Treasury, Energy Surpass $1 Billion Milestone in Recovery Act Awards for Clean Energy Projects

Treasury, Energy Surpass $1 Billion Milestone in Recovery Act Awards for Clean Energy Projects
Geithner, Chu Hold Roundtable Discussion with Energy Companies on Expanding Development of Clean, Domestic Sources of Energy

WASHINGTON– September 22, 2009- This morning, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner and Energy Secretary Steven Chu hosted a group of clean energy developers and manufacturers at the White House to discuss how the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Recovery Act) is creating jobs and helping expand the development of clean, renewable domestic energy. At the meeting, Secretaries Geithner and Chu announced $550 million in new awards through the Recovery Act’s 1603 program, bringing the total to more than $1 billion awarded to date to companies committed to investing in domestic renewable energy production.

“This Recovery Act program is an example of a true federal partnership with the private sector,” said Treasury Secretary Geithner. “Not only are our Recovery dollars meeting an immediate funding need among innovative companies, they are also jumpstarting private sector investment in communities across the country – with benefits for the renewable energy industry and our economy alike.”

Said Secretary Chu: “These investments are crucial to ensuring America can compete and win in the race for the clean energy jobs of the future. With American workers and American innovation, we can and must lead the world when it comes to the new Industrial Revolution in clean energy.”

Created under Section 1603 of the Recovery Act, the program provides cash assistance to energy producers in place of tax credits. The payments improve project viability, enabling companies to create and retain jobs, and establish sufficient financing bases for projects that may otherwise not be possible, dramatically expanding and accelerating the development of renewable energy projects throughout the country. Under this program, the federal government provides a cash payment in lieu of a tax credit totaling 30 percent of the qualifying cost of the project; for each federal dollar spent in payments, more than two dollars are spent in private sector investments.

Today the Treasury Department will make the second round of awards, all of which will be made in half the statutorily mandated turnaround time of 60 days. The first round of awards totaling $502 million was announced on September 1, 2009. Today’s announcement provides an additional $550 million. The 1603 program is having an immediate effect on the renewable energy industry by significantly increasing the availability and liquidity of project capital in three ways:

•Recycling grants into new projects. Project developers are able to begin construction of additional projects thanks to the extra capital from the grants they are receiving. •Increasing the flow of capital. By reversing the drop in availability of equity investment available, the 1603 program brings significant private capital off the sidelines to finance more renewables projects. •Attracting investment for domestic projects. Large project developers allocate capital across many countries, and the 1603 program is attracting billions of dollars of additional capital towards projects in the US.Project developers receiving awards through this program participated in today's meeting, including Ameresco, First Wind, Horizon Wind, and Sun Edison. Also participating were several renewables manufacturers who supply these developers, including Cardinal Fastener, GE Energy, Gamesa, Solyndra, and Vestas Americas.

•At a site in Pittsburgh, CA, Ameresco is using a landfill to provide power to the City of Palo Alto. Payments awarded because of this project will allow Ameresco to accelerate its development of renewable energy projects by a minimum of four more domestic projects a year. •Solyndra is helping to provide energy to a building in downtown Denver, CO through solar panels on the roof, a project that would not have been possible without Recovery Act payments. •Vestas Americas has made a significant investment in developing renewable energy in the United States. The company has allocated $1 billion for new manufacturing facilities throughout the country, and the 1603 program will allow these facilities to be fully operational by 2011.The following is a chart of the 25 projects that qualified for awards as part of today’s announcement.

Press Conference by United Nations Leadership Forum on Climate Change

Press Conference by United Nations Leadership Forum on Climate Change

http://www.un.org/News/briefings/docs//2009/090922_Leadership.doc.htm
September 22, 2009

Reaching agreement at the upcoming Copenhagen Climate Conference on a new pact to reduce greenhouse gas emissions would be a “daunting” challenge, but not an impossible one, Al Gore told correspondents today during a press conference of the United Nations Leadership Forum on Climate Change.

