Top business case for renewables

Masdar CEO, Dr Ahmad Belhoul, shares the financial benefits of green energy In his welcome address to the World Future Energy Summit (WFES), Dr Ahmad Belhoul, CEO of Masdar, was upbeat about the financial opportunities, as well as the environmental benefits, of renewable energy.

“The economic case for renewables is clear,” Dr Belhoul told WFES. “Let’s all use this global platform to take action.”

“Nowhere is the business potential greater [for renewable development and investment] than in the Middle East and North Africa,” said Dr Belhoul. He cited Jordan’s first wind power project, Morocco’s target of more than 50 per cent renewables in its energy mix by 2030, and the UAE’s target of 24 per cent renewables by 2021 as examples of the growth and commitment to alternative forms of energy in the region. He said that a report into renewable energy by IRENA estimated that doubling the use of renewables by 2030 could potentially create 24 million jobs.

Dr Belhoul said there has been a “dramatic improvement in the cost-competitiveness of renewable energy”, with the price of solar PV technology falling by 75 per cent and the price of wind turbines falling by 30 per cent.

expands. As countries recognise the need to develop renewable energy, Dr Belhoul said “we are now past the point of reflection.”

He called for “greater innovation in the financial sector” and said that “investment targets must double” to ensure the renewable energy industry

Describing the UAE as a “global energy leader”, Dr Belhoul said that WFES is now “the world’s most influential business platform for renewable energy.”

ABB to help build 50MW solar capacity in Jordan renewable energy sources, such as solar, to the national energy supply.

ABB has helped co-design the plants with a complete solution, using the company’s equipment, as required by the grid operator (NEPCO). The project is scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 2016.

Under the agreement, ABB will be responsible for the manufacture, supply, and commissioning of 45 central inverters (ULTRA), 24 36kV compartments on skid (MVCS), Plant Power Controller (PPC), and 36kV delivery stations, which will ensure safe and reliable connection to the national electricity network. In addition, ABB signed a service agreement to train Martifer Solar’s operations and maintenance (O&M) technicians on specialised O&M of its inverters.

“ABB is proud to play an important role in helping Jordan reach its

The ABB stand at WFES ambitious renewable energy targets set for 2020,” said Ahmad Alhussein, Local Manager, Discrete Automation and Motion. “These innovative and technologically advanced solar projects are a big first step toward boosting Jordan’s energy security and reducing its reliance on imported oil and gas.”

Enviromena powers ahead in MENA Enviromena, leading EPC contractor of solar PV power systems, sees good prospects for its business in the Middle East as a result of the growth of solar in the region.

“Over the last two years, we have seen the cost of solar technology drop dramatically to the extent that it is competitive with or cheaper than traditional forms of generation,” says Sander Trestain, Executive Director – Projects at Enviromena. “So now many regional utilities and governments are upping the amounts of solar they’re adding into their grids. It’s not just that it’s a clean, carbon-neutral form of electricity, it’s also a logical economic choice.

Unsurprisingly then there’s been a huge increase in the size and number of solar power plants being tendered, developed and built across the region, with programmes underway to ensure a steady roll-out of solar projects.”

Dubai offers particularly good prospects for the company as a result of its rooftop programme. “This is a metering scheme, so you can put solar on the roof of your home or business and decrease your DEWA bill according to the amount of energy generated. It’s an effective and simple scheme to generate power and decrease your bill. The most compelling case for solar is on large roofs such as factories and industrial buildings where a modest investment in solar can result in significant savings. So we can expect to see a significant increase in the number of roof top solar systems installed in the near future.” To date, the company has built around 30 rooftop systems in the UAE. Jordan also offers promising opportunities. “Firstly, electricity demand is growing significantly, and some of the fuel from conventional

generation has seen some disruption, so there is a need to bring more electricity on to the grid. Solar is an economically smart choice to fill a significant portion of the demand.

There is now a real charge scheme which offers incentives for roof-top and ground-mounted systems.

Secondly there are significant projects being developed; around 200MW of IPP projects have been designated to developers.”

Last year, the company won a major project in Jordan, the construction of the 103 MW Al Quweira solar plant.

This will bring a a considerable amount of electricity to the Jordan grid, and will be in the top 20-30 solar PV plants in the world, says Trestain.

Since its incorporation in Abu Dhabi in October 2007, Enviromena has grown to become the largest solar developer in the MENA region.

It has completed 38 projects across nine countries with five more currently under construction, and it has attracted a broad base of leading international cleantech investors including Masdar.

“We’re spreading our footprint widely across the region. In the short term Jordan and the UAE will be the most interesting markets to watch, but long-term, solar is set to grow across the region as a whole,” concludes Trestain.

Marco Alves, Operations & Maintenance Business Director, Martifer Solar said: “This service agreement established with ABB, including the training of our O&M technicians in operating and maintaining the ABB inverters, is an important milestone for the company and an important step towards proficiency, in line with our global strategy of providing highly reliable O&M services worldwide.”

One of the four solar plants (the 20 MW Jordan Solar One) will be the largest plant connected to NEPCO in the Al Mafraq area; the other three solar plants are 10 MW in size and will be located in Al Ward Al Joury, Al Zahrat Al Salam and Al Zanbaq, near the south-central Jordanian city of Ma’an.

Abu Dhabi project to lead the way in biofuels for aviation industry

A pioneering Abu Dhabi-based aquaculture project is expected to pave the way for the development of sustainable biofuels for the aviation industry.

The project, which involves the Sustainable Bioenergy Research Consortium (SBRC), with Masdar, Etihad Airways and Boeing, is aiming to use a class of plants called halophytes in the production of jet fuel.

Halophytes have been chosen for this UAE-based project because they thrive on seawater and can use wastes produced in aquaculture production. These characteristics make halophytes ideal for use in harsh UAE conditions, where the lack or arable land and fresh water presents challenges.

The SBRC team is testing an integrated seawater agriculture systems approach that will focus on the production of food and fuel. This is a means of addressing the issue of biofuels impacting on food security.

ABB has secured a contract with Martifer Solar, the Portugal-based global developer of solar PV projects, to supply 50 MW solar capacity in Jordan. The deal covers four solar plants, located near the cities of Ma’an and Mafraq.

Jordan imports 96 per cent of all its energy at an annual cost of $3.6 billion, or 13.5 per cent of the country’s GDP. The Master Strategy of the Energy Sector in Jordan has set a target of 1,800 MW, or 10 percent of the country’s energy supply, to come from renewable sources in 2020.

This strategy calls for 600 MW of this new capacity to be provided by solar power.

Jordan’s annual daily average solar irradiance is among the world’s highest, and the country’s National Energy Strategy includes ambitious targets to increase the contribution of

DAILY NEWS | DAY 3 | 20 JANUARY 2016

Wermuth Asset Management launches second green investment fund Ahead of his address at WFES, Jochen Wermuth, Chief Investment Officer of Wermuth Asset Management (WAM), announced the launch of Green Gateway Fund 2.

The fund, which follows on from Green Gateway Fund 1, has a target size of $271 million and it will focus on companies in the field of renewable energy and resource efficiency.

In particular, the Middle East will be a focus of the fund, with WAM looking to actively support its portfolio companies in high-growth markets.

The fund also aims to create an attractive environment for growth investments in Europe.

“In the Middle East, the Green Gateway Fund 2 is directed towards institutional, HNWI and family offices who wish their investments to be not only climate-friendly but also, at the

same time, to generate attractive returns,” said Mr Wermuth.

It is expected that individual investors will contribute between $5.4 million and $32.6 million into portfolio companies which demonstrate high growth potential and which, on the basis of proven business models, stand to make significant contributions to energy and resource efficiency. The companies which will benefit from the new investment can expect to be actively supported by WAM over the course of the relationship.

