PUTTING ALTERNATIVE ENERGY IN A CURRENT CONTEXT

Ian Macfarlane - 14 July 2006

ENERGY ASSESSMENT PROGRAM STARTS FOR BIG BUSINESS

A world-leading program which requires Australia’s biggest energy users to conduct regular
energy assessments has started. Companies using more than half a petajoule of energy per year
are now required to register for the five yearly assessment program.
Australian Industry Minister, Ian Macfarlane, today announced firms using the equivalent of the
energy used by 10,000 homes, or about 139,000 megawatt hours, in a year must register for the
Energy Efficiency Opportunities program.

"These energy assessments will work two ways: they will raise the national standard for making
savings through energy efficiency while at the same time cause business to look closely at
energy saving measures to shave dollars from operating costs.
"Many of the industries central to Australia's prosperity are also our largest energy users so this is
a program about changing energy attitudes from the top by focusing industry attention on
energy use," said Mr Macfarlane.

Energy Efficiency Opportunities applies to about 250 mining, resource processing,

manufacturing, transport and commercial businesses. These corporations are responsible
for about 40% of all energy used in Australia.

Statement from Ian Macfarlane:

“Australia is now face-to-face with some of the greatest challenges for the energy sector. We need to
simultaneously introduce new measures to manage greenhouse gas emissions while encouraging
further investment in energy infrastructure and maintaining our competitive energy prices. It’s in the
national interest to get the response to these issues right. Energy Efficiency Opportunities has been
developed to tackle a specific and very important component of Australia’s energy picture – the
efficiency of Australia’s largest energy-using businesses. These top 250 corporations account for
around 60 per cent of business energy use and 40 per cent of total energy use. That is a sizeable
share of our energy. Energy Efficiency Opportunities is a critical part of the Government’s broader
policy approach to delivering a sustainable and secure energy future. It will work in tandem with a host
of other measures to improve energy efficiency across the whole economy. A driving force behind
Energy Efficiency Opportunities is the fact that improving energy efficiency can make a real difference.
Improving energy efficiency by just one per cent nationally can create substantial environmental,
economic and business benefit. It’s been shown that looking at energy use in a whole of system way
can be the trigger for businesses to achieve broader cost reductions and productivity gains. Energy
Efficiency Opportunities will bring investment quality information to business decision-makers. Firms
will be able to pursue the opportunities that make the most sense to them, while the community will be
able to identify industry’s efforts to reduce their energy use and curb their emission contributions.”
GENERAL OVERVIEW

In our modern industrial society we have grown accustomed to having energy 'on tap'. In
Australia, since the 1950s, energy consumption has tripled. Energy utilities and road builders
have encouraged us to use energy as if the supply were limitless and most of us have been only
too willing to go along. The reality is that almost all energy used to run our consumer society
comes from fossil fuels; coal, oil and gas, and these are finite and non-renewable resources.

Because fossil fuel resources are limited the high rate at which they are extracted cannot be
sustained for much longer. Neither can our planet sustain the consequences of extracting and
burning them at an increasing rate without ending in ecological disaster. Negative environmental
effects include the production of toxic chemicals, such as nitrogen oxides NO and NO2 –
responsible for acid rain; sulfur dioxide – another leading cause of acid rain; ozone and carbon
monoxide – asphyxiants and contributors to smog; heavy metals such as lead – causing
neurological damage and cancers; and particulate dust – causing lung irritation. The most
dangerous environmental impact, is the production of large quantities of greenhouse gases, in
particular, CO2.

CO2 and other greenhouse gases form a layer in the lower atmosphere – the troposphere, which
collects heat radiating away from the earth, and traps some of it, preventing it from escaping out
into space. This greenhouse effect is essential for keeping our planet at a habitable temperature,
a global average of 14 degrees celcius. Organisms that photosynthesize, such as trees and
algae, using the sun’s light to make energy, capture C02 as part of this process. In the past, this
has balanced out atmospheric CO2 levels, and kept the earth’s temperature constant.

A runaway increase in worldwide energy use has occurred, and a consequent increase in C02
production. As this increase has been coupled with extensive land clearing, our forests and
oceans have been unable to absorb this excess CO2, and global warming has occurred. An 0.6
degree rise in temperature occurred during the 20th century, and more significant increases are
expected in future.

Potential consequences of this global climate change include melting of polar ice caps and
glaciers, leading to a rising sea level, shifts in the world’s precipitation patterns, a reduction in
primary productivity, a drastic decrease in biodiversity, and an increase in warm, wet conditions
conducive to the spread of malaria, and other tropical diseases.

