February 26, 2010 (Investorideas.com Renewable/Green Newswire) Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) is investing $155 million and adding 60 jobs at its Cleveland operations to build a new fuel-efficient V-6 engine for the 2011 Mustang, which has expected class-leading highway fuel efficiency of 30 miles per gallon on the highway and 305 horsepower.
The investment and jobs at Ford's Cleveland Engine Plant No. 1 brings the company's investment in powertrain engineering and facility upgrades in North America to $1.8 billion to support its 2011 vehicle launches – with more to come. The total number of jobs being added as part of these investments is 1,260. The new Mustang engine is one of nine new or upgraded engines or transmissions for 2011 model Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles.
"Ford is absolutely committed to delivering class-leading fuel efficiency with every new vehicle we introduce, and this investment in Cleveland provides further proof," said Bill Russo, director of manufacturing for Ford's powertrain operations.
On sale this spring, the 2011 Ford Mustang delivers 305 high-performance horses for V-6 coupe buyers. The all-aluminum dual-overhead cam (DOHC), 3.7-liter Duratec 24-valve V-6 engine delivers a projected 30 mpg on the highway with a six-speed automatic transmission and fun for drivers on nearly every road.
"Mustang is completely transformed with this new engine," said Derrick Kuzak, group vice president, Global Product Development. "Everything people love about the car is still there and now under the hood is a V-6 engine that uses premium technology to deliver the power, the feel, the fuel efficiency, even the sound of the best sports coupes in the world."
Also available for the 2011-model year are the Mustang GT – with an all-new 5.0-liter V-8 delivering 412 horsepower and projected unsurpassed highway mileage of 25 mpg – and a no-compromises Shelby GT500 powered by a 5.4-liter supercharged V-8 and 550 horsepower.
The new 3.7-liter V-6 is built at Ford's Cleveland Engine Plant 1. The 5.0-liter V-8 engine is built at Ford's Essex Engine Plant in Windsor, Ontario. The 5.4-liter supercharged V-8 is built at Ford's Romeo, Mich., Engine Plant.
Cleveland Engine Plant 1 Retooled
Cleveland Engine Plant No. 1's V-6 engine is expected to represent two-thirds of Mustang's volume this calendar year.
Ford's $155 million investment there includes $121 million in manufacturing investment at the plant and $34 million for launch and engineering. Sixty new jobs have been added to the plant to support the new engine.
Specifically, the $121 million for the manufacturing facility supports continued investment in developing and re-tooling the plant's flexible manufacturing systems in the assembly and component (cylinder block, head and crankshaft) areas.
"The Cleveland Engine Plant is not only building fuel-efficient engines for some of our most popular Ford products, it's becoming a hub for the future of Ford powertrains," Russo said. "This facility has the flexibility and the expertise to help us meet customer demands for fun, fuel-efficient vehicles, and it represents the future of advanced manufacturing in North America."
Ford's investment at Cleveland Engine Plant is supported by Ford's green partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy. This Ohio plant is one of 11 Ford facilities in the U.S. participating in the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing Incentives Program initiated by Congress and implemented by the Obama administration. The program is helping to develop advanced technology vehicles and strengthen American manufacturing across the country. This project is also supported by Ford's state and local government partners primarily through training funds.
The investment represents the latest in Ford's ongoing commitment to the Cleveland Engine Plant No. 1. Opened in 1951 as Ford's first engine plant in Ohio, the facility has produced more than 35 million engines.
In 2004, Ford invested $350 million into the plant for redesign and installation of an all-new assembly line as well as block, crankshaft and cylinder head machining lines. The plant also led the way in 2009 with the introduction of Ford's first EcoBoost engines, which use gasoline turbocharged direct-injection technology for up to 20 percent better fuel economy, 15 percent fewer CO2 emissions and superior driving performance versus larger displacement engines.
Nine New or Upgraded Powertrains This Year
Ford is introducing nine new or upgraded powertrains in North America for its 2011 model vehicles, representing $1.8 billion worth of investment in engineering and facilities. Among the nine powertrains are:
•6.2-liter V-8 gasoline engine for the F-Series Super Duty
•6.7-liter Power Stroke Diesel for the F-Series Super Duty
•6R140 heavy-duty TorqShift® automatic transmission for the F-Series Super Duty
•3.7-liter Ti-VCT V-6 engine for the Mustang
•5.0-liter Ti-VCT V-8 engine for the Mustang
•Six-speed automatic transmission for the Mustang
The 2011 Mustang is the most technically advanced model yet of America's favorite sports car. Both V-6 and V-8 models feature Twin Independent Variable Valve Timing (Ti-VCT), double overhead cams, four-valves per-cylinder and free-flowing exhaust systems. Both models are available with six-speed manual or an upgraded 6-speed automatic transmission.
