1 Clean Energy Technologies Dick Munson Recycled Energy Development Congressional Distributed Energy Caucus 27 March 2007

2 Key Points Distributed generation can be big or small Industrials are leaders on clean energy technologies Think outside the box – enormous potential for cogeneration (CHP) and recycled energy Focus on efficiency – which leads to reduced costs and reduced pollution Take advantage of Farm Bill and energy- independence legislation

3 Why Consider Alternatives? Average plant built with 1950s technology Only 33% efficiency; burn three “lumps” of fuel to obtain one “lump” of electricity Electric generators are largest polluters Unreliable supplies cost $150 billion U.S. consumer loses power 214 min/yr; 70 min/yr in UK; 6 min/yr in Japan

4 Electricity Prices to Rise New coal plant costs $2,500/kw, up from $800/kw in late 1990s Clean Air Interstate Regulations (CAIR) and Clean Air Mercury Regulations will add $550- 850/kw for existing plants Pending costs: transmission expansion, greenhouse-gas reductions (carbon credits of $20/ton would add 2 cents/kwh), fuel-cost volatility (3-5 times above 1990 levels; long-term contracts now below spot market) Prices could double in 5-10 years.

5 Conventional Central Generation Fuel 100% 33% delivered electricity Power Plant T&D and Transformers Pollution 67% Total Waste Line Losses 9%

6 Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Fuel 100% Steam Electricity Chilled Water 90% 10% Waste Heat, no T&D loss Pollution (At or near thermal users) CHP Plants

7 Recycled Energy (At user sites) Waste Energy 100% 10% Waste Heat Steam Generator 65% Steam 25% Electricity Back-pressure Turbine Generator No Added Pollution

8 Mittal Steel – Coke Oven Waste 93 megawatts and 1MM pounds of steam/hour

9 Southport, N.C. CHP/burns coal and tires/steam to ADM and 120 megawatts

10 Boskovitch Farms, Oxnard, CA steam/refrigeration/48 MW for food processor

11 Industrial Clean Energy Technologies Waste energy streams in 19 industries could generate 19% of U.S. electricity Source: USEPA/LBNL 2005 Study Identified Opportunities 96,000 MW Recycled Energy in Service 9,900 MW

12 Clean Energy Technologies: Think Outside the Box Back-pressure power recovery Natural gas pressure recovery turbines Black liquor gasification Anaerobic digestion Lawrence Berkeley Lab (LBNL-57451)

13 Policy Options Performance credits to ensure biofuel production is efficient (Farm Bill) Energy-Savings Insurance Energy Efficiency Resource Standard Tax Credit Interconnection Standards Net Metering Appropriations for DOE and EPA efforts