World leaders are taking an increasingly active approach in discussing ways of abating climate
change. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was established in 1988, as a
joint effort of two groups; The World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) and the United Nations
Environment Program (UNEP). This group acts as a global body to assess information about
human induced climate change, and make government policy recommendations.

The major development that has stemmed from this panel is an international agreement; the
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), which came into force in
1994. This treaty was agreed to by all UN member nations, including Australia, and left room
open for updates called “Protocols”, which established minimum emissions reduction targets. The
first update that has taken place is the famous “Kyoto Protocol”, which was first proposed in
1997, and became active in 2005. The UNFCCC has a yearly meeting called the “Conference of
the Parties” (COP). Their twelfth convention, and the first since Kyoto came into force is due to be
held in Nairobi, Kenya, from November 6th to 17th.

Government regulations that have stemmed from these conferences include funding for research,
development and implementation of alternative energies, mandatory renewable energy targets,
as well as emissions reductions targets, in particular C02 production caps for countries, policed
through a system of tradeable carbon credits.

Alternatives to conventional fossil fuel sources of energy include renewables, nuclear energy, and
coal and gas technologies with increased efficiency. Renewable energy sources capture energy
from natural sources, such as wind, water, geothermal heat, and the sun, and are commodities
which can be replenished in a single human lifetime. Most renewables generate low or zero
carbon emissions, and as such, are lucrative solutions to climate change.

This has been reflected in the global market. According to Erwin Jackson of the ACF, around
1/3 of new investment worldwide is channeled into renewable energy. Led by countries such
as China and India, who have set 15% and 20% renewable energy targets respectively, this
industry will continue to experience strong growth into the future.

Strong development internationally has led to a wealth of export opportunities, and offshore
investment, with large renewables organizations such as Pacific Hydro (hydroelectric and wind
farm developer), and Suntech International (solar photovoltaic panel manufacturer) moving many
of their operations into Asia, and reaping the financial rewards.

This conference will provide an overview of the regulatory framework underpinning the
alternative energy market, in Australia and worldwide. It will keep delegates abreast of the
consequences of such a shift for the alternative and conventional energy industries,
investors and high end energy users.

Through international case studies and keynote addresses by the leaders in strategic
development, participants will gain a robust understanding of renewable energy as a
market commodity can be successfully integrated into our current economic framework
and energy grid.

It will also highlight the latest exciting innovations, as well as tried and tested
technologies, and their implications for investors and developers, domestically and as an
export market.
Alternative Energy Sources

Consist of renewables and sustainable energy sources with reduced or zero carbon impact.

RENEWABLES

Solar Power

The most prevalent method of harnessing renewable energy is solar power. Solar power has
existed since long before fossil fuels became dominate and will always remain an excellent
source of energy. Solar heating systems absorb the sun’s energy and transfers the energy to a
fluid, which is then used to heat buildings or generate electricity. Many individuals choose to
supplement their power use with solar energy systems, using the sun’s warmth to heat their pool,
provide back up power, or regulate inside temperatures. Many energy providers will even buy
excess solar power from individuals by storing it in batteries and channeling it through the
existing power grid.
Another technique for harnessing solar energy is the use of photovoltaic (PV) panels. PV serves
a dual role as a functioning part of a structure as well as a method of collecting energy. PV panels
can be used as semi-translucent windows or integrated into roofing or paneling designs. While
photovoltaic technology remains too expensive to be used in the home, large commercial
buildings utilise it as a way of curbing long-term energy costs. Photovoltaic panels continue to
increase in popularity, with sales growing every year. Other advantages to solar power are the
lack of maintenance required and its long useful life with low operating costs.

Wind Power

Another excellent source of renewable energy is wind power. By erecting turbines in areas that
receive a constant amount of wind, it is possible to generate significant amounts of power. The
average wind velocity of Earth is around 9 m/sec. And the power that could be produced when a
wind mill is facing the wind of 10 mi/hr. is around 50 watts. The fins of a windmill rotate in a
vertical plane, which is kept perpendicular to the wind by means of a tail fin. As wind flow crosses
the blades of the windmill, it is forced to rotate and can be used to generate electricity. Another
type of wind power generator is the two hollow half-drum-type wind collectors. This wind collector
rotates in a single vertical axis, making this device independent of the wind direction, which may
generate more electricity. The cost of producing wind power varies depending on the amount of
wind present, but it is usually about the same or slightly less than using oil or coal. While only 1
percent of the energy in the United States is produced using wind power, some European
countries like Denmark and Germany get up to 20 percent of their energy from wind sources.
Wind energy is slowly gaining popularity in asia, with successful implementations of wind farm
project in the Phillipines and in Vietnam.
Hydroelectric Power

