3 Global Energy Solutions Are Enormously Challenging Energy Security Economic Secure supply Productivity Reliability Growth in demand Price volatility Vulnerability or Opportunity Environmental Impact Land and water use Carbon emissions
4 U.S. Energy Flow, 2006 (Quads) 85% of primary energy is from fossil fuels Residential Domestic 67% Supply 105 Quads Fossil 85% Consume 100 Quads Commerical Industrial Imports 33% Nuclear 8% Renewable 7% Transportation 4
5 U.S. Energy Flow, 2006 (Quads) >70% of primary energy for the transportation sector and >60% of primary energy for electricity generation/use is lost Source: LLNL 2008; data are based on DOE/EIA-0384(2006). Credit should be given to LLNL and DOE. 5
6 U.S. Energy Flow, 1950 (Quads) At midcentury, the U.S. used 1/3 of the primary energy used today and with greater overall efficiency.
7 Correlation between CO 2 Concentrations and Temperature The current concentration is the highest in 800,000 years, as determined by ice core data a The 800,000-year records of atmospheric carbon dioxide (red; parts per million, p.p.m.) and methane (green; parts per billion, p.p.b.) from the EPICA Dome C ice core together with a temperature reconstruction (relative to the average of the past millennium) based on the deuterium hydrogen ratio of the ice, reinforce the tight coupling between greenhouse-gas concentrations and climate observed in previous, shorter records. The 100,000-year sawtooth variability undergoes a change about 450,000 years ago, with the amplitude of variation, especially in the carbon dioxide and temperature records, greater since that point than it was before. Concentrations of greenhouse gases in the modern atmosphere are highly anomalous with respect to natural greenhouse-gas variations (present-day concentrations are around 380 p.p.m. for carbon dioxide and 1,800 p.p.b. for methane). b The carbon dioxide and methane trends from the past 2,000 years. Ed Brook, Nature 453, 291 (2008).
8 So, Energy/Environment Solutions Require: 4. Electric Energy Storage 5. Electricity Transmission and Distribution 6. Fuel Switching 1. Zero-net-emissions emissions Electricity Generation 8. Conservation 3. CCS 3. CCS 7. End-use Efficiency 2. Fuel Switching Source: LLNL 2008; data are based on DOE/EIA-0384(2006). Credit should be given to LLNL and DOE. 8
9 Global New Investment in Clean Energy 1% of global fixed asset investment 10.5% of global energy industry infrastructure investment 2.5 times the size of commercial aircraft investment sector Adjusted for reinvestment. Geared re-investment assumes a 1 year lag between VC/PE/Public Markets funds raised and re-investment in projects.
