Factbox: Clean energy companies gain new tax credits
Fri, Jan 8 2010Related Video - Obama unveils energy credits
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama unveiled a $2.3 billion tax credit on Friday to boost jobs by promoting clean energy, as new data showed the country's unemployment rate remained stuck in the double digits.
Obama said the credit, from funds earmarked under a $787 billion stimulus package he signed last February, would create 17,000 U.S. jobs and be matched by an additional $5 billion in private capital.
"Building a robust clean energy sector is how we will create the jobs of the future, jobs that pay well and can't be outsourced," Obama said.
"This initiative is good for middle-class families. It is good for our security. It is good for our planet," he said.
High unemployment is one of Obama's most pressing domestic challenges and a monthly payroll report released on Friday served as a reminder labor market conditions remain grim. U.S. unemployment was unchanged at 10 percent in December, while businesses unexpectedly shed 85,000 jobs.
"The jobs numbers that were released by the Labor Department this morning are a reminder that the road to recovery is never straight," Obama said.
Climate change, alongside healthcare and financial regulation reform, is a core goal of Obama's White House.
All require support from Congress, where his Democratic Party may suffer a setback in November congressional elections unless he can start to push the jobless figures down.
The tax credits have been granted to 183 projects across the country involved in technologies that include solar, wind and other initiatives to improve energy efficiency.
On top of the employment resulting directly from the tax credit, Obama said it would lead to "tens of thousands" of additional new jobs.
The White House says the stimulus money has helped prevent the deepest U.S. recession in 70 years from getting much worse, and has renewed its push to boost job creation, which many analysts say warrants more public spending.
Obama held a jobs summit and met with bankers last month to boost lending to small businesses in the hope that would encourage them to hire more workers.
In addition, the House of Representatives has approved an additional $155 billion jobs package to boost hiring, although the Senate has yet to take up its version of the legislation and will first tackle Obama's signature healthcare reforms.
"We have to continue to explore every avenue to accelerate the return to hiring," he said.
Companies that will benefit from the clean energy tax credit include Itron Inc, based in Liberty Lake, Washington, PPG Industries, Inc, based in Pittsburgh, and TPI Composites, Inc, based in Scottsdale, Arizona.

WASHINGTON
Mon Jan 11, 2010 8:38am EST
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Obama administration plans on Monday to announce the selection of nine projects totaling $187 million aimed at improving the fuel efficiency of cars and trucks.
The funding includes more than $100 million from the $787 billion economic stimulus plan President Barack Obama pushed through Congress last February. An additional 50 percent will come from the private sector, according to the announcement to be made by U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu in Columbus, Indiana.
The Obama administration is under pressure to show it is working to create jobs with the U.S. unemployment rate stuck at 10 percent.
The administration estimated the projects would create 500 jobs in areas like research and engineering near term, with the potential for creating 6,000 positions in manufacturing and assembly by 2015.
Three projects will focus on efforts to improve the fuel efficiency of long-haul freight trucks by 50 percent.
The freight-truck awards include:
* $38.8 million for Cummins Inc in Columbus, Indiana. This project is aimed at developing a clean, efficient diesel engine, an advanced waste heat recovery system, an aerodynamic Peterbilt tractor-trailer combination and a fuel cell auxiliary power unit to reduce engine idling.
* $39.6 million for Daimler Trucks North America LLC. This project in Portland, Oregon will seek to develop technologies including engine downsizing, electrification of auxiliary systems such as oil and water pumps, waste heat recovery, improved aerodynamics and hybridization.
* $37.3 million for Navistar Inc. This Fort Wayne, Indiana project will seek to develop technologies to improve truck and trailer aerodynamics, combustion efficiency, waste heat recovery, hybridization, idle reduction and reduced rolling resistance tires.
Another six projects will be aimed at developing fuel efficiency for passenger vehicle engines and powertrain systems. The goal is to develop engine technologies that will improve the fuel economy of passenger vehicles by 25-40 percent by 2015 using an engine-only approach.
Those include:
* $14.5 million for Chrysler Group LLC. The Auburn Hills, Michigan project will aim to develop a flexible combustion system for their minivan platform based on a downsized, turbocharged engine that uses direct gasoline injection, recirculation of exhaust gases and flexible intake air control to reduce emissions.
* $15 million for Cummins Inc to develop a fuel-efficient, low emissions diesel engine that achieves a 40 percent fuel economy improvement over conventional gasoline technology and significantly exceeds 2010 Environmental Protection Agency emissions requirements.
* $7.5 million for Delphi Automotive Systems LLC to develop a novel low-temperature combustion system, coupled with technologies such as continuously variable valve control and engine downspeeding, to improve fuel economy by at least 25 percent.
* $15 million for Ford Motor Co in Dearborn, Michigan to achieve a 25 percent fuel economy improvement with a gasoline engine in a 2010 mid- to large-size sedan using technologies including engine downsizing, turbo-charging, direct injection, and a novel exhaust after-treatment system.
* $7.7 million for General Motors Corp in Pontiac, Michigan to develop an engine that uses lean combustion and active heat management, as well as a novel emissions control system, to improve the fuel economy of a 2010 Malibu demonstration vehicle by 25 percent.
* $12 million for Robert Bosch in Farmington Hills, Michigan to demonstrate a high compression, turbo-charged engine based on homogenous charge compression ignition technology -- a combustion technology that allows for lower emissions and higher efficiency -- to achieve up to 30 percent fuel economy improvement in a gasoline-fueled light-duty vehicle.

