Circular EconomyTransforming our Linear Processes The circular economy refers to an industrial economy that is restorative, sustainable and collaborative by intention. It relies on renewable and clean resources: energy, water, materials, land. Through careful design, it aims to keep materials and products in circulation for very long cycles and eliminate waste.

The Bioeconomy (continued)

Some biobased chemicals; can outperform petro based plastics. Food packaging and plastic bottles will, within 5 years, be 100% bio-plastics. They are presently made from chemical intermediates BDO (which is now being made from a biobased process) and PET, a petro-chemical. The bio-plastic industry, however, has developed a slight variation on PET called PEF that is virtually impossible to make through a petro-chemical route. PEF results in a stronger plastic meaning thinner packaging materials but also they have superior resistance to gas penetration. This means better food packaging. Foods that are susceptible to oxygen, like beer and prepared vegetables will be available in plastic bottles and containers. Soft drinks, like 7-ounce coke will be available in plastic containers rather than the aluminum and glass they now come in.

Message from IEA Executive Director,Maria van der Hoeven, International Energy AgencyETP 2015 demonstrates that strategic action on clean energy technologies at the national, regional and international levels has the capacity to move the world closer to shared goals for climate change mitigation.Unfortunately, this report also shows that the current pace of action is falling short of the aim of limiting climate change to a global temperature rise of 2C (in ETP modelling, the 2 Scenario or 2DS). Indeed, despite positive signs in many areas, for the first time since the IEA started monitoring clean energy progress, not one of the technology fields tracked is meeting its objectives. As a result, our ability to deliver a future in which temperatures rise modestly is at risk of being jeopardized, and the future that we are heading towards will be far more difficult unless we can take action now to radically change the global energy system.54

19 Technologies and Sectors Examined in IEA Tracking Clean Energy Progress (TCEP)55Renewable power Nuclear power Natural gas-fired power Coal-fired power Carbon capture and storage Industry Iron and steel Cement Transport

Fuel EconomyElectric vehicles Buildings energy efficiency Building envelopes Appliances, lighting and equipment Co-generation and DHC Renewable heat Smart grids Energy storage Hydrogen and fuel cells

Report is divided into 19 technology or sector sections.TCEP focuses on whether the actions needed to decarbonize the energy sector over the ten years to 2025 are progressing. It also uncovers areas that need additional stimulus.

Key Findings of IEA Tracking Clean Energy Progress Renewable Power Generation

Renewable electricity generation is expected to grow by 45% between 2013 and 2020, reaching 7 310 TWh, but is currently at risk of falling short of the 2DS target of 7 537 TWh. If current trends continue, the worldwide shortfall will increase even further by 2025, when the 2DS target is 10 225 TWh. This result is subject to strong regional differences across technologies and regions.

100% clean and renewable wind, water, and sunlight (WWS) all-sector energy roadmaps for the 50 United StatesMark Z. Jacobson et alIn a new study, Mark Z. Jacobson, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Stanford, and colleagues, including U.C. Berkeley researcher Mark Delucchi, presents roadmaps for converting the energy infrastructures of each of the 50 U.S. states to 100% wind, water, and sunlight (WWS) for all purposes (electricity, transportation, heating/cooling, and industry) by 2050. The 50 individual state plans call for aggressive changes to both infrastructure and the ways we currently consume energy, but indicate that the conversion is technically and economically possible through the wide-scale implementation of existing technologies. The studys authors examined each states current energy usage in four sectors: residential, commercial, industrial and transportation. For each sector, they then analyzed the current amount and source of the fuel consumedcoal, oil, gas, nuclear and renewablesand calculated what the fuel demands would be if replaced with electricity. (This includes all the cars on the road becoming electric, as well as homes and businesses fully converting to electric heating and cooling systems). They then calculated how this new electric grid could be powered using only renewable energy resources available in each state.When we did this across all 50 states, we saw a 39 percent reduction in total end-use power demand by the year 2050, Jacobson said. About 6 percentage points of that is gained through efficiency improvements to infrastructure, but the bulk is the result of replacing current sources and uses of combustion energy with electricity.

US report available hereSynthesis report available here#3

Deep Decarbonization Pathways Project (DDPP)Conceived by the Sustainable Development Solutions Network, a UN organization, along with the Institute for Sustainable Development and International Relations (IDDRI). Idea was to create national working groups, each of which was tasked to determine how individual nations might deeply decarbonize their respective economies -- the goal being 80% non-fossil by the year 2050. The working group for the US was led by energy consulting firm Energy & Environmental Economics (E3), the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.

