This summary explores the critical need for advanced energy solutions in Northeast Ohio amidst escalating energy and climate crises. It examines the decline in conventional energy sources and highlights Ohio's unique economic and health considerations. The document addresses the uncertainties of future oil supplies, the rising demand for energy, and the implications of high oil prices on both consumers and the economy. It advocates for a transition to advanced energy technologies, including renewable sources and efficiency improvements, to ensure a sustainable energy future.

Summary • Why Advanced energy? The two most devastating crises we might ever face—Energy & Climate change and their genesis in conventional energy • Why now? Declining supplies and increasing demand • Why Ohio? Economy and health of the region • How?
By some estimates, there will be an average of two-percent annual growth in global oil demand over the years ahead, along with, conservatively, a three-percent natural decline in production from existing reserves. That means by 2010 we will need on the order of an additional 50 million barrels a day.
Perspectives On Future Oil Prices • Oil markets have entered a ``super-spike'' period that could see 1970's-style price surges as high as $105 a barrel • ``Based on our analysis of gasoline spending and the economy, we estimate that U.S. gasoline prices may need to exceed $4 per gallon.''(Goldman Sachs) • “Oil prices may well remain high for a prolonged period of time . . . Further rises — if they materialize — may have more severe consequences than currently anticipated . . .”(Bank of International Settlements, BIS) • "Oil is far too cheap at the moment” (Matthew R. Simmons, Founder and Chairman, Simmons &Company International) • “People are beginning to expect $80 per barrel later this year. I can't tell you how high oil prices will rise. Nobody knows how much of a price increase will be needed to bring supply and demand back into balance."(Andrew Weissman, Analyst and Chairman of Energy Ventures Group in Washington)

Advanced Energy • Central powerplants (coal, gas, nuclear) • Power grid • Natural gas heating/distribution • Inefficient end-uses • Efficient appliances, motors, lighting • Geothermal heat pumps • Solar thermal • Superconductivity • Wind • Solar PV • Coal gasification • Biopower • Fuel cells Stationary • Plug-in hybrids • Advanced diesels • Composites • Hydrogen • Fuel cells • Biofuels • Gas/coal to liquids • Unconventional hydrocarbons • Oil E&P and refining • Gasoline automobiles • Diesel trucks Transport Demand-reducing Supply-increasing Conventional energy Advanced energy
Recap: Energy Issues • Customers spending much more on energy, with potential for even further increases: • Increasing concerns about future oil supplies, putting upward pressure on gasoline prices • Heating bills on the rise because of higher natural gas prices • Electricity price increases likely when rate caps end after 2008 • Increasingly challenging environmental issues because of energy consumption: • Ozone non-attainment, driven mainly by motor vehicles poor local air quality • Global climate change as a result of all fossil fuel combustion (especially coal) • “Conventional” energy paradigm – multi-trillion dollar global industry – unlikely to continue to be adequate • “Advanced” energy industry will need to be built to meet growing global energy demands
Regional Advanced Energy Strategy Results REGIONAL ADVANCED ENERGY STRATEGY • Reduced customer expenditures on energy, without harming customer “experience” associated with energy consumption • Improved local air quality, and reduced contributions to global climate change 1. Develop and implement advanced energy supply and consumption plan for region Coherence, consistency and linkages • Increased economic activity: jobs, tax base, wealth creation • Technological leadership and culture of innovation • Improved public pride and civic reputation 2. Cultivate and achieve local excellence in supplying advanced energy to world markets
Advanced Energy in Ohio • Fuel cells: recognized as a leader in fuel cell technology development (Ohio Fuel Cell Coalition, Wright Fuel Cell Group) • Wind: decent wind resource, several developers evaluating sites/projects, good industrial/supply chain base to attract manufacturers • Bioenergy: large agricultural base, considerable ethanol and biodiesel fuel opportunities • Solar: leader in thin-film technologies (University of Toledo, First Solar) • Clean coal: FutureGen project proposal, AEP’s IGCC plant under development, coal gasification project exploration (Energy Industries of Ohio • Coal-to-liquids: proposal for demonstration project at Wright-Patterson • Energy efficiency: increasing “green building” efforts, cogeneration and steam loop potential in cities
