Low Carbon Technology Options

Transcription

1 Welcome to the Brooklyn, New York Technology & Market Assessment Forum October 6-8, 2010 New York Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge New Product & Business Development: Low Carbon Technology Options

2 The Future of Energy Energy Solutions Center - Technology & Market Assessment Forum October 8, 2010 Place your chosen image here. The four corners must just cover the arrow tips. For covers, the three pictures should be the same size and in a straight line. Christopher A. Cavanagh, PE Principal Engineer Energy Products Donald Chahbazpour Director - Sustainable Gas Group

3 Agenda Introduction (Future of Energy) Technology as the solution to global climate change Efficiency: The lowest cost energy resource Sustainable fuels and renewables, large & small Convergence with transportation Smart Grid and for gas too Current example: Renewable Pipeline Gas Donald Chahbazpour Director Renewable Gas 4

4 Energy Market is evolving Traditional Energy Market - supply driven Today s Evolving Market - customer driven Customers focus on economic and environmental value, using a wider range of products and services Large centralised generation Small range of conventional technologies Static infrastructure Nuclear power station Hydroelectric power Coal/gas fired power station $$$ Energy volume drives energy company revenue Gas production Domestic Industrial and commercial Electricity flows to users, and surplus from distributed generation flows back to grid + Storage Intermittency management Micro wind Micro CHP Solar water heating Heat Pumps Smart metering Smart network technology rolled out Efficient Boilers + Micro Biomass Storage Natural Gas Hydrogen CO2 Biogas Heat Energy flows to users Energy flows to users Technology choice proliferates Industrial and commercial Price and reliability are main determinants of customer choice Onshore and offshore wind Hydroelectric power $$$ Nuclear power station CO2 emission reduction and wider energy services drives energy company revenue CCS plant (coal/gas) Large scale CHP and biomass CO 2 transport and storage Gas production 5

6 Technology as the Solution to Global Climate Change $50 Billion capital investment required annually in the US 7

7 Efficiency the lowest cost energy resource Utility energy efficiency programs Incentives Turn-key services Financing Pilot programs (e.g. Deep energy retrofit pays a 75% reimbursement for 50% energy savings) Technology demonstrations New Technologies Outdoor LED lighting High-efficiency-steam boilers (e.g. 94% Superboiler ) Micro-combined heat & power SI engines Strling engines Fuel cells (PEM & SOFC) (US, UK & Japan) The energy efficiency measures installed in the electric and gas programs, combined, are estimated to provide $6 billion in benefits and almost $3.9 billion in net economic benefits Plug Power PEM Fuel Cell at Union College Schenectady, NY ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year Energy Efficient Program Delivery Super Boiler at Richardson Brands Candy, Canajoharie, NY 8

8 Sustainable fuels & renewables large & small Solar & wind PV & thermal and hybrid panels Dispersed solar & wind New solar hot water (GTI) Renewable Pipeline Gas Dispersed wind & PV Pre-carbon sequestration (Hydrogen Enriched Natural Gas) Plasma separation of solid carbon from natural gas Net carbon abatement cost of $12 per tons vs. $40-60 per ton for post combustion CCS Potential National Grid demonstrations in NY & UK 1.3 MW from 6,300 utility-owned solar panels planed for Dorchester, MA 9

9 Convergence with Transportation Compressed Natural Gas National Grid delivers 30 Million gasoline gallons equivalent annually to more than 4,000 commercial vehicles at 40 stations. CNG technology still advancing: New CNG hydraulic hybrid garbage truck being tested in NYC. Hydrogen and blends from many sources Plug-in Hybrid & Battery Electric Vehicles Evaluation of interactivity of PHEV s and BEV s in NY included in National Grid s Smart Grid Pilot. Proposed Northeast Low-Carbon Fuel Standard Would regulate carbon intensity of fuels sold by motor fuel distributors (gco 2 e/mj). Low carbon heating fuels may generate credits.