China taps eSolar for massive power project
by Reuters
U.S. solar thermal power company eSolar, whose investors include Google, said it has reached a deal with a Chinese power equipment maker to build a 2,000-megawatt solar thermal power project in China over the next 10 years.
The deal comes as the Chinese government aims to boost renewable energy generating capacity in the country, with plans to generate at least 10,000MW of solar energy and 20,000MW of wind power by 2020.
In a statement, eSolar said equipment maker China Shandong Penglai Electric Power Equipment Manufacturing was developing solar thermal plants using eSolar's technology.
It did not disclose financial details of the deal, but analysts said the 2,000MW project was the largest of its kind in China and could easily be worth more than $5 billion.
Solar thermal power uses the sun to heat water, producing steam to power a turbine and create electricity. The technology is seen by some as a viable replacement for fossil-fuel generators because such plants can rival the capacities of many conventional power plants.
eSolar said China Shandong Penglai was building the project along with a biomass electricity generation facility within an industrial park in Yulin, Shaanxi province.
China Shandong Penglai would operate the first 92MW this year, the statement said.
The Pasadena, California-based company has deals with U.S. utilities, including NRG Energy to create more than 400MW at solar thermal power plants in the U.S. Southwest. It recently opened its first commercial power plant in Lancaster, California.
eSolar's investors include technology incubator Idealab and Oak Investment Partners

Hybrid Electric Vehicles for Fleet Markets
Commercial Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles:
Cars, Light Trucks, and Medium/Heavy Duty Trucks
Many companies are grappling with the need to both cut costs and reduce carbon emissions, and their vehicle fleets represent a significant portion of this challenge. Fleet managers are searching for the best ways to achieve both goals, thus driving further investigation of electric vehicles as an alternative to internal combustion engine vehicles. Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) offer lower emissions and better fuel economy – between 10% and 40% higher than comparable internal combustion vehicles. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are the next step, potentially offering zero-emissions transportation depending on how far the vehicle travels.
Most fleet managers have already put together a business case for vehicles that accounts for the lifetime costs of the vehicles, including acquisition costs, fuel costs, maintenance, and residual value. However, only a few fleets are currently including a cost for emissions, though many recognize that this cost may be included in the near future. As all of these factors become increasingly important, and as commercial vehicle registrations and fleet sales rebound from the economic downturn in 2010 and beyond, Pike Research anticipates that HEVs and PHEVs will become a major focus for fleet operators in key markets around the world.
This Pike Research report provides an in-depth examination of the opportunities and challenges for HEVs and PHEVs in fleet markets around the world, including both light cars and trucks and the medium/heavy duty truck segments. The study provides a comprehensive review of key market growth drivers and business case considerations for fleet managers, along with a review of hybrid and battery technology issues. Detailed forecasts are included for the global vehicle market, HEV and PHEV sales (total and fleet), total commercial vehicle registrations and fleet sales by segment.

