How Do We Power The Future?
Is it by developing the next-generation solar thermal technology or by funding tomorrow’s leading cleantech companies? Is it by providing market-driven incentives to reduce carbon emissions or developing carbon capture networks? Is it by nurturing future energy leaders or by developing a cleantech cluster? Actually, it is all of the above and just the start of things to come. After all, what we are creating in Abu Dhabi is a centre of excellence dedicated to renewable energy and sustainable technologies.

CAPITAL MARKETS FIGHT AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE
The role of capital markets in tackling climate change is vital, Climate Change Minister Greg Barker said last month as he launched the Capital Markets Climate Initiative (CMCI) at the London Stock Exchange with Mayor of London Boris Johnson. In his speech, he emphasized the City of London’s potential to become a global hub for green finance and looked at why low carbon investment is a huge opportunity for the UK’s financial services industry. The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) is bringing together key players from the City with international financiers and policy makers, with the initiative aimed at driving green economic investment in emerging economies and identifying how the current barriers to new investment can be dismantled. The CMCI aims to help unlock the private sector’s ability to help meet the $100 billion of new green investment required annually by 2020 to tackle climate change in developing countries. “The vital role of capital markets in tackling climate change has been overlooked for far too long. The finance needed to help developing countries become low carbon isn’t flowing at the rate and scale needed” said Barker. “This is a huge opportunity for the UK financial services industry to grab a share of a completely new international market that will be worth billions in the years to come.” Economic Secretary to the Treasury, Justine Greening, agreed: “We need to make sure that we get the policy framework right in order to unlock large-scale private investment for clean technologies both here in the UK and internationally.”
The Mayor’s Office have announced that they are investing in ten low carbon zones across London to help cut local carbon emissions. “These energy busting zones will create an armada of flagships across London focused on finding the most effective ways to rapidly cut carbon and slash energy bills” says Boris Johnson. In order to help meet the commitment to reduce London’s carbon emissions by 60% by 2025, the London Development Agency (LDA) is investing up to £3 million across ten low carbon zones. The aim is to reduce carbon emissions in the zones by 20.12% by 2012. Each of the low carbon zones should demonstrate that significant carbon savings can be achieved at a neighbourhood level, in turn convincing the rest of the capital that the 60% target is achievable. Low carbon zones will show the effectiveness of a strategy that focuses not on a particular building or tenure type, but on a geographical area. Additionally, the zones hope to show that once a delivery mechanism is in place, it can be repeatedly used to increase the effectiveness and decrease the cost of subsequent schemes which can be replicated not only across London but nationwide.

wind energy powers up
After the UK government’s substantial $6.8 billion offering to fund offshore wind power last year, Masdar and partners E.ON and DONG Energy followed suit and announced a $3 billion investment to create a joint venture: The London Array wind project in the Thames estuary. With European targets for 2020 fast approaching, investment in long-term projects such as these will prove essential in developing renewable energy resources and cutting emissions. The London Array wind farm (up to 341 turbines, installed over a four year period) would be located more than 20km (12 miles) from the Kent and Essex coasts in the outer Thames Estuary, one of the three strategic areas the UK Government has identified for offshore wind farm development. When fully operational, it would make a substantial contribution to the UK government’s target of providing 15.4% of all electricity supply from renewable sources by 2015. Based on the current schedule, it is expected that the project would represent nearly 7% of this target. When fully completed, it would provide enough electricity for more than 750,000 homes – equivalent to the household demand of Kent and East Sussex combined, or for a quarter of Greater London homes.

SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC – SPONSOR Q&A ‘WORKING TOWARDS A GREENER FUTURE’: INTERVIEW WITH LADY BARBARA JUDGE WORKSHOP SESSIONS: THURSDAY 21 OCTOBER ‘THE BIG ISSUES’: AN INSIGHT FROM THE MAYOR OF LONDON’S OFFICE
interview increase business certainty and investor confidence to stimulate growth in low carbon. This will send a clear signal to British companies about the economic, as well as environmental, imperative of the transition to a low-carbon economy.
Which key note speakers/debates do you think will add real impact?
Firstly, a reduction of 30% is affordable. The European Commission estimates that it will cost around 0.5% of the EU’s GDP in 2020 – this cost is lower than previous estimates as a result of the recession. It will also reduce our dependence on imported What will be the most significant change fossil fuels, and contribute to better air quality.

My ministerial colleague, Gregory Barker, is taking part in the discussion on low-carbon financing across Europe on the second day of the conference. This issue is key to large-scale deployment of low -carbon technologies and I hope those that attend will develop a detailed understanding of the barriers and potential solutions to low-carbon financing. What are the key issues that you think need to be addressed during EFEF?
The key challenge facing the low-carbon sector is how we fund the increased incremental cost of these technologies. Lord Stern demonstrated that the cost of inaction is far greater than that of action and the IEA’s analysis indicated that we will need a portfolio of all potential low-carbon technologies to succeed in tackling the challenges posed by climate change. I hope the conference will be able to act as a forum for discussing best practice between decision-makers and industry in a range of countries. What is the main message you want to communicate at EFEF?
A low-carbon future is our only viable option to balance the dual demands of tackling climate change and ensuring energy security. It also offers one of the best ways of encouraging recovery from recession and laying the foundations for future prosperity. Do you think that British companies are becoming more aware of low-carbon goals?
Yes, particularly in terms of maximising economic opportunities and managing climate change risks. The economic opportunities of businesses moving to a low-carbon economy are massive. In 2008/09, the global market for low-carbon goods and services was worth £3.2 trillion and is forecast to grow by approximately 4% per year over the next 5 years. In spring 2008, an informal survey conducted McKinsey & Co showed that all respondents either agreed or strongly agreed that climate change will have a significant impact on shareholder value and on investment decisions in the next 5 years. The Coalition Government is keen to build on this awareness by getting the policy framework right to 30

‘GLOBAL TRENDS’: SIEMENS TAKE ON WORLDWIDE ‘MEGATRENDS’
Can you tell us a bit about the ‘Green Deal’? How will this help homes and businesses?
Research into new and lower carbon technologies continues apace across all the fields of energy and therefore EFEF and the UK is a good fit this year. We mean to ensure that the world knows of our ambitions, our commitment and our abilities so that they will be in no doubt of the opportunities available both to work in and work with the UK in developing sustainable low-carbon future energy solutions.
Why is a 30% emissions cut the golden number – how much of an impact will this have on our future?
The Green Deal gives householders and businesses the opportunity to take advantage of energy efficiency measures like loft or cavity wall insulation, and to pay for it with the savings made on energy bills. Green Deal has the potential to benefit most homes and non-domestic buildings across the UK, unlocking tens of billions of pounds of investment in the next decade. Improving energy efficiency will cut carbon emissions and save people money as they use less energy. Furthermore, green jobs will be created throughout the country.
Low-Carbon is the future

introduction
Worldwide demand for energy is expected to rise by
just over 50 per cent The world desperately needs more energy, cleaner energy, and secure sources of energy.
by 2030
With a long history of innovation and world class skills, the UK has become a world leader in the development of renewable energy, and that leadership has never been more needed than it is today. Committed to meet the EU target of at least 20% of energy from renewable sources by 2020, the UK needs an investment of around £100 billion to develop an additional 35 GW of new renewable energy capacity. The challenges and opportunities for renewable energy businesses both from the UK and internationally is enormous. Part of the World Future Energy series of events, the European Future Energy Forum is an initiative developed with Masdar (Abu Dhabi’s multi-billion dollar investment in the development and commercialisation of innovative technologies in renewable energies) that includes the World Future Energy Summit held annually in Abu Dhabi. Successfully launched in Bilbao in 2009, the Forum is a European event which is currently being developed to facilitate a detailed exchange of knowledge between energy ministers, heads of state, investors and renewable energy service providers – in order to strengthen understanding and cooperation between companies spearheading the growth and development of this industry.

PROGRESS SINCE 2009
Progress Since 2009 There’s been lots of change since the inaugural European Future Energy Forum last year; we take a closer look at some of the key green issues that have been addressed since 2009
WIND IS TOP OF THE AGENDA IN EUROPE
Last year, the UK government dedicated $6.8 billion to offshore wind power, after which Masdar and partners E.ON and DONG Energy announced their commitment to the London Array wind project in the Thames estuary, with a $3 billion investment. In addition, Siemens (EFEF sponsor) also announced a large expansion of its wind power activities in across Europe including a European headquarters for wind power sales and project execution in Hamburg. Since then, London Array has signed the final major installation contracts for phase one of the project (Feb 2010). Contracts have been awarded to MPI and A2SEA to supply marine crew and vessels for the installation of foundations and turbines for the first phase (630MW) of what will be the world’s first 1GW offshore wind farm. And last month, Siemens announced that it has won a contract for two offshore substation structures for one of the largest wind farm developments in the UK, to Belfast yard Harland and Wolff (H&W). To date Siemens has used British yards for all six of its offshore substations for the UK and the latest win for H&W will further help to develop the UK supply chain, create jobs and stimulate the local economy. The substation structures form part of Siemens’ contract to design and build the onshore and offshore substations for the 576MW Gwynt y Môr (GYM) offshore wind farm in Liverpool Bay.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT With the EU commission looking to reduce carbon emissions and increase energy efficiency heavily by 2020, green building and future sustainable urban environments were high on the EFEF 2009 agenda. Since then, the Secretary of State for Climate Change, Chris Huhne announced the introduction of the Green Deal, which will allow thousands of workers to modernise around 26 million homes to make them more energy efficient as part of the coalition’s ambition to be the “greenest government ever”. According to John Alker, Director of Policy & Communications at UK-GBC this scheme “could drive a refurbishment revolution in the UK. Not only does it achieve deep carbon emissions, it can drive down energy bills, create new green jobs - and reinvigorate whole communities when energy efficiency is part of neighbourhood renewal”.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR EUROPEAN INVESTMENT
Last year, EFEF 2009 looked at the number of business deals announced, demonstrating the strength of the future energy market despite the current economic downturn. Each EU member state has targets to achieve in order to make up the average of 20% carbon reductions – and all offer dramatic industrial and investment opportunity. Renewable energy and ‘clean-tech’ investment rose to $10.3bn (€8.1bn) in the first half of this year from $6.4bn in the same period last year, according to data provider VB Research. This included $5bn of spending in the second quarter, which was up substantially from $3.4bn between April and June last year. And according to data provider Preqin, private equity firms have raised €8.4bn for ‘clean-tech’ deals in Europe since 2007.