Examples of the companies that may be targeted for investment include renewable energy firms, electromobility developers, electric power storage facilities, and smart grid technology pioneers. The average holding period for investments should be in the range of four to five years.

“The environment for growth investments in Europe continues to be extremely favourable. In recent years, there has been a stronger investment emphasis on the buyout sector,” said Mr Wermuth. “Valuations in the growth sector thus remain particularly attractive, in part also because Basel III has caused banks to reduce lending to these growth companies.”

Green Gateway Fund 2 is slated to build on the success of Green Gateway Fund 1, which focused on European investment. The first fund invested in four portfolio companies which have, on average, grown at a rate of 30 per cent annually.

Among the first fund’s holdings is Aquarion Water Group, an international provider of advanced water solutions. Aquarion is located in Germany, Italy and the UK, and it

GE steps up commitment to clean technology GE is accelerating its Ecomagination programme with a commitment to invest $10 billion in clean energy R&D from 2015-2020 and to further reduce its own environmental footprint. It is also launching eight new industrial partnerships.

Ecomagination is GE’s business strategy to develop cleaner technology solutions for its customers, delivering economic value and improving environmental performance.

Launched in 2005, it has helped to

solve energy, efficiency, transportation and water challenges.

Debora Frodl, Global Executive Director, Ecomagination, said: “We are very proud with the results of our programme. Our $15billion investment in cleaner technology R&D through 2015 returned US$200bn to GE through the Ecomagination portfolio, proving that our customers really prioritise these technologies. We have also exceeded our targets, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 36 per

cent and water use by 42 per cent.”

The eight new partnerships with “likeminded innovation and sustainability-focused” industryleading companies, will, says Frodl, represent a major focus of the Ecomagination strategy through to 2020. These include partnerships with Intel, to reduce energy and water use in manufacturing; with Total, to develop a new hybrid gas and solar energy system for the developing world; with BHP Billiton to reduce emissions in their operations; with Walmart to improve efficiency within their operations and supply chain; with MWH Global to scale industrial and municipal water re-use in partnership with Goldman Sachs; and with Statoil to work on sustainable solutions for oil and gas production, such as water re-use and a reduction in flare gas emissions.

Marking a further development of its strategic partnership with Masdar, GE will work with the company to implement the first complete energyneutral wastewater treatment process and scale the solution across the region, helping to reduce the carbon footprint of wastewater treatment and expand the availability of treated water for re-use.

“We want to make sure that everything we do we can scale commercially in a big way,” says Frodl.

GE is showcasing its advanced suite of digital industrial technologies that help promote energy sector efficiency at WFES. Debora Frodl is also speaking at the conference session on ‘Accelerating progress towards a new carbon future’ today and at the Egypt Energy Forum tomorrow.

follows a buy-and-build strategy to expands its own portfolio.

Green Gateway Fund 1’s other portfolio companies are The Mobility House, a leading European electromobility provider; Latvia-based Primekss, a builder of industrial concrete floors; and OTI Greentech, a Swiss business which specialises in sustainable cleaning, recovery and waste treatment solutions for the oil and gas industry.

The new fund’s management team will consist of Mr Wermuth, as well as other senior WAM partners, Casper Heijsteeg and Michael Ludwig. Mr Heijsteeg and Mr Ludwig already manage Green Gateway Fund 1. ● Mr Wermuth will be speaking tomorrow at 11:15am on hot markets in the renewable energy industry.

New Energy Efficiency Expo to launch at WFES 2017 Preparations are already underway for the 2017 WFES. Yesterday, Masdar CEO, Dr Ahmad Belhoul, announced the addition of the Energy Efficiency Expo to next year’s programme.

It will be an annual, co-located exhibition, conference and business-matchmaking event.

Energy-efficient buildings, transportation and manufacturing will be prominent at the inaugural expo. The expo will aim to create more public-private partnerships for energy efficiency projects.

“The Energy Efficiency Expo will encourage further collaboration and entrepreneurship at the intersection of water and energy, promoting the business case for sustainability,” said Dr Belhoul.

Echoing the sentiments of his welcome address yesterday, he said Masdar has demonstrated that “sustainability does not cost more” and that it is vital to reduce energy consumption to meet demand in the MENA region. Demand for energy in the region is expected to double by 2030, according to a report by NBAD, PwC and the University of Cambridge.

H.E Dr Nasser Saidi, Chairman of the Clean Energy Business Council, said: “Energy efficiency is the low-hanging fruit, it is one of the least expensive but most effective ways to solve the Middle East and North Africa’s skyrocketing energy demand.”

DAILY NEWS | DAY 3 | 20 JANUARY 2016

NBAD announces $10 billion commitment to sustainable business National Bank of Abu Dhabi (NBAD) has committed to lend, invest and facilitate a total of US$10 billion of financing within the next 10 years to projects focussed on environmentally sustainable activities.

The commitment, which is a first for a GCC bank, supports the research from NBAD’s: ‘Financing the Future of Energy Report’, which identified a funding gap of US$48 trillion dollars required in the next 20 years to meet global energy demand, with renewables playing a critical role in the energy mix of the future. Last year, NBAD set up the Sustainable Business team to facilitate this new scheme.

The team will evaluate and create new financing products that will support the development of renewable energy and sustainable businesses – this commitment forms the first of

these initiatives. Additionally, the team will embark on an engagement programme with regulators, policy makers and industry players to capture up to date market trends and promote continued partnership between the financial sector and environmentally sustainable businesses.

Alex Thursby, Group CEO of NBAD, said: “We believe that even in the current climate of low oil prices, the transition towards more renewable sources in the energy mix will continue because the underlying drivers are long term and strong. It is for this reason that we have made this commitment of US$10 billion.”

He continued: “The world is heading towards a very significant funding gap for energy globally.”

In particular, Mr Thursby said thisis true across the West-East Corridor, the

rapidly growing super-region that stretches from Africa through the Middle East to Asia – and filling it is going to be a big task.

The Sustainable Business team will be led by Nathan Weatherstone, Head of Sustainable Business Banking at NBAD. “Our research has identified that there is approximately US$640 billion of investment required for renewable energy projects across the West-East Corridor,” said Mr Weatherstone. “But sustainable business is wider than just renewables and includes activities like clean transportation, sustainable water, waste management and energy efficient real estate.”

Mr Weatherstone described the scale of the opportunity as “significant” and that the goals of the team are “ambitious but much-needed.”

DNV GL announces joint project with UAE Ministry of Energy DNV GL, the energy advisory and certification body, announced details of an eight-month joint project with the UAE Ministry of Energy at WFES. Drawing on its global and regional energy expertise, DNV GL will design and develop a database and energy automation system to help the UAE Ministry of Energy collect information on energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from various sectors and sources across the UAE’s seven emirates. The collected information will bring data from the main stakeholders and public bodies into one portal, and will enable the UAE Ministry of Energy to understand how much energy is being consumed, identify the sources and uses behind it and develop policies and regulations to reduce the consumption of energy and greenhouse gas emissions across the Emirates.

The project will enable stakeholders to upload the collected data onto the system automatically where it is easily accessible to all stakeholders involved in the project. Ultimately the new automated database opens up the chance of more frequent measuring of energy consumption across the UAE. The outputs of this database will ensure that the UAE will be able to efficiently and accurately report its energy consumption and GHG emissions to relevant international organisations, and to the Prime Minister’s office of the UAE. DNV GL has a healthy pipeline of projects in the MENA region, says Mohammed Atif, Area Manager for Africa and the Middle East at DNV GL. In Saudi Arabia, the company is advising the Saudi government on more accurately assessing end-user consumption and efficiency, and

improving load forecasting and management, thereby saving money and making the system more efficient.

