6. Global Energy Challenges • Overarching Challenges: • Carbon reduction • Market delivery of clean energy technologies • Research anddevelopment needs • Economic growth • Workforce development Security Clean Energy Solutions Environment Economy Energy efficiency and renewable energy provide solutions to global energy challenges.

7. Global Energy Solutions: Energy Efficiency End-use efficiency is key to abatement of GHG emissions from energy consumption. World abatement of energy-related CO2 emissions in the 450 Scenario, 2007-2030 End-useefficiency End-use potential Gt CO2 Power plants Renewables Biofuels Nuclear CCS Source: OECD/IEA 2009, World Energy Outlook 2009. Notes: Gt refers to gigatons of carbon dioxide. “End-use efficiency” includes Buildings, Appliances, Lighting, Transportation, and Industry.

8. Realizing Potential: Transformational Change Incremental change will not be enough. Economic, climate, and energy security challenges require transformational change. Transforming the energy landscape necessitates strong policy.

9. Solution: Building a Clean Energy Economy Building the clean energy economy requires a planned, systematic approach: • Drive high-impact innovation • Move innovation to the marketplace rapidly and at scale • Attract the best and brightest people • Communicate plans and achievements to engage the public

10. Opportunities: Innovation Focus Areas • Renewable Energy • Solar • Wind • Biomass/Biofuels • Water Power • Geothermal • Energy Efficiency • Building Technologies • Weatherization • Vehicle Technologies • Industrial Technologies • Fuel Cells • Federal Energy Management

11. Renewable Energy Opportunities Capturing Sunlight Converting Biomass Water Power Harnessing the Wind

12. Biomass Opportunities • Converting Biomass for Transportation: • In 2010, the U.S. produced 13 billion gallons of ethanol–meeting 7% of light duty fuel needs. • Since 2006, the U.S. has led the world in ethanol production. • ~10 million flexible-fuel vehicles are on U.S. roads.

13. Solar Energy Opportunities • Capturing Sunlight: • U.S. goals are to enable solarenergy to be cost-competitive by2015 and to accelerate widespread market penetration through: • Photovoltaics (PV) • Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) • Systems (Grid) Integration • Market Transformation Dish Tower Trough

14. Wind Opportunities • Harnessing the Wind: • The United States has 41,281 MW of installed wind capacity (as of 2011 Q1), the second most of any country in the world. • More than 5,000 MW of wind generating capacity was added in the United States in 2010—25% of all new electric capacity. • The United States has the potential for wind energy to supply 20% of the nation’s electricity by 2030. • The immense offshore U.S. wind resource (>4,000,000 MW) remains an untapped market.

15. Hydropower Opportunities • Water Power: • Largest current source of clean, domestic, renewable energy in U.S. • 257 million megawatt-hours (MWh) of electricity was generated from conventional hydropower in 2010—7% of all U.S. electricity production • Currently in early-stage development of marine and hydrokinetic energy industries

16. Geothermal Opportunities • Geothermal Energy: • The United States is the world leader in online capacity of geothermal energy and electric power generation. • Installed capacity is 3,100 Mwe. • Total of 123 new projects are underway in 15 states, totaling an additional 3,500 Mwe. • Potential of enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) is >100 GW by 2050.

17. Building Efficiency Opportunities Building technologies available today can lower energy use and reduce pollution—at a low or negative net cost. • Building energy codes and appliance standards • Cost-effective, energy-efficientbuilding technologies and practices • Building envelopes • Equipment • Lighting, daylighting, windows • Cool roofs • Advanced sensors and controls  • Combined heating, cooling, and power • Whole building design

18. Industrial Efficiency Opportunities Energy efficiency can yield cost, productivity, energy supply resiliency, and competitiveness benefits to industry. • Develop Next-Generation Manufacturing Processes & Materials • Manufacturing processes that limit energy intensity • Materials technologies that lower life-cycle energy consumption and provide low-cost, high performance • Foster the Energy Management Industry • Identify, deploy, certify, and reward effective energy management • Develop tools and protocols to enable industry to measure and manage energy usage • Promote education and hands-on training for a new generation of energy management engineers

19. Vehicle Efficiency Opportunities Energy efficiency can improve fuel efficiency, reduce GHG emissions, and reduce national dependence on imported oil. • Research and development • Electric vehicles and components • Nonconventional fuels and lubricants • Advanced engine technologies • Lightweight, high-performance materials • Partnerships with state and local organizations • Deployment and education

20. Global Energy Management System Standard ISO 50001: New energy management standard for buildings and industry • Potential Impacts: • Could influence up to 60% of the world’s energy use across many economic sectors • Companies will implement the standard in response to: • Corporate sustainability programs • Energy cost reduction initiatives • Demand created along the manufacturing supply chain • Carbon and energy legislation and international climate agreements

21. Global Superior Energy Performance In July 2010, at the Clean Energy Ministerial, the U.S. launched a Global Energy Efficiency Challenge with initiatives in appliances, buildings, industry, vehicles, and the Smart Grid. Canada Australia Brazil Belgium EU China Germany Denmark India Indonesia France Italy Japan Korea Mexico Norway Russia United Arab Emirates United Kingdom Spain United States South Africa

22. A Clean Energy Future • “…Now is the time to change the way that we use energy. Together, we must confront climate change by ending the world’s dependence on fossil fuels, by tapping the power of new sources of energy like the wind and sun, and calling upon all nations to do their part. And I pledge to you that in this global effort, the United States is now ready to lead.” • - President Obama, April 5, 2009 • Prague, Czech Republic