Going Green EFEF looks at a variety of initiatives and programmes that are driving London and the UK forward into a greener future
wind energy powers up
After the UK government’s substantial $6.8 billion offering to fund offshore wind power last year, Masdar and partners E.ON and DONG Energy followed suit and announced a $3 billion investment to create a joint venture: The London Array wind project in the Thames estuary. With European targets for 2020 fast approaching, investment in long-term projects such as these will prove essential in developing renewable energy resources and cutting emissions. The London Array wind farm (up to 341 turbines, installed over a four year period) would be located more than 20km (12 miles) from the Kent and Essex coasts in the outer Thames Estuary, one of the three strategic areas the UK Government has identified for offshore wind farm development. When fully operational, it would make a substantial contribution to the UK government’s target of providing 15.4% of all electricity supply from renewable sources by 2015. Based on the current schedule, it is expected that the project would represent nearly 7% of this target. When fully completed, it would provide enough electricity for more than 750,000 homes – equivalent to the household demand of Kent and East Sussex combined, or for a quarter of Greater London homes.

LOW CARBON SKILLS & EMPLOYMENT
Earlier this year, London welcomed the launch of the London Development Agency’s (LDA) Low Carbon Employment and Skills Programme designed to help Londoners gain the green skills that businesses need in order to compete in this growing sector. Boris Johnson, Mayor of London, through the LDA and working with partners, aims to help create the conditions that ensure London’s businesses are able to access market opportunities in the low carbon economy and that Londoners are adequately skilled to take on the jobs created in the sector. The launch event, held at City Hall in June, was opened by the LDA’s Group Director of Learning and Skills, Brendan Loughran and highlighted: - Research in to the Low Carbon Skills needs for London, coupled with international benchmarking research - The Retrofit Employer Accord Pilot which offers on-the-ground job brokerage for the RE:NEW andthe RE:FIT retrofit programmes being delivered by the LDA, providing opportunities for London’s unemployed - The Low Carbon Skills Forum which brings together all the key agencies in London to drive policy and identify priorities for action within the employment and skills arena For more information, visit www.lda.gov.uk

London & UK Green InitIATIVES
LOW CARBON ZONES CUT EMISSIONS IN LONDON
CAPITAL MARKETS FIGHT AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE
The role of capital markets in tackling climate change is vital, Climate Change Minister Greg Barker said last month as he launched the Capital Markets Climate Initiative (CMCI) at the London Stock Exchange with Mayor of London Boris Johnson. In his speech, he emphasized the City of London’s potential to become a global hub for green finance and looked at why low carbon investment is a huge opportunity for the UK’s financial services industry. The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) is bringing together key players from the City with international financiers and policy makers, with the initiative aimed at driving green economic investment in emerging economies and identifying how the current barriers to new investment can be dismantled. The CMCI aims to help unlock the private sector’s ability to help meet the $100 billion of new green investment required annually by 2020 to tackle climate change in developing countries. “The vital role of capital markets in tackling climate change has been overlooked for far too long. The finance needed to help developing countries become low carbon isn’t flowing at the rate and scale needed” said Barker. “This is a huge opportunity for the UK financial services industry to grab a share of a completely new international market that will be worth billions in the years to come.” Economic Secretary to the Treasury, Justine Greening, agreed: “We need to make sure that we get the policy framework right in order to unlock large-scale private investment for clean technologies both here in the UK and internationally.”
The Mayor’s Office have announced that they are investing in ten low carbon zones across London to help cut local carbon emissions. “These energy busting zones will create an armada of flagships across London focused on finding the most effective ways to rapidly cut carbon and slash energy bills” says Boris Johnson. In order to help meet the commitment to reduce London’s carbon emissions by 60% by 2025, the London Development Agency (LDA) is investing up to £3 million across ten low carbon zones. The aim is to reduce carbon emissions in the zones by 20.12% by 2012. Each of the low carbon zones should demonstrate that significant carbon savings can be achieved at a neighbourhood level, in turn convincing the rest of the capital that the 60% target is achievable. Low carbon zones will show the effectiveness of a strategy that focuses not on a particular building or tenure type, but on a geographical area. Additionally, the zones hope to show that once a delivery mechanism is in place, it can be repeatedly used to increase the effectiveness and decrease the cost of subsequent schemes which can be replicated not only across London but nationwide.

Masdar Abu Dhabi-based Masdar is a new kind of global energy company that takes a holistic approach to the changing realities of power generation, transmission and consumption around the world. Operating across the full spectrum of renewable energy and sustainable technologies, Masdar is helping develop the “greenprint” for how we will live in the future
M
asdar operates across the broad fields of renewable power generation, carbon abatement and sequestration, sustainable urban planning and development, demand reduction technologies and systems, and investments in renewable energy and clean technology. As well, its independent, graduate-level research university is a source of innovation, human capital, and research and development into renewable energy and sustainable technologies. Masdar has recognised that across the globe, energy infrastructures, networks, markets and systems are becoming increasingly integrated and interrelated. Smart grids will create new kinds of linkages between power plants and home appliances in a manner unimaginable only a few years ago. At the same time, renewable power is enabling decentralised generation, thereby requiring a much more flexible transmission network than exists today. Meanwhile, efforts are underway to make fossil fuels “cleaner” – resulting in technologies and systems that are themselves often integrated into wider networks and systems (carbon capture and sequestration is just one example).
24
This emerging system is of such complexity and encompasses so many diverse elements that it requires a new and fundamentally holistic approach by sector participants. Masdar takes such an approach through its five divisions – Masdar Power, Masdar Carbon, Masdar Capital, Masdar City and Masdar Institute of Science and Technology – which are structured to encourage the sharing of knowledge, market intelligence and specialised expertise. The result is an organisation greater than the sum of its parts and one where the synergies of shared knowledge and technological advancement provide this commercial and results-driven company with a competitive advantage that includes an ability to move with agility and intelligence within an industry that is evolving at great speed. Such a holistic approach keeps Masdar at the forefront of this important industry, but also ensures it remains grounded in the pursuit of pioneering technologies and systems that are feasible. As a result, Masdar delivers innovation to the market, opportunities to its partners and profits to its shareholder. For more information visit www.masdar.ae

Our renewable energy is very well connected The UK’s alternative energy experience is delivering a future of sustainable energy sources. Today, the UK has the world’s largest offshore installed wind energy capacity, at more than 4 GW. The UK is also leading in the development of a range of wind related technologies including the very large offshore turbine known as ‘The Britannia Project’, a 10 MW offshore wind turbine that will almost certainly be the world’s largest. The smart networks we’re developing will connect major new renewal resources like this to the UK grid, with the ultimate aim of extending these connections to wider European networks. We are focused on securing and boosting the alternative energy supply, delivering better and cleaner energy up to 2030 and beyond. And it’s our experience that makes us the partner of choice in alternative energy worldwide.