With so much additional horsepower standard, the 2011 Mustang received enhancements to its chassis and suspension to maintain the outstanding driving behavior Mustang owners expect. The addition of new technologies and features, including segment-exclusive electric power assisted steering will mark a new era of driving dynamics for Mustang.
"We're focusing on every single detail of our engine and transmission lineup to speed class-leading fuel efficiency to our customers as quickly as possible, affordably and in high volumes," said Barb Samardzich, vice president, Powertrain Development.
The 2011 Mustang is a strong example of Ford's industry leading fuel economy gains. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, Ford's combined car and truck fuel economy has improved nearly 20 percent since 2004 – almost double the next closest competitor.
Additionally, Ford has lowered its tailpipe CO2 emissions more than any other automaker. Ford's fleet-wide average of 434 grams per mile is 37 grams lower than the 2007 total and 25 grams lower than 2008.

MagneGas Demonstrates Potential for Industrial Fuel Application With Successful Forklift Conversion Test
MagneGas Demonstrates Potential for Industrial Fuel Application With Successful Forklift Conversion Test
MagneGas(TM) Proven Much Cleaner than Propane in Live Test, Indicates Future Opportunity as Complement to Metal Working Market
MagneGas Corporation ("MagneGas" or the "Company") (OTC.BB:MNGA), a producer of a metal working fuel and natural gas alternative made from liquid waste, announced today that the emissions from MagneGas? are lower than that of propane in live industrial fuel use, indicating a second potential application for its fuel in the future.
The Company converted a standard propane forklift to MagneGas? and compared its emissions during normal operations against those measured while propane was in use. Across all primary metrics, MagneGas? proved to be markedly superior (please see below for a numerical comparison). Additionally encouraging was the ease of conversion -- the Company had only to replace the pressure tank, lines, regulator and gauges to comparably fuel the forklift; all other remaining engine components remained the same. The same MagneGas? used for the metal working market can be used for forklifts and other automotive applications, allowing industrial and manufacturing facilities to use MagneGas? for several different uses with significantly cleaner emissions.
"While we must first achieve fuel production economies of scale to actively pursue the industrial fuel application, we have achieved a watershed moment in demonstrating that MagneGas? burns demonstrably cleaner than propane -- a fuel already considered to be a 'cleaner' option," stated MagneGas President Richard Connelly. "This successful environmental impact analysis opens to us a market equal to or greater than the metal working industry. While metal working remains for now our primary pursuit, we have the proof necessary to actively develop our fuel as an alternative to propane across industrial fuel applications."
Emissions Comparison -- Propane vs. MagneGas?(1)
Hydrocarbons: Propane - 3,017 parts per million (PPM); MagneGas? - 3 PPM
Carbon Monoxide: Propane - 0.29%; MagneGas? - 0.01%
Oxygen: Propane - 12.1%; MagneGas? - 15.3%
Carbon Dioxide: Propane - 6.4%; MagneGas? - 3.8%
Oxides of Nitrogen: Propane - 511 PPM; MagneGas? - 46 PPM

Biofuel News - Waste Management (NYSE: WM) and Enerkem Announce Strategic Investment
Biofuel News - Waste Management (NYSE: WM) and Enerkem Announce Strategic Investment
HOUSTON and MONTREAL, Feb. 24 ( Investorideas.com Renewable Energy/Green Newswire) -- Waste Management, Inc. (NYSE: WM) and Enerkem Inc. today announced a strategic investment by Waste Management in Enerkem, as part of Enerkem's new financing round.
The closing of this new round of financing which generated CDN $53.8 million comes from Enerkem's existing institutional investors, Rho Ventures, Braemar Energy Ventures and BDR Capital as well as from new investors, Waste Management and Cycle Capital. The new funds raised will be used to support Enerkem's growth plan, including initiating the construction of its second waste-to-biofuels plant. Morgan Stanley acted as Enerkem's agent.
Enerkem's proprietary thermo-chemical technology helps convert waste materials into biofuels such as ethanol. Its technology is able to process diverse carbon-based feedstocks, including sorted municipal solid waste, construction and demolition wood, as well as agricultural and forest residues.