Mr. Gore, Nobel Laureate and Chairman of Generation Investment Management, said that 76 days before the start of the Copenhagen Summit, personal involvement of Heads of State and Government would be crucial to break the current deadlock on crafting a successor treaty to the Kyoto Protocol. That Treaty’s first commitment period is set to expire in 2012.

In that regard, he was particularly encouraged by the leadership of the United States. As Congress was currently weighing climate change legislation, he noted that United States President Barack Obama had pledged to get personally involved in pushing key climate change legislation through the Senate before Copenhagen.

For his part, Mr. Gore called on the United States Senate to pass the bill quickly and not be distracted by “backward-looking” amendments such as one that could strip the Government of its authority to mandate CO2 emissions under the Clean Air Act. In addition, he called on all participants in today’s meeting on climate change, convened by the United Nations Secretary-General, to move forward on concrete proposals for financing of adaptation and technology transfer.

The press conference, moderated by Robert Orr, Assistant Secretary-General for Policy Coordination and Strategic Planning, also featured: Lars Løkke Rasmussen, Prime Minister of Denmark; Helmy Abouleish, Managing Director, SEKEM; Djimon Hounsou, actor; Barbara Krumsiek, President, Calvert Investments; and Zhengrong Shi, Chairman, Suntech. By demonstrating explicit private sector support for bold climate action, the Forum intends to build positive political momentum towards the Copenhagen Climate Conference, set for 7 to 18 December.


Prime Minister Rasmussen, of Denmark, said the international business community and civil society sought a decisive solution to climate change that would stimulate green growth and development. The outcome of the Copenhagen Conference should be ambitious and binding, and should include the two-degree warming scenario. The industrialized countries should commit themselves to short‑, mid- and long-term substantive reduction targets.
Moreover, he said developing countries should be invited to take domestic actions leading to an estimate of their emission patterns. Developed countries should commit themselves to financing adaptation and transfer of green technologies. The agreement should also integrate a monitoring, reporting and verification framework. The private sector would play a vital role in shaping a low-carbon future.
Mr. Shi said that leadership by the United States and China would be vital in combating climate change. In order to promote and increase application of clean technologies, close cooperation in the area of clean technologies such as wind and solar power, without trade barriers or protectionism, was necessary. A global climate change agreement would offer huge opportunities to clean technologies, he declared, noting that over the past five years, the solar industry in Europe, the United States, Japan and China had grown more than 50 per cent. Over the next two to five years, the cost of solar-generated energy was predicted to drop, so the price of solar electricity would become competitive.
Mr. Abouleish said that farmers in Egypt and Africa were very concerned about the impact of climate change on agriculture. Specifically, Egypt would be the second most impacted country in the world because of, among other things, rising sea levels. At the same time however, farming was also part of the solution, as it could contribute up to 30 per cent of the needed abatement. He called on the Copenhagen Conference to include consideration of sustainable agriculture and forest management, as well as for incentives for farmers to work for food security, and at the same time, to save the planet. Commercial enterprises had an obligation beyond profit making and must report on their carbon footprint.
Ms. Krumsiek said Calvert Investments provided mutual funds that invested in socially and environmentally responsible companies, and focused on environmental and financial performance. There was no greater issue for investors than climate change. The long-term sustainability of companies would be based on decisions taken today. Investors needed a “robust agreement” in Copenhagen, in order to better measure and manage risk. She urged the leaders of the world to come together and work to “seal the deal”.
For his part, Mr. Hounsou added that he had seen first-hand the devastation wrought by drought in sub-Saharan countries and urged all to have respect for the planet. Deserts were advancing at a fast pace, especially that region, and action must be taken “now”.
Answering questions about the status of the climate change bill in the Senate, Mr. Gore said the United States had an “almost unique” role in providing important leadership in the situation. The moral authority President Obama could wield in Copenhagen would be greatly enhanced if the Senate passed legislation before Copenhagen. That legislation had been delayed by the controversy over health care, but there were indications that that deadlock would soon be broken.
Mr. Gore also highlighted the influence of the judiciary in his country, pointing out that the Supreme Court had recently ruled that C02 was a pollutant covered by the Clean Air Act, so the Environmental Protection Agency now had the authority to mandate reductions. Legislation against that authority would be vetoed by the President. Yesterday, a Federal Court ruled that large CO2 emitters could be sued under common law, he said.
Mr. Rasmussen added that the United States would still play a strong leadership role, even if no legislation was passed, especially in the person of President Obama. The private sector was ready to invest if they heard a clear signal of long-term commitment from world leaders.
In that regard, Ms. Krumsiek pointed out that there was a statement, signed by some 200 institutional investors managing a total of $13 trillion, on the need to reach agreement in Copenhagen. Including the private sector in the process was necessary. There was self-interest involved in inclusion, she said, answering a question about the standards used at the United Nations in working with the private sector. To exclude companies’ involvement in the Forum, on the basis of self-interest, would lose a “robust” business presence that could contribute to solutions.
Mr. Orr added that the collective private sector needed to be part of the solution. The United Nations had invited key players to the table. The Global Compact had been engaging with a wide range of companies, with a resulting improvement in performance. Approximately 40 per cent of participating companies reported their greenhouse emissions and climate change data to the Carbon Disclosure Project.
Asked about the statement by China’s representative at the opening of today’s events this morning, Mr. Gore said that that country had provided “impressive” leadership in combating climate change. It was the leading nation in wind and solar power, and had planted two-and-a-half times more trees than the entire rest of the world together. The goals announced today were not insignificant and there were indications that if progress in negotiations was made, China would do more, he said.
As for this morning’s statement by President Obama, Mr. Gore had been encouraged by his promise to get personally involved in the work of the Senate Committees trying to pass climate change legislation. President Obama’s statement had also included a reference to a “highly significant” measure on greenhouse gas reporting. That would force companies to reduce their emissions, out of fear that their reputation would be damaged.