interview
Low-Carbon is the future We talk to Secretary of State, Department of Energy & Climate Change, Chris Huhne about the significance of EFEF coming to London, the key ‘green’ issues facing Europe in the current climate, and government plans for bringing the UK forward into a low-carbon future Why do you think it’s important to have a Future Energy Forum on a European level?
Hosting a Future Energy Forum in Europe demonstrates to the world the EU’s commitment to a low-carbon future. EFEF is an excellent international showcase for low-carbon goods and services; the success of the initial Bilbao EFEF conference in 2009 shows that Europe can benefit from an event which ensures European companies are best placed to make the most of the opportunities available globally.
Why is it significant that the EFEF is being held in the UK this year and what can the UK offer in return?
There was competition for this conference around Europe. UKTI worked hard to secure it for the UK and for London in particular. London is the financial centre for renewable energy and the UK is fast becoming a world leader in low-carbon technology deployment. The UK is the world leader in research, development and demonstration of wave and tidal technology.
29
Research into new and lower carbon technologies continues apace across all the fields of energy and therefore EFEF and the UK is a good fit this year. We mean to ensure that the world knows of our ambitions, our commitment and our abilities so that they will be in no doubt of the opportunities available both to work in and work with the UK in developing sustainable low-carbon future energy solutions. Which key note speakers/debates do you think will add real impact?
My ministerial colleague, Gregory Barker, is taking part in the discussion on low-carbon financing across Europe on the second day of the conference. This issue is key to large-scale deployment of low -carbon technologies and I hope those that attend will develop a detailed understanding of the barriers and potential solutions to low-carbon financing. What are the key issues that you think need to be addressed during EFEF?
The key challenge facing the low-carbon sector is how we fund the increased incremental cost of these technologies. Lord Stern demonstrated that the cost of inaction is far greater than that of action and the IEA’s analysis indicated that we will need a portfolio of all potential low-carbon technologies to succeed in tackling the challenges posed by climate change. I hope the conference will be able to act as a forum for discussing best practice between decision-makers and industry in a range of countries. What is the main message you want to communicate at EFEF?
A low-carbon future is our only viable option to balance the dual demands of tackling climate change and ensuring energy security. It also offers one of the best ways of encouraging recovery from recession and laying the foundations for future prosperity. Do you think that British companies are becoming more aware of low-carbon goals?
Yes, particularly in terms of maximising economic opportunities and managing climate change risks. The economic opportunities of businesses moving to a low-carbon economy are massive. In 2008/09, the global market for low-carbon goods and services was worth ÂŁ3.2 trillion and is forecast to grow by approximately 4% per year over the next 5 years. In spring 2008, an informal survey conducted McKinsey & Co showed that all respondents either agreed or strongly agreed that climate change will have a significant impact on shareholder value and on investment decisions in the next 5 years. The Coalition Government is keen to build on this awareness by getting the policy framework right to 30
interview increase business certainty and investor confidence to stimulate growth in low carbon. This will send a clear signal to British companies about the economic, as well as environmental, imperative of the transition to a low-carbon economy. Why is a 30% emissions cut the golden number – how much of an impact will this have on our future?
Firstly, a reduction of 30% is affordable. The European Commission estimates that it will cost around 0.5% of the EU’s GDP in 2020 – this cost is lower than previous estimates as a result of the recession. It will also reduce our dependence on imported fossil fuels, and contribute to better air quality. Green growth will benefit employment and productivity as the private sector responds to new opportunities in low-carbon technologies. Secondly, a reduction of 30% will reduce costs in the longer-term. 30% by 2020 provides a more cost-effective pathway towards an 80% reduction by 2050 – the minimum required to avoid dangerous climate change. We need to increase the EU carbon price to incentivise the investment needed in lowcarbon power generation, both up to and beyond 2020. If we delay action until later we would need a more rapid transformation of the EU’s power supply and industry, increasing costs and making the deeper targets more difficult. According to the IEA, every year of delayed investment in low-carbon energy sources costs €300-400 billion at the global level. Finally, a reduction of 30% is consistent with the science. The IPCC recommendations are for developed countries to deliver reductions in carbon emissions of between 25-40% by 2020 if we are to stay on a trajectory that will avoid the most dangerous climatic changes. We need to be in this envelope if we are to persuade others to take meaningful action. How will DECC encourage clean energy investment over the next decade?
It will of course be entrepreneurs, the private sector, local communities, individuals and businesses, scientists and engineers, not governments that drive the low-carbon revolution forward. But industry needs confidence that there is a stable policy framework and a functioning market. The role of government in this transformation is therefore clear: to set the right policy and incentive framework and, given the severe constraints on public expenditure in the near-term, to act as a catalyst for private sector investment. That is why we are focusing on reforming the market to attract the private sector investment we need for secure, lowcarbon infrastructure; our planned Green Investment Bank will have a major role to play here.
Can you tell us a bit about the ‘Green Deal’? How will this help homes and businesses?
The Green Deal gives householders and businesses the opportunity to take advantage of energy efficiency measures like loft or cavity wall insulation, and to pay for it with the savings made on energy bills. Green Deal has the potential to benefit most homes and non-domestic buildings across the UK, unlocking tens of billions of pounds of investment in the next decade. Improving energy efficiency will cut carbon emissions and save people money as they use less energy. Furthermore, green jobs will be created throughout the country. What will be the most significant change to action on ‘green issues’ after the first 100 days of the new coalition government?
We achieved a lot in our first 100 days. We announced a target of a 10% reduction in emissions from the central government estate over the next twelve months and started to implement the necessary measures. We set out our plans for the Green Deal, and began working on the legislation. We kicked off the process of electricity market reform, aiming to create clearer incentives for low-carbon generation, with a consultation paper due in the autumn. We ended the ban on local authorities being able to sell electricity they generate from renewable sources into the grid. We started work on the plans for a Green Investment Bank, and on the reform of the climate change levy in order to create a higher carbon price floor, again with further details due in the autumn. And together with the French and German environment ministers, we opened a discussion within the EU on moving to a more ambitious carbon reduction target, aiming for 30% by 2020, rather than the current 20%. In what way is this the greenest ever government?
Our aim is to be the greenest government ever; we will be judged on our record over the next five years. We want to make sure that by 2015 the UK is clearly on a path to achieve 80% emissions reductions by 2050. The measures set out above are the first steps towards this goal, so by 2015 we hope to see the Green Deal fully in operation, the electricity market reformed to support low-carbon generation, carbon capture and storage technology being developed at scale, and the Green Investment Bank leveraging private sector capital to invest in renewable energy and energy efficiency. And these are just what I hope to do within my departmental responsibilities; ministerial colleagues in other departments, working on areas such transport, business, housing, environment and overseas development will also be playing a crucial role.

A Win-Win Scenario for renewables Head of Communications at Renewable UK, Nick Medic tells us more about the future of UK renewable energy and the range of benefits the changes can bring
I
n order to tell what the future holds for the UK energy system we need look no further than the legislation currently being enacted by the European Union and UK parliaments. The Current EU Large Combustion Plant Directive requires that 11.4 gigawatts (GW) of the nation’s coal plant is decommissioned by 2015, while in parallel 7GW of nuclear plant will reach the end of its life cycle by 2020. This represents 23% of the total UK generating capacity connected to the grid. The year 2020 is important for yet another reason: by then according to EU legislation, the country will have to source 15% of its energy from renewables, as a staging
post towards an 80% carbon emission reduction by 2050, inaugurated by the Climate Change Act of 2008. However, it would be wrong to assume that increased deployment of renewables is motivated by legislation. Rather, it’s the other way around: current legislation recognises the need to protect and enhance pan-European energy security. We should view in this context the proposals on the super gird, launched by the EU commission in 2008 and a host of other proposals on upgrading interconnectivity, which in the context of the UK are already underfoot, through the development of a cable to the Netherlands and a proposed link to Norway. Drawing
on a geographically diverse range of renewable sources will increase security and ultimately lower energy bills, particularly in the context of rising oil and gas prices. Ultimately, the development of renewable energy is driven by availability of resource. Historically the UK was slow to develop wind farms and capitalise on its wave and tidal resources, but things are rapidly changing. The country now has 49GW of offshore wind in the development pipeline. This colossal amount of capacity will produce in the region of 150 terrawatt hours of electricity, or around 40% of what is consumed currently.
RENEWABLE UK In terms of an immediate pipeline of developments, the UK has 3.7GW installed onshore, with 4.6GW in construction or with planning consent. Offshore we have 1.3GW deployed, with 3.8GW in construction or with planning consent, and another 2.3GW in planning. Development of other renewable technologies is also continuing apace with a clear sense that by mid next year the UK could be getting 10% of its electricity from renewables. This is a fivefold increase compared to 2002, when the 10% target was introduced by the UK Government. RenewableUK has been looking at development scenarios in the crucial decade ahead and we have identified a series of milestones that will be reached as we race towards 2020. By 2013, output from our domestic renewable energy sources should overtake nuclear; by 2014, first offshore Round 3 projects (the biggest round of offshore wind projects so far) will go into construction. We should end the decade with a contribution of around 30% of our electricity from renewable sources, spread evenly between onshore and offshore. We should, by that time, also see a maturation of wave and tidal projects which could deliver around 2GW of capacity. As an industry we must work hard to make sure that these developments
happen. There is no room for complacency, as the RenewableUK’s manifesto has demonstrated. This document prepared in time for the UK’s general election this year identified four key challenges facing the sector: finance, planning, grid, and skills and supply chain. In terms of finance, we not only need to fully protect the current Renewable Obligation and feed in tariff funding mechanisms, but ensure that the sector is properly capitalised. In that context the Green Investment Bank must be seen not as the sole lender, but a catalyst for investment given that we could be looking at costs of £2.5 to £2.5 billion for each GW of offshore and around £1.4 billion onshore. Planning needs to be streamlined and any post-IPC arrangement needs to be able to deliver the goods both on and offshore, with reinforcements to the energy transmission network taking place well ahead of 2020. Let’s not forget that we now have just under 80GW of generating capacity on the grid and are looking to add in the excess of 60GW within the next two decades. This brings us to the problem, or rather the opportunity, of building a new skills pool and a new supply chain to deliver this new energy system. There is now undoubtedly a sense that renewable energy could be a driver for
economic growth, with an estimated 60,000 jobs created in the UK wind sector alone, according to the most promising delivery scenarios. This could transform our manufacturing sector which at the moment contributes only 11% to the country’s GDP. This is how we could get both the energy and the jobs we need in these difficult times. You could call it a win-win scenario. For more information, visit www.bwea.com

