  1. Uniting Leaders for a Common Energy Goal Oklahoma Renewable Energy Council November 14, 2007 Oklahoma City, OK Brent Bailey 25x’25 Facilitator

  2. Energy Use Projections U.S. imports nearly 65% of our petroleum needs; predicted to only increase

  3. America’s Energy Future U.S. Energy Use Total = 7 Quadrillion Btu Total = 100.2 Quadrillion Btu 4% Wind Natural Gas 23% Coal 23% 42% Hydroelectric Renewable Energy 5% Geothermal 7% 48% Biomass Nuclear Electric 8% 1% Solar Petroleum 40% Source: From the Energy Information Administration, Annual Ener gy Review for 2006

  4. Oklahoma Energy Consumption by Source, 2003

  5. Ranked 11th in the nation for per capita energy consumption and ranked 25th for total energy consumption, despite being ranked 47th for per capita income. Large industrial and transportation use; ~25% of households have electricity as primary heating source; all coal comes from out of state; no nuclear. Oklahoma’s Energy Use Source: EIA

  6. The 13 Southeastern states use 40% of total energy consumed in the U.S. Texas leads nation in coal, nat gas, and petroleum use Total consumption per capita: 9 of top 15 states are Southeastern states Southeast Energy Use

  7. Judged in six categories: carbon footprint, air quality, water quality, hazardous waste management, energy efficiency policy initiatives, and energy consumption. Botton 10: MO, ND, TN, AR, KY, MS, LA, AL, IN, and WV – “lots of pollution and consumption and no clear plans to do anything about it.” Oklahoma - #38 on list Forbes Green State Rankings

  8. Source: State of Georgia Energy Strategy Development Materials

  9. Energy Information Administration has projected costs to increase 4 to 22 percent for natural gas, heating oil, propane, and electricity this winter. The International Energy Agency (IEA) projects a 50 percent increase in worldwide demand for energy between now and 2030. Other Concerns

  10. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) estimates that America's total energy demand will increase 30 percent by 2030. All the more reasons to strongly support U.S. bioenergy production and use Other Concerns

  11. U.S. accounts for 25% of global consumption, but holds 3% of reserves and has 4% of global population. Demand is nearly equal to supply + global political unrest = volatile prices. Oil price: $96+/barrel But…..what other country has the standard of living that we enjoy? Drinking water, waste water, mobility, heating/cooling, food production…..all takes energy! U.S. Oil Addiction

  12. Pres. Bush declares America is “addicted to oil” Cellulosic and biomass on public stage Venture capital investments set new record while federal funding for renewable energy programs were cut Biofuel production ahead of RFS Wind energy surpassed 10 GW Solar efficiency breakthroughs (>40%) Prior to end of 109th Cong., Cong. passed legislation extending important TCs until 2008 Congressional leadership shifts A Look Back on 2006

  13. Pres. Bush issues a new biofuels challenge – “20 in 10” DOE issues $400+M in grants to facilities that will utilize cellulosic ethanol conversion technologies Venture capital investments in renewable energy continue – here and abroad House passes Farm Bill and Energy Bill; Senate debating Farm Bill and Senate passed Energy Bill 25x’25 Action Plan introduced 2007….Thus Far

  14. 25x’25 Initiative: Renewable energy initiative born in the ag and forestry sectors; formed in 2004 Seeks to forge consensus on a new energy future Organized to explore agriculture and forestry’s role in energy production

  15. 25x’25 Initiative: Four-phase project Create the Vision Tested the Vision/Built an Alliance Created a pathway to the Vision Implement the Vision

  16. Our Vision: By the year 2025, America’s farms, ranches and forests will provide 25 percent of the total energy consumed in the U.S. while continuing to produce safe, abundant and affordable food, feed and fiber. 25x’25

  17. 25x’25 Today (2006) Goal (2025) 31.75 Quads Renewable Energy = 25% ~7 Quads Renewable Energy = 7% 100.2 Quads Total Energy Consumed EIA predicts consumption of 127 Quads by 2025

  18. We will meet this goal by: • Producing transportation fuels • Harnessing wind energy • Converting biogas emissions • Utilizing geothermal resources • Capturing solar energy • Providing biomass for generating heat, power, and biofuels (~half of RE needs) • Observing the benefits to the environment and increasing energy efficiency