To a question about technology transfer and concerns about intellectual property, Mr. Shi said collaboration in clean technology was global. China could produce solar power cells cheaply, but must import advanced manufacturing equipment from abroad. More exchange of innovative manufacturing technologies was necessary and teamwork was needed in order to produce cheaper green energy products, as green power was currently too expensive. The technology was there and investors were ready to act, but the business community wanted real action at Copenhagen.
Mr. Rasmussen added that technology transfer must be an integrated part of Copenhagen and the United States had proposed a framework on technology cooperation. Co-financing of transfers to developing countries was also necessary.
However, Mr. Abouleish pointed out that technology transfer to developing countries was not happening today, due to the lack of a framework and a funding mechanism. Asked about a lack of awareness among the people in Egypt and Africa, he said that the citizens and media must promote discussion about climate change and that the Governments must be lobbied. He warned that companies that did not engage today would not exist 15 years from now.
Mr. Gore added that soil carbon conservation and the re-carbonization of soil must be the next stage in the negotiating process. A clear signal at Copenhagen, that carbon and soil issues would be included in future talks, would be a very important measure to help build the confidence of developing nations, most of all in sub-Saharan Africa, where soil carbon had been so depleted that it was now greatly contributing to food insecurity. Re-carbonization of soil could be done with new technologies, application of which could result in carbon credits.
Addressing a question about the principle of common but differentiated responsibility, Mr. Rasmussen said the phrase for Copenhagen meant that rich countries must commit to short-, mid- and long-term reduction targets. Developing countries must commit to actions, whereby it would be fully recognized that they had the right to increase their energy consumption to support their development.