The many systems of hydroelectric power differ greatly in both function and appearance. The
inherent energy contained within massive bodies of moving water can be harnessed in several
ways. The most common form of hydroelectric power involves placing a dam across a river in
order to create a large reservoir, with water released through a turbine in order to produce
electricity. This type of system is used to create large quantities of power that will support towns
or cities, but there are also smaller systems designed to power a single residence.
Micro hydropower systems can be utilised anywhere there is a small creek or river that has a
relatively high flow for most of the year. The various forms of micro hydro systems operate in
basically the same way as large dams – that is they create energy by funnelling water through a
turbine. However, much less water needs to be diverted in order to power a micro hydro device,
creating far less impact on the environment. Although it is difficult to find an appropriate site for
hydroelectric systems, it has a clear advantage over other forms of renewable energy in that
once it is installed, it creates electricity 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Many businesses
specialise in providing micro hydro systems for residences and will provide site analysis,
planning, and installation services. Also, small businesses in the right locations can utilise
hydroelectric systems to reduce their electricity costs.

Biofuels

Liquid biofuel is usually bioalcohol such as methanol, ethanol and biodiesel. Biodiesel can be
used in modern diesel vehicles with little or no modification and can be obtained from waste and
crude vegetable and animal oil and fats (lipids). A major benefit of biodiesel is lower emissions.
The use of biodiesel reduces emission of carbon monoxide and other hydrocarbons by 20 to 40
percent. In some areas corn, sugarbeets, cane and grasses are grown specifically to produce
ethanol (also known as alcohol) a liquid that can be used in internal combustion engines and fuel
cells. Ethanol is being phased into the current energy infrastructure. E85 is a fuel composed of
85% ethanol and 15% gasoline that are currently being sold to consumers.
The EU plans to add 5% bioethanol to Europe's petrol by 2010. For the UK alone the production
would require 12,000 square kilometres of the country's 65,000 square kilometres of arable land
assuming that no biofuels are created using waste produces from other agriculture. The
supermarket chain Tesco has started adding the 5% bioethanol to the petrol it sells as of January
2006

Australia is relatively well endowed with renewable energy resources, including solar, biomass
and wind power. Renewable energy is often a viable alternative to diesel-generated electricity in
remote areas of Australia, such as parts of Tasmania, Western Australia and the Northern
Territory, that do not have access to the main electricity grids. The Renewable Remote Power
Generation Program, which began in July 2000, provides financial support for the conversion of
diesel-based generators to generators dependent upon renewable energy resources and
technologies. The Photovoltaic Rebate Program was designed specifically to support installation
of grid-connected or stand-alone photovoltaic systems. Participants can receive rebates up to
$8,250 for a 1,500-watt photovoltaic system.
In early 2000, researchers, industry experts and government officials met in Canberra to discuss
the potential for biomass as a future energy source. Utilisation of biomass as an energy resource
could be very important for a country, where, according to Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries, &
Forestry, Warren Truss, agriculture contributes up to 22% of total greenhouse gas emissions.
Utilisation of biomass not only could provide a use for many agricultural wastes, but also could
encourage tree plantings, which would help provide relief for areas experiencing erosion.

SUSTAINABLE ENERGY SOURCES – WITH ZERO OR LOW CARBON IMPACT

Geothermal

This power source involves heat energy stored in the earth, which can be extracted using
standard petroleum drilling equipment, and used to produce electricity. This is not strictly
renewable, as geothermal deposits can be depleted. It is highly lucrative as it produces zero
carbon emissions and has relatively low set-up costs, as it relies largely on existing oil
infrastructure. Australia has a wealth of geothermal heat deposits, and as such, there are
mounting efforts to exploit this energy source.

Nuclear

Nuclear fission reactors are used to produce steam for electricity production. A fission reactor
breaks up the nucleus of a high mass atom, Uranium, which generates a strong energy release
– can be over a million fold greater than burning gas, coal or oil. This is a similar reaction to
that which powers nuclear weapons; the main difference being that power plants are designed
to maintain a constant level of nuclear reactions, producing heat below a tolerable threshold.
Nuclear bombs, however, are created so that all of the atoms in the weapon “go critical”, or
break up at the same time in a chain reaction, creating intensely destructive heat and radiation.

