<div id="lingo_span">It used to take decades for whole industries to shift overseas. Not anymore. Solar panel manufacturing is moving to Asia, and Chinese and Taiwanese companies especially are the beneficiaries&#8211;thanks to their low cost of production. Now come reports that the Chinese government is extending billions of dollars in loans to domestic firms, making life even tougher for U.S. competitors.</p>
<p><a href="http://finapps.forbes.com/finapps/jsp/finance/compinfo/CIAtAGlance.jsp?tkr=STP"><strong>Suntech</strong></a> ( <a href="http://finapps.forbes.com/finapps/jsp/finance/compinfo/CIAtAGlance.jsp?tkr=STP">STP</a> - <a href="http://search.forbes.com/search/CompanyNewsSearch?ticker=STP">news </a>- <a href="http://people.forbes.com/search?ticker=STP">people </a>) will reportedly get a loan of $7.3 billion from the state-run China Development Bank while<a href="http://finapps.forbes.com/finapps/jsp/finance/compinfo/CIAtAGlance.jsp?tkr=TSL"><strong>Trina Solar</strong></a> ( <a href="http://finapps.forbes.com/finapps/jsp/finance/compinfo/CIAtAGlance.jsp?tkr=TSL">TSL</a> - <a href="http://search.forbes.com/search/CompanyNewsSearch?ticker=TSL">news </a>- <a href="http://people.forbes.com/search?ticker=TSL">people </a>), not so long ago a marginal player, will get a hefty $4.4 billion in funding. &#8220;It marks a dramatic bump in funding for the China solar PV [photovoltaic] industry,&#8221; writes <a href="http://finapps.forbes.com/finapps/jsp/finance/compinfo/CIAtAGlance.jsp?tkr=DB"><strong>Deutsche Bank</strong></a> ( <a href="http://finapps.forbes.com/finapps/jsp/finance/compinfo/CIAtAGlance.jsp?tkr=DB">DB</a> - <a href="http://search.forbes.com/search/CompanyNewsSearch?ticker=DB">news </a>-<a href="http://people.forbes.com/search?ticker=DB">people </a>) analyst Steve O&#8217;Rourke. &#8220;China considers solar PV and broader renewable energy as strategic.&#8221;</p>
<p>The loans will likely help the companies move from pure manufacturing operations into what many perceive to be a more lucrative long-term strategy: planning, financing and building large-scale projects for utilities and commercial customers. China has an extra incentive to fund such activities since the industry expansion will create jobs and help the nation move toward its renewable energy goals.</p>
<p>While the loans, if confirmed, would be good news for China&#8217;s industry and (possibly) its environment, it&#8217;s bad news for U.S. firms like <a href="http://finapps.forbes.com/finapps/jsp/finance/compinfo/CIAtAGlance.jsp?tkr=ESLR"><strong>Evergreen Solar</strong></a> ( <a href="http://finapps.forbes.com/finapps/jsp/finance/compinfo/CIAtAGlance.jsp?tkr=ESLR">ESLR</a> - <a href="http://search.forbes.com/search/CompanyNewsSearch?ticker=ESLR">news </a>- <a href="http://people.forbes.com/search?ticker=ESLR">people </a>),<a href="http://finapps.forbes.com/finapps/jsp/finance/compinfo/CIAtAGlance.jsp?tkr=SPWR"><strong>SunPower</strong></a> ( <a href="http://finapps.forbes.com/finapps/jsp/finance/compinfo/CIAtAGlance.jsp?tkr=SPWR">SPWR</a> - <a href="http://search.forbes.com/search/CompanyNewsSearch?ticker=SPWR">news </a>- <a href="http://people.forbes.com/search?ticker=SPWR">people </a>) and <a href="http://finapps.forbes.com/finapps/jsp/finance/compinfo/CIAtAGlance.jsp?tkr=ENER"><strong>Energy Conversion Devices</strong></a> ( <a href="http://finapps.forbes.com/finapps/jsp/finance/compinfo/CIAtAGlance.jsp?tkr=ENER">ENER</a> - <a href="http://search.forbes.com/search/CompanyNewsSearch?ticker=ENER">news </a>- <a href="http://people.forbes.com/search?ticker=ENER">people </a>). Plummeting prices recently erased the remaining efficiency advantages of many Western producers, which are themselves moving manufacturing to Asia.</p>
<p>Subsidies in the West can lure some manufacturing back.<a href="http://finapps.forbes.com/finapps/jsp/finance/compinfo/CIAtAGlance.jsp?tkr=CSIQ"><strong>Canadian Solar</strong></a> ( <a href="http://finapps.forbes.com/finapps/jsp/finance/compinfo/CIAtAGlance.jsp?tkr=CSIQ">CSIQ</a> - <a href="http://search.forbes.com/search/CompanyNewsSearch?ticker=CSIQ">news </a>- <a href="http://people.forbes.com/search?ticker=CSIQ">people </a>)&#8211;which makes silicon wafers as well as solar panels and had $664 million in revenue last year&#8211;currently does all its manufacturing in China and sells to customers in Europe and North America. But in order to be eligible for feed-in tariffs (subsidies, in other words) in the province of Ontario, Canada, 60% of the manufacturing has to be done in the province. So Canadian Solar announced in December it would build a solar panel manufacturing plant somewhere in Ontario. The specific location hasn&#8217;t been disclosed, but the company said the plant would generate 500 new manufacturing jobs.</p>
<p>These sorts of moves don&#8217;t lessen the competitive pricing edge that Chinese solar firms currently have. But Mike Miskovsky, general manager for Canadian Solar&#8217;s U.S. division, says low price alone doesn&#8217;t guarantee market share. &#8220;More important is the best value per dollar spent on a watt,&#8221; he says. If cheap panels don&#8217;t generate as much electricity as slightly higher-priced panels, they are not as attractive. Miskovsky points to PTC ratings, which are derived from testing solar panels&#8217; performance in real world conditions, as a better guide than simply price per panel.</p>

