  1. Capturing Energy Waste Dick Munson Senior Vice President, Recycled Energy Development, LLCVirtual Energy ConferenceJune 11, 2008 RED | the new green www.recycled-energy.com

  2. Overview • Energy waste is pervasive. • Focus on supply-side efficiency. Inefficient generation of heat and power is elephant in the room. • See climate change legislation as an economic opportunity. Focus on the profitable reduction of greenhouse-gas emissions. RED | the new green www.recycled-energy.com

  3. Homer Simpson’s Power Plant (Springfield, ?) RED | the new green www.recycled-energy.com

  4. Real Electric Generation Plant (Craig, CO) Two-thirds of the fuel’s energy is vented to atmosphere. RED | the new green www.recycled-energy.com

  5. Inefficient Power System • Three units of fuel are used to generate each unit of power – 33 percent efficiency. • Efficiency has not improved since President Eisenhower. • Thomas Edison’s power plants achieved 50% efficiency by capturing excess heat to warm nearby buildings. • U.S. is an international laggard. Germany, Japan, and other industrialized countries capture heat and power at more than twice the U.S. rate. RED | the new green www.recycled-energy.com

  6. Decline of electric-sector efficiency • Implications: • US grid less efficient than 100 years ago • We pay too much for electricity so we can emit too much CO2 • $70 billion potential savings if US returned to 1920s model RED | the new green www.recycled-energy.com

  7. Electric Generation’s Increasing Contribution to Domestic CO2 Emissions US Electric Power Sector’s CO2 Emissions RED | the new green www.recycled-energy.com

  8. US Carbon Dioxide Emissions, 2005 Breakdown of Emitting Sources: Heat & Power; 69% of all fossil fuel CO2 emissions RED | the new green www.recycled-energy.com

  9. 220 MW from Steel Smelter’s Waste Energy • Significantly enhances mill’s competitive position. • Annual CO2 savings of 916,000 metric tons/year – more than all grid connected solar worldwide. Courtesy Primary Energy RED | the new green www.recycled-energy.com

  10. $55-million investment Recycles exhaust into 45 megawatts More efficient plant will expand production and jobs by 20% We are taking silicon manufacturing back from China! 44 MW from Silicon Production (Alloy, WV) RED | the new green www.recycled-energy.com

  11. 1.2 MW of electric capacity 17,500 tons of chilled water 290,000 lbs/hr of steam 26 downtown customers Trigen Energy Trigeneration in Oklahoma City RED | the new green www.recycled-energy.com

  12. Industrial Waste Heat Recovery (6 Projects) Steam Pressure Recovery (190 Projects) Combined Heat & Power (56 Projects) U.S. Delivered Electric Efficiency Efficiencies of Energy Recycling Projects RED | the new green www.recycled-energy.com

  13. Clean Energy Standard Offer Program (CESOP) • Calculate the true costs of generating and delivering power from new centralized facilities. • Offer 20-year CESOP contracts to anyone delivering clean power for 80% of that cost.   • Consumers obtain a discount against current best deal for new power. Utilities keep their customers. RED | the new green www.recycled-energy.com

  14. Output-Based Allocations • Provide each electric (and thermal) producer with allowances equal to average emissions. • Every plant must obtain allowances equal to its CO2 emissions – dirty plants purchase extra allowances from clean plants at market rates. • Reduce allowances every year to cut emissions. • Fiscally neutral – dirty generators pay clean generators. • Provides both sticks and carrots – immediate financial incentives to everyone who lowers GHG emissions.