"We want to extract more value from the materials we manage than anyone else in our industry through new and emerging processing and conversion technologies," said Tim Cesarek, managing director of Organic Growth at Waste Management. "Combining Waste Management's industry leadership and expertise in the collection and management of a wide range of segmented waste streams with Enerkem's leading clean technology solutions, we are broadening our portfolio of conversion technologies in the waste-to-biofuels market which is key to developing new, higher value added end markets for materials."
"This financing round validates Enerkem's business and advances our path towards leadership in the waste and advanced fuels markets," said Vincent Chornet, President and Chief Executive Officer of Enerkem. "The financial and strategic support of these world-class investors, bringing together our existing investors with Waste Management and Cycle Capital, will accelerate the transformation of the waste-to-biofuels industry that Enerkem is marshalling."
In December 2009, Enerkem was awarded US$50 million in funding by the U.S. Department of Energy for development of its planned Mississippi plant. Its commercial-scale demonstration facility in Westbury, Canada, which was completed in 2009, reached 1,000 hours of operation. The new funds raised will be used to support Enerkem's growth plan, including construction of its second plant, in partnership with the City of Edmonton and Alberta Innovates.
The investment in Enerkem complements Waste Management's comprehensive waste services in the areas of recycling, landfill, waste-to-energy and landfill gas-to-energy. This investment will also help move Waste Management toward meeting three of its sustainability goals: doubling its renewable energy production and tripling the amount of recyclables processed by 2020, and investing in emerging technologies for managing waste.

Bloom Energy Debuts Advanced Fuel Cell to Provide Clean,Reliable, and Affordable Power 24/7
Bloom Energy Debuts Advanced Fuel Cell to Provide Clean,Reliable, and Affordable Power 24/7
Bloom Energy Server provides continuous onsite electricity from wide range of
renewable or traditional fuel sources
Industry-leading customers include Bank of America, Coca-Cola,
Cox Enterprises, eBay, Google, FedEx, Staples, and Walmart
Sunnyvale, CA - February 24, 2010— ( Investorideas.com Renewable Energy Newswire ) Bloom Energy Corporation, a Silicon Valley-based company committed to changing the way people generate and consume energy, announced
today the availability of the Bloom Energy Server™, a patented solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC)
technology that provides a cleaner, more reliable, and more affordable alternative to both today’s
electric grid as well as traditional renewable energy sources. The Bloom Energy Server provides
distributed power generation, allowing customers to efficiently create their own electricity onsite.
The company introduced its groundbreaking technology at an event hosted today at eBay Inc.
headquarters along with California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, General Colin Powell, and
several of its early customers.
Built using abundant and affordable materials, Bloom’s fuel cell technology is fundamentally
different from the legacy “hydrogen” fuel cells most people are familiar with. The Bloom Energy
Server is distinct in four primary ways: it uses lower cost materials, provides unmatched efficiency
in converting fuel to electricity, has the ability to run on a wide range of renewable or traditional
fuels, and is more easily deployed and maintained.
Unlike traditional renewable energy technologies, like solar and wind, which are intermittent,
Bloom’s technology can provide renewable power 24/7.
Each Bloom Energy Server provides 100 kilowatts (kW) of power in roughly the footprint of a
parking space. Each system generates enough power to meet the needs of approximately 100
average U.S. homes or a small office building. For more power, customers simply deploy multiple
Energy Servers side by side. The modular architecture allows customers to start small and “pay
as they grow”.
Bloom’s customers have deployed the solution to lower and/or fix their energy costs, while
significantly cutting their carbon footprint and enhancing their energy security by reducing their
dependence on the grid. Customers who purchase Bloom’s systems can expect a 3-5 year
payback on their capital investment from the energy cost savings. Depending on whether they are
using a fossil or renewable fuel, they can also achieve a 40-100% reduction in their carbon
footprint as compared with the U.S. grid. Customers announced today include Bank of America
(NYSE: BAC); The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE: KO); Cox Enterprises; eBay (Nasdaq: EBAY);
FedEx Express, an operating company of FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX); Google (Nasdaq: GOOG);
Staples (Nasdaq: SPLS); and Walmart (NYSE: WMT).
Since the first commercial customer installation in July 2008, Bloom’s Energy Servers have
collectively produced more than 11 million kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity, with CO2 reductions
estimated at 14 million pounds – the equivalent of powering approximately 1,000 American
homes for a year and planting one million trees.