He stressed that such developing countries should, however, follow a different track in energy generation. As money was an important element, he was encouraged that the European Commission had put an offer on the table. Actions needed to be concrete.
Mr. Gore said neither word was the same as “binding”. The President of Maldives, Mohamed Nasheed, this morning had called on developing countries to undertake binding obligations for reductions. “Differentiated” meant that those reductions would not be the same as those of developed countries. There had to be support, adaptation and transfer of technology. However, there should be common obligations that were binding, even if differentiated, he declared.

Water Stocks Report; Wescorp Energy’s (OTCBB: WSCE) Oil-Water Separation Technology Addresses Multi-Billion Dollar Market Opportunity

Water Stocks Report; Wescorp Energy’s (OTCBB: WSCE) Oil-Water Separation Technology Addresses Multi-Billion Dollar Market Opportunity

POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC –September 22, 2009, www.Investorideas.com and www.water-stocks.com, an investor and industry research portal covering the water sector, present an industry report by Lisa Springer CFA, Equity research analyst, on the oil- water separation technology industry multi-billion dollar opportunity.

The recent report examines how Wescorp Energy (OTCBB: WSCE) is providing solutions for one of the oil and gas industry’s environmental challenges, ‘produced water’.

Proprietary Oil-Water Separation Technology Addresses Multi-Billion Dollar Market Opportunity
Lisa Springer CFA, Equity research analyst and financial writer

One of the greatest challenges oil and gas companies face is cleaning “produced water”, water that comes up with the production of oil or gas, or water left over from their drilling operations. This water, contaminated with hydrocarbon solids, sand, drill cutting and salt, is a major source of pollution and must be brought to the surface, treated to separate the water from residual oil, then disposed of either by re-injecting the treated water into the ground or pumping it into a surface separation pond. Treating and disposing of this water can cost as much as $12.00 per barrel and energy companies also lose thousands of dollars in potential oil revenues each year because some oil remains trapped in the water despite treatment.
The scope of the problem becomes apparent when you consider that oil and gas companies must dispose of some 250 million barrels of oilfield contaminated water daily. The global market for the cleaning and re-use of produced water is estimated to exceed $50 billion annually. Oil revenues lost because treatment technologies leave some oil still trapped in the water are not trivial, either. An article in the May 12, 2008 edition of Oil and Gas Journal titled “Produced Water Management: Controversy versus Opportunity” suggests as much as nine tons of oil remain trapped in oilfield water for every million tons of hydrocarbons produced.
Wescorp Energy (OTCBB: WSCE) has developed and begun commercializing a proprietary oil-water separation technology that is able to remove more of the residual hydrocarbons from treated oilfield water. Depending on the specific technology, conventional treatment methods can leave as much as 5,000 to 30,000 parts per million of hydrocarbons behind. Wescorp’s technology reduces the hydrocarbon component of treated water to less than 10 parts per million. H20Maxx technology uses an aeration process based on microscopic bubbles several orders of magnitude smaller than conventional technologies. The bubbles attach to oil droplets in the water and break the oil/water interface, allowing the oil to be skimmed off. The benefits of H20Maxx technology include lower disposal costs, the ability to recycle treated water in drilling operations, thus reducing fresh water consumption and the recovery of greater amounts of residual oil.

BRAZIL INCREASES ENVIRONMENTAL PRESERVATION MEASURES WITH SUGARCANE ZONING PROPOSAL

BRAZIL INCREASES ENVIRONMENTAL PRESERVATION MEASURES WITH SUGARCANE ZONING PROPOSAL

New bill will make indigenous lands - including the Amazon, Pantanal, and Upper Paraguay River Basin regions - off-limits for sugarcane industry expansion

BRASILIA (September 17, 2009) – In an unprecedented initiative, Brazil today proposed a new bill of law that will restrict the lands permissible for sugarcane farming and processing. If passed, the bill sent today to the National Congress by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva will prohibit the construction or expansion of sugarcane farms and production plants in any area of native vegetation, or in the Amazon, Pantanal (Brazilian Wetlands) or Upper Paraguay River Basin regions. Coupled with the areas not suitable for sugarcane farming, the bill would effectively make 92.5% of Brazil’s national territory off-limits for sugarcane farming and processing. In addition to the sugarcane zoning mandates, the new bill includes a measure to end the practice of crop burning by 2017 in all areas suitable for mechanized harvesting.

