  1. Fostering New Off-Grid SolutionsNJ Clean Air CouncilApril 1, 2009

  2. Founded in New Brunswick, NJ in 1886 • 250 operating companies • Approximately 120,000 employees • 14,900 employees and retirees in NJ • Operations in 57 countries • 3 Divisions: Consumer, Pharmaceuticals, Medical Devices

  3. Climate Friendly Energy Policy1999/2003 Achieve a 7% absolute reduction in Green House Gas (CO2) emissions by 2010, compared to a base year of 1990

  4. CO2 Reduction Pathway: A Balanced Approach • Energy Efficiency • On-site Cogeneration • On-Site Renewables: Solar, Wind, LFG, Biomass, Geothermal • Green Power Purchases • Carbon Offsets & Sequestration

  5. CO2 Capital Funding Process August, 2004 • $40 million per year in capital relief for projects worldwide • Projects provide good financial returns: 10-15% Internal Rate of Return • Projects provide meaningful CO2 reduction

  6. CO2 Reduction Projects since 2005 • 63 projects approved for funding • $128.3 million US • 120,000 metric tons CO2/yr • Average IRR: 17.3% • 45 Projects Complete

  7. EfficiencyEnergy Best PracticesRev. 2007 • Stage 1: Management Practices & Continuous Improvement • Stage 2: Energy Purchasing & Monitoring • Stage 3: Air Handling (HVAC) • Stage 4: Motors & Pumps • Stage 5: Boiler Systems • Stage 6: Chiller Systems • Stage 7: Electrical & On-site Generation • Stage 8: Lighting • Stage 9: Compressed Air • Stage 10: Manufacturing & Other Load Reductions

  8. Geothermal Projects DePuy - St. Priest, FranceGeothermal Heating / Cooling System • Ground water heat pump • Provides all heating & most cooling for 7,000 s.m. HQ building Vistakon – Limerick, IrelandGeothermal Cooling System • Utilizes underground water flow

  9. Biomass Projects Cilag, Schaffhausen, Switzerland Wood Chip Boiler ALZA, Mountain View, CA Landfill Gas Generation Installation of 3 MW of electrical power Waste heat recovery • 350 kW boiler provides heating for distribution center Centocor, Cork, Ireland Biomass Boiler • 2.1 MW boiler provides process & HVAC steam

  10. J&J China, Shanghai Domestic Hot Water Solar Thermal Projects McNeil ConsumerFt. Washington, PA124 kW Thermal System for Boiler Pre-heat

  11. Cogeneration Projects Ortho Clinical Diagnostics – Raritan, NJGas Turbine, 2007 • 1.6 MW – Kawasaki Gas Fired Turbine • Heat recovery, steam generation Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceuticals Raritan, NJ Reciprocating Engine, 2009 • 3.5 MW – Jenbacher Engine • Heat recovery, hot water

  12. Hyatt Hotel – New Brunswick – March 2009 Currently have three new solar projects in development at NJ locations.

  13. Commitment to Sustainable DesignAll new construction to be LEED certified

  14. RC-1 Laboratory, Springhouse Campus, PA J&J PRD Lab Goes for LEED GOLD Designed to operate using 45 % less energy than ASHRAE 90.1- 2004

  15. NJ Track Record of Leadership • NJ BPU Clean Energy Program • Renewable Portfolio Standard • NJ Global Warming Response Act • RGGI • NJ Energy Master Plan • LEV Program • NEEP Energy Efficiency Strategy for NJ • Draft Global Warming Response Act Recommendation Report

  16. Moving Forward… • Execute on plans, with emphasis in the short term on efficiency, equipment standards (CFL’s, appliances, etc) and building codes. • Continue to support distributed generation by industry: cogeneration, biomass, solar. • Industry’s role – Run businesses efficiently and implement distributed generation projects where it makes sense. • Utilities’ role – Deliver low-carbon power. Execute CHP, solar, wind, biomass on a scale that is cost effective. Utilities must be rewarded for selling less. • The net impact on GHG emissions should be a critical consideration for all State decisions.

  17. Moving forward… • Support national climate change legislation to set targets and timetables based on science (IPCC) and establish an economy-wide cap & trade system (allow RGGI to become part of a national system). See USCAP Blueprint for Legislative Action at www.us-cap.org • A national cap & trade system will establish a market-based price for carbon that will drive innovation and investment to meet environmental goals at the lowest cost.
