Building Solar China 2015 ends on positive note
Dec 29, 2015 | Eco-Business
By Messe Frankfurt
The 2015 edition of Building Solar China, China’s professional platform for solar building technologies, ended on a positive note. Held from 23 – 25 September at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre in Shanghai, the event was organised by Messe Frankfurt (Shanghai) Co Ltd and Special Committee of Solar Buildings (SCSB) of China Renewable Energy Society (CRES).
With the growing importance and popularity of solar-related technologies in China, the fair successfully attracted a number of solar technology specialists and green construction professionals to explore, discuss and exchange ideas on the current and future development of China’s building technology sector.
The Building Solar China Conference held on 24 September was a highlighted event during the fair. More than 10 high-level speakers from domestic and overseas industry associations as well as research institutes were invited to share insights into the industry’s most pressing issues and new breakthroughs.
Guest speaker Ms Zhang Lei, Secretary General of Special Committee of Solar Buildings of China Renewable Energy Society, provided insights into upcoming developments regarding the photovoltaic market. She said: “BIPV systems, especially for efficient distributed systems, will become one of the most important technologies in China’s solar industry. And I believe that Building Solar China is a comprehensive platform for industry peers to gain a deeper understanding of the demand for and applications of these PV technologies in buildings.”
Returning guest speaker, Ms Linda Zhang, Deputy Chief Engineer at China Singyes Solar Technologies Holdings Ltd, commented: “I have been an avid supporter of Building Solar China since it began actively promoting the idea of PV building technologies. The industry is becoming increasingly market-oriented and I have noticed great leaps in PV roof technologies and establishment of PV power stations. Therefore, I’m optimistic about the future of the industry. The conference was an effective networking tool for idea exchange and information sharing between industry peers. In fact, I was able to connect with solar building material providers which has enabled me to strengthen my relationships with the industry.”
First-time attendee, Ms Tian Tian, a Postgraduate Researcher from the Department of Thermal Engineering at Tsinghua University, also shared her thoughts on the conference. She said: “I’m a research student of renewable technologies. I came to the conference to learn more about future developments of the solar building industry, especially on BIPV and BAPV technologies, which is one of our research topics. The trip proved to be an important asset to my work, providing me the opportunity to interact with the industry’s top experts. This experience has increased my knowledge and understanding of the country‘s growing PV market.”Companies and conference participants exchange market intelligence on cutting-edge solar building technologies
Aside from the concurrently held Building Solar China Conference, the fair also featured a display area, enabling visitors and conference attendees to gain a better understanding of the existing PV building technologies. Some of the participating exhibitors included Advanced Solar Power (Hangzhou) Inc, Hangzhou Tian Yu Solar Technology Co Ltd, Jiangyin UTTsolar Equipment Co Ltd, Zhejiang Heda Solar Technology Co Ltd and Shanghai Gaoshang Metal Window & Door Factory.
Returning exhibitor Jiangyin UTTsolar Equipment Co Ltd showcased their patented solar photovoltaic tiles.Ms Lucy Lu, Marketing Manager at the company, said: “What makes Building Solar China different from other solar technology-related fairs is that it has a precise market position that is in line with our BIPV products. I am quite satisfied with the visitor flow and our products have also drawn great interest here at the fair. I was able to meet a number of architects and overseas buyers who were interested in our products. The show benefits exhibitors and attendees equally. Based on the positive feedback we received this year, I will definitely come back again for the next edition.”
The industry support received from associations and institutions was critical to the event’s success. These associations includedthe Asian Institute of Intelligent Buildings (AIIB), the Continental Automated Buildings Association(CABA), the Hong Kong Association of Energy Engineers (HKAEE), the Shenzhen Solar Energy Society (SZSES), and the Zhejiang Strategic Alliance for Technological Innovation of Photovoltaic Industry.
Building Solar China 2015 was held concurrently with ISH Shanghai & CIHE, Shanghai Intelligent Building Technology, the Shanghai International Lighting Fair and the inaugural edition of Shanghai Smart Home Technology. Collectively known as the Shanghai edition of the “Intelligent Green Building – IGB” exhibition platform,the five shows occupied 40,000 sqm of exhibition space that ran from Halls N1 to N4. More than 700 exhibitors and 50,000 professional visitors were in attendance.

Scotland Just Hit Australia's 2030 Renewable Energy Target In 2014
Dec 29, 2015 | Gizmodo
By Mark Serrels
Earlier this year Bill Shorten unveiled a bold plan to bring 50% of Australia’s electricity generated by renewable sources by 2030. A plan he said would be shot down by scare tactics by the current government.
But the Scottish Government just announced it reached that same target. In 2014.