<strong>Step 1 </strong>- Book your free home sustainability assessment<br />
At no cost, a qualified home sustainability assessor will visit your home to investigate energy and water consumption patterns to identify actions that your household can take to save energy and water.<br />

<strong><br />
Step 2 -</strong> Receive your tailored home sustainability assessment report<br />
valid for six months, including:<br />
the best water and energy saving changes you can make to your home<br />
practical information to get your household started.<br />
<a href="http://energy-options.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/woman-laptop-blank-panel1.gif"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-369" title="woman laptop blank panel" src="http://energy-options.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/woman-laptop-blank-panel1.gif" alt="" width="125" height="125" /></a><br />

<p>The report is the first step in qualifying for an interest-free Green Loan of up to $10,000 from one of the Green Loans participating financial institutions.</p>
<p>Only one Green Loan is provided per home sustainability assessment report—but one loan can support many individual actions.</p>
<p>Your household may simply accept the report and implement the simplest recommendations.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>NATURAL GAS DRIVEN &amp; POWER TO BURN &#8211; CLEAN POWER &#8211; JAPAN<img class="size-full wp-image-192 aligncenter" title="p36552" src="http://energy-options.info/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/p36552.jpg" alt="p36552" width="130" height="98" />Halfway between the centre of Tokyo and Narita Airport is Makuhari New<br />
City, the centre of Japan’s latest and boldest trigeneration experiment.<br />
The city&#8217;s Makuhari District Heating and Cooling Centre (MDHCC) owned and operated by EnergyAdvance iscontributing positively to the city which is energy-rich and environmentally-friendly.<br />
Heat for the district heating and district cooling system is supplied to the 61.6 hectares of the international businessarea of the city.</p>
<p>Two years ago the MDHCC brought in anew high-efficiency gas engine tri-generation plant .</p>
<p>The results have beensignificant in the high energy savings and<br />
reduction of CO2 emissions.<br />
Since the installation of the new system, MDHCC has raised COP by 0.5 points and has achieved a 24% reduction of fuel<br />
consumption and cut CO2 emissions by 24,000t/a.<br />
This saving of energy and reduction of CO2 emissions results from the best mix of optimum layout and design of highefficiency equipment such as gas engines which generate power using clean natural gas as fuel and optimum operational technology.<br />
Two high-efficiency Wärtsilä engines with a power generation efficiency of<br />
45.6% have been introduced for the firsttime into Japan. Electrical power<br />
produced by the gas engines runs theelectric turbochiller to produce chilled water. The surplus electrical power isused to power the plant and is also sold to generate cost benefits.<br />
The Wärtsilä gas engines not only produce high levels of efficiency but they also provide low costs of operation as natural gas costs less than fuel oil and the consumption of lubricating oil is at a minimum level.<br />
A heat recovery system uses the gas engine&#8217;s waste heat to produce steam to power the engine&#8217;s waste heat boilers toproduce large amounts of steam which drives absorption chillers that produce chilled water. Additionally, no steam is Steam operations in Japan</p>
<p><img src="file:///C:/DOCUME~1/HENRYS~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/moz-screenshot-28.jpg" alt="" />Clever utilisation of steam is at the heart of the Makuhari District Heating and Cooling Centre located just outside Tokyo. Many consider it the perfect model of trigeneration.Wasted as it is actively used as a heat<br />
source in all kinds of situations at theoperator&#8217;s facilities.<br />
The beneficial aspectsSteam created by the furnace flue boiler becomes the heat source for customer&#8217;s heating and is also used as a heat source<br />
for the steam absorption chiller.</p>
<p>Water tube boiler is operated primarilyto drive the steam turbine turbo chiller.<br />
Heat generated during cooling of the gas engine is sent to the hot water absorption chiller to be used as a heat source for the air conditioning.<br />
In addition, high temperature heat generated by the gas engine is used to<br />
create steam at the heat recovery boiler,which is used as the heat source to produce chilled water for air conditioning at the steam absorption chiller.<br />
The cooling towers are installed on the upper portion of the pyramid and serve to radiate heat generated to the chillers.<br />
The district heating and chilling pipelines are installed in purpose-built culverts which run throughout the city<br />
The tri-generation power plant contributes to the local environment by<br />