“Solar energy is continuing to expand in the UAE, Egypt and Jordan,” said Atif. “We’re also seeing solar activity begin in Saudi Arabia, and it is beginning to penetrate on a regional scale.”

In wind energy, the company is advising Masdar in the UAE, and sees potential in Oman, and Egypt, where the company is advising the National Renewable Energy Association on a 250 MW wind energy tender.

Government policy, sound regulatory frameworks, and competitive bidding

www.worldfutureenergysummit.com

rounds are driving the expansion of renewable energy across the region, says Atif, and COP21 is also acting as an incentive for governments throughout the region to push forward with energy efficiency and renewable energy initiatives.

“Now it is more about responsibility, prestige, and doing the right thing,” he added.

“It’s great to be here at WFES and to see the leadership role the UAE is playing in the transition to a low carbon and more sustainable economy.”

Stand 5120

The team will be working with clients across a range of sectors, according to Mr Weatherstone.

In September 2015, NBAD became the first bank in the UAE to sign up to the Equator Principles, a voluntary set of guidelines based on International Finance Corporation standards on social and environmental sustainability and the World Bank Group's environmental, health and safety guidelines.

According to a company statement, environmental and social risk management is a big priority for NBAD, and the bank will continue to evolve its policies in response to emerging risks and new product development. NBAD is one of the top 10 rated companies across the S&P Hawkamah Pan Arab ESG Index, the Institute for Corporate Governance.

Narrow cost focus may undermine the true value of energy storage A narrow focus on cost alone may be leading to misconceptions about the real value of energy storage. This is according to a new report by the World Energy Council ‘E-storage – Shifting From Cost to Value’.

The report, which focuses on solar and wind energy solutions, found that the focus only on investment costs is leading to the perception that energy storage is more expensive than it actually is because it ignores the system value of stored energy.

Instead, the report calls for the true value of energy storage to be recognised by taking into account its cost and revenue benefits.

It looks at costings across the technology spectrum to conclude that the widely used levelised cost of energy methodology hinders the progress of energy storage.

The analysis found “double trouble” with methodology, namely arbitrariness which does not allow for differences in application cases.

Christoph Frei, Secretary General of the World Energy Council, said: “Energy storage is a critical catalyst of the energy transition whose benefits are still undervalued. The costs have already come down, but will have to fall further for a much broader roll-out and use in household and e-mobility.

Ravi Seethapathy, Executive Chairman, Biosirus Tell us about Biosirus and the products it brings to the marketplace.

Biosirus is a small Canadian company with a global footprint that looks to the future and tends to shape best practices and solution-sets in the energy area.

We tend to look beyond today’s horizons and offer insights which makes business sense. Energy efficiency, renewable energy integration, energy storage and microgrids frame our near-term focus.

Our mainstay is our advisory practice to utilities, government and industry, but we have in the recent past influenced very advanced technologies in the above areas from the best of such minds globally. We firmly believe that conservation does not mean lower quality of life or sacrifices, but rather wise choices for one's own use and the greater good of this planet.

Today have a suite of technology solutions in industrial, commercial and municipal lighting, achieving up to 75 per cent energy savings, and HVAC-R, achieving up to 45 per cent energy savings, mostly all aimed at the retrofit market. This year, we introduced small pico and nano off-grid systems for rural applications. These can seamlessly integrate solar PV, small-wind and batteries and can be “daisy chained” for power scalability as the need grows.

Each of these solutions have been carefully thought out with the future imperatives in mind.

A very recent development is in the area of demand-controlled ventilation or indoor parking garages which manages air-changes based on realtime CO emissions, as against fixed air-changes. The energy savings are huge when there is little traffic inside.

We think of small differentiated details from the global customer's perspective. Non-traditional partnership channels offer best business prospects and ideas. We scout the world for such best technology partnerships. Often, small is beautiful.

What does your work with the Toronto Atmospheric Fund involve?

The Toronto Atmospheric Fund is a non-profit corporation of the City of Toronto. It began in 1991 as a bold idea in Toronto to look for solutions to reduce GHGs and air pollution. TAF has grown substantially today, co-investing in practical aspect of understanding community needs, introducing pathways to new technology implementation, overcoming traditional barriers, undertaking pilot projects, and new ways of socially-responsible, riskadjusted market-return based investing.

This unique understanding and experience paves the way for global smart cities programmes, that is, where people spend less time commuting, spend less money on energy costs and the fallout of extreme weather events, and breathe cleaner air.

Why is the World Future Energy Summit an important event?

The WFES brings together the world’s thought leaders on energy and its nexus with other linked industries such as water, effluent treatment, buildings, societal development and health. Each year, it

emphasises certain areas of focus which requires attention. In the past, despite the MENA region being low-cost oil and gas producers, WFES has pushed for a renewable energy focus. This year, the focus is on energy efficiency, smart cities and COP21.

The single biggest GHG emitter in the energy sector is fossil-fueled generation and fossil-fueled utilisation, such as transportation and heating. The maximisation of much more renewables in our energy mix will be required to achieve our collective goals for our planet. It will not be easy, but we must try.

What will you be talking about at the World Future Energy Summit?

What future plans does Biosirus have?

I will be talking about the importance of MENA region adopting the best of renewable energy and energy efficiency. The MENA hot climate, together with its large commercial spaces, currently have

Our future plans are to continue down the path of technology solutions and development in the bigger, wider energy eco-system and its connected nexus, such as water, buildings, garbage, transportation. Any

Just as weight loss is essential for good health, energy efficiency and conservation are essential for sustainability.

Ravi Seethapathy, - Executive Chairman, Biosirus a large cooling and lighting load. Both these energy footprints can be reduced through new technologies, primarily in retrofit. New building codes merely influence upcoming buildings, but existing stock needs to be dealt with immediately. Retrofits can save up to 75 per cent energy and have a very quick paybacks. The rising electricity tariffs in MENA region now makes such technology adoption invaluable.

Another focus is the introduction of hybrid renewable energy solutions in our everyday use. The fossil displacement is now much more pronounced with renewable energy mix. Just as weight loss is essential for good health, energy efficiency and conservation are essential for sustainability.

What role can governments play in increasing the use of renewables?

Policy, and hence governments, play a vital role in shaping the future needs of communities and societies. Major infrastructure like railways, airports, roadways, buildings, waterways, transportation vehicles and other such common elements have always been a subject of vital policy requirements.

Over the last 100 years, this planet has been influenced by many such policy changes, mostly good but some retrograde. Thus, despite the explosive growth in global populations we have managed to keep this planet from bursting at its seams, until now.

Reducing carbon emissions in every which way from our lives needs to become our number one priority.

This will mean changes in our lifestyle, changes in urban designs, changes in mass and personal transportation and in water use – all with a view to cut GHG emissions and hence energy use. To meet these objectives, very unpopular policy changes may need to be enforced by governments.

cost-effective hybrid solution that intersects with energy efficiency, renewable or bio-waste integration and real-time control will be interesting to us. The smaller the unit size the better, as it can be distributed easily with little common infrastructure.

We are working with partners in the development of very low cost revenue grade smart meters, primarily to meet the needs of sub-metering systems, as well as smaller, unitised bio-waste generators for load displacement, cladding materials for building envelopes for the hot climatic areas of the world, and lightweight structural materials for cheap housing. ● Ravi Seethapathy is the Executive Chairman, Biosirus Inc (www.biosirus.com) and a board member of Toronto Atmospheric Fund (www.taf.ca)

Michelle Davies, Partner and Head of Clean Energy & Sustainability, Eversheds Why is the World Future Energy Summit an important event?