Speaker: Jean Marc Rollet, PV Solutions Marketing Manager, Schneider Electric 15:30 – 16:10 Distribution Automation Distribution automation improves reliability with real-time monitoring and intelligent control, bringing more automation and intelligence to the power grid network to address a myriad of utility concerns; a key component of Smart Grid deployment success. Speaker: Alain Glatigny, Innovation Energy Manager, Schneider Electric 16:15 - 16:50 CRC: what is it and how it affects you? The Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) is a UK-wide mandatory emissions trading scheme. It requires companies that consume more than 6,000 MWh of half-hourly metered electricity to assess their energy usage and purchase carbon allowances based on this estimate. Registration should now be complete and this seminar discusses the implications, and gives a practical overview of how organisations can take early action to mitigate the impact. Speaker: Rachel Cooper, Energy Consultant, Schneider Electric
11:30 – 12:15 Keynote By turning the ‘jurassic’ linear energy grid into an intelligent and interactive network, it is changing our behaviours, revolutionizing the energy value chain like the internet revolutionised IT in the late 90s. Speaker: Philippe Delorme, Executive VP Strategy and Innovation, Schneider Electric 14:00 - 14:40 Demand Response 2.0 How Demand Response, as a component of Smart Grid, will deploy in different geographies of Europe and whether conventional DR1.0 will be deployed or whether the market will support DR 2.0 real monitoring and control. Speaker: Scott Henneberry, VP Smart Grid Strategy, Schneider Electric 14:45 – 15:20 Integration of Renewables into the grid Renewable energy is hardly predictable and this is making the planning of the grid dispatcher more complex. The main challenge is to find affordable solutions to allow the integration of any renewable at any location on the grid, while providing means to control the load depending on the available power. 34

Climate Change Too much of a Religion
Round table host: Mr Adrian Hayes, Polar Explorer Speaker Corporate Coach, Adrian Hayes Climate Change has encounted a lot of negative press in recent months from ‘climategate” to other papers doubting the extent of the problem. Is the doubting self-inflicted? Is it because climate change has become too much of a focus for the World’s environmental movement? Has it become too much of a religion? This panel will seek to explore not just the facts behind what many consider the greatest future threat to our existance but how to get this message over. How do we get the World to widen their focus to the sustainability movement ? That everything we do in our economies scociety and the environment is linked. That there are huge pressing issues in our World which may or may not impact our climate but will us. That sustainability is the message we should be imparting.
Betting on Science: Disruptive Technologies in Transport Fuels
Round table host: Mr Ian O’Gara, EMEA Biofuels Lead, Accenture Never before has there been so much uncertainty about the future supply and demand for hydrocarbons. There are a number of reasons for this uncertainty but technology assumptions are a key driver. New technologies that have higher yields per unit of energy input or allow new sources of energy to be cost competitive can completely change the supply and demand levels. 36
This session will examine three categories of future transport fuel. Technology stretching the current asset base looks at items such as the next generation combustion. Fungible fuels looks at fuels such as butanol and algae. Electrification looks at new technology such as batteries and issues such as putting vehicles to the grid. In addition to new and advanced technologies political regulatory and environmental pressures will influence the adoption of new transport fuels typically by market.
THE round table ARENA AIRE - Vocational Training for Renewable Energy
Round table host: Mrs Dorlies Radike-Thiel, Project Manager, Friedrich-List-Schule In order to realise the 20-20-20 objectives the EU is in need of well trained technical staff. Since 2002 there has been the training for - Assistant for regenerative energy and energy management in Berlin. This is a full time school vocational training which is recognised by the KMK (Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs of the Länder in the Federal Republic) officially all over Germany. It contains many elements which are also part of the training to become an electrician but there are of course also very special elements which lead towards future. In view of the development on the labour market also European partners are interested in introducing a comparable vocational training and would like to have Europe wide recognition. Although all systems of vocational training are different there are comparable requirements for technical staff. All project partners train in the field of electricity and can develop the AIRE training on these grounds. In the Energy Directive of April 2009 there are skills defined which installers all over Europe should acquire. As a basis for a European/internationational vocational training we develop standards which are easily transferable and which can be recognised everywhere due to transparent assessment methods. Through the implementation of the transparency instruments of the EU (EQF ECVET europass) the comparablility will be easier and this is a good starting point for mobility and cooperation. The ideal objective is to define a common European AIRE standard as a European norm which can be applied all over Europe similar to the European computer driving license the European entrepreneurship license or EuCoCo.
Decarbonising the Built Environment
Round table host: Mr Edward Brown, Partner, Davis Langdon Introduction As the UK works toward a low carbon economy all sectors need to play their part - not least the built environment responsible for a large share of the carbon consumed. Achieving this requires us to think about both new buildings, and how we improve our existing stock. Of course much of this improvement will rely on improved thermal efficiency, and the use of renewable at a local level, but alongside these engineering solutions is the need for a more radical cultural change which sees us using buildings more efficiently and at the same time being more conscious of the energy
that we are using. This session will tackle some of the issues we face if we are to move toward an efficient, low carbon and sustainable built environment. Potential Discussion themes • UK performance relative to Europe • UK (devolved administrations) trajectory toward zero carbon relative to Europe • What this trajectory looks like The opportunities • We need to think differently about how we use space and the built environment - challenge old practice and look at behavioural change • As the cost of energy increases we will see the rate of change increase • Greater linkage between different policy devices • Carbon will become more integrated into design (ongoing work with major software developers in this area) • Who life issues become more important • New supply chain structures - i.e. ESCo solutions greater consideration of embodied carbon • Opportunity for the UK to lead the way threats • Increasing cost = downward pressure on land? • Where are the skills gaps? • Are we still locked in an engineering mindset? • People are still confused about ‘carbon’
Energy Challenges in Developing Countries
Round table host: Mr Abdul Khalid Ali Baba, General Manager, Intol-Jpi Environ Management Systems An overview of the challenges faced by organisations and companies towards generating efficient and effective power in developing countries in Africa.
Passive House for the future
Round table host: Mr Roland Matzig, Architect, r-m-p architekten State of the art in Passive House Constructions • Passive House in UK (Certified Projects on the island) • Passive House against global warming • Passive House in Non-Residential Buildings • Low Cost Passive House • Design Team Qualitys needed for Passive House Standard 37
The True Economic and Environmental Value of Solar Modules is the Energy they produce not their rateed power
Round table host: Mr Simon Biancardi, Director of International Strategy and General Counsel, Day4 Energy Inc Currently solar modules are sold on the basis of Watt peak an arbitrary measurement created by the industry that does not reflect the reality of day to day conditions. Until now the industry has not addressed the fact that decades old technology produces solar modules that generate reduced or no electricity where real environmental conditions shade leaves moss sand snow bird droppings ... are partially covering a solar module. What is needed is a shift to a performance comparison of solar modules based on kilowatt hours produced - i.e. how much electricity is actually generated by a module. Only in this way will true technological advances result in an industry in which the consumer investor and the environment win.
Waste-to-Energy: A case of Corporate Responsibility leading to innovation
Round table host: Dr Paul David Richard Griffiths, Partner, The Birchman Group This session will kick off by presenting a case study that describes the decision process through which a multinational agribusiness setting up a plant in Chile arrived at a ‘waste-to-energy’ scheme as its source for energy. This solution proved to be highly cost effective while abiding by the company’s strict commitment to sustainability. The presentation will be followed by a semi-structured discussion that will give the participants insights on three levels: a. How the use of a structured Sustaianbility Model can assist a real-world management team come to a decision of consensus on an energy sourcing strategy. b. How introducing the sustainability constraint into a decision process can stimulate a management team to think out of the box and unleash unexpected creativity. In the case presented above to an initial question of which fossil fuel would be most convenient in the long term the response was that the company should move away from fossil fuels and adopt a sustainable source of energy. And c. How waste-to-energy approaches for powering an industrial plant can render solutions that are both friendly to the planet and cost effective. Of course this will not be applicable to all cases but it would be a viable solution to plants that operate under certain border conditions that will be discussed. 38