significantly reducing CO2 emissions and preventing air pollution by reducing both NOx and SOx emissions.<br />
The heating and cooling of buildings is, in many cases, installed by independent air conditioning systems. The buildings must each provide everything from installation of various heating and cooling sources to management, operation and maintenance.<br />
On the other hand, district heating and cooling generates &#8216;heat&#8217; such as chilled water and steam collectively at a single energy plant.<br />
This is a centralised system that supplies this through pipes to multiple buildings located within a fixed area. By entrusting such matters to energy professionals, customers are able to use &#8216;heat&#8217; that is safe,secure and environmentally-friendly.<br />
A spokesman for the MDHCC told IPA:<br />
“The concept of tri-generation is now a proven, cost effective alternative for a continuous supply of electricity, heatingand cooling needed all year round.”<br />

<p><!-- end of main-img --></div>
<p><!--end of toolandimage--> <!-- article --> <!-- free images layout --> <!--article txt-->Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd (MHI) and Southern Company, a major US power company, will jointly launch a field test in 2011 to recover high-purity carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) from coal-fired flue gas.</p>
<p>The two companies will set up a CO<sub>2</sub> recovery demonstration plant, which is designed to be built at a medium-scale thermal power station in Alabama, the US. Based on the results of this demonstration plant, they will aim to commercialize the recovery plant in the future.</p>
<p>The field test will be subsidized by the US government. The demonstration plant will be constructed in Plant Barry, a coal-fired power station owned by Southern&#8217;s subsidiary Alabama Power. Recovered CO<sub>2</sub> will be compressed and stored in an aquifer deep underground.</p>
<p>The demonstration plant is composed of various facilities such as those for pre-processing, CO<sub>2</sub> absorption/reclamation (absorption and reclamation towers) and CO<sub>2</sub> injection. The plant will recover 500t of CO<sub>2</sub> per day (equivalent to that produced when 25,000kW electricity is generated). The recovery rate is 90% or higher. The purity of recovered CO<sub>2</sub> is expected to be 99.9%.</p>
<p>The recovery process is as follows. Coal-fired flue gas contains not only CO<sub>2</sub> but also &#8216;impurities&#8217; such as SOx, NOx, heavy metals and halogen compounds. These impurities are removed as much as possible in the pre-processing facilities, and the flue gas is cooled to near room temperature.</p>
<p>Flue gas with most impurities removed is taken into the absorption tower. Inside the tower, the gas is brought into contact with an absorbing solution so that only CO<sub>2</sub> is absorbed into the solution. The solvent, &#8220;KS-1,&#8221; is an amine-based material co-developed by MHI and Kansai Electric Power Co Inc.</p>
<p>Next, the solution containing CO<sub>2</sub> is sent to the reclamation tower, where CO<sub>2</sub> and the solution are separated from each other by heating. Then, CO<sub>2</sub> is recovered, and the solution is recycled.</p>
<p>MHI has already commercialized a system to recover CO<sub>2</sub> from natural gas-fired flue gas. But, in order to apply this system to coal-fired flue gas, an additional process is required to remove heavy metals and halogen compounds because the impurities contained in natural gas-fired flue gas are only SOx and NOx.</p>
<p>Electric Power Development Co Ltd is also testing a CO<sub>2</sub> recovery plant for coal-fired flue gas at its Matsushima Thermal Power Plant. However, the amount of CO<sub>2</sub> recovered at the plant is only 10t per day. Therefore, a field test needs to be carried out using a larger scale plant for commercialization.</p>
<p>In addition to the field test announced this time, MHI is planning to construct a demonstration plant with a recovery capacity of 3,000t per day in the UK and intends to start trial operations in 2015.</p>

<p>State Rep. Mark Strama, D-Austin, told a House Energy Resources subcommittee that a solar power measure would create a loan system to help homeowners like him pay for pricey rooftop solar panels.</p>
<p>If the proposal becomes law, Strama said, it would &#8220;overcome the two biggest barriers for my wife and me from putting solar on our roof,&#8221; which are capital costs and willingness to invest in a long-term efficiency improvement.</p>
<p>&#8220;First, it&#8217;s a $25,000 up-front investment. You got to have $25,000 laying around. And the second is, we probably ? especially after redistricting in two years ? won&#8217;t stay in our house long enough&#8221; to recover the cost in utility savings from putting up solar panels.</p>
<p>The proposal, which Strama said is &#8220;absolutely my favorite bill,&#8221; would give cities and counties the power to create &#8220;emissions management districts&#8221; with bonding authority that could offer loans to homeowners for energy-efficiency projects, such as solar panels, solar water heaters or small wind turbines.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-122" title="solar-roof-hut" src="http://energy-options.info/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/solar-roof-hut.jpg" alt="solar-roof-hut" width="144" height="104" /></p>