It is important because it focuses on the key issues and opportunities facing the new energy market, it brings the key decision makers together from Governments, to innovators, to developers and investors and funders and importantly it focuses on being positive – what can be done to bring about effective change for the good.

What will you be talking about at the World Future Energy Summit?

I am chairing two important sessions. The first is looking at which new markets are likely to provide the best opportunities for renewable energy growth and the second is looking at the Egyptian market and what, if anything, needs to be done to help investors continue to focus on renewable energy investments.

With the Egypt Energy Forum taking place tomorrow, Egypt will be a high profile country at this year’s summit.

Egypt has enjoyed significant focus from the international investor community and this session will be important to help identify what needs to be done so that it can continue its renewable energy programme in a sustainable and productive way.

The Paris agreement has been a big topic of conversation at the summit.

What impact do you think the COP21 agreement will have on increasing the uptake of renewable energy sources around the world?

We need to understand how the agreements reached will be implemented but I and my team are hopeful and optimistic that this key collaboration has come at exactly the right time.

Above all else, it demonstrates a global understanding not only of the need to take greater care of our environment and the need for quite precise action if we are to avoid temperature increase beyond a critical point but also of the wider good that a renewables focused energy market can bring both in terms of safety, alleviating fuel poverty and creating wealth.

What role do you think governments should play in moving towards renewable energy?

What about other regions, such as the rest of Asia, Africa and the MENA region?

My firm view is that governments need to focus on the longer term and avoid the short term approach which tends to dominate many energy markets.

The rest of South Asia is benefiting from this and a number of new markets including Bangladesh and Indonesia, to name just two, are now key areas of

Governments should have the courage to face up to this and help encourage investment which in turn can create growth opportunities internally and externally in other markets.

Michelle Davies, - Partner and Head of Clean Energy & Sustainability, Eversheds Do you think that governments can be effective in taking a long-term approach to energy policy?

focus. African countries continue to create a number of new opportunities and of course the MENA region remains buoyant with some very large, ambitious and creative plans.

I appreciate that this is not always easy particularly in democracies where governments are having to think about winning the next election or in any country for that matter where a low cost of energy is prioritised.

But renewable and efficient energy is clearly going to dominate our markets in the future.

Do you have any other words of advice for governments in regard to energy policy?

Governments should have the courage to face up to this and help encourage investment which in turn can create growth opportunities internally and externally in other markets.

What role do you think the private sector should play in moving towards renewable energy?

Keep doing what it has been doing. By this, I mean continuing to be innovative, focused on bringing cost down and considered about the wider impact their investments can have on communities and individual quality of life.

Can you elaborate on the impact of the timing of the COP21 agreement given current global energy market conditions?

What are some of the exciting developments in clean energy that are taking place in emerging markets?

This has come at just the right time as we are experiencing quite profound disruption in many energy markets coupled with technology improvements which have the capacity to further completely change the way we approach power generation and supply.

We always expected 2015 to be disruptive but not quite to the extent that it has been and we fully expect this to continue.

India and China present quite literally huge opportunities but more probably needs to be done if international investment is to play a key role.

DEWA takes 21 approaches for Al Maktoum Solar Park contract The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) has received 21 requests for qualification (RFQs) from global energy firms for the third phase of the planned Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park.

The plant will be developed as an independent power producer (IPP), and is the largest single-site solar project in the world.

DEWA say it will produce 1,000MW of electricity by 2020 and 5,000MW by 2030, with a total investment of US$13.6 billion.

The news follows in the wake of Dubai Ruler H.H Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s unveiling of the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 in November, which includes plans for the establishment of a US$27 billion fund to provide cheap loans for investors in clean energy in Dubai.

“At DEWA, we work to achieve the objectives set by the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050, launched by Sheikh Mohammed to make to make Dubai a global centre for clean energy and green economy,” said DEWA CEO Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer. “The strategy also aims to provide seven per cent of Dubai’s energy from clean sources by 2020, 25 per cent by 2030, and 75 per cent by 2050.”

State investment in the research and development of green technology such as smart power grids totalling US$135 million was also announced under the strategy – to be overseen at laboratories in the solar park’s innovation centre.

The solar park project is part of the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy’s vision for Dubai to be “a role model to the world in energy security and

efficiency” under the auspices of the Dubai Integrated Energy Strategy 2030, which was deployed in 2011.

Energy and water demand continues to grow in Dubai and, under the strategy, the plan is to diversify energy sources in the emirate.

By 2030, Dubai’s energy mix is targeted to be 71 per cent gas, 15 per cent solar, seven per cent clean coal, and seven per cent nuclear.

The Supreme Council is the governing body tasked with planning and co-ordinating with relevant organisations and energy bodies to deliver new energy sources while employing a balanced approach to protecting the environment.

UAE capital in energy agreement with Cuban ministry The Abu Dhabi Fund for Development (ADFD) has offered the Cuban government a US$15 million loan to support the generation of clean energy in the country by building renewable power plants.

The funds will be used for the installation of four 10 MW solar parks in different parts of the country, with the aim of providing clean, efficient and uninterrupted electricity to nearly 5,300 Cuban citizens.

ADFD says the project will reduce the cost of energy generation while simultaneously creating jobs in Cuba, while demonstrating the organisation’s commitment to supporting the development of renewable energy around the world.

The agreement was signed by the Cuban Minister for Trade and Foreign Investment H.E Rodrigo Malmierca Díaz and ADFD director general H.E Mohammed Saif Al Suwaidi.

Commenting on the deal, Al Suwaidi said, “ADFD places a high importance on supporting the renewable energy sector, given its profound impact and numerous benefits on the economies of developing countries and their sustainable development.”

The project, which involves the supply and installation of silicon photovoltaic panels to the four plants, forms part of the Cuban government’s overall plan to install around 400 MW of solar power by 2020.

Currently, renewables make up just four per cent of the energy mix in

Cuba's Granma province is making great leaps forward with supplying electricity via renewables Cuba, but the government has set a goal of 24 per cent renewables by 2030. This is an ambitious target, but one Cuban province, Granma is leading the way.

Granma province has a population of 836,000 people and it is located in the eastern part of Cuba. It has 1,628 small off-grid photovoltaic systems supplying power to medical clinics, hospitals, schools, social centres, museums and homes in remote areas without access to grid electricity.

Mini- and micro-hydropower plants are also being used in the river-laden province. Thirty-six such plants are producing electricity for hospitals, schools and homes.

Wind power is being used as well, with 938 windmills pumping water in the province. It is hoped that wind will

also be used to provide energy with data from wind measuring stations indicating that there is potentially more than 800 MW of wind capacity in the province.

Energy from waste is another renewable source utilised on Granma with waste from sugar mills producing electricty. Biomass from sawdust, rice hulls and coffee husks is also converted into energy. Additionally, 127 biodigestors in Granma use animal waste from cows and pigs to produce methane. This is, in turn, used as fuel for cooking and lighting.

Environmental engineers are also trialling the use of jatropha curcas, a non-edible, hardy plant as a source of biofuel for the province.

renewable resources in Dubai’s energy mix and it will contribute to the sustainability of Dubai.

“Electricity is an important part of the infrastructure that helps the sustainable development of any country,” he added. “Therefore we had to develop policies and mechanisms to ensure the availability and reliability of power supply for the current and future generations through the adoption of best practices and effective programmes to ensure efficient management while preserving the environment and ensuring resource sustainability.”

He cited the decision of IRENA to build their headquarters in the UAE as an example of the UAE’s leadership in renewable energy.

