  2. Who We Are… ----- West Virginia Public Energy Authority Energy Efficiency Program Coalfield Community Development

  3. West Virginia Energy Opportunities Document www.energywv.org Our overall goal is to displace 1.3 billion gallons of oil by 2030. That figure represents 60% of our state oil use, our nation’s current level of oil imports. Our savings are reflected in oil use reductions as well as enhanced resource development.

  4. We have a growing dependence on imported oil supplies • Five years ago the daily excess worldwide oil capacity was 3-4 mmbbl. Today - 0 • The monthly Federal trade deficit is $60 billion. Monthly oil imports cost the U.S. $35 billion • 2/3 of world’s oil reserves are in the Persian Gulf region

  5. The changing world of oil production

  6. W.Va. Coal Distributionfor Power Generation

  7. Conventional Formations Unconventional Formations Natural Gas Deposits Have Been Discovered Across the U.S

  8. Many state renewable portfolios allow wood-fired electric hydro, solar and wind generation as options West Virginia renewable projects now in place provide more than 1,000 megawatts to other PJM state portfolios Renewable Portfolio Standards

  9. States with Portfolio Standards

  10. West Virginia existing and planned electric capacity 2009 Wind: 1,011mw 8 % Hydro: 391 mw* *Licensed+unbuilt+underway+outside FERC

  11. West Virginia’s Renewable Portfolio Standards • Renewable and Alternative Options in the Standard • Special consideration to projects on Surface Mined Sites • 10% by 2015; 25% by 2025 • Energy Efficiency incentives in the project as well

  12. Wind Project Development in West Virginia • Operational Wind Projects (330 MW) • Shell Wind Energy/Dominion/Nedpower (Mount Storm) 264 MW • Florida Power and Light (WV Wind Energy Center) 66 MW • Permitted wind projects (461 MW): • Invenergy ( Beech Ridge) 186 MW • US Wind Force (Mt. Storm) 150 MW • AES (Laurel Mountain) 125 MW • Project before the WVPSC • AES (New Creek) 165 MW • US Wind Force – (Pinnacle) 55 MW

  13. Licensed Hydroelectric Energy in West Virginia London/Marmet, Kanawha River Winfield, Kanawha River Millville, Shenandoah River Lake Lynn, Monongahela River Hawks Nest & Glen Ferris, New River Dam No. 4 Hydro Station, Potomac River Dam No. 5 Hydro Station, Potomac River Racine L & D, Ohio River New Martinsville, Ohio River Belleville, Ohio River Summersville, Gauley River

  14. Preliminary licensed hydroelectric facilities • Tygart Dam: 20mw • R.D. Bailey Project: 7.8mw • Sutton: 12mw • Jennings Randolph: 10.5mw • Robert C. Byrd: 48mw • Opekiska Lock and Dam (Mon River): 10mw • Hildebrand Lock and Dam (Mon River): 10mw • Morgantown Lock and Dam (Mon River): 9mw FERC

  15. Hamer Pellet Fuel operates plants in Elkins and Mt. Hope Lignetics of West Virginia operates a plant near Glenville, W.Va. The pellet industry in West Virginia

  16. Exports to meet EU electrical needs. Commercial applications including institutional and agricultural applications (poultry houses). Pellet market growth prospects

  17. Biomass advantages in coal projects • Biomass can be up to 50 percent of the BTU input. • Co-firing and carbon sequestration can address CTL’s environmental issues. • Idaho National Laboratory study indicates that CTL liquids could have the same environmental impact (well to wheel) as conventional petroleum products with biomass co-firing and sequestration.

  18. Issues for biomass in coal projects • Concentration of biomass supply at a central point is a primary concern • Assuming a 25% biomass blend, a 10,000 b/d plant would require 1.5 million tons of coal a year and 1 million tons of biomass • The Baard CTL plant is designed for 50,000 b/d • West Virginia’s use of imported oil could be offset with a 100,000 b/d CTL plant

  19. Helping to relieve the gasoline demand crunch Cellulosic ethanol is envisioned as a way to reduce use of imported oils Source:USDOE EIA Annual Energy Outlook

  20. Barriers to cellulosic ethanol use • Contains less BTU energy than gasoline • Conversion technologies are still being advanced • Like corn-based ethanol, it is corrosive

  21. Cellulosic ethanol • Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) expands the Renewable Fuel Standard to 36 billion gal/yr of renewable fuel by 2022 • Corn ethanol limited to 15 billion of 36 billion gallons in 2022 • Remaining 21 billion gallons is advanced biofuels • Biodiesel must be at least 1 billion gallons in 2022 • 1/3 of current US corn crop now goes for 8 billion gallons of ethanol

  22. West Virginia already has biofuels available • Biodiesel • Fuel produced from domestic, renewable resources • Can be blended at any level with petroleum diesel to create a biodiesel blend • Ethanol • An alcohol-based fuel made by fermenting and distilling crops that have been broken down into simple sugars • In the United States, ethanol is generally made from starch crops such as corn or sorghum

  23. E85 in West Virginia • Two public retail E85 locations • Dulaney Oil Co. Ltd. Exxon • 144 Dents Run Rd. 50 Genesis Blvd. • Morgantown, WV 26505 Bridgeport WV 26330 • Must be used in an FFV (Flexible Fuel Vehicle). About forty FFV models are available in 2009: Chrysler, Ford, General Motors, Mazda, Mercedes, Isuzu, Nissan and now Toyota flexible fuel vehicle (FFV) models See http://www.e85fuel.com/e85101/flexfuelvehicles.php