Clean Coal and Gas

Coal and gas are the biggest components of Australia’s energy mix (and the rest of the world’s
as well). Around 70 percent of all electricity in Australia is generated via coal fired power
stations. Our extensive, cheap coal resources and established infrastructure will render it an
essential component of our energy mix for years to come. However, coal fired power
generation emits a high level of greenhouse gases. As such, increasing the efficiency of this
method of energy production is going to be a key strategy in reducing Australian carbon
emissions. Various systems are being developed to reduce the carbon emissions of coal and
gas. Brown coal (lignite) can be condensed and processed to increase burning efficiency. Coal
can be gasified to increase fuel efficiency and facilitate carbon capture. The C02 emissions of
gas fired power (from coal or natural gas) can be condensed and inserted into the ground (a
process called sequestration).

CONFERENCE RATIONALE (WHY NOW?)

Impending state led regulatory shifts are likely to create a significant domestic alternative energy
market in the coming months. Growth across much of the country has peaked off as the Federal
MRET scheme has reached it’s 2% capacity. In South Australia, a draft bill has proposed a 60%
emissions reduction target by 2050, in line with Kyoto recommendations, and a 20% mandatory
renewable energy target by 2014. Victoria has also followed suit, proposing a 10% MRET by
2015. It is anticipated that NSW and Queensland may introduce similar policies.

The conference of the parties (COP) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate
Change is due to carry out their 12th meeting (the first was in 1994) in Nairobi, Kenya from
November 6th – 17th. This is set to be “Kyoto 2” and is going to be a major drawcard for us.

All of these factors mean that climate change, alternative and renewable energies will be in the
media limelight over the next few months.

IDENTIFYING THE APPROPRIATE PERSON

In smaller and fairly new alternative energy organizations, the CEO would probably be the best
person to invite.

Otherwise, it is a good idea to speak to the someone in the organization who is responsible for
one of the following areas:

Energy / Renewable Energy / Alternative Energy / Sustainable Energy Policy

Corporate Social Responsibility
Environmental Management
Sustainability

They might not always be the best people within an organization to pitch to (sometimes they are)
but they will almost always know who to direct you to.

HANDLING OBJECTIONS

Possible Objection

I am attending another conference – Biofuels or Transport Energies

This conference will provide a range of expert insights and practical examples of
implementation which encompass the entire alternative energy market – and act as more than
a showcase of all of the available technologies in a particular niche.

Possible Objection

I am attending another conference – BCSE in May

Better timing – act now to seize upon the results of AP6 and Kyoto 2, as well as new state
based regulatory shifts – why wait until May to find out about all of these issues, when your
competitors are ahead of the game?
Strong market saturation exists, but most of the forums do little other than providing a
showcase of what is out there in the alternative energy market. There is a lot of unsatisfied
demand for benefits driven, practical examples of implementation. Case studies are driven
out, but as our sustainable energy industry is hardly setting international benchmarks (except
in R&D), they often fall short of being useful. In the words of Sean Silvey, head of the ANZ
Environment program, there is “too much back slapping, not enough substance”.
International, and keynote Australian
case studies make this program stand out from the rest.
Possible Objection

The alternative energy market is experiencing slow growth

State regulatory shifts, such as the 20% renewable energy target in South Australia, and the
10% renewable energy target in Victoria will lead to rapid growth in the alternative energy
market over the next few years. This is coupled with grants provided to businesses who
increase their energy efficiency, state based emissions trading schemes, and research and
development funding, such as the 300 million Coal 21 Fund. International and domestic
pressure from lobbyists is likely to increase these incentives even further.
The international market for alternative energies is massive, comprising around 1/3 of all new
investment (a multi billion dollar industry) and businesses must move quickly to capitalize on
this growth.

Possible Objection

How does this conference relate to me?

Run through how this program relates to the following potential delegates:

1. Alternative Energy Industry

They need to be informed about the latest in competitive technology, how to implement their R&D by
seizing on regulatory incentives, how to integrate into the energy grid, and other implementation
issues.

2. Conventional Energy Industry

Need to expand into this market to comply with mandatory renewable energy targets, and to gain an
edge on their competition. Fostering a positive public image, and minimizing risk due to climate
change and regulatory shifts.

3. Big Energy Users

Reducing CO2 emissions, minimizing climate change and regulatory risk, and improving PR are the
main incentives for big energy users to attend this conference.

4. Investors

Need to know about the most lucrative investment opportunities available in the alternative energy
market, so that they can move quickly in order to capitalize on all of this booming growth.