Renewable energy as one of the pillars of sustainability Roberto de Diego Arozamena, CEO of Abdul Latif Jameel Energy and Environmental Services, shares his thoughts on the drive towards a greater proportion of renewables in the energy mix in the wake of the COP21 agreement.

With the conclusion of COP21 climate meeting in Paris last month, the world has come to agree that there is a real and urgent need to address climate change. It is the first time that practical steps have been set in place to address the issue, specifically to limit the rise in global temperatures to 2°C. As time passes, the challenge to limit global warming to a maximum of 2°C becomes more difficult to achieve. Emissions from industrial processes, transportation, power generation, heating, cooling, desalination and other human actions continue to grow as population increases and countries improve their standard of living.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has stated that this year the Earth will achieve the hottest average temperatures since records began 136 years ago. Through June, four months had broken the previous high average temperature record.

Renewable energy is one of the many elements that can contribute to lower pollution and, therefore, greenhouse emissions. However, there is an erroneous perception that they are expensive compared to conventional means of power generation. There has been significant discussion regarding the subsidies granted to renewable energy generation in a biased approach that does not consider that other forms of generation are also subsidised.

In the initial stages of adoption of any new technology, costs are higher due to lack of scale. The European tax payers, through their support of wind and solar energy, have done us a great service by facilitating the necessary growth in those technologies that have led to volumes and, therefore, a dramatic reduction in unit cost over that last decade. Now, both wind and solar can produce electricity at very competitive prices, below diesel generation (using world standard diesel prices and not subsidised prices), and competitive with gas and coal generation.

The technical aspects related to the intermittent nature of these forms of renewable energy generation must not be ignored. In order for a stable electricity supply to be guaranteed, for the time being renewable energy must complement conventional, nuclear and hydro generation, often covering peak consumption periods.

I believe that, just as solar technology has reduced costs to 1⁄10 of what they were a decade ago, battery storage systems will follow a similar path and continue to become more competitive. There will be a time when renewable energy coupled with different forms of storage will replace the baseload generation currently covered by conventional generation.

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), worldwide 1.3 billion people – a population equivalent to that of the entire OECD – continue to live without access to electricity. In most cases

14

this is caused by the lack of a viable economic model to bring electrical networks to remote, underprivileged areas. In others, local generation requires the transport of fuel to those areas, resulting in a cost of electricity not affordable to the local population.

We have the collective responsibility to, not only reduce greenhouse emissions to control the increase in temperature, but also have the responsibility to provide electricity to those who, today, don’t have access to it.

Wind and solar renewable energy do not depend on fuel supply to generate electricity. The “fuels” they use, wind and sun are free. In addition, they have reduced operational requirements when compared to other forms of generation.

This is where renewable energy can become a life-changing element to millions of people.

Electricity in remote areas via renewable energy can make those areas more livable and, therefore, reduce migration and displacement of people.

From the capacity to cool medicines, to pumping water, water purification and lighting to improve education, electricity can change the life of those millions of people that lack this basic service.

As the cost of renewable energy continues to fall, its increased use in developed and developing countries grows. However, developing countries have higher costs of generation today.

Renewable energy can already support an overall unit cost reduction in these countries. In addition,

www.worldfutureenergysummit.com

where countries need to import fuel for power generation, renewable energy adds a level of freedom from external sources that helps their trade balances and allows them to address remote areas in a more competitive way, reducing the need to expand electrical networks.

By initially addressing peak consumption times, either with wind in winter or solar in summer, economic growth can be supported with reduced requirements on investment.

We benefit from free sources of energy, wind, sun, geothermal, waves, tides and we have the technology to harness them. These sources are becoming cost competitive and have zero emissions. We must accelerate their adoption in our quest to reduce global warming.

There will be voices against a faster implementation of renewable energy, as there are vested interests in conventional generation infrastructure, electrical networks and fuel supply.

We must find a way to bridge the transition to cleaner power generation by overcoming those obstacles. The environmental benefits are clear and the economic impact is becoming close to neutral to consumers.

Our collective responsibility is to act now. The World can’t afford delayed action. ● Roberto de Diego Arozamena will be speaking at 12:15pm today on new projects in the MENA solar sector.

Reaching India’s ambitious renewable energy targets cost-effectively Increasing the use of renewables in India’s energy mix is a big, but important challenge. By Gireesh Shrimali, Sandhya Srinivasan, Shobhit Goel, Saurabh Trivedi and David Nelson.

India has ambitious targets for renewable energy growth. As part of its Union Budget 2015-2016, India aims to install 60 GW of wind power capacity and 100 GW of solar power capacity by 2022, which is more than six times the current installed capacities of approximately 22 GW and three GW, respectively.

This task is made difficult by the government’s limited budget, constrained by a large fiscal deficit and multiple development priorities. Since government support is required when renewable energy is more expensive than fossil fuels, there is a need for an objective comparison between the levelised costs of electricity from renewables and fossil fuels.

Reducing the use of coal While natural gas is the most expensive fossil fuel, it has very limited availability. Imported coal is the next most expensive fossil fuel, and is also projected to account for 18 per cent of India’s total generation, higher than India’s target of 15 per cent of generation from renewable energy by 2020.

Compared to imported coal, the cost of wind power is already competitive, thus requiring no additional support, and the cost of solar power will be competitive by 2019. We find that wind power is already competitive, meaning the levelised cost of electricity from wind power is the same or lower than that from coal, and would not require any government support.

For solar power, the levelised cost of electricity was 11.79 per cent higher than imported coal in 2015.

However, this gap will narrow over time due to learning effects that drive solar capital costs down while fossil fuels become progressively more expensive, due to inflation and transportation costs.

By 2019, solar power is expected to be cheaper than imported coal-based power.

cost of support by more than 96 per cent to INR1.81 billion (US$26.6 million). Cost of support is the net present (or today’s) value of the sum of federal and state subsidy cash flows and tax losses.

Reduced cost-extended tenor debt has the advantage of enabling the government to recover the cost of support over time through loan repayments, making it possible to reuse this capital to support other projects. The cost of support can be further reduced by accelerating wind deployment in the near term and gradually ramping up solar deployment.

Since wind power is already competitive with fossil fuels, the government should focus on supporting rapid deployment of capacity in the near term to minimise its cost of support. Solar power will become competitive with fossil fuels in 2019. To minimise the cost of government support, solar capacity deployment should be scheduled such that a larger part of the deployment target is met after 2019.

The challenging road ahead India faces serious challenges of climate change and energy security. India’s energy mix is dominated by fossil fuels, with 68 per cent of total power generated from coal. High dependence on imported oil and increasingly, imported coal, large peak power and energy deficits, and high energy intensity oppose challenges to climate change and energy security.

To overcome these challenges, India has set ambitious renewable energy targets. Under the Union Budget 2015-2016, India aims to install 100 GW of solar energy capacity and 60 GW of wind energy capacity by 2022. But this is a difficult task due to the government’s limited budget, constrained by a large fiscal deficit and multiple development priorities.

Renewable energy would require government financial support if it were more expensive than the energy from fossil fuels it would replace. Since renewable energy is perceived to be more expensive than fossil fuels because fossil fuels receive implicit

and explicit subsidies, there is a need for an objective comparison between the levelised costs of electricity from renewable energy and fossil fuels.

Our comparison between the cost of renewables and fossil fuels can provide a fair basis for government planning and budget allocation for renewable energy deployment. In order to estimate the cost of government support needed to achieve India’s renewable energy targets, the unsubsidised, levelised cost of electricity from renewable energy must be compared with a baseline of the levelised cost of electricity from the fossil fuel source it would replace.

Renewable energy will likely replace imported coal, so we use imported coal as the baseline comparison in our study. By forecasting the levelised cost of electricity from renewable energy and from fossil fuels in the absence of any subsidies, we determine the cost of government support required to bridge the difference for renewable energy. We then identify the most cost-effective policies to achieve India’s renewable energy targets.

