Advanced Energy Activity in Cleveland and Northern Ohio Energy and Environmental AdvancementThe Cleveland Foundation
Clean energy production: Renewables (wind, solar, bio) Nuclear and low-emission coal-fired electricity (including carbon sequestration) Fuel cells Energy efficiency solutions: Low-energy lighting, heating/cooling for buildings High-efficiency industrial processes Hybrid drivetrains for vehicles Energy storage innovations: Advanced batteries Super/ultra-capacitors “Advanced Energy” in Ohio
Materials science leadership Significant manufacturing resources Central geographic location with excellent transportation Why Ohio for Advanced Energy?
Many very active in advanced energy Ohio Industrial Leaders
25% of supply for each Ohio utility must come from “advanced energy” sources by 2025 ½ (12.5%) from renewables ½ from in-state Solar “carve-out”: 0.5% by 2025 from solar Requirements begin by end of 2009, ramp-up to 2025 Alternative compliance payment if utilities fail to comply Ohio Advanced Energy Law

Ohio Research Capabilities 187 institutions of higher-education (95,000 degrees issued annually) University Clean Energy Alliance of Ohio (UCEAO, uceao.org), including: Case Western Reserve University (Great Lakes Institute of Energy Innovation) University of Toledo (Center for Photovoltaics Innovation and Commercialization) Ohio State University (Center for Automotive Research, Agriculture Research & Development Center) Ohio University (Voinovich Center’s Consortium for Energy, Economics and the Environment) University of Akron 10 other Ohio universities Battelle Memorial Institute, operator of several U.S. research facilities, including: National Renewable Energy Laboratory Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Leading aerospace research, including: NASA Glenn Research Center U.S. Air Force Wright Patterson Ohio Corporate R&D centers, including: Timken Owens-Corning Parker Hannifin Sherwin Williams Lincoln Electric Ohio’s Third Frontier Program for research & development ($1.6 billion over 10 years) Regional excellence in materials science (2nd most funding in U.S.)
Launched late 2007 with $5.6 million in grants from Cleveland Foundation and Maltz Foundation, under Dean Norman Tien (School of Engineering) Purpose: to integrate energy-related research across CWRU’s departments and schools into one focal point for better collaboration and external interface Goal: to establish CWRU as one of the world’s leading engineering schools and attract best/brightest students (and future entrepreneurs), using energy/environment as the main research priority Key people: Faculty Director: Iwan Alexander Executive Director: Dianne Anderson (former BP executive) 3 new faculty positions in renewables, energy storage, energy efficiency Case Western Reserve University: Great Lakes Institute of Energy Innovation http://www.case.edu/energy/
Market: 4500 MW of wind installation expected by 2025 as a result of recent Ohio energy law Potential for many GW of offshore wind in Lake Erie Manufacturing: Ohio ranked 2nd among U.S. states in labor force and industrial base relevant to wind industry Dozens of manufacturing firms already actively supplying wind turbine OEMs worldwide, especially for bearings, castings and forgings R&D: Great Lakes Wind Energy Center (involving Case Western Reserve University’s Institute of Energy Innovation) to facilitate development of offshore and next-generation wind technologies Global R&D centers for major suppliers to wind industry (Timken, Parker Hannifin, Owens Corning) Wind Energy in Ohio
Focus areas: Building science/technology foundation through basic and applied research in PV Developing related device and system components Building a full system-integration infrastructure for residential and commercial Developing a skilled PV workforce, informed consumers, rational public policy Statewide collaboration: Academia: University of Toledo (host) Ohio State University Bowling Green State University 13 companies, including: DuPont Owens Corning Pilkington Not-for-profit organizations: Battelle Edison Materials Technology Center (EMTEC) Green Energy Ohio (GEO) $18.6 million from Ohio, $30 million from federal agencies and partners
Since 2002, $100+ million invested by Ohio to establish leadership in fuel cell sector: Ohio Fuel Cell Coalition (association to advance commercial fuel cell interests) Wright Fuel Cell Group (university research collaboration and facilities for fuel cell R&D) Third Frontier grants for company-led fuel cell R&D projects Significant companies in fuel cell value chain located or relocated in Ohio: Rolls-Royce GrafTech Parker Hannifin Swagelok Pacific Fuel Cells UltraCell Ohio Fuel Cell Initiative
$150 million (grants and low-interest loans) over next 3 years to deploy advanced energy projects in Ohio $66 million for advanced coal $84 million for other $24 million in technology development grants in 2009 for advanced energy $11 million for fuel cells $13 million for other Ohio $$$ for Advanced Energy
Ohio is an industrial powerhouse in the U.S., and is focusing on growing its advanced energy sector Within Ohio, many collaborations underway across government, academia and companies to expand advanced energy Summary