In 2014 49.7% of gross electrical consumption came from renewable sources, meaning that Scotland hit its 2015 target a year early. That’s an 11.9% increase on the 2013 figure.
“Today’s figures show that Scotland’s renewables sector is stronger than ever and our early adoption of clean, green energy technology and infrastructure was the right thing to do,” said Scotland’ Energy Minister Fergus Ewing. “It is fantastic news that renewables are now Scotland’s biggest electricity generator, and that nearly half of gross electricity consumption comes from renewables.”
Australia’s current official renewable energy target is 22.5% by 2020. Bill Shorten wants to increase that to 50% by 2030, to be in line with more ambitious countries around the world.
Obviously there are differences between the countries — Scotland potential as a natural resource base for renewable energy is high, with wind, wave and tide became the main sources of electricity. And compared the remainder of the United Kingdom, Scotland punches dramatically above its weight. Part of that has to do with the devolved Government’s focus on green issues. The Conservative UK government hasn’t put quite the same amount of faith into renewables as the Scottish Government.
The current Scottish government intends to push forward with its commitment to renewable energy.
“Despite damaging policy changes from the UK Government, we will continue to harness – and bolster – Scotland’s renewables potential, both in generation and infrastructure,” said Fergus Ewing. “At the end of Q3 2015, there was 7,504 MW of installed renewables electricity capacity in Scotland, an increase of 4.6% over the year.”
Australia’s potential for renewables is high. Many peer reviewed studies believe it is feasible (and economically beneficial) for Australia to move towards 100% dependence on renewable energy.
Some countries are running close to 100% on renewable. Countries like Costa Rica, who recently announced that 99% of its electricity came from renewables. Ethiopia and Uruguay posted similar numbers and Denmark recently produced 140% of its electricity demand via wind turbines.

Enel Green Power begins construction of 254 MW Brazil solar plant
Dec 29, 2015 | PV Magazine
By Ian Clover
The renewable energy unit of Italy’s biggest utility company, Enel Green Power (EGP) has announced that it has begun construction on a 254 MW solar farm in Brazil’s Bahia state.
The Ituverava solar farm is scheduled for completion by the end of 2017, and will be completed at a cost of $400 million, the Italian developer said. EGP has so far won 553 MW of 20-year solar development contracts under Brazil’s auction process held in August.
Support for the Ituverava solar farm comes via a 20-year PPA with Brazil’s Chamber of Commercialization of Electric Energy, or CCEE.
Completion of the solar project will significantly boost EGP’s PV footprint in Brazil, which currently stands at just 12 MW. “Globally, EGP has around 1,650 MW of solar projects in execution or contracted, which demonstrate our growing commitment towards the further development of this technology in the coming years,” said EGP CEO Francesco Venturini.
The Brazilian auction in which EGP was awarded the contract delivered more than 800 MW of solar tenders at just $0.08/kWh, and more than 11 GW of pre-approved solar projects via the reverse auction process.
In Italy, EGP has recently closed a joint venture agreement with F2I to develop solar PV projects in the country, bringing together a combined solar portfolio of 2017 MW of Italian installations. The enterprise has assets of more than €500 million.

180 MW Of Renewable Energy Projects In Pipeline In Jordan
Dec 28, 2015 | Clean Technica
By Smiti Mittal
Work on solar and wind energy projects in Jordan is likely to pick up swiftly in 2016 for companies that were awarded in projects in the recent auctions.
According to media reports, two international companies are set up to start work on solar power projects, while an 80 MW wind energy project is expected to be commissioned.
The Jordanian government is expected to sign final agreements for the construction of two solar photovoltaic (PV) power projects of 50 MW capacity each. These projects were auctioned in 2015 at record-low tariffs. One of the projects will be developed by Greece-based Sunrise Photovoltaic Systems which secured the project at the lowest tariff of US¢6.13 per kWh. The second project will be developed by Saudi Oger, which quoted a tariff bid of US¢6.48 per kWh. Two more projects of 50 MW each were also allocated in the auction.
The projects are expected to be commissioned over a period of 18-24 months.
Recently, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources announced that Spanish company TSK and Abu Dhabi-based Enviromena will jointly develop a 120 MW solar PV project, which will probably be the largest solar power project in Jordan when commissioned.
In addition to these solar power projects, an 80 MW wind energy project is expected to be commissioned in the second half of 2016.
The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources expects that the renewable energy capacity in Jordan will increase to 1 GW by the end of 2018.