Over the years, India has put in place progressive policies, both federal and state, to boost the renewables sector. Federal policy support has been in the form of accelerated depreciation, generationbased incentive, and viability gap funding, while state policy support has typically been feed-in tariffs.

In our previous work, we demonstrated that existing federal policy is not the most cost-effective policy choice for supporting renewable energy.

Rather, a combination of reduced cost and government-provided debt to renewable energy projects at a lower cost and higher tenor than markets, would be more cost-effective. ● Reprinted with kind permission from Climate Policy Initiative.

Policy challenges Under current federal policies, the cost of support for meeting India’s renewable energy targets is INR46.97 billion (US$693 million). Since the cost of electricity from wind power is already competitive with fossil fuels, the corresponding cost of government support is zero. Solar power will continue to require policy support. Under existing federal policy which allows developers to use accelerated depreciation for renewable energy assets, in today’s values, the cost of supporting 20 GW of utility scale solar by 2022 is INR46.97 billion.

The cost of support needed to achieve India’s renewable energy targets can be lowered by 96 per cent by using reduced cost-extended tenor debt. We find that, in place of existing federal policy, a combination of reduced cost and extended tenor debt, where the government provides debt at lower cost and higher tenor than markets, can lower the

DAILY NEWS | DAY 3 | 20 JANUARY 2016

The importance of carbon capture technologies Progress is being made but more needs to be done to reap the benefits of CCS. CCS is essential. Even with concerted action by the global community to limit temperature increases to less than 2°C, fossil fuels would still provide 60 per cent of the world’s primary energy by 2040.

Fossil fuels currently provide around 80 per cent of primary energy demand. Demand for fossil fuels has begun to decline in the developed world but demand in developing countries has been rising. Fossil fuel investments made today will lock in emissions sources for at least 30 years. Coal-fired power generation is the largest contributor to CO2 emissions worldwide and provides around 40 per cent of electricity output.

Gas-fired generation is less CO2-intensive but gasfired generators still contribute around 20 per cent of power sector CO2 emissions worldwide.

Carbon dioxide emissions from industrial sources contribute around 25 per cent of global emissions.

CO2 is a by-product of a number of manufacturing processes, including steel, cement and chemicals production. CCS is the only technology which can reduce emissions on a significant scale from fossil fuel power plants and industrial processes. It is important to note that renewable technologies are not mitigation substitutes to CCS in the industrial sector.

To achieve the goal to limit temperature increases to no more than 2°C, the scale of low-carbon technology deployment needed is enormous.

The 15 large-scale CCS projects around the world have the capacity to capture up to 28 million tonnes of CO2 per year. The IEA’s modelling of least-cost outcomes to achieve the 2°C goal suggests this needs to rise to around 6,000 million tonnes in 2050.

Beyond 2050, many climate models indicate the world will need to achieve ‘net negative emissions’.

CCS used in the combustion of biomass is a largescale ‘net negative’ emissions technology that could play an important role in this period. Net negative technologies to save the world from squandering its ‘carbon budget’ will be drawn into sharp focus if governments don’t take stronger action.

With the world’s 14th and 15th large-scale CCS projects becoming operational in 2015, and major projects in the power, iron, steel, and chemical industries to be launched in the next 18 months, CCS has entered a landmark period for development.

The portfolio of operational large-scale CCS projects is expected to grow to 22 over the next 18 months or so. Also, pilot and demonstration projects capturing and storing 100,000 tonnes or more of CO2 per year.

2. Wider deployment of CCS-specific law and regulation: The development of CCS-specific law and regulation remains a critical issue globally, for governments and project proponents alike. Only a small number of countries to date have developed comprehensive frameworks capable of addressing the many issues associated with project deployment.

Australia, Canada, Denmark and the US all possess CCS-specific laws or existing laws that support most parts of the CCS project lifecycle. The UK was going to invest £1 billion (US$1.4 billion) in a competition to build CCS plants but this funding was withdrawn in 2015, six months before contracts were due to be awarded. The majority of jurisdictions, however, have yet to develop comprehensive regulatory frameworks for CCS. It will be important for countries with strong policy commitments to the technology, and projects in the pipeline, to progress their regulatory regimes.

But for Asia, the absence of CCS-specific law and regulation, and the low oil price, is impacting on investment. For countries in the early stages of developing legislation, it is positive to note there are existing regulations which may assist development.

3. Incentivise selection of storage sites to support investment: Secure CO2 geological storage at largescale has already been demonstrated at many projects. The technology is already available to select, characterise, safely operate, complete and close storage projects. To support the acceleration of CCS deployment required by emissions reduction targets, storage needs to be achieved on a large scale.

Detailed surveys of storage resources have been undertaken in the US, Canada, Australia, Japan, Norway and the UK. Multinational initiatives in Europe and South East Asia have improved the global knowledge base of available resources. Also, China, Brazil, Mexico and South Africa have assessed resources at a more theoretical level and are progressing towards refined estimates. These assessments have shown, even conservatively, that

storage resources available to support CCS are vast and in excess of projected capacity needs.

For storage in depleted oil and gas fields, existing knowledge of the subsurface and infrastructure may allow rapid formulation of plans and regulatory applications to store CO2. In contrast, proposals to store CO2 in deep saline formations where characterisation data is sparse may take longer.

4. R&D for cost-effective technologies: Lessons learned from existing projects provide valuable information for decreasing the cost of future facilities.

There must be a continuing focus on R&D to further reduce costs. Second generation technologies are targeted to be available for testing by 2025 with costs 20 per cent lower than currently available technologies (in terms of cost of electricity). Pilot testing of second generation technologies is critical for cost-effectiveness.

5. Progress in developing countries: A particular challenge is the ‘energy trilemma’ – balancing the goals of energy access, energy security and sustainability. CCS can help achieve these goals by enabling them to continue to utilise their indigenous fossil fuel reserves. Reducing deployment costs is critical to support CCS use in developing countries.

Access to funding through the UNFCCC’s Green Climate Fund could be important. The UNFCCC’s Climate Technology Centre and Network may also provide policy, regulatory and technical assistance for developing countries. Many developing countries lack rigorous policies to drive investment in CCS, however, developing countries can lay the groundwork for widespread CCS deployment in the medium term, through building capacity through learning by doing. ● This is an edited extract from The Global Status of CCS 2015 report, by the Global CCS Institute and reprinted with kind permission. www.globalccsinstitute.com

1. Policies for investors that advantage CCS: The Institute ranked countries into four quadrants depending on their policy support for CCS, relative to the level of interest they should have in the technology. The US and Canada are in the ‘upper tier’. These countries have implemented a direct regulation to require power generators to reduce emissions intensity, government funding of largescale CCS projects and R&D, fiscal and market-based incentives, including carbon pricing and tax credits, and supportive legal and regulatory frameworks.

DAILY NEWS | DAY 3 | 20 JANUARY 2016

Tackling water challenges in the GCC and beyond The International Water Summit (IWS) has been running in tandem with the World Future Energy Summit (WFES) in Abu Dhabi this week.

Government leaders, thought leaders, entrepreneurs, technology experts, policymakers and trade visitors have converged to discuss the serious challenges faced by areas where water is scarce. The 2015 IWS attracted 9,714 visitors from 76 countries.

GCC countries are particularly vulnerable to the problems caused by water scarcity and this is compounded by the countries having the highest per capita consumption of domestic water in the world. To add to the challenge, this demand is expected to double in the next two decades. The good news is that plans are already in place to deal with this challenge – GCC governments are set to invest up to US$300 billion in water technologies and energy-efficient desalination processes by 2022.