<p>Homeowners who get a loan would pay it back annually at the same time as their property taxes. The debt would be passed on to the next homeowner (who could also benefit from the energy-efficiency measure) if the house were sold.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-121" title="books01-759x535" src="http://energy-options.info/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/books01-759x535.jpg" alt="books01-759x535" width="119" height="84" /></p>
<p>California and Colorado have laws on the books that give local governments the authority to loan money for energy-efficiency projects.</p>

<p>Renewable energy seems to be all the buzz at the Statehouse this session,</p>
<p>as lawmakers offer bills designed to do everything from creating training programs</p>
<p>for the &#8220;new energy economy,&#8221; to requiring homebuilders to offer prospective</p>
<p>homebuyers a solar-power option.</p>
<p>Assistant House Majority Leader Andy Kerr, D-Lakewood, previewed the latest effort</p>
<p>to boost alternative energy at a press conference at the Capitol on March 29.</p>
<p>The next day Kerr officially unveiled House Bill 1312, concerning renewable energy</p>
<p>and energy efficiency for schools, which would bring together two of this session&#8217;s</p>
<p>hot-button issues: renewable energy projects and education.</p>
<p>HB 1312, &#8220;The Renewable for Schools&#8221; proposal, would create a plan through the</p>
<p>Governor&#8217;s Energy Office and the State Treasury to provide school districts with</p>
<p>low-interest loans.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-113" title="bag-of-money" src="http://energy-options.info/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/bag-of-money.png" alt="bag-of-money" width="75" height="88" /></p>
<p>The districts would use the loan money to install solar panels</p>
<p>or wind turbines, or to convert diesel-powered school buses to battery or</p>
<p>hybrid-electric power. Kerr said the program would allow money now spent on</p>
<p>energy to be used on classroom education instead.</p>
<p>The low-interest loans are funded by the Public School Permanent Fund,</p>
<p>which was created in the 1800s, when the state set aside vast acreages of land</p>
<p>for the benefit of schoolchildren. Proceeds from these land sales have been</p>
<p>invested by the state and currently are available for this program at a 5.1%</p>
<p>interest rate. The balance of the fund is currently estimated at $581 million.</p>
<p>Kerr hopes these renewable energy loans will reduce energy costs for schools,</p>
<p>promote energy independence and provide students with an opportunity to learn</p>
<p>about renewable energy technologies.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-114" title="howard-fair-green-baloons-kids" src="http://energy-options.info/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/howard-fair-green-baloons-kids-300x225.jpg" alt="howard-fair-green-baloons-kids" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<p>&#8220;The Renewable for Schools program creates a win-win-win situation,&#8221;</p>
<p>said Colorado State Treasurer Cary Kennedy, who has partnered with Kerr</p>
<p>to promote the bill. &#8220;It&#8217;s a win for taxpayers and schools who will save money</p>
<p>on energy costs, providing more funds for the classroom. It&#8217;s a win for the state,</p>
<p>which will see a high investment return on our dollars loaned to schools, and</p>
<p>it&#8217;s a win for the economy as we create new ?green&#8217; jobs across the state.&#8221;</p>
<p>There was, however, opposition at the House Education Committee meeting on</p>
<p>Monday from Barbara Walker, executive officer of the Independent Bankers of</p>
<p>Colorado. Walker also testified on behalf of the Colorado Bankers Association.</p>
<p>Walker said local community banks would not be able to compete with the low</p>
<p>interest rates offered by the state and would lose business under HB 1312.</p>
<p>Although Walker could not pinpoint the exact percentage rate that community banks</p>
<p>would offer school districts for renewable energy loans, she said that in typical</p>
<p>financing through a community bank, municipal financing rates ? those that a</p>
<p>school district can obtain ? would always be below the market rate available to the</p>
<p>commercial public. She said HB 1312 would put community banks in direct</p>
<p>competition with the state to appropriate loans, thereby putting local community</p>
<p>banks at risk for failure on these types of loans.</p>
<p>Kerr said the difference between loans through HB 1312 and loans school districts</p>
<p>could obtain through community banks is that, under his proposal, the school</p>
<p>district is required to apply for a loan through the Governor&#8217;s Energy Office.</p>
<p>He said the office would evaluate each project application before making its</p>
<p>recommendations to the state treasurer.</p>