Waste to energy - Gasplasma a New Technology
Round table host: Mr Andrew Morris, Finance and Commercial Director, Advanced Plasma Power Limited Advanced Plasma Power Ltd has achieved a break through in the energy from waste sector. Our proprietory technology is able to create a syngas from household and other waste that is clean enough for the use in gas engines which provides a highly efficient renewable source of electricity along with a glass type product we call Plasmarok which is the vitrified
THE round table ARENA inorganic elements of the waste to form a sellable builders aggregate. The process converts nearly all the waste material feedstock into energy or Plasmarok leaving only 1% of the waste brought into the plant as APC residues which need to go to landfill. The technology is a proprietory combination of gasification and plasma arc converter which are both proven technologies in their own rights. The session will present the technology and its Gasplasma process showing how the process works and what applications it is useful for. The most appropriate participants in this round table event are those from the waste and energy sectors the municipal authorities as well as investment professionals. Our discussion will give you an understanding of our breakthrough technology and invite you to see it in action in our plant in Swindon UK. We would like to engage with potential partners who have an interest in solving a waste problem as well as producing clean renewable local power.
A new concept for a new urban mobility
ROUND TABLE HOST: Mr Iñigo Antia, General Manager, AFYPAIDA From 2010 onwards, the majority of the population will not be living in villages and in the country side anymore, but in the large cities, with tendency of further growth towards a ration of 60% urban versus 40% rural in only 10 year’s time. In some cities, up to 90% of the transportation taking place is individual transportation (in the sense of one person traveling alone) In this context, we need change our minds and is necessary reinvent our concept of mobility. It implies charging stations, designated parking slots, ‘Drive-onDemand’ or ‘Mobility on Demand’ renting system, up to the bank supported charging system, and also a electric car.
Private equity financing for offshore windfarms during implementation phase
Mr Martin Billhardt, CEO, PNE WIND AG The idea is to initiate a fund where several institutional or retail investors through fund-of-fund structures can invest. The developer of the wind farms will manage the process as the general partner. When the fund will invest by buying project rights the research for the wind farms has been done and the approvals are granted. The farm should be in the status of ready-to-construct. The fund can be a pure financial investor which corporate purpose is to buy project rights and to mandate needed services to build turn-key offshore wind farms. The duration of
the fund may be 5 years plus 1 year. After a wind farm is completed and commissioned it will be operated for about 2 years. After this period the exit for the fund investment should take place by selling to a long-term-investor. Examples for one offshore fund: • Duration: 5 years; 6 wind farms with 80 turbines per 5 MW results in 2.400 MW. By calculating 3,3 Mio € per MW the invest volume is 8.000 Mio €. • General assumptions: round about 40% would be equity from the fund, 60% could be debt financed; 2,5% Management fee and 30% of the profit as carried interest for the general partner. • This approach of financing the gap between the ready-to-construct offshore-wind farms and the turnkey wind farms is a new possibility to offer large turnkey wind farms to investors. Several investors of this fund can participate in the implementation phase and at the beginning of the operating phase with attractive earnings. Larger transactions and implementation phases of wind farm portfolios can be managed more easily.
Technology and Behaviour key pillars of clean transport
Mr James Swanston, CEO, Carbon Voyage Technology can generate significant efficiencies within transport networks, and therefore could potentially assist in reducing the significant number of under-utilised vehicles that travel on UK roads each year. However it is clear that technology on its own is not the answer. Understanding what motivates people to shift transport modes into more efficient forms of travel is absolutely crucial to reducing the impact of ground transport on the environment. The work that we do looks at a broad cross section of demographics and groups within the community to understand what sensitivities exist at macro and micro levels that act as barriers to travelling with others, and where the opportunities lie, whether within the context of groups/ organisations or from a more grass-roots level for sharing and collaboration. Given expectations of an increase in vehicle numbers by 22% in the next ten years as well as carbon reduction targets, there is a clear need to rapidly find solutions to getting people to travel in more efficient ways; early clear policy implications for public sector organisations include procurement policies as well as a more open framework for collaboration on transport issues - which extends to car parking and shared transport services. This session will look at what is important in building a sustainable transport system for an organisation or a city, where the opportunities lie and what the barriers are to setting up a successful system. 39
Schneider Electric Q&A We talk to Rodney Turtle from sponsor Schneider Electric about the events at EFEF 2010, the main issues up for discussion and the challenges facing green-minded companies in the next twenty years How will your company encourage clean energy investment/clean energy practices over the next decade?
Schneider Electric believes that beyond energy efficiency, today’s challenge is to develop and establish the connecting solutions that create an intelligent energy management system across all application areas. Schneider Electric makes the energy safe, reliable, efficient, productive and green with its EcoStruxureTM solution architecture; an approach which unites its unique expertise in power, data centres, process and machines, building control, and physical security – and helps users achieve up to 30% on energy consumption.
What is the main message you want to communicate to fellow manufacturers, investors and service providers in attendance at EFEF?
We have two messages. The first one is that solving the energy challenge requires both behavioural change and the utilisation of new technologies. The second one is that renewable and cleaner transportation are mandatory but won’t be enough and will take time. This generation will remain mainly fossil-based for the next 30 years, at least – and cleaner and more efficient production and transmission network will take, at best 10 years, but more realistically 20-50 years to be implemented. Given that 1 unit saved at home equals to 3 units not generated at the power plant, the analysis is simple: a focus on ‘negawatts’, or megawatts not used, will most likely deliver the best returns for businesses. 40
Which key note speakers/ debates are you looking forward to? Why?
We are definitely looking forward to the “Smart Grid / Super Grid” stream. We are at the dawn of the Smart Grid. Renewable energies, supplydemand optimisation, energy efficiency, electrical vehicle, intelligence and communication: these mega-trends revolutionise the way people distribute and control energy, from power plant to plug, turning the classic linear energy grid into an intelligent and interactive network. And it’s changing our behaviours, influenced by four main triggers: renewable energies, active energy efficiency and energy management, electric vehicles and real-time grid management. Only companies who have the right understanding of behavioural and technological implications behind these triggers will be able
to make the most of the Smart Grid innovation opportunities.
What are the key issues that you think need to be addressed during EFEF?
Throughout the world, 1.6 billion people do not have access to energy. Schneider Electric is committed to bring safe, clean electricity – and the opportunities that come with it – to the people who need it most. I.e. the ‘Base of the Pyramid’ (the term commonly used to describe those with the lowest income bracket in a country). I am happy that delegates at EFEF will be able to engage with experts in this matter and happy to share with them Schneider Electric’s best practices to create a virtuous circle combining business, innovation and social responsibility. Why did you feel it was important to get involved in this event, and what are you hoping to gain from the EFEF 2010?
The EFEF provides an ideal networking event to discuss the challenges of rising energy demand and actions to achieve a cleaner and more sustainable future for the world. It is a unique opportunity to mobilise all business actors in solving the worldwide energy challenge. For Schneider Electric, energy efficiency represents an opportunity to focus its team on an exciting challenge and to grow and differentiate its business. The Group provides its customers with a comprehensive set of sustainable technologies and solutions all around the world to achieve energy efficiency. Therefore the EFEF is an outstanding opportunity; we wouldn’t want to miss the chance to showcase how we are making energy safe, reliable, efficient, productive and green.

important determinant in UK energy policy. It is his vision that will shape how the UK goes forward in the next few years. I am also looking forward to hearing Dr. Sultan Al Jaber, CEO of Masdar; as head of Masdar he is guiding one of the world’s most important renewable energy projects. Those of us that are supporters of renewable energy are looking forward to seeing the success of the Masdar project. Accordingly Dr. Al Jaber is a key international figure in the world of renewables. What are the key issues that you think we need to be addressed during EFEF?
Do you think this is the greenest ever government?
I do believe that this is the greenest government ever. All of the political parties are committed to the Green Agenda and the fact that we have a Coalition Government gives the issue even more prominence. The Conservatives and LibDems are both committed to renewables as well as nuclear energy, and even with the budget cuts, they are planning to support renewable technology. In addition, the ministers in place are also personally committed to the Green Agenda and have been for a long time.
Why do you think it’s important to have a Future Energy Forum on a European Level?
I think it is most important to have a Future Energy Forum on a European level because energy by its nature is
an international issue. All sources of energy cross international boundaries. The EU has a policy on most things, and certainly ought to have a policy on energy. Bilateral agreements can lead to protectionism, so what we need are multi-lateral agreements. A European energy policy makes real sense as we enter an energy consuming era, where the whole world will need ever more energy. If we cannot achieve an international policy on climate change, as was shown by Copenhagen, we should at least be able to achieve a European policy as we already have a framework in place.
Which keynote speakers/ debates are you looking forward to? Why?
I am looking forward to hearing Chris Huhne, Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, as he is the most
I believe the key issues to be addressed are how future energy sources can be financed in the post recession era and how governments can support new technologies on an economic basis. I also believe we should look at nuclear energy as an effective alternative source of energy that complements renewables rather than competes with them.
What is the main message you want to communicate to manufacturers, investors and service providers in attendance at EFEF?
My main message would be that in this increasingly developing world, the answer to the energy dilemma is that we need all forms of energy. We need a bouquet of energy sources; we need traditional sources of energy like oil and gas and coal, but we also need new sources of energy like renewables and nuclear which can be categorised as both old and new. Only by working together on a European and global scale can we begin to confront the energy challenges that lie ahead. 43

Martin Powell, Mayor of London’s environment advisor, talks to us about London’s low carbon future, green initiatives and the London Green Fund
THE BIG ISSUES
“The key issues are centred around how we mobilise the investment required to meet our targets on renewable energy generation, waste minimisation and environmental sustainability, given the economic climate and the climate change imperative. Investment in green technologies at scale, in a costeffective manner and so that we maintain the energy supplies to our businesses and citizens is crucial over the next decade.”
THE MAYOR OF LONDON
“The Mayor is determined to fight London’s corner in tough economic times to ensure we emerge stronger from the recession. As part of this, we want to harness the massive opportunities coming from the transition to a low carbon economy, in terms of jobs and enterprises. As the host city of the next Olympic and Paralympic Games, London is in a unique position; we want to make the most of this once-in-a-lifetime event to ensure we secure a solid legacy for London not just within the Games park itself, but across the breadth of the capital. The Mayor is here at EFEF to send home this message.”

issues ENERGY AWARENESS IN EUROPE
“Energy markets transcend national boundaries. In Europe, we have a shared interest in maintaining secure and low cost energy supplies to make rapid reductions in carbon emissions. The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, has an ambitious target to cut carbon emissions by 60% by 2025 and as part of that, to generate 25% of London’s energy by local sources. This is no easy challenge and needs the support of local, regional and national governments to achieve it. Strong European leadership provides significant opportunities to support the delivery of infrastructure on the ground and it is essential that we seek to work together to share experience, trade with each other and invest to deliver change at the speed and scale that is required.”
LONDON AS A MAJOR PLAYER
“London, as the powerhouse of the UK economy and a leading centre of global finance, will be central to the successful deployment of capital to meet UK energy objectives. The city’s energy and environmental infrastructure is embarking on a period of major change and the Mayor is putting in a place a range of programmes designed to support this and make London a leading low carbon economy. London, as a city of nearly 8 million people, offers a vast range of opportunities for our European partners by way of its sheer size and scale and the investment potential this represents. We boast a range of world-class research and development facilities attracting top talent whilst we are already global leaders in low carbon financing. More generally, London offers much more to EFEF visitors than just an investment opportunity, being a fantastically vibrant and rich city to live, work and visit.”