Why Investors Shouldn’t Ignore the Power of the Sun
Dec 28, 2015 | Think Advisor
By Ginger Szala
“I’d put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don’t have to wait before oil and coal run out before we tackle that.” Thomas Edison, 1931
Thomas Edison was finally heard this month when President Obama signed the $1.1 trillion spending bill, which now allows U.S. producers to export crude oil, but, and some believe more importantly, also extends the investment tax credit (ITC) for the solar (and wind) power industry another five years. According to Bloomberg New Energy Finance, this swirl of the pen basically doubled the current solar power business in the United States.
The result was a surge in solar energy stock prices, including SolarCity (SCTY), the largest rooftop installer of solar panels, which jumped 34% off the news, and SunEdison (SUNE), which spiked 25%. And anyone who thinks Goldman Sachs isn’t tied into the government should now be disavowed of that belief: In November Goldman Sachs announced a quadrupling of its’ financing in clean energy projects to $150 billion.
Solar energy has been around for decades, and has had its bright and dark days. But in the past two years there has been major investment growth. According to the United Nation’s Environment Programme's "Global Trends in Renewable Energy Investment 2015” report, global investment in renewable power (excluding hyroelectric power) was $270.2 billion in 2014, 17% higher than in 2013.
The key here was a global boom in solar installations, with China and Japan spending $74.9 billion. In addition, investment in developing countries was up 36% over the previous year, to $131.3 billion. The study also found a key to solar power’s sustainability was cost cutting, which helped push investment in solar by 29% year-over-year to $149.6 billion.
Gaining knowledge of the energy industry is a significant step in understanding how to invest in and profit from it.
GTM Research states that the ITC five-year extension will result in 25 gigawatts of additional solar capacity over the next five years, “a 54% increase over a no-extension scenario.” It adds that this means $40 billion in incremental investment in solar power between 2016 and 2020.
The firm believes that most of this investment will be in the “utility-scale sector,” where the ITC extension will increase deployments 73% through 2020. “Utility-scale sector” is defined as projects owned by regulated electric utilities or selling energy primarily in or through wholesale electricity markets, basically large "solar farms" or "solar fields." GTM also sees “tremendous growth” in residential solar as well.
Although acknowledging the “ITC is a huge deal for the solar industry, “ Morningstar equity analyst Mark Barnett is more circumspect on actual investment in solar companies largely because the key ingredient for positive growth and cash flow is the ITC itself.
“We aren’t favorable on solar generation companies [because] the primary source of cash flow is the subsidy,” he says, adding that all economies being equal, if the only cash generator for a company is a government hand out, that’s not a solid reason to invest. That said, if valuations were attractive or undervalued, Morningstar certainly would take an interest in the stocks, he says. He adds the cost cutting in the industry largely has been the drop in solar panel prices, not necessarily operational expenses.
Despite these cautions, Barnett agrees “the world has changed” and clean energy is the future. Bottom line: investors are lining up with Thomas Edison, not only based on the U.S. spending bill, but the recent Paris Agreement on global climate change and reduction of greenhouse gases.
The world, even petro state Saudi Arabia, is moving toward clean energy, and solar seems favored across the globe. Even public pensions have invested, including California State Teachers’ Retirement System, a bellwether for pension investors. CalSTERs doubled its clean energy investments in late 2014, planning to spend $3.7 billion over five years.
"In short, the ITC extension is a game-changer and accelerates the timeline for the next stage of solar. We'll hit nearly 100 gigawatts of cumulative solar by the end of the decade -- after starting the decade with less than 2 gigawatts,” said GTM’s MJ Shiao, director of Solar Research in a post-ITC roundtable.
“With that ramp up, solar isn't just a promising technology. It's a real, deployable tool and platform for a next-generation electricity grid. The regulations and innovations that come together in the second half of this decade will set the stage for what the future of electricity in the U.S. looks like.”

10 Sustainable Business Stories That Shaped 2015
Dec 28, 2015 | The Huffington Post - Blog
By Andrew Winston
The year 2015 was a pivotal time when humanity turned more decisively toward building a thriving and sustainable world. On our largest shared challenge, climate change, most of the major hurdles to action -- both imagined and real - started to crumble. And an unlikely group of new voices joined the fight. From the Pope to global CEOs to almost all the world's political leaders, the most powerful people got on board.
It was a year of amazing progress -- mostly. Here are eight cross-cutting themes and stories from 2015 that are driving us toward a sustainable world (and two that are doing the opposite):
1. The Pope reminds us that we're all connected. The Pope's encyclical, Laudato Si, is a manifesto asking that we reconsider how we treat each other in a threatened and divided world. He challenged the current form of capitalism and made a powerful case for tackling climate change and inequality on moral and economic grounds (I've summarized his paperhere and here).