The importance of efficient desalination in the GCC GCC countries have acknowledged that less energy-invasive methods of water treatment will have to play a pivotal role in meeting ever-growing demand for potable water in the region.

The GCC will increase its total seawater desalination capacity by nearly 40 per cent by 2020, according to figures released by the IWS in collaboration with MEED Projects. According to MEED’s data, the GCC’s current seawater desalination capacity is approximately 4,000 million imperial gallons a day (MIGD) and this is set to increase to more than 5,500 MIGD over the next five years, thanks to the heavy investment in potable water supplies.

Desalination has become increasingly important for countries such as the UAE and Qatar which have experienced rapid rises in demand for water on the back of strong economic and population growth, and Saudi Arabia where groundwater supplies are depleting. As a result, there is a growing need for new water resources, says Ed James, Director of Content & Analysis at MEED Projects.

Currently, demand for potable water in the region is about 3,300 MIGD, and is expected to grow to about 5,200 MIGD by 2020.

While current reserve margins between supply and demand appear to be at comfortable levels, at country and local network levels the supplydemand gaps are much smaller.

For example, while Qatar and the UAE have enjoyed comfortable reserve margins in recent years, Saudi Arabia, Oman and Kuwait have faced real challenges meeting demand, especially during the summer months. Ageing plants also do not always operate at full design capacity, further reducing the theoretical total output.

“As oil revenues decrease and the issue of water has risen up the political agenda, governments have acted to try and dampen demand and reduce capital and operational expenditure. For example, earlier this year Abu Dhabi imposed water tariffs for the first time for UAE nationals while increasing existing prices for expatriate users as a means of decreasing subsidies and lowering demand.

The move emulated Dubai’s decision in 2010 to raise water tariffs with the result that annual demand growth slowed from 10 per cent to just four per cent in the emirate,” James says.

“Our data shows that over the last 10 years, the region has invested US$76 billion in standalone water projects. If we add the power component investment of these desalination facilities, that figure exceeds well over US$100 billion. Going forward, we expect the largest investments to be made in Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, Oman and Kuwait, which have the steepest short-term demand projections. The addition of more than 1,500 MIGD of new capacity will likely require a similarly large amount of investment.

A major driver of these investments will go towards developing less energy-intensive methods of desalinating water, added James.

Moving on from traditional processes Traditionally dominant forms of thermal distillation in the region, such as multi-stage flash (MSF) or multiple-effect distillation (MED), require large amounts of energy, and have become less

attractive as GCC states find themselves burning increasing amounts of hydrocarbons that could instead be conserved, exported or exploited to develop heavy industry.

“Reverse osmosis (RO) membrane technology is becoming increasingly prevalent in the region because it relies on a chemical rather than thermal solution to desalinating seawater. Not only does the technology save on power, but it means countries can also lower their potential carbon emissions,” says James.

In 2013, the UAE clean energy company Masdar launched a pilot program to test and develop advanced energy-efficient seawater desalination technologies, such as reverse and forward osmosis, suitable to be powered by renewable energy.

The long-term goal of the program is to implement renewable energy-powered desalination plants in the UAE and to have a facility at commercial scale by 2020.

New projects Four international water technology companies have been selected to construct small-scale desalination plants along the Abu Dhabi-Dubai border in this phase of the pilot project that will run until 2016. Water efficiency and sustainability form the core of the 2016 International Water Summit, which brings together world leaders, field experts, academia luminaries, and business innovators to accelerate the development of sustainable strategies and technologies.

Bringing solar power to the islands of Zanzibar A large team of international experts, supported by local professionals, will collect and analyse data of wind and solar resources, and establish the prospects for renewables on the archipelago. It will carry out logistics, EIA, and SIA studies with the aim of determining the feasibility of wind farms and solar parks. Modelling of wind flow and assessment of solar photovoltaic potential will feature strongly in the studies.

There will also be an analysis of the suitability of small scale off-grid and mini-grid hybrid systems.

Additionally, the evaluation of regulatory and institutional requirements will form an essential part of the project. This will be a challenging task as the Government of Zanzibar is in the very early stages

of formulating policy and regulation in the area of renewable energy.

The activities of the intec team over the 22-month period will then be prepared as a report with the aim of then progressing to full implementation of the wind and solar

projects, combined with a training programme for local people to ensure long-term success. ● intec GOPA-International Energy Consultants: Germany Pavilion, Stand 7140

intec GOPA-International Energy Consultants (intec) has been awarded a major project as part of the Zanzibar Renewable Energies and Energy Efficiency Programme.

This initiative has been set up by the Government of Zanzibar to stimulate the implementation of its energy sector priorities through the promotion of renewable energies and the latest energy efficiency technologies. The European Union is supporting the initiative. intect announced the award of the contract in August 2015. The company has been chosen to prepare, over a 22-month period, a comprehensive wind and solar energy study for the two main islands. This will involve wind and solar potential analysis, and pre- and feasibility studies for power plants.

Monitoring air quality for future decision-making Advanced technologies are being used for effective data collection Switching to fuels, especially for transportation, that reduce carbon emissions is essential for improving air quality. Gathering accurate, quality data on air pollution, especially in urban areas, is an important part of moving towards cleaner fuels and, as a result, cleaner cities.

With the importance of date in mind, France-based Aria Technologies is embarking on the AirCity project, starting with Paris.

The aim of the project is to develop a revolutionary simulation system to represent and provide the atmospheric pollution readings at any point within a large city.

The company says: “Monitoring the quality of the air inhaled by each citizen, at any moment and at any point in the territory, is a very important issue in terms of public health.”

Aria Technologies acknowledges that this particularly acute in urban environments, where the intensity of pollution sources due to transportation and high population density leads to exposure to a range of pollutants.

The project aims to go beyond the mere observation of concentration values by monitoring networks. AirCity will integrate multiple numerical

simulation models to gather data on present and future traffic, emissions, local meteorology, and the air pollutants associated with these factors.

AirCity’s modelling will combine in real time the concentration of different pollutants with estimated journeys of citizens, whether inside or outside the city’s buildings.

This will give a more complete estimation of the exposure of every individual to atmospheric pollution and the effects on public health.

The high-resolution 3D AirCity modelling system is based on Parellel-Micro SWIFT-SPRAY (PMSS) software, which has been developed by Aria Technologies in collaboration with CEA and MOKILI. PMSS is a simplified computation fluid dynamics (CFD) solution which is used as an alternative to micro-scale simulatios which are usually carried out with full CFD. In-depth validation of the modelling system was undertaken using the routine air quality measurements in Paris at four stations influenced by road traffic, and a field experiment specifically arranged for the project.

Comparison on PMSS and the corresponding validation measurements gave excellent results

concerning concentrations of pollutants, and the potential for AirCity to be rolled out in other cities is enormous.

Aria Technologies was founded in 1990 by a group of researchers from the research and development department of EDF, the French electricity board. It is an independent company headquartered in Paris, with sister companies in Italy (ARIANET, Simularia), and in Brazil (ARIA do Brasil), as well as branch offices in India and Mexico City.

The company is singularly concerned with modelling the atmospheric environment, from building-scale projects through to entire continents.

These solutions range from simple screening models to full-blown CFD applications.

Data gathered from the company’s modelling solutions will serve multiple purposes. The impact of industrial emissions can be computed, urban and region air quality can be assessed and compared, risks linked to airborne toxic releases can be modelled, renewable energy potential can be assessed, and analysis of climate change patterns and greenhouse gas emissions will be made easier. ● Aria Technologies: Stand 8204

Pavilion focus: Germany AMA Technology GmbH AMA Technology provides engineering, construction and project management services for renewable energy projects. It partners with leading German and other European companies in order to be able to supply the Middle East with products based on cutting edge solar technology.

