“A sustainable energy future is possible"

“A sustainable energy future is possible" news from the International Energy Agency (IEA) :

Energy technology scenarios and strategies for a more secure and sustainable energy future


22 June 2006 Paris --- Energy technology scenarios and strategies for a more secure and sustainable energy future

“Technologies can make a difference”, said Claude Mandil, Executive Director of the International Energy Agency (IEA) today in Paris, presenting the key findings of a new IEA publication: Energy Technology Perspectives: Scenarios and Strategies to 2050. “A sustainable energy future is possible, but only if we act urgently and decisively to promote, develop and deploy a full mix of energy technologies – including improved energy efficiency, CO2 capture and storage (CCS), renewables and -- where acceptable -- nuclear energy. We have the means, now we need the will”, Mr. Mandil added.

Energy Technology Perspectives is part of the Agency's response to the call from G8 leaders at their Summit in Gleneagles in July 2005 for the IEA to advise on alternative scenarios and strategies aimed at a “clean, clever and competitive energy future”. Running up to the St. Petersburg G8 summit the study presents a series of scenarios to demonstrate the role energy technologies that are already available or under development can play in future energy markets. “We find that clean and more efficient technologies can return soaring energy-related CO2 emissions to today’s levels by 2050 and halve the expected growth in both oil and electricity demand”, Mr. Mandil said.

Released against a backdrop of historically high oil prices and global CO2 emissions from energy use almost 25% higher than a decade ago, this groundbreaking IEA publication takes a detailed look at status and prospects for key energy technologies in power generation, buildings, industry and transport. It puts forward strategies for attaining scenarios unimaginable under current trends.

Energy efficiency is essential to mitigate growth in energy demand and CO2 emissions

“Improved energy efficiency is an indispensable component of any policy mix”, said Mr. Mandil, “and it is available immediately”. Accelerating energy efficiency improvements alone can reduce the world’s energy demand in 2050 by an amount equivalent to almost half of today’s global energy consumption. To achieve this, however, “governments, in both OECD and non-OECD countries, must be willing to implement measures that encourage the investment in energy-efficient technologies“, Mr. Mandil added.

Decarbonising power generation is possible

Another key technology is the capture and storage of CO2 emitted from power-generation or industrial processes. The study points out that the early demonstration of CCS in full-scale power plants should be a high priority. “If we do not succeed in making CCS viable, the cost of mitigating CO2 emissions will be much higher”, Mr Mandil warned.

Deploying CCS, along with more renewables, more nuclear and more efficient use of natural gas and coal, can significantly decarbonise global electricity generation by 2050. “With the right policy incentives we think there is scope for renewables to quadruple by 2050 and for nuclear to gain a more important role in countries where it is acceptable”, Mr. Mandil stated.

Alternative Fuel Cars Provide a Solution to Today’s Gas Prices: American Honda Motor Co. Inc. Describes Their Innovations

Alternative Fuel Cars Provide a Solution to Today’s Gas Prices: American Honda Motor Co. Inc. Describes Their Innovations
RenewableEnergyStocks.com – Presents an Audio Interview with American Honda Motor Co. Inc. on Evolving in Today’s Alternative Energy Market
POINT ROBERTS, Wash., Delta, B.C. - June 19, 2006 - www.RenewableEnergyStocks.com and www.FuelCellCarNews.com leading investor and industry portals for the renewable energy and fuel cell sectors presents an audio interview with Gunnar Lindstrom, Senior Manager of Honda Alternative Fuels, Stephen Ellis, Manager of Fuel Cell Marketing and Chris Martin, Honda Public Relations spokesman. With the demand for alternative fuel vehicles remaining clear amidst concern over depleting oil and fuel resources, the drive in the market to produce a better range of options increases. As many of these technologies continue to evolve, the goal of making the alternative fuel vehicle an easier choice is at the forefront as companies strive to increase marketability and target a wider range of drivers.

In terms of getting to a point where the Company is less reliant on gasoline fueled vehicles, Gunnar Lindstrom says, “It’s just hard work over a long period of time.” American Honda Motor Co. Inc., the sales, marketing and distribution arm of Honda Motor Co. Ltd. (NYSE: HMC) reports that the Company plans to refine its own zero-emission FCX vehicle over the next 3-4 years.