Carbon Management Software and Services
Carbon Management Software and Services
Business Drivers, Policy Issues, Enterprise Adoption Patterns,
Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecasts
The considerable attention to global warming coupled with an increasing focus on energy efficiency and cost have laid the groundwork for an emerging carbon management market. Although it is a relatively small and nascent market that Pike Research estimates will reach more than $380 million worldwide in 2009 in terms of spending for software and external services, it is a rapidly growing market. This market is forecast to experience an aggressive 40.2% CAGR through 2017. Between 2009 and 2010 Pike Research believes that the carbon management software and services market will grow by as much as 73% on a global basis.
There are many factors contributing to this robust growth rate, but the increasingly tough regulatory environment with respect to GHG emissions has had a significant impact. During the last couple of years the demand for carbon management has been driven by a slew of different regulations requiring organizations to reduce their carbon footprint. In particular, this has been the case for most of the advanced economies in Western Europe and Asia Pacific. Although North America has been lagging other nations, it is quickly catching up. Practically every industry sector is affected in varying degrees by the different market forces, but the energy, manufacturing, government, and retail sectors have so far experienced most pressure to adopt carbon management, especially from a regulatory, supply chain, brand equity and cost efficiency standpoint.
This Pike Research report examines global and regional carbon management trends, and forecasts market size and growth prospects by region and industry through 2017. In addition, the report assesses the competitive landscape, including SWOT analysis of major software and service vendors providing carbon management solutions and service offerings. The report also provides insights from interviews of large enterprise end users about their carbon management practices, viewpoints, and plans.
Key questions addressed:
What is the size of the global carbon management software and services market through 2017?
What are the growth trends and prospects in the carbon management software market on a global and regional basis?
What are the growth trends and prospects in the carbon management services market on a global and regional basis?

Stationary Fuel Cells
Fuel Cells for Residential, Commercial, and Industrial
Applications: Market Analysis and Forecasts
With global electricity demand continuing to rise, distributed energy generation, using a variety of renewable power technologies, is one of the most important tools for to address energy needs in ways that will have a limited impact on worldwide carbon emissions. Within the Renewable Distributed Energy Generation (RDEG) market, stationary fuel cells, while a relatively small category, are nevertheless an important part of the solution for a variety of residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
Pike Research’s analysis indicates that stationary fuel cells offer enormous long-term potential. They offer a clean, efficient source of electricity and range in size from 1 kW up to 10 MW or more. With reformer technology, fuel cells are able to tap into established or accessible sources of fuels such as natural gas, and they can run off of various other fuels including biofuels and gases that are by-products of adjacent industrial processes. With cogeneration or combined heat and power, efficiencies improve dramatically from 40–50% up to as high as 85%. However, cost issues make the technologies’ long-term potential difficult to predict. In order for costs to come down, volumes will have to increase. However, in order for volumes to materialize, costs will need to be reduced substantially. Without uniform government subsidy programs, it is unclear if or when that tipping point may occur.

Applications: Market Analysis and Forecasts
With global electricity demand continuing to rise, distributed energy generation, using a variety of renewable power technologies, is one of the most important tools for to address energy needs in ways that will have a limited impact on worldwide carbon emissions. Within the Renewable Distributed Energy Generation (RDEG) market, stationary fuel cells, while a relatively small category, are nevertheless an important part of the solution for a variety of residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
Pike Research’s analysis indicates that stationary fuel cells offer enormous long-term potential. They offer a clean, efficient source of electricity and range in size from 1 kW up to 10 MW or more. With reformer technology, fuel cells are able to tap into established or accessible sources of fuels such as natural gas, and they can run off of various other fuels including biofuels and gases that are by-products of adjacent industrial processes. With cogeneration or combined heat and power, efficiencies improve dramatically from 40–50% up to as high as 85%. However, cost issues make the technologies’ long-term potential difficult to predict. In order for costs to come down, volumes will have to increase. However, in order for volumes to materialize, costs will need to be reduced substantially. Without uniform government subsidy programs, it is unclear if or when that tipping point may occur. The estimated size of the fuel cell market in 2008 was 38 MW, and it is expected to grow to 219 MW by 2013, representing a CAGR% of 33%. This translates into a market with a dollar value of $242M in 2008 that will grow to nearly $716M by 2013, representing a CAGR% of 24%.