The company produces LED filament bulbs and LED street lights and participates in project planning to develop solar and wind plants. Local partners for renewable energy solutions include Maghdeem Contracting and Trading Co., based in Qatar, Sun Pathfinder, in Dubai, and Tanweer, in Jordan.

The company says that photovoltaic technology offers attractive solutions for both kinds of generating energy: on grid and off grid systems. The former offers the possibility to supply electricity to the local grid. The direct current generated by the solar modules is transformed by an inverter to 230 VAC. In addition, a protection device between the photovoltaic system and the electricity grid is mounted, which automatically takes over the plant from the grid if a problem occurs. Besides being able to feed the solar power into the public grid, it is also possible to use the electricity oneself.

damage to power electronics and identify areas for savings.

The three-year project draws on operating data from more than 2000 facilities in an effort to make wind power more economical.

The Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems researches supplying energy efficiently and on an environmentally sound basis. Founded in 1981 by Prof. Adolf Goetzberger in Freiburg, Germany, it was the first non-university establishment for applied solar energy research in Europe, and since then has received many prestigious awards.

According to a study by the Institute commissioned by Agora Energiewende, solar energy will become the cheapest power source in many parts of the world. In 2013, the Institute, together with its partners, jointly achieved a new world record

today. The technology of the dye solar cells has developed well beyond the laboratory stage and organic solar cells are attractive especially due to the expected low manufacturing costs, says the Institute.

AXITEC GmbH AXITEC, which has been supplying solar modules in Europe over the past 14 years, has increasingly focused on expanding overseas.

Having established branches in the US and Brazil in recent years, it set one up in Turkey in 2015. AXITEC, jointly with fellow German solar power company B&W Energy GmbH & Co., is planning to build 25 MWp of solar power plants in Turkey.

In coming years AXITEC intends to intensify its sales activities in the Middle East and North Africa as well as other parts of the world.

Among its products are its 250-310Wp AXIpower series of polycrystalline solar modules, which can be used for either small systems or power plants, with efficiencies up to 15.98 per cent, and the 260-275Wp AXIpremium series of monocrystalline modules, with efficiencies up to 16.60 per cent. The 250-260Wp AXIblackpremium are suitable for installations where the black exterior design needs to match the high power output.

The smart modules of the 260-265Wp AXIplus series can be individually controlled and switched off thanks to the intelligence and smart technology that is integrated within the junction box. In this way up to 20 per cent more output can be achieved per string, says the company.

Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft is a German research organisation with many institutes focusing on different fields of applied science. Partly financed by the German government, it is mostly funded through contract work, either for government-sponsored projects or from industry.

Researchers from Fraunhofer IWES Northwest and the University of Hannover are working with 16 companies from the wind energy sector to investigate the causes and mechanisms of common

The Potsdam-Golm campus of the Fraunhofer Institute for the conversion of sunlight into electricity using a new solar cell structure with four solar subcells.

A new record efficiency of 44.7 per cent was measured at a concentration of 297 suns.

An area of research is energy-efficient buildings.

The Institute has installed 70 photovoltaic modules on the outer façade of one of its lab buildings.

Together with industry, Fraunhofer developed the crystalline photovoltaic module called ‘TPedge’ using a process that saves both time and money and replaces the lamination step, it says. Innovative back-contacted solar cells from the Institute’s own production are integrated into the module.

The solar cells are interconnected with a patented cell connector made of copper. This structured metal foil reduces the electrical stringing losses down to about one per cent and minimises the mechanical stress on the cells, says the Institute.

With more than 85 per cent of solar cells produced worldwide based on crystalline silicon, Fraunhofer's expertise covers the entire value chain of crystalline silicon photovoltaics. In addition to silicon photovoltaics, the solar cell research at Fraunhofer also extends to other photovoltaic technologies.

With III-V based semiconductors like gallium indium phosphide, aluminum gallium arsenide or gallium arsenide, the highest efficiencies can be reached

based on vanadium redox flow technology gives energy-intensive consumers the opportunity to take control of their energy supply, says the company. Gildemeister energy solutions has more than 140 years of experience in the engineering industry. Now being part of the industrial services segment of DMG MORI Group means it has access to a global sales and service network across 143 locations in 65 countries.

The company specialises in turnkey solutions for solar parks – from planning to system implementation to operations. This includes the precise assessment of customer needs, a detailed installation plan, GPS-assisted measurement of photovoltaic tracking systems and minimisation of potential power loss caused by shading, says the company.

The photovoltaic systems are installed and put into operation in cooperation with certified partner companies. Just-in-time delivery of individual components and an optimised construction process of the PV park enable synchronised mass production. It also offers the option to operate the PV plant for the client or to take over servicing and maintenance.

Pavilion focus: Japan Toshiba Toshiba designs and supplies solar power-generating systems tailored to meet customers' specific requirements and operating environments. The Group can tap into its extensive engineering capabilities built up through a history of large- and mega-scale plant development to offer every size of system, ranging from those of homes and industries to utilities. From the installation of solar battery modules to interconnection with power systems, Toshiba follows a total engineering approach that encompasses analysis, design and execution.

Among its offerings is the Micro Energy Management System, which represents the brain of a smart grid. This technology monitors and predicts consumers’ power use in real-time while supplying electricity from solar power generation and storage batteries based on demand, controlling the power supply to the devices used in homes and buildings.

The system absorbs the power variations that occur in a grid, lessening the impact on power systems. As a result it is able to achieve a balance between the demand and supply of power, enabling the effective utilisation of renewable energies, reduced energy loss and lower energy consumption.

The system comprises three functions: total energy supply planning, economical load distribution control and real-time load frequency control.

Within the Cosmo Energy Group's new structure, resource development, retail and the wind power generation business are expected by the company to be growth drivers.

The group says it is focusing on renewable energy, guided by its responsibilities as an integrated energy company, and working to diversify the energy supply and achieve the best energy mix. Plans are in place for EcoPower Co., Ltd., a group company with about a 6% share of the domestic wind power market, to add around 50,000 kW in new capacity by the end of FY2017. In addition, the group is participating in experimental offshore floating wind power generation projects.

include design and construction of environmental systems, industrial plants, water treatment systems, industrial machinery, process equipment, infrastructure-related equipment, disaster prevention systems, and precision machinery.

One of their important green energy projects is the development of energy-from-waste plants. These are designed to produce power from the large amounts of energy generated during hygienic waste incineration and treatment processes.

The Hitachi Zosen group is a world leader in this field and has built many energy-from-waste plants around the world. In Japan, the group has installed 195 of these plants, as well as another 263 outside of Japan.

The process involves delivering rubish by waste collection vehicles to the waste pit. This is then carried on a combustion system and transformed into ash. The ash is discharged while the energy contained in the exhaust gases from the combustion process is recovered as steam and used to drive power generator turbines.

Tabuchi's EIBS hybrid solar inverter with battery storage make optimum use of various electronic devices, including a highly efficient transformer, AC/DC converter, embedded power supply software and PV simulation techniques.

The main feature is its multi-string input technology. String-level input voltage control makes it possible to maximise energy harvest, provide ease of fault detection and maintenance, and to control multiple energy sources (solar, wind, fuel cells, etc.) with just one product, says the company.

Solar energy can be intermittent due to clouds or storms, and with EIBS the inverter is supported by a Li-ion storage battery to supplement energy needs when the array is dark. Tabuchi’s patented power control technology that monitors power flow can facilitate a net-zero house that does not need to buy electricity from the grid, as the energy stored in the battery can be used at night.