“Environmental preservation is a top priority of the Brazilian government,” said Celso Manzato, chief of the Environment unit of the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa). “Sugarcane is an integral crop for Brazil’s domestic food supply, renewable energy market, and our national exports, and therefore there is great demand for growth. These measures have been proposed to ensure that sustainable development models are in place to promote the responsible development of this industry.”

Brazil’s sugarcane harvests are used to produce food products as well as sugarcane-based ethanol, a biofuel alternative to gasoline. The proposal is timely, given that ethanol consumption surpassed that of gasoline in light vehicles in Brazil this year. Brazil has the largest fleet of flex-fuel cars in the world. Brazil is also currently the world’s largest producer and exporter of sugarcane, using only 1% of its national land area.

The newly proposed bill is based upon the findings of the National Agro-Ecological Zoning for Sugarcane (ZAE Cana) study, which defined lands suitable for sugarcane production based on environmental, economic and social criteria. ZAE Cana is the largest crop survey in Brazil’s history and the first ever to incorporate economic and social considerations into its proposed model for the sustainable development of the industry.

The ZAE Cana proposal addresses the need to regulate the expansion of sugarcane production in light of the growing global demand for food and biofuels. This proposal supports Brazil’s goal to foster sustainable economic development and preserve its indigenous lands, its biodiversity, and its natural resources.

Protected Lands
The new bill would restrict the expansion of sugarcane production plants to regions that meet the following criteria: areas that do not require full irrigation, thus saving resources such as water and energy; and areas with slopes less than 12%, allowing for mechanized harvesting and preventing producers’ clearance of ground by fire. In addition, credit extension policies will favor expansion into underused or degraded pasture land.

These rules are not applicable to industrial facilities already in operation.

These criteria leave 64 million total hectares eligible for sugarcane planting, equivalent to 7.5% of the national land area. Sugarcane crops currently occupy an area of 8.89 million hectares (2008 crop year).

Respect to Food Security
The proposed Bill of Law empowers the Ministry of Agriculture to direct the expansion of sugarcane production in order to prevent any risk to food production or food security.

Eradication of Ground Burning
In addition to regulating future sugarcane expansion, the federal government is proposing an end to burnings in existing production areas. The eradication will be enforced according to a transition schedule that ends burning by 2017 in 100% of areas suitable for mechanized harvesting. This measure will allow for the reduction of greenhouse gases by six million tons of CO2 equivalent.

The ZAE Cana will be presented as part of Brazil’s platform to curb global climate change and promote environmentally sustainable development at the United Nations’ 15th Conference of the Parties (COP-15) to be held in Copenhagen, Denmark in December 2009.

Green Investor News - Southern California Edison Installs First of 5 Million “Smart” Meters

Green Investor News - Southern California Edison Installs First of 5 Million “Smart” Meters

ROSEMEAD, Calif- Southern California Edison, an Edison International (NYSE:EIX) company, kicks off its Edison SmartConnect program today by installing the first of 5 million smart meters to help customers save energy and money. These new digital, secure, two-way communicating meters will measure electricity usage up-to-the minute and, when fully implemented, will enable customers to track how much they use, and how much it costs them.

Edison SmartConnect is a key step in transforming the electric system to a smart grid. “More than 100 years ago, Southern California Edison installed some of the world’s first electricity meters. Today, we’re proud to launch the new generation of meters that provide customers with new options and information to help them better manage their energy use,” said Lynda Ziegler, SCE senior vice president, Customer Service.

