen using unconventional energy resources imported from other countries, while, for the demand side, aiming to enhance energy security measures, keeping an eye on full-fledged introduction of hydrogen power generation (time frame: putting the technology into practice by the late 2020s); and Phase 3: Targeting the establishment of a carbon-dioxide-free hydrogen supply system using renewable and other energy (time frame: putting the technology into practice around 2040).
