Cleaner Greener China

Fong Wan - PG&E
What makes California different
- long standing policies that encourage use of energy efficiency, renewable source, and natural gas
- 30+ years of programs
- Energy action plan

have maintained very low growth of energy usage over last 30 years
- new technologies
- building technologies
- appliance standards

emerging technologies
- data center air flow management/ data centers use a lot of energy and through airflow management reductions
- bilevel stairwell lighting
- 80 plus
- supermarket LED
- ceramic metal haides

Aggressive renewable energy
- 3,500MW of renewable
- traditional: biomass, wind, small hydro (<30MW), geothermal
- emerging: solar, biogas, ocean

Solar thermal - parabolic through , compact linear fresnel, power toer (900 MW)
Solar PV - Fixed thin film, tracking crystalline
Rooftop solar - in 2007, over 50% of all US installations were at PG&E

Smart grid - today's grid was built in 1950s., but to go forward it must be able to move from traditional (big utility to customer) to 2 way flow
- air conditioner management

Ellen Carberry - Clean Tech in China

Cleantech China initiative will “uncover, create, and promote cleantech opportunities in China”

Henry Yu - IBM - energy and utility
Utility infrastructure is critical
- water & waste, energy, and gas
- Drivers: quality of life, social stability, industrial foundations, economic growth, energy dependence, eco/green economy enablement, global image, improved Human Development index

IBM solutions
- Intelligent transportation systems
- carbon management
- energy efficient
- advanced water management
- intelligent utility networks (measure and improve energy management)

provide real time solution for sedimentation at 3 gorges

David Harris - Ultrafuture World Limited
Energy Island
- integrated platform to bring together technologies related to water (energy, aquaculture, tourism, and sustainable communities)
- consortium of companies

Water footprint
- China/ india 25L/ USD
- USD 100L/ USD

Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion
- takes in water from surface (hot)/ 1000M (cold)
- suitable in tropical water

All Sources of ocean based energy sources:
- wind, solar (power tower), wave energy, ocean current, marine geothermal
- scalable from 50 - 250MW

Zhang Weihua
- Most important thing is how to make company more green.
- China Telecom is largest telco in China, and gateway out to rest of world.
- For company, we are working on how to green the network. Use GSM and CDMA, to reduce energy needs.
- CDMA is “green phone”
- built environment to improve their own buildings. Import equipment (mainly from US), but from operational perspective we are more focused on conditioning and demand
- build in more green into info/comm building for data centers