The Pope is, at least nominally, the moral leader of 1.2 billion Roman Catholics around the world. His voice carries enormous heft with all leaders. By adding a weighty moral dimension to the discussions of climate and equity, and for linking them effectively, I believe his manifesto and continued vocal support for the issues make this the top story of the year.
Ideas can affect the world more deeply than even historic treaties or agreements. Consider that other power brokers, such as Jim Yong Kim, President of the World Bank, echoed themes similar to those the Pope raised. Kim said in September, "we have no hope of ending extreme poverty unless we tackle climate change."
2. In Paris, all countries say with one voice, "We will tackle climate change." The deal reached on December 12 might be one of the first times in history that representatives of every human being on earth agreed on, well, anything. It's big news and a very good start, but the deal has a major flaw: the commitments will not keep the world from warming 1.5 degrees Celsius, or even 2 degrees (the stated long-term goals). That said, with 187 countries pledging collective action to cut carbon emissions, the deal will have vast repercussions for business, particularly as governments put into place policies to remake our energy, transportation, and building systems.
The lead-up to Paris gave us a taste of what's to come. For example, China committed to implement a carbon cap and trade system, Britain said it would phase out coal plants by 2025, and President Obama vetoed the Keystone pipeline. Besides possibly saving humanity, the deal has another big upside -- it signals to financial markets and businesses that the low carbon economy is worth investing in. Multi-trillion-dollar markets are in play and there will be many more winners than losers.
3. Companies line up like never before for climate action. One of the reasons the Paris talks succeeded was the clear support of the business community. CEOs from some of the world's largest companies put out public statements backing a strong climate deal. Sectors calling for action included banking (Bank of America, Citi, Goldman, JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo), the apparel industry (including Levi, Gap, Adidas, VF), and the World Economic Forum, which brought 79 CEOs together to urge action. Even oil giants from Europe (including BP, Eni, Shell, Statoil, Total) advocated for a price on carbon.
Some big names went even further than this nudging and took direct action to lower their carbon emissions and costs by buying large amounts of renewable energy. The giants contracting for hundreds of megawatts of wind and solar included Apple, HP, Kaiser Permanente, Google, Dow, Amazon, and Owens Corning. Many of these companies are also shooting to use only renewables.
4. Companies and global governing bodies set visionary global goals. Goals matter. Big, aggressive targets drive organizations (like the ones above) and countries forward. And we've seen a lot of them this year.
To start, the UN, in a parallel with the climate negotiations, released in September the ambitious Sustainable Development Goals. Also called the Global Goals, these 17 statements (and 169 targets) create a vision and destination for building a thriving world -- no poverty, zero hunger, health and well-being, equity and equality, and action on climate change, just to name a few.
Many companies also set visionary goals this year, often based on science -- and some achieved big targets like Coca-Cola's 100% water replenishment goal. A few examples:Dow put forth 2025 targets "to help redefine the role of business in society," which aim to deliver breakthrough innovations and help build the circular economy.More than 50 large companies have joined RE100, a group committing to use 100% renewable power (disclosure: I'm on the RE100 steering committee).Unilever said it would go even further and generate more energy than it needs by 2030 (and exit coal by 2020).Google will buy two gigawatts of renewable power (that's a lot).More than 100 big companies signed on to follow science-based targets for reducing emissions.The White House has gathered 154 companies (and growing) to make hundreds of specific commitments to reduce carbon and buy renewable power.
This all leads to a huge breakthrough:
5. The vision of an all-renewable energy system comes into focus. In November, two professors from Stanford and the University of California at Davis mapped out how 139 countries could rely entirely on renewable energy by 2050. As the progress countries and companies are making shows, this isn't just science mixed with wishful thinking. The world has already begun the shift -- and the numbers bear it out.
Of all the new power generation built globally over the past two years, renewable sources accounted for over half. In the U.S., in the first six months of 2015, 70% was renewable. This is in part because every clean energy technology is rapidly getting cheaper. As Bloomberg reported in August, for example, "fossil fuels [are] losing cost advantage over solar, wind." This means that solar will reach the point where it costs the same as traditional options -- what's called "grid parity" -- in 80% of the world by 2017. To keep the renewable sector humming along toward that economic watershed mark here in the U.S., the congress passed tax credits for solar and wind at the last minute this year.
6. Wall Street wakes up. For years, asset owners with longer-term horizons, like pension or sovereign wealth funds, have pressed companies to better manage environmental and social issues. This year, the shorter-term investors (shorthand: "Wall Street") started to join in.
