Building a New Energy Industry in Ohio Richard T. Stuebi BP Fellow for Energy and Environmental Advancement The Cleveland Foundation June 5, 2009 We Take Energy For Granted • Supplying the American energy diet by human power would require 58 slaves working hard 24/7/365 for each citizen • At a wage of $5.00/hour, the human energy equivalent of a barrel of oil would cost $45,000 • Each second, the world consumes 1000 barrels of oil • Try living without electricity or gasoline for a week! We Take Energy For Granted • Supplying the American energy diet by human power would require 58 slaves working hard 24/7/365 for each citizen • At a wage of $5.00/hour, the human energy equivalent of a barrel of oil would cost $45,000 • Each second, the world consumes 1000 barrels of oil • Try living without electricity or gasoline for a week! Two Major Challenges • Oil: Where will it come from? How much is left? What will be its price? What can replace it? • CO2 emissions: How much/quickly are emissions changing the climate? How much/quickly do we need to reduce? Tight Linkage: Oil Most oil for transportation Transportation Virtually all transport from oil Uses of Petroleum Electric power Residential Energy for Transportation Other Natural Gas Commercial Jet Fuel Industrial Diesel Gasoline Transport Source: EIA Most Remaining Oil in Middle East 100% = 1292.6 billion barrels •Saudi Arabia •Iran •Iraq •Kuwait 56% •UAE •Qatar US Russia Canada Libya Mexico Nigeria Source: Oil & Gas Journal, Vol. 102, No. 47 (Dec. 10, 2004), from U.S. EIA Middle East China Venezuela Elsewhere Declining Global Oil Discoveries Source: Durango Bill Energy Analysis Oil Production Peaking?

Goudriaan 2500 The Age of Climate Change “The vast majority of observers that are: (1) competent in the field of climatology, and (2) not financially supported by parties interested in preserving the status quo are confident that climate change is: (a) occurring, (b) being driven significantly by human activity, and (c) likely to result in effects on the planet’s ecosystems that within decades will generate significant economic costs and environmental degradation.” - Richard Stuebi Increasing CO2 Concentrations Source: Climate Central Increasing Temperatures Source: Encyclopedia of Earth Clear Linkage Melting Polar Ice Caps Source: “Impacts of a Warming Arctic: Arctic Climate Impact Assessment”, Cambridge University Press. 2004.

Why Ohio for Advanced Energy? • Materials science leadership • Significant manufacturing resources • Geographic location distribution advantages • Research institutions and universities • Water • Ohio market requirements Building Advanced Energy Industry “The Market” Outside forces shaping “The Market” Technology developers Product suppliers Energy providers End-use customers • Government agencies: set policies and enforce laws that promote technology development/adoption and market structures (e.g., electricity/gas regulation) • Universities/research institutions: conduct basic research (often with private sector partners) for future commercialization of technologies and products • Industry/trade groups: self-organize to shape the emergence/growth/structure of the market and supply chain • Facilitating organizations: help the parties in various targeted ways to promote the health of the market Role of Foundation Government agencies Non-profit organizations (NGOs) • • • • Private sector companies The Cleveland Foundation Academia Respected convener of parties Funder of not-for-profit activities No concerns about profitability or popularity Keeper and speaker of the general interest (no special interests) Developments in Last 12 Months • Ohio legislation: – New Ohio energy law, including significant requirements for energy efficiency and renewable energy adoption – Significant grant program for advanced energy • Regional efforts in Northeast Ohio: – Significant activities to attract and expand manufacturing of products for wind, solar and fuel cell sectors – $1 million feasibility study to investigate demonstration project and research center for offshore wind in Lake Erie – Cleveland-Toledo collaboration to establish “green energy corridor” for Northern Ohio – Numerous energy efficiency, waste-to-energy and renewable energy projects by various developers and hosts – New energy research centers at Case Western Reserve University and University of Akron – Technology development underway at many corporations, ventures, universities, colleges, research institutions Ohio Advanced Energy Market • Ohio utilities must obtain 25% of power from advanced energy sources by 2025: – At least ½ (12.5%) from renewables (of which 0.5% must be solar) – At least ½ from plants installed in Ohio • Renewable requirements begin by end of 2009, ramp-up to 2025: – 4,500 estimated MW wind installed – 450 estimated MW solar installed • 22% reduction in electricity demand also required by 2025 Other Ohio Financial Support • $150 million (grants and lowinterest loans) over next 3 years to deploy advanced energy projects in Ohio – $66 million for advanced coal – $84 million for other • $24 million in technology development grants in 2009 for advanced energy – $11 million for fuel cells – $13 million for other • $3000 per student intern per year to support workforce development Many local (city/municipal and county) incentives also available Primary Examples of Advanced Energy in Ohio • Fuel cells: recognized as a leader in fuel cell technology development • Wind: strong industrial/supply chain base, good wind resource (especially in Lake Erie) • Solar photovoltaics: world leader in thin-film technologies Closing Comments • Energy industry in crisis: oil supply scarcity and climate change • New energy industry must be built in coming decades, massive investment required • Accelerating transition to advanced energy in our region represents major economic opportunity, and will improve performance on key energy and environmental metrics • Each of you can play a role in inventing the advanced energy economy Contact Information Richard T.
