  1. Alternative energy technology in Israel Innovation in Israel March 2008 Wellesley , USA David Waimann & Guy Kol

  2. 6 categories • Clean power stations – hydro, wind, solar, geothermal, nuclear?, • Bio-fuels- cellulose, algae, new seeds, processes • Vehicle power-electric battery, hybrid, fuel cell, microturbine. • Waste-to-energy. gasification, pyrolysis, biomass. • Energy efficient processes/building. • Making existing technologies cleaner and more efficient.

  3. 1. Clean power stations Solar Size of market $billions 2007 2015 Photovoltaics 10 25 Solar water heating 0.6 3 Solar thermal 0.5 45 Concentrator PV 0 ?

  4. Some commercial and development initiatives • Solaroll – roll to roll manufacture of amorphous PV. • Faiman - Very large concentrator dish. • Luz2 – high temp. carnot for large scale • TOU- Millenium- Hybrid systems combining PV, water and space heating. • Solel- thermal concentrators. • Dov Raviv- Fresnel arrays • Puredrop- Concentrators PV. • Gordon- Feiermann – mini-concentrators - Solfocus • Technion solar tower. • DISP – small PV concentrators • SRS – split spectrum system • IAI- MLM solar satellite arrays. • Zenith – Concentrators. • MLM concentrators. • Chromagen/ Nimrodi/Rand – solar thermal

  5. solar applications Solar Water Power stations Special applications Industrial + CHP BIPV DIY & Rooftop Satellite space Residential grid connect SHS Portable & consumer

  6. Examples of Israeli solar technologies

  7. Solar Home Systems module 3G Solar’s PV module

  8. 2. Biofuels

  9. Category 2 - Biofuels The problem Tonnes of oil per Hectare Algae photo-bioreactor 100 Open Raceway Algae 15 Palm 5 Rape Seed 1 Corn 0.15

  10. Algae technologies Algae sequestration of carbon dioxide Algae to biodiesel

  11. Application 3 Application 3

  12. 3. Vehicle Power Project Better Place

  13. Electroturbine -technology • Flex-fuel • Bio-diesel • Hydrogen • Petrol • CNG • … • Advanced • driving motors • power train Novel microturbine Battery pack

  14. The killer combination Solar energy ( mostly thermal) with EV - providing clean electricity for home, industry, and vehicle use. Costs in 2012 in cents per kWh. Nuclear ( including disposal) 11 Solar thermal 12 Coal scrubbed SOx - 6 Coal with CO2 scrubbed 9 Cost of switching to solar and scrubbed coal… ? Why bother with anything else?