DDPP StrategyThe basic strategy for decarbonizing the economy involves: First decarbonizing the electric grid, Then switching to fossil-free electricity for numerous other applications that currently burn fossil fuel, such as cars and space heat:This will mean an increase in overall demand for electricity, even with efficiency improvements.

4 Possible Pathways Considered in US ReportThe report considered four possible pathways to a decarbonized future: a mixed-technology case, a high-renewables case, a high-nuclear case, and a high-CCS (carbon capture and storage) case. All four pathways will get us to 80% reduction in greenhouse emissions by 2050, but the way they get there, and the costs and investments required, vary widely.The bottom line is that in the high-renewable pathway, we would need to build 2550 GW of new capacity; in high-CCS, we would need 700 GW of new capacity; but in the high-nuclear, we would need only 400 GW of new capacity, in each case to fully decarbonize the grid and reach 80% total greenhouse reductions by 2050.

#4

Key Projections from Bloomberg OutlookBy 2040, the worlds power-generating capacity mix will have transformed: from todays system composed of two-thirds fossil fuels, to one with 56% from zero emission energy sources. Renewables will command just under 60% of the 9,786 GW of new generating capacity installed over the next 25 years, and two thirds of the $12.2 trillion of investment.67

The analysis assumes that renewables globally will see no further policy support be that feed-in tariffs or net energy metering from 2018 onwards, except for offshore wind, which will see subsidies end from 2030. It assumes carbon prices continue to exist where they are already in place or where we have some confidence in their emergence. In particular, the forecast does not explicitly take into account the long-term impacts of the US Clean Power Plan as it has not yet been finalized by the Environmental Protection Agency.

energy (r)evolution Key Messages

100% renewable energy for all is achievable by 2050.Fossil fuels should be phased out in stagesThe Energy [R]evolution proposes a phase-out of fossil fuels starting with lignite (the most carbon intensive) by 2035, followed by coal (2045), then oil and then finally gas (2050). The renewable energy sector is proving it can transform power generation. Within the next 15 years, renewables share of electricity could treble from 21% today to 64%, so nearly two thirds of global electricity would come from renewable energyHeating and transport are the big challengeOil for heating will be replaced by solar collectors, geothermal and heat from renewablehydrogenGas will be the last fossil fuel in use, but is replaced by hydrogen generated by renewableelectricity by 2050Transport is the most challenging sector, and requires a technical revolution and moreR&D particularly in aviation and shipping. But planes and ships could be powered using biofuels, hydrogen and synthetic fuels produced using electricity. The switch to 100% renewable energy will create as many jobs as are employed in oil and gas todayThere is a just transition, not an overnight change. There will be 2 million people still working in the coal industry in 2030, so there is time to re-train.

Corky Budischak et al, U of Delaware, 2013The study models many combinations of renewable electricity sources (inland wind, offshore wind, and photovoltaics) with electrochemical storage (batteries and fuel cells), incorporated into a large grid system.These scenarios are modeled using the PJM Power Grid to answer questions on how reliable, and how costly, would be an electric system reliant on renewable energy. Concludes that we can seek an intermediate 30% target now, and seek a 90% target later, and with the right mix, at each step the target will move toward lower costs than today's system.At 2030 technology costs, and with excess electricity displacing natural gas, we find that the electric system can be powered 90%99.9% of hours entirely on renewable electricity, at costs comparable to today'sbut only if we optimize the mix of generation and storage technologies. The team created a new model called the Regional Renewable Electricity Economic Optimization Model (RREEOM). The model was required to satisfy electrical load entirely from renewable generation and storage, and to find the least-cost mix that meets that constraint.71

Brookings Institute Study (Charles R Frank, Jr. et al, 2014)This paper examines five different low and no-carbon electricity technologies -- nuclear, hydro, natural gas combined cycle, wind, and solar -- and presents the net benefits of each under a range of assumptions. The study concludes that the net benefits of new nuclear, hydro, and natural gas combined cycle plants far outweigh the net benefits of new wind or solar plants.The cost advantage of nuclear vs. renewables is more than three-to-one. That means that for every dollar we spend on renewables, we could be mitigating aboutthree or four times more carbonby spending that dollar on nuclear instead. If key assumptions were modified to favor wind and solar. for example, if we increase the price of carbon to $100 per ton, reduce the cost of capital to 5 percent, and reduce the capital cost and increase the capacity factor of solar and wind by one-third, we get the results shown in Table 9C of report. A new nuclear plant becomes the most favored alternative. Wind and solar continue to rank fourth and fifth among all the alternatives, mainly because of the very high capacity cost and the very low capacity factors.73