GET INVOLVED
“We want Londoners to unlock the financial benefits from becoming more energy efficiency and taking ‘greener’ lifestyle choices. This means us providing easier choices to help make the small, positive changes which, collectively, will help deliver a large chunk of the carbon savings we need. Examples include our RE:NEW programme which is set to launch across London later this year after successful trials. RE:NEW will offer an energy efficiency makeover to 200,000 domestic homes by 2012. We are working with ten borough councils at a neighbourhood level to create ten ‘low carbon zones’ that are pioneering energy efficiency schemes to achieve a 20.12% emissions reduction by 2012. These zones are acting as a test bed to demonstrate what works and is being done in conjunction with energy companies and the private sector as well as local people. We also want to exploit the economic value of London’s waste by boosting recycling rates, to embrace less polluting waste technologies, and to generate cleaner energy at a local level. We estimate the savings for the capital could amount to £90 million annually.” LONDON GREEN FUND
LONDON’S GREEN INITIATIVES
“We are transforming the look and feel of the city to improve quality of life. The Barclays Bike Hire scheme has been a highly visible demonstration of this. When the scheme is complete 6,000 hire bicycles will be available from 10,000 spaces at 400 docking stations across central London and several of the Royal Parks. We are thrilled with how enthusiastically Londoners have adopted ‘Boris Bikes’ and it’s great to see people zipping around on them, giving the city a very European ambiance. We want to empower Londoners to make the changes that will benefit communities and make the city more attractive, as well as more energy efficient. When we offered £4million to improve parks, we asked Londoners to vote to tell us which green spaces were the most deserving whilst our street tree programme seeks to plant trees where local people most want them. It is a clear sign of the confidence in London’s ability to nurture and support green enterprises that Siemens has recently chosen to locate its flagship centre of sustainability here. There Siemens Pavilion is set to sit at the heart of a brand new Green Enterprise District, which will sweep across east of the city. We envisage that the District will be a vibrant, international hub incubating dozens of low carbon businesses to transform what has historically been some of the poorest parts of the capital.”

“The London Green Fund represents a refreshing departure from a more traditional public sector funding distribution model. It is made up of £32 million from the London Development Agency and £18 million from the London Waste and Recycling Board. That has been matched by another £50 million from the European JESSICA fund. The Fund is an innovative funding mechanism to support new, green enterprises focusing on energy efficiency, decentralised energy and waste infrastructure. Money will be distributed via two separate investment funds having been assessed by the European Investment Bank, which will be paid back into the main fund and effectively recycled, so we get more value and can attract even more investment in London’s low carbon future. We are currently recruiting fund managers and expect to be ready to take bids for these low carbon loans next year.”
Global Trends Siemens provides answers to the ‘megatrends’ of urbanisation, climate and demographic change
A
round half of the world’s population live in cities, and urbanisation creates enormous challenges; how do we drive and maintain productivity in these centres of economic growth? How do we ensure mobility, keeping millions of people on the move all at the same time? Alongside these challenges, cities must also be at the front line of tackling climate change. Cities are responsible for 75% of global energy usage and 80% of all greenhouse gas emissions; cities are a critical part of the solution. It’s little wonder that leaders of cities in established and fast-growing economies are placing sustainability at the heart of their development. In the battle against climate change there is no one solution to the challenges outlined above – a range of responses is required to deal holistically with issues. Siemens has a portfolio of smart solutions that are leading the way 52
in enabling the sustainable city of the future across three key areas of transport, energy and buildings. The Siemens ‘Complete Mobility’ approach provides smart solutions for integrated transport systems. This approach makes using public transport easy, safer and greener. For example the new Desiro City which is a revolutionary train that cuts energy consumption by half but can carry 25% more passengers, in increased comfort. Siemens has the expertise to help a city reduce its carbon footprint through intelligent transport solutions. Siemens technology, for example, underpins the London congestion charge, which has reduced traffic on the UK capital’s roads by 60,000 cars a day. Siemens technology is also used in the Londonwide Low Emission Zone (LEZ) which discourages people from driving the most polluting types of vehicles. Siemens is pioneering e-vehicle
infrastructure solutions for cities, with a technology portfolio embracing home and street charging devices. But it’s not just the transport infrastructure that can be improved in cities. The energy infrastructure is also outdated in many places and will not be able to keep up with the huge projected demand for electricity, estimated to rise 60% by 2030. The answer is ‘Smart Grid’ – an intelligent interoperable network infrastructure. Siemens has an expertise in all of the major Smart Grid technologies. These include smart transmission and distribution systems using innovative high voltage direct current technologies (HVDC), renewable generation from wind to solar to biomass and marine sources, integration of distributed energy resources, efficient building management systems and electric mobility. In the area of electric mobility, Siemens is able to supply everything from infrastructure including power transmission and distribution systems, charging technology, drive technology and highperformance electronics. Transport and energy are high profile, but the buildings that make up our cities can also benefit from a smart approach to energy management. Buildings account for 40% of the UK’s energy consumption. Effectively addressing all of the various systems within a building could reduce the amount of energy wastage by as much as 40%. Siemens ‘intelligent buildings solutions’ link heating and hot water, ventilation, cooling and air conditioning, lighting, windows and shading, which means that each building could achieve optimum energy efficiency. This dramatically decreases both operating costs and CO2 emissions. Siemens’ building technology solutions have
siemens
reduced worldwide CO2 emissions by 2.4 million tonnes each year. Cities are key to our future and are the growth engines of our economies. One fifth of the world’s GDP is generated in the ten economically most important cities. Making our cities sustainable also offers a golden opportunity for us to combat climate change and create better, greener more liveable environments for all our citizens.
To find out more about our solutions for cities, visit the Siemens stand (add no), our Green Technology Theatre in the main exhibition area and the Eco Transport Zone. Over the course of the three day event, Siemens Green Technology Seminar Series will present the latest views and thinking on key energy topics from Siemens experts on subjects ranging from Smart Grids to the new emerging renewable
technologies. The eco-transport zone showcases the Siemens e-vehicle portfolio from vehicles powered by the specialised technologies to charging mechanisms. The 3600 stand lets you see Siemens technologies for transport, energy and buildings at first hand. Come listen, learn and join the debate. For more information, visit www.siemens.co.uk/efef