Blackrock, with $4.7 trillion in assets, has been pushing the investment community to get serious on climate. Larry Fink, Blackrock's CEO, also sent a letter in April to S&P 500 CEOs suggesting that they invest more for the long-term and stop putting so much money into stock buybacks and dividends (a $1 trillion boondoggle for investors this year). And at Morgan Stanley (in what I believe was a first), an analyst raised the stock price target for companies -- in this case three apparel giants (Nike, Hanesbrands, and VF) -- based on how well they manage environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues.
In other investor news, the fossil fuel divestment movement grew quickly, gathering together universities, cities, and other institutions that have more than $3 trillion in assets. And Bill Gates gathered some friends to create the largest clean energy fund in history to invest in R&D. So-called "impact investing" is moving out of the niche world and into the mainstream. Blackrock, again, created a new ESG-friendly mutual fund.
7. Consumers (finally) show interest in sustainable products. Blackrock's new fund was specifically aimed at Millennials, the group of workers and consumers that are demanding more environmental and socially sound products. A Morgan Stanley report found that Millennials are twice as likely to buy from brands with good management of environmental and social issues, and twice as likely to check product packaging for sustainability performance. For packaged goods and food in particular, it's the era of what many call the "clean label." It's a sweeping change in expectations, as people want to know how everything is sourced, made, and delivered.
There's real money here for the good actors. Mega-retailer Target, for example, assesses thousands of products it sells and scores them on sustainability performance. For a segment of the highest-ranked products, sold under the "Made to Matter" banner, sales at Target are growing much faster than regular products (and will total $1 billion this year). And Walmart took a fascinating step, trying to help choosy customers by labeling thousands of more sustainable products online as "Made by a Sustainability Leader."
8. Companies challenged, and were challenged by, their supply chains. For many sectors, supply chains are becoming both a major source of risk and also an opportunity for positive change. The food business is an important case study. At a UN event I moderated in Paris, the CEO of Kellogg's talked about the risk to the company's supply chain from climate change. It's one reason that the food giant set a new carbon reduction goal for its whole value chain - as did competitor General Mills.
Why? The previously mentioned clean label movement is a key part of what the New York Times called "a seismic shift in how people eat." This shift in consumer demand is rippling up through supply chains as food giants race to change the food system. This year McDonalds experimented with organic beef, Subway committed to buying antibiotic-free meat (following many others in the sector as well as Perdue and Tyson), General Mills said it will drop artificial flavors and colors from cereals, as will Kraft with its mac and cheese. The list goes on, and the trend won't stop at food and personal care products.
In addition to these steps forward, 2015, like all years, included some steps back.
9. Commodities continue their relentless plunge in price. During the 20th century, the price of nearly everything that goes into making our society - energy, metals, food, and so on - dropped steadily. Then from 2000 to 2014, everything got wildly more expensive, doubling and tripling at least. But since the end of last year, the prices of most commodities have plummeted. Oil is nearing a 14 year low.
This massive shift has many fathers, from overproduction and over-investment in capacity to a general slowdown in China's economy. And it's worth noting that lower costs are good for most businesses (except commodity producers) in the short-term. But the rising cost of doing business was a core driver of the move to a more circular, sustainable economy. The logic of tight resources has not vanished, and investments in renewables have not slowed as much as lower fossil fuel energy prices would've suggested. But making investments in dematerializing value chains, or in designing products for end-of-life, is harder to justify right now. That's unfortunate in the long run.
10. VW cheats and Exxon's true colors. Warren Buffet once said, "It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it." VW quickly learned this this harsh truth when it came out that the company had cheated on emissions tests to make its diesel cars seem cleaner burning. Credit Suisse says VW's actions could cost the company $86 billion, andsales in November in the U.S. dropped 25%.
But this story does not call into question every sustainable product claim out there. No, this was about fraud. But it does perhaps make diesel less compelling as a clean transportation technology. VW found it was difficult to achieve high fuel efficiency, power/torque, and low emissions ... but not impossible. It turns out, by the way, you can get all three: just look at Tesla.
And as for Exxon, it was the least surprising "scandal" of the year that the company knew about climate change for decades and spent millions of dollars calling the science into question. At least the exposure of VW's and Exxon's misdeeds demonstrates that transparency is a powerful tool coming for everyone.
Looking Back -- and Forward
This year will likely go down as the time we began, in earnest, to make some important and deep changes in "business as usual." Climate change is becoming an accepted reality to address; renewable energy is starting to outcompete fossil fuels; the private sector is taking the lead in building more sustainable products and pleasing ever-more demanding customers and workers; and investors are following the money toward a cleaner economy.
The coming year will be filled with more companies facing global challenges and considering tough questions about their purpose and role in society. I look forward to a fascinating and more sustainable year to come.