As they move ahead in the development of new alternative fuel vehicles, Stephen Ellis reflects the Company had at first learned quite a lot through its initial sale of electric cars, whereby they noticed that people were pleased to refill at home. Hence the Company developed the idea to design home refueling stations, in combination with new home heating technologies. The Company also believes this kind of strategic thinking will be prevalent in the design of future products. The Satellite Linked Navigation System is an example of new innovations which will serve to improve convenience for drivers who are making alternative choices.

In an effort to make alternative fuel cars more marketable, Honda has formed a solid link between their new technology and the existing infrastructure at hand. In this respect Ellis says the company is highly aware that, “As we deploy vehicles with a limited refueling infrastructure, people are going to want to have the confidence to get behind the wheel and know that they are not going to drive beyond the limits of where the refueling stations are.” In terms of overall strategy Lindstrom reports, “We believe that once you have mastered conservation and high efficiency through good gas and hybrid cars, the next step is towards natural gas vehicles and ultimately, it would lead to fuel cell vehicles in the next decade or two.”

Convergence of Renewable Energy and Transportation Technology Embraces Hydrogen, Hybrids, Plug-Ins and Ethanol

Convergence of Renewable Energy and Transportation Technology Embraces Hydrogen, Hybrids, Plug-Ins and Ethanol
RenewableEnergyStocks.com – ZAP, DynaMotive, Alchemy Enterprises, DaimlerChrysler and Honda Motor Look to the Emerging Alternative Energy Transportation Market

POINT ROBERTS, Wash., June 1st, 2006 - www.RenewableEnergyStocks.com (RES) a leading investor and industry portal for the renewable energy sector presents, “Traveling the Highway to a Renewable Energy Future: A Look At Innovation in Transportation.” Perspectives from global companies ZAP, DaimlerChrysler, Alchemy Enterprises, Honda Motor and DynaMotive Energy Systems Corporation are revealed as they discuss the opportunities that exist from the growing integration of renewable and alternative energy technology within the transportation market.

Reducing our dependence on foreign oil has placed the use of alternative transportation models into the limelight. In light of the current market environment, Steven Schneider, Chief Executive Officer and Director of ZAP (Zero Air Pollution) (NYSEArca: ZP) explains, “Anyone that is producing an alternative energy vehicle at this moment in time is certainly in a sweet spot. The concern over fuel prices and oil, combined with environmental issues, global warming and all types of weather conditions and climate change, including the unrest in the Middle East, has put so much focus on companies who are coming up with another solution.”

Alchemy Enterprises, Ltd. (OTCBB: ACHM) is developing a magnesium based Electric Power Cell that will be able to provide power for vehicles using reusable, renewable materials. Alchemy’s CEO Jonathan Read explains, “Our objective is a fuel system that is clean, renewable and reusable. Instead of highly pressurized and leak prone hydrogen systems, our system provides power on demand – hydrogen on demand – and is a model for sustainable affordable long-term power systems.”
Hybrid alternatives and biofuel products have moved into the spotlight as support continues for alternatives to traditional combustion engines. Nick Cappa, Manager of Advanced Technology Communications for DaimlerChrysler (NYSE: DCX) says, “At this point there is no silver bullet for reducing our dependency on foreign oil. Hybrids will play a role but how significant a role depends on the customer. The premium for a hybrid must meet expectations.”
Speaking on how DynaMotive Energy Systems Corporation’s biofuel product, BioOil, can be applied in the future to various methods of transport, Andrew Kingston President and CEO states, “We’ve successfully converted BioOil to synthetic gas, with the objective to establish that syngas can be further reformed to synthetic diesel. Synthetic diesel can be used as transport fuel in diesel engines without modification, including automobiles, trucks and buses.”
Looking to new directions within the transportation arena, Chris Martin, spokesperson for Honda Motor Co. Ltd. (NYSE: HMC) describes that progress made in the hybrid market has been, “a slow evolution over time.” With respect to the company’s natural gas Civic GX, Martin says, “the infrastructure to refuel your natural gas vehicle is already in place, because many American homes are already supplied with natural gas.”
