20 - 22 JANUARY 2014 ABU DHABI NATIONAL EXHIBITION CENTRE POWERING THE FUTURE OF ENERGY INNOVATION AND INVESTMENT

INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR A SUSTAINABLE ENERGY FUTURE In a bid to maintain steady production while maintaining the highest HSE standards, ADNOC & its Group of Companies endeavor to adopt all technological innovations to continue their productivity standards. To achieve this mission, ADNOC & its Group of Companies have embarked on several ambitious projects including the introduction of improved Enhanced Oil Recovery techniques and building artiﬁcial islands to boost their production capacity from 2.8 million bbl/day of oil with condensates now, to 3.8 million bbl/day by 2020. Along with their renowned international partners, ADNOC Group will seek to acquire and deploy state-of-the-art and proven technologies to meet their long term objectives. Being committed to playing an important role in the global oil market, ADNOC & its Group of Companies utilize all available technologies to enhance oil production capacity and at the same time deploy best reservoir management schemes to ensure and safeguard controlled depletion of the oil reserves. In response to this growing challenge, we have made signiﬁcant achievements to diversify Abu Dhabi’s energy supply, with emphasis on enhancing natural gas production from our gas reserves. Being aware of the global challenges to meet oil and gas demands, we are actively improving our operations to protect and enhance both the community and environment.

The sustainability battle will be won - or lost - in the cities Charbel Aoun, Senior Vice President, Smart Cities, Schneider Electric Cities are growing – and so are their challenges

Collaboration is what makes a city smart

Cities today contain 50% of the world’s population, account for 75% of global energy consumption and give off 80% of greenhouse gas emissions.

Each city is unique – from history to size via availability of resources and complexity of urban development. So its ambition will be unique too: to host a major event, expand, relieve pain points, or just to plan its future. And each city is a complex value-chain - involving not only local and regional governments and inhabitants, but also private companies, utilities, real estate developers as well as investors. So one thing is sure: as cities embark on their own journey to “smart”, they need to bring in all their stakeholders, including the private sector, from the start. This calls for a new approach that combines public governance, citizen inclusion, and business collaboration. It is about making multiple stakeholders work together with a collaborative mindset, united by a shared vision of efﬁciency and sustainability, under strong public leadership.

By 2050, they will be home to 70% of the people in the world. This means that over the next 40 years we need to provide new urban capacity equivalent to that of the past 4,000 years. As the world wonders how to meet the growing demand for energy and resources, while drastically reducing global carbon emissions, one thing is clear: this energy-climate battle will be won, or lost, in the cities. Cities are facing growing challenges: scarcity of resources such as energy and water; pollution; aging and overloaded infrastructure; trafﬁc congestion; and crime. Yet cities need to compete for talents, jobs and investments, while reducing their costs and managing their debt. Efﬁciency helps to do more with less.

Technology and integration make cities efficient At Schneider Electric, we are working with more than 200 cities worldwide. This is why we understand that making cities sustainable is both a vertical and horizontal challenge. The vertical challenge refers to the most pressing issues facing the many urban infrastructure domains – mobility, energy, water, services, buildings, and public security. For each domain, strong technical and process expertise is required to design an effective solution and ensure data accuracy. Take a major city in Brazil. Over the past ten years, Telvent, our information services company, has provided the municipality with a complete infrastructure management solution. Eleven different control centres manage all parts of the city’s critical infrastructure: electricity, water, oil, gas, public transportation and trafﬁc, air quality, airports, etc. This was made possible by our thorough understanding of the operations involved in each domain The horizontal challenge is about making the sum greater than its parts. It requires a holistic approach to interconnect all these smarter vertical domains. Interconnection means both technical integration of legacy systems and open platforms. Improved real-time data collection, when interconnected, will help city authorities to better manage, optimize, and make faster decisions,

At Schneider Electric, we believe no single company can solve a city’s challenges alone. We advocate ﬂexible, customized and localized solutions, developed with best-in-class global and local partners.

We know what it take and we help to make it happen At Schneider Electric, we want to help cities build the vision, develop the roadmap, and deliver efﬁcient and sustainable urban infrastructures. design innovative ﬁnancing models, clever collaborative approaches. each city become smarter – in its own way. We achieve this: By providing innovative, expert solutions in energy, mobility, water, buildings, and public services. By tailoring our solutions ot each city’s unique needs. By bringing our recognized integration capabilities. And by partnering with others. The sustainability battle will be won, or lost, in the cities. At Schneider Electric, we want to help win this battle.

Moderator: Paolo Frankl, Head of Unit, Renewable Energy Division, International Energy Agency, France Speakers: Deb Frodl, Global Executive Director, Ecomaginaton, GE, USA Hiroshi Kuniyoshi, Executive Director, New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), Japan Santiago Seage, Chairman & CEO, Abengoa Solar, Spain Frank Wouters, Deputy Director General, International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) Arthuros Zervos, Chairman & CEO, Public Power Corporation S.A., Greece, Chairman REN21

Mobilizing Middle East Finance for Sustainable Energy Access Achieving the three objectives of Sustainable Energy for All by 2030— universal access, double improvement of energy efficiency and double the share of renewable energy in the global mix—will cost an additional $600-800 billion a year in investment. So the challenge is mobilizing more from the pool of available global investment capital, estimated to be about $130 trillion. The Middle East hosts significant sovereign wealth funds and commercial banks. Given the region’s experience with the energy sector as a motor of economic growth, can its financial assets play a role in developing models for investment to expand access to modern energy services in countries where the access deficit is largest? What are fruitful approaches to mobilize this capital in ways that deliver a reasonable return? How can we improve risk mitigation instruments, such as guarantees? What policies should governments apply to attract and sustain this investment? How can international financial institutions help this process?

THE CONCEPT OF OUR CARS AS POWER PLANTS IS CONNECTED TO THE DEVELOPMENT AND INTRODUCTION OF THE FUEL CELL CAR. IF WE CAN INTRODUCE THE FUEL CELL CAR, PRODUCE HYDROGEN FROM GAS AND/OR ELECTRICITY AND SWITCH TO USING THE FUEL CELL IN OUR VEHICLES TO EFFICIENTLY PRODUCE ELECTRICITY, HEAT AND FRESH WATER, WE REALLY DO HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE THE SYSTEM. Challenges are, of course manifold. Fuel cells with a longer lifetime; the development of car parks that, at the same time, are our power plants; organising an electricity production system that is constantly moving; plus hydrogen production, safety issues and car owners who are prepared to use their car for electricity and water production, must all be considered. The opportunities are also manifold. From car manufacturers that can offer the necessary technologies to transform a vehicle into a power plant and energy companies that will be required to change their business models, to IT companies that need to develop an E-cloud system and gas and oil companies that need to deliver hydrogen, the potential is there. The industry trends that are shaping this future are renewable energy technology developments and the fuel cell car. Using the fuel cell car as a power plant will make the system flexible, and demand and supply of electricity can be perfectly balanced.

26 DAILY NEWS 21 JANUARY 2014

The biggest hurdle that the renewables sector is facing in the Middle East today is fuel subsidies. In places like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Iraq you have power shortages that could be solved with the implementation of solar systems, but at the highly subsidised prices for diesel fuel in these countries, even the cheapest solar power cannot compete. In countries where fuel isn’t subsidised, such as the UAE or most places in Africa, the biggest issue then becomes the high upfront investment costs for solar systems. This is where Enerwhere comes in with our leasing and rental options, which make solar power accessible, even for companies without a large investment budget or with temporary power needs.