The UK’s Energy Excellence makes us the world’s natural energy champion With world-beating expertise, the UK’s energy industries can lead the way to a global low-carbon economy
Global demand for energy continues to rise and will not level out for quite some time. At the same time, the need to combat climate change becomes ever more urgent. The world needs to convert to a lowcarbon economy as fast as possible – a fact that is generally recognised by government, industry and the global public – and profound capabilities in energy technology and services are needed to bring that transition about. The UK energy industries have those capabilities and are already applying them to global energy and climate change projects.
UK Energy Expertise
The UK’s commitment to achieving a low-carbon transition is helping to 54
drive investment and innovation in energy efficiency and in alternatives to fossil fuels. In future, the world economy must be mainly powered by low-carbon energy sources: mainly renewables. It has been estimated that the global low-carbon energy industry may be worth as much as £1.5 trillion by 2050 and this will need a strong supply chain. The UK energy supply chain is not just world-class in renewables, but is leading the way in many other aspects of clean energy, including finding more sustainable ways of using fossil fuels during the low-carbon transition. Those worldclass capabilities are not just available here – the UK already exports around
£20 billion of energy-related goods and services all round the world. We are already an important link in the global supply chain. The UK’s energy supply chain has developed its skills through decades of oil and gas production from the harsh environment of the North Sea and elsewhere. Those skills have grown into a set of capabilities applicable across all energy subsectors, particularly in marine-based renewables such as offshore wind. The UK energy industries have proven expertise in major project management and engineering capability; the design, manufacture and installation of advanced
UKTI
equipment; in conducting ground breaking research and development; and in providing learning and skills training across the entire energy spectrum. All of this expertise comes with a global commitment to human and environmental safety. The key UK strengths of innovation, reliability, adaptability, sustainability and knowledge can be brought to bear on any energy project, anywhere in the world.
Meeting the World
Clearly there is a great deal for UK energy companies to offer and to gain. UKTI can help those companies substantially in the global market place. UKTI offers a level of information and support that only the government can provide. For example, facilitating access to key decision makers in government and industry; providing in-depth advice on the political, economic and cultural environment; and help with identifying business opportunities and provision of specific, detailed market information. The figures speak for themselves. For every £1 that UKTI spends, £19 is generated for the UK economy; UKTI’s estimated total financial benefit to businesses across all trade services was around £5 billion in 2009, up from £3.6 billion the previous year; also in 2009, some 2,130 companies increased R&D activity in the UK as a result of UKTI support; in the same year UKTI assisted 23,600 companies to exploit opportunities in overseas markets; and 53 per cent of all businesses assisted through UKTI trade services improved business performance as a direct result of UKTI support.
UK Energy Excellence
The UK Energy Excellence Marketing Strategy provides a compelling
message to the world, positioning the UK as the destination of choice for energy trade and investment. The strategy is being implemented by the UK energy industries, supported by the UK government – working in a ‘UK Energy’ partnership – to convey the key attributes of UK business excellence: Innovation, Reliability, Adaptability, Sustainability and Knowledge, to potential and actual buyers and investors overseas. These attributes are common to UK companies working across the energy industries, in wind, wave, tidal, solar, nuclear, hydro, clean coal, oil and gas, carbon capture and storage, energy efficiency and network technology. There is nowhere in the global energy scene where UK excellence cannot make a difference.
Developing the Energy Future
The UK is a scientific powerhouse whose technological leadership and innovative thinking have made this country one of the most effective and dynamic environments for R&D in the world. A long-established and exceptionally strong science base and excellent academic facilities provide UK-based companies with an innovation network that can hardly be rivalled anywhere. The interaction between industry and academia is producing thousands of new inventions and patents every year. More than a dozen universities have ongoing research programmes in energy related topics, covering basic and applied science, engineering, economics, management and policy aspects. Leading UK educational institutions carrying out energy research include Imperial College, Oxford, Cambridge, Aberdeen, Heriot-Watt, Strathclyde and Warwick Universities. 55
interview
Dr Robert Sorrell Speaking At Technology, Research & Development: Delivering A Low Carbon Future Why is it significant that the EFEF is being held in the UK this year, and what can BP International bring to this event?
The UK has a track record of innovation with UK Research & Development R&D second only to the US. The UK needs to translate R&D innovation into new business opportunities in order to meet the challenge of reducing CO2 emissions by 80 per cent by 2050. 45 per cent of BP’s R&D investment is in the UK and we are actively engaged in public partnerships like the Energy Technology Institute which is focused on accelerating the development and deployment of low carbon technologies
Why was it important for BP International to get involved in the forum and exhibition?
BP is a major UK Energy Company with significant investments in the Alternative Energy business and we are keen to engage around the transition to a more sustainable energy future.
Bp International
Can you give us an example of the low-carbon technologies BP researchers have developed, and explain how it might be applied in future?
BP has been involved in the solar business for over 30 years and we are heavily involved in the bio-fuels area through a series of partnerships to develop the next generation of biofuels technology. A UK example is the bio-fuels demonstration plant we have in Hull in partnership with Du Pont and British Sugar. Is it realistic to move these ideas/concepts from the lab into everyday/commercial settings?
Relentless innovation underpins the Oil & Gas Industry; large companies like BP have the expertise in managing large and complex projects to bring technology to market either on our own or through our extensive experience of partnerships and joint ventures.
What are the company’s ‘green goals’ for energy in the future – where do you, as a company, fit into the ‘lowcarbon’ future mentioned in the EFEF literature?
BP made a commitment to invest $8bn in Alternative Energy at its launch at the end of 2005, we have over 30 years experience in the Solar Business and over 1.3 GW of spinning wind capacity in the US. We have a growing bio-fuels business and are involved in CCS with hydrogen energy plants planned in California and Abu Dhabi.

Going Solar Torresol Energy is gaining ground in solar technology
Operation of the molten salt storage system
T
orresol Energy and SENER have positioned themselves as leaders in the solar power industry thanks to their continuous progress with innovating technology. Torresol Energy is currently focusing its efforts on three projects in the south of Spain, GEMASOLAR (a 19MW plant, capable to produce 110GWh per year, that is being built in Seville) and VALLE 1 and VALLE 2 (two 50 MW plants, capable to produce, each, 170 GWh per annum, that are being built in the province of Cadiz). A joint venture between the companies SENER and MASDAR, Torresol Energy was set up with the aim of becoming a global leader in the Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) sector, promoting the development and operation of large-scale CSP plants throughout the world – especially in the ‘sun belt’ region: southern Europe, including Spain, North Africa, the Middle East and the south-west United States. In each plant, the company will introduce and test new technologies in order to turn CSP into an economically competitive and viable alternative to
58
traditional power sources. The main aim of Torresol Energy’s research activities is to drive down the costs of power generation. Torresol Energy entrusts the supply of all the technology of its plants to SENER. The engineering company has focussed its efforts on the development of numerous solutions, from components to control software and complete systems, for CSP plants, with several dozen megawatts of installed power and the capacity to supply entire towns. This engineering company, which has innovation as one of its founding values, is continuing to improve its technology with every single project. Its goal is to turn solar power into a true alternative that can compete with conventional power sources. Torresol Energy’s three thermosolar plants, currently under construction, will use several innovations developed by SENER, including a storage capacity which will allow these plants to continue producing power throughout the night using the same heat from the sun. These are, without a doubt, the plants of the future.
Concentrated solar power uses direct solar radiation, with a system of mirrors to concentrate sun rays on a point which contains a flowing fluid that heats up. This heat is then used to generate steam, which drives a turbine. In central tower plants, the heliostats (flat mirrors) reflect solar radiation onto a receiver located at the top of a tower in which the fluid is flowing. On the other hand, in cylindrical-parabolic collector plants, cylindrical mirrors concentrate the radiation on a central tube in which the fluid is flowing. At Torresol Energy’s plants, in addition to generating steam, these hot fluids are also used to store excess heat in tanks of molten nitrate salts. In the tower plants, the salts are used directly as a heat absorption fluid: they flow from the cold tank, by means of a pump, to the receiver at the top of the tower, where they are heated to a temperature of 565 OC, after which they descend to the heat exchanger where they generate steam. When excess energy is received (i.e. when the received heat radiation is more than enough to cover the demand of the turbine), a part of these salts is stored in a hot tank, allowing it to be used at times with low solar radiation, when the plant does not receive enough heat to generate steam directly. The stored salts can then supply this heat and continue generating steam. A similar system is used in CPP plants, with the difference that oil is used as the fluid for absorbing heat radiation. Once heated, this oil is transferred to a heat exchanger, either to generate the steam required to drive the turbines directly, or to heat molten salts at times with excess energy, and to store the heat in a hot tank that allows the plant to continue generating electricity even when the sun is not shining. At these plants, the molten salts are stored
Torresol Energy
at a lower temperature than in central tower plants, since the absorption fluid, in this case the oil, reaches lower temperatures than the salts when they are heated directly in the central tower receiver. For this reason, their capacity for generating electricity using stored energy is also lower. The use of a heat storage system, which makes it possible to continue producing electricity with no sunshine, considerably reduces these load variations in the turbine. Besides, it also guarantees a continuous supply of electricity, overcoming intermittences, and flexibly adapts the supply to the demand, one of the main weaknesses of certain renewable technologies. Furthermore, turbine efficiency increases.
Gemasolar plant, a first of a kind
Gemasolar is the first project Torresol Energy has developed with a central tower and heliostats using a molten salt heat storage system. It will enter operation in 2011 and Torresol Energy is hoping it will become an international reference: a starting point in the strategy to reduce costs in the thermosolar power sector. As the first commercial plant to use the central tower receiver technology with a molten salt storage system, it opens the way for a new thermosolar energy generation technology that may be a better alternative to the cylindrical-parabolic commercial thermosolar electricity plants that are the most commonly used today. “The construction of Gemasolar was a huge step forward in Torresol Energy’s technological development and sets us up as the world leader in central tower thermosolar projects,” declared the President of Torresol Energy, Enrique Sendagorta. In terms of performance and operation, the technology used
for the Gemasolar plant will allow the plant to triple the electricity production of other thermoelectric solar plants of the same power that use conventional technology. In turn, SENER, in addition to the continuous improvement of PTC plants, is focusing its efforts on developing central tower technology. “Today, all of the analyses that have been carried out either by us or by major international institutions show that tower technology is the type of technology that will be capable of generating energy with the lowest costs” says Jorge Unda, SENER’s Managing Director. The same confidence in this technology was shown by a delegation of Australian Universities’ engineers after visiting Gemasolar’s site. In a briefing paper for the Federal Minister of Resources Energy and Tourism of the Australian Government, they pointed out that “In order for Australia to become a leader in Concentrating Solar Thermal Power, we need a competitive advantage. Power tower systems with at least 15h of molten salt storage can give us this advantage, as much of the development overseas to date has been in the area of parabolic trough plants. Meanwhile, tower systems with storage boast higher efficiency, faster cost reductions, lower resource utilization and higher annual energy production than parabolic trough concentrator systems. Power tower systems with storage can also operate with annual capacity factors of 75% and higher, unlike trough plants. Targeting tower systems with storage will also benefit the Australian Solar research and development community – for example, the CSIRO National Solar Energy Centre has a power tower research program. Therefore we recommend that power tower systems with at least 15h of molten salt storage be given preference for the Solar
Flagships program, provided that they form a competitive application.” With a capacity of 19MW, the Gemasolar plant can supply the energy of a city of 25,000 people, saving 30,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions each year. The technology provided by SENER includes not only the molten salt storage system, which is capable of reaching temperatures over 500 degrees centigrade, but also the receiver, critical part in this type of plants, which is able to absorb 95% of the radiation from the sun’s spectrum and transmit this energy to the salt compound that circulates within the receiver, as well as the Sensol software for sizing and optimising the plant. Torresol Energy aims to make concentration solar power an economically competitive option, making it a real, viable, environmentally sound, sustainable alternative to traditional energy. In striving towards its goal, the company has the full support of MASDAR, which is without doubt one of the main global actors in the renewable energy sector, and can rely on the experience amassed by SENER, an engineering company that has made innovation one of the main pillars of its business. In this way, the young CSP company will be able to fulfill the mission it laid out in March 2008 during its presentation: “To develop solar energy globally through investments in profitable and efficient Concentrating Solar Power plants and to pioneer new thermal solar energy technologies to drive down the cost of future units.” Its solar power plants with storage system, which can uninterruptedly produce clean, inexhaustible power, may define the medium-term outlook for solar power worldwide.