Smart meter installations begin today in Downey, Calif., and will continue through 2012 for all SCE residential and small-business customers in the utility’s 50,000-square-mile service territory.

The smart meters, supplied by Itron Inc., include advanced features that enable the meters to communicate with the next generation of “smart” thermostats, appliances and other devices. The new meters allow remote activation of electric service at the customer’s convenience. New pricing plans, programs and services will empower customers to make informed decisions about their energy use. Many of these advanced features and functionality will go into effect in the second half of 2010.

SCE contracted with Corix Utilities, Inc. to perform most of the installations. Here is some important information for customers getting the new meters:

•Customers will be notified by mail in advance when installations are scheduled in their neighborhood. •Customers do not need to be home, but they do need to provide clear access to their meter. •Corix installers will carry identification indicating they are approved SCE contractors. •Installation of SmartConnect meters will continue through 2012. Edison SmartConnect is a $1.6 billion program authorized by the California Public Utilities Commission. SCE anticipates customers’ use of the new meters will reduce demand on the electricity grid by about 1,000 megawatts, the amount of energy produced at an average power plant. Sustained energy conservation resulting from customer response to their energy use information is also expected to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and smog-forming pollutants by a minimum of 365,000 metric tons per year — the equivalent of removing 79,000 cars from the road.

For more information, visit www.sce.com/smartconnect.

About Southern California Edison

An Edison International (NYSE:EIX) company, Southern California Edison is one of the nation’s largest electric utilities, serving a population of nearly 14 million via 4.9 million customer accounts in a 50,000-square-mile service area within Central, Coastal and Southern California

FPL Group (NYSE:FPL) named to Dow Jones Sustainability Index

FPL Group (NYSE:FPL) named to Dow Jones Sustainability Index


JUNO BEACH, Fla.----FPL Group, Inc.(NYSE:FPL) has been named to the 2009 Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) of the leading companies in North America for corporate sustainability. The DJSI North America selects the top 20 percent of companies in sustainability performance from the 600 largest companies in North America.

FPL Group has established a strong record of environmental responsibility and stewardship. In 2008, FPL Group’s carbon dioxide emissions rate was half the average for the electric power industry as a whole. If every utility were as clean as FPL Group, the nation’s CO2 emissions would be cut 20 percent immediately, which is the equivalent of removing eight out of every 10 vehicles from the road.

“As the No. 1 producer of wind and solar power in North America, we’re pleased that our commitment to sustainability has been recognized by Dow Jones. We’ve worked hard to become the nation’s leader in renewable energy, and we’re proud to have one of the lowest emissions rates in the electric power industry,” said FPL Group Chairman and CEO Lew Hay.

According to Dow Jones, corporate sustainability leaders achieve long-term shareholder value by “gearing their strategies and management to harness the market’s potential for sustainability products and services while successfully reducing and avoiding sustainability costs and risks.” FPL Group has embodied this ethic. Over the five-year period from 2004 through 2008, FPL Group more than doubled the size of its wind energy business while its market capitalization grew by 81 percent.

FPL also has the nation’s leading energy efficiency and conservation program. Cumulatively, FPL has achieved more demand-side reduction than any other utility, according to U.S. Department of Energy data. As a result, FPL has been able to avoid building 12 power plants.

FPL Group: Energy Solutions for the Next Era

FPL Group, Inc. (NYSE:FPL) is a leading clean energy company with 2008 revenues of more than $16 billion, approximately 39,000 megawatts of generating capacity, and more than 15,000 employees in 27 states and Canada. Headquartered in Juno Beach, Fla., FPL Group’s principal subsidiaries are NextEra Energy Resources, LLC, the largest generator in North America of renewable energy from the wind and sun, and Florida Power & Light Company, which serves 4.5 million customer accounts in Florida and is one of the largest rate-regulated electric utilities in the country. Through its subsidiaries, FPL Group collectively operates the third largest U.S. nuclear power generation fleet.