The “O” Factor The European Marine Energy Centre is leading the way for marine renewables

A
t first glance, it might seem remarkable that a small group of islands lies at the cutting edge of marine energy development. But perhaps the clue that explains why Orkney is playing a world leading role in the evolution of wave and tidal technologies lies in the word ‘islands’. Standing between the Atlantic and the North Sea, with fast flowing currents channelled between the outcrops of land that form this northern archipelago, Orkney is home to some of the most energy-rich waters in Europe. That’s why these islands were selected as the natural home for EMEC, the European Marine Energy Centre, 60
where new seagoing technologies are put through their paces in challenging wave and tidal conditions. EMEC is the first test facility of its kind in the world and has recently undergone an expansion funded by the UK Government’s Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC). There are now seven berths at the tidal energy test site at the Fall of Warness, where strong currents flow past the island of Eday. Here developers ‘plug in’ machines that convert tidal energy into electricity. The power they generate is then fed through seabed cables into the National Grid.
A growing flotilla of tidal turbines will be tested in the months and years ahead, alongside a device already installed by Irish company OpenHydro, which supplied the Grid with the first tidally generated electricity produced in the UK and Ireland. EMEC’s test site for wave energy converters, in Atlantic waters close to the town of Stromness and the legendary wartime anchorage of Scapa Flow, now has five gridconnected test berths. The Oyster wave energy converter (created by Edinburgh company Aquamarine Power) is currently under test here and will soon be joined by a giant ‘sea snake’. This is the Pelamis P2
EMEC
at EMEC as they evolve towards full commercial deployment at the Crown Estate sites. The sea contains vast energy reserves, but tapping those reserves in an often hostile environment will never be a ride in the park. It’s encouraging that those involved are realistic about the need to devote plenty of time and resources in building technologies that can crack one of engineering’s greatest challenges. “What’s exciting is to be in at the birth of a new industry – and to witness the determination to make marine renewables work displayed by the Scottish and UK Governments, public

machine built by another Edinbugh firm, Pelamis Wave Power, for energy utility E.ON UK. Like Oyster, it will undergo a comprehensive programme of trials at EMEC, which is accredited to provide an independent assessment of how the machines perform at sea – and their energy generating capabilities. “That’s the key,” said EMEC managing director Neil Kermode. “This is a fledgling industry with enormous potential, both as a truly sustainable source of energy, and to bring huge economic benefits to coastal communities like Orkney. “First the technology has to prove itself. And that’s why our unique gridconnected test facilities – based in waters so challenging they were once avoided by seafarers – have such an important role to play.” Earlier this year, the potential for marine energy devices to produce significant amounts of power was brought into sharp focus, when successful bidders were announced in the world’s first leasing round for commercial wave and tidal projects. The Crown Estate selected ten sites in the Pentland Firth, and in the waters around Orkney, where arrays of devices will one day form wave and tidal ‘farms’. The organisation that manages the seabed around the UK coast has set developers the “globally significant” challenge of generating 1.2 gigawatts (GW) of electricity by 2020, sufficient for around 750,000 homes. The power generation target – 600 megawatts each from wave and tidal projects – is equivalent to four times the electricity produced by the Dounreay nuclear power station in its heyday. “That puts the scale of the ambition neatly into context – along with the work that needs to be done to make it a reality,” said Mr Kermode. “We expect to see wave and tidal devices in increasing numbers tested

green enterprise district
East London goes Siemens Pavilion to become new East London landmark in Green Enterprise District
I
n May earlier this year, electronics giant Siemens announced plans to invest ÂŁ30 million in a new landmark building in East London as part of a new Green Enterprise District. The Siemens Pavilion building (to include an exhibition and conference centre), is due to be built and operational by early 2012. The plans were unveiled by the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, the chief executive of Siemens, Andreas J. Goss and the Mayor of Newham Borough Council, Sir Robin Wales. The Mayor
Green
explained that the Green Enterprise District will reach across East London, utilising the potential from undeveloped plots of industrial land to attract new investment, create up to 6,000 new jobs and develop new low carbon skills. Early findings from the London Development Agency on the potential of the low carbon economy show that stimulating the low carbon marketplace is a massive opportunity for business, requiring ÂŁ40-140bn of investment into London and creating a workforce of more than 200,000 by 2025. 63
The Green Enterprise District is designed to position London as a global leader of this low carbon economy and as part of that, the Siemens Pavilion will be built on land owned by the London Development Agency and Newham Borough Council. “A century ago, we were cashing in on carbon, yet now there are clear economic opportunities coming from getting rid of it. I want London to be ahead of the queue, grasping a significant share of the jobs and economic booty arising from this new generation of low carbon goods and services” stated Boris Johnson. “It is a clear sign of the confidence in London’s ability to nurture and support eco-enterprises that Siemens has chosen to locate its flagship centre of sustainability here in the UK capital. The Siemens Pavilion is set to sit at the 64
heart of a brand new Green Enterprise District, which will sweep across east of the city. We envisage that the District will be a vibrant, international hub incubating dozens of low carbon businesses to transform what has historically been some of the poorest parts of the capital.” The iconic Siemens building is planned as a permanent showcase for sustainable technologies and a destination for the public, customers and students to meet and explore the innovation required to achieve a low carbon society. Expecting to attract over 100,000 visitors a year in addition to the 230 Siemens employees permanently based there, the Siemens Pavilion will be located at the western end of the Royal Docks near to the ExCeL centre and London City airport. “I am delighted to announce our
plans to build the Siemens Pavilion. Our aim is to create an attractive focal point that celebrates London’s ambition and leadership in green technologies and sustainability” said Andreas J. Goss. “Siemens is at the heart of providing sustainable solutions from renewable energy generation, to low-carbon transport and urban infrastructure. I hope the Siemens Pavilion will act as a catalyst for wider community involvement in the debate about how we best address the challenge of climate change in our cities.” Siemens has appointed a consortium comprising Pringle Brandon and Wilkinson Eyre Architects to design and build the Siemens Pavilion (covering an area of 3,687m2 over three storeys, so the total area to be developed is 7,002m2).
green enterprise district
The building will be designed as a showcase for sustainable design and construction, maximising the use of natural daylight, and incorporating high performance glazing, photovoltaic panels, energy efficient lighting and metering. Rainwater harvesting, water efficient appliances, ground source heat pumps and solar water heating will all be integral to the ‘green’ design and the pavilion will be constructed using recycled steel and industrial by-product cement. Sustainable drainage and water efficient landscaping are also part of the plans to create a relaxing waterside environment around the building with an aim to design and build a facility that reaches the highest possible standards of sustainability. For more information, visit www.siemens.co.uk
LOCAL DEVELOPMENT
The Siemens Pavilion will include an exhibition space, open to the public; a 300-seat auditorium; facilities for educational tour groups; interactive exhibits; seating areas; a café; a shop; and outdoor seating areas and exhibits. “Nowhere else in the UK is undergoing transformation on the scale of Newham. London is moving east and there is huge potential here for investment, growth and greater prosperity. I am delighted a huge blue chip organisation such as Siemens plc has recognised this” said Mayor of Newham, Sir Robin Wales. “This new visitor attraction will put the Royal Docks on the national and international stage as a place for supporting new technology and innovation. Other high profile businesses with green credentials will never have a better opportunity to invest in the main host borough of the 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games.” 65

UK based 1 Call Research and Design proudly announces ‘The future of energy efficient heating is here’. The Comfort Zone heating system is the result of 5 years research into how an ideal system should work to achieve maximum energy efficiency and greatly improved user comfort. This requirement has been realised by providing full independent control of both time and temperature profiles for up to 8 rooms or zones. With the increasing complexity of domestic controls one of the main design requirements was to keep it simple. Comfort Zone can be programmed in seconds via a USB link to the controller. 1 Call’s sales Executive Ray Rich uses the parallel when you walk into your home do you switch on all the lights so why switch on all your heating? Only heating the rooms you need = Energy saving = Cost saving = Greater user comfort.

investigate into recycled biofuel and hybrid vehicles. After extensive trials we decided on a 100% recycled cooking oil biofuel solution which would give us a reduction on carbon. Biofuel was rolled out to our fleet and we joined the LowCVP. The biofuel is highly filtered to one micron. Just by using 100% recycled cooking oil we saved 81 tonnes of Co2 on 2007-2008. 2008 to 2009 we saved an additional 47 tonnes of C02. This gives us a total savings of 128 tonnes of C02 over the last year. We anticipate to reduce this figure even further this year and intend to continue our research for future savings.