“Bloom Energy is dedicated to making clean, reliable energy affordable for everyone in the world,”
said Dr. KR Sridhar, principal co-founder and CEO of Bloom Energy. “We believe that we can
have the same kind of impact on energy that the mobile phone had on communications. Just as
cell phones circumvented landlines to proliferate telephony, Bloom Energy will enable the
adoption of distributed power as a smarter, localized energy source. Our customers are the
cornerstone of that vision and we are thrilled to be working with industry leading companies to
lower their energy costs, reduce their carbon footprint, improve their energy security, and
showcase their commitment to a better future.“
Powder to Power – How It Works
Founded in 2001, Bloom Energy can trace its roots to the NASA Mars space program. For NASA,
Sridhar and his team were charged with building technology to help sustain life on Mars using
solar energy and water to produce air to breath and fuel for transportation. They soon realized
that their technology could have an even greater impact here on Earth and began work on what
would become the Bloom Energy Server.
The Bloom Energy Server converts air and nearly any fuel source – ranging from natural gas to a
wide range of biogases – into electricity via a clean electrochemical process, rather than dirty
combustion. Even running on a fossil fuel, the systems are approximately 67% cleaner than a
typical coal-fired power plant. When powered by a renewable fuel, they can be 100% cleaner.
Each Energy Server consists of thousands of Bloom's fuel cells – flat, solid ceramic squares
made from a common sand-like "powder."
“Today we are witnessing something special," said John Doerr, partner at Kleiner Perkins
Caufield & Byers and Bloom Energy board member. "This is new kind of product announcement.
It comes long after a product has shipped and it comes directly from marquis customers. For
years, there have been promises of new energy solutions that are clean, distributed, affordable,
and reliable; today we learn that Bloom, formerly in stealth, has actually delivered. Americans
want clean, affordable, energy, 24x7 -- and all the jobs that go with it. Bloom's boxes are a
breakthrough, serving energy, serving demanding customers, and serving our country."
Bloom Energy’s management team possesses expertise across a number of relevant industries,
including aerospace, high volume manufacturing, semiconductors, automotive, naval nuclear, and
Silicon Valley startups. In addition to CEO Sridhar, the company’s board members include John
Doerr, partner, Kleiner Perkins Caulfield & Byers; General Colin Powell, former U.S. Secretary of
State; Scott Sandell, general partner, New Enterprise Associates (NEA); T.J. Rodgers, chairman,
SunPower; and Eddy Zervigon, managing director, Morgan Stanley.
Bloom Energy’s investors include Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, representing the firm’s first
clean tech investment, as well as Morgan Stanley, NEA, and Northgate Capital.
About Bloom Energy
Bloom Energy is a provider of breakthrough solid oxide fuel cell technology that generates clean,
highly-efficient power onsite from virtually any fuel source. Bloom Energy’s mission is to make
clean, reliable energy affordable for everyone in the world. The Bloom Energy Server is currently
producing power for several Fortune 500 companies. The company is headquartered in
Sunnyvale, CA. For more information, visit BloomEnergy.com.

IESI Reports Recent Environmental Achievements
IESI Reports Recent Environmental Achievements
Company invests in many key environmental advances in 2009
FORT WORTH, Texas, Feb. 22 -- IESI-BFC Ltd. (NYSE, TSX: BIN) (IESI-BFC), a leader in the U.S. solid waste industry, makes it a top priority to protect and enhance the environment. In 2009, the company invested $16 million in programs designed to improve the environment in its communities. These programs include wetland preservation at landfills, expansion of waste-to-energy programs, and construction of green LEED certified facilities.
"Our company made tremendous advances in our commitment to the environment over the past year," said Mickey Flood, President and Chief Executive Officer of IESI Corporation (IESI). "We don't just talk about improving the environment. We act, and the results are tremendous. This is part of our commitment to our customers and our communities of achieving our goal of a greener environment."
IESI is proud to announce the results of its 2009 environmental programs. The marquis environmental accomplishment for IESI in 2009 was the construction and opening of what will be the first LEED Certified privately-funded single-stream material recovery facility (MRF) in the United States upon final certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. After only five months in operation, the IESI McKinney MRF processed more than 8,500 tons of material--more than tripling the output from the same timeframe in their previous facility. The new McKinney MRF is on target to achieve Gold LEED Certification.
"LEED certification is not an easy task to achieve, especially for a manufacturing facility," said Shawn Eiras, IESI McKinney district manager. "This first-of-its-kind facility in the country allows us to process material more efficiently, reduces the amount of contamination being diverted from the landfill, creates a pleasant working environment for our employees, and gives us a wonderful educational resource for our community."
The new 28,000 square-foot McKinney MRF contains numerous sustainable features including certified wood, recycled steel, low-flow water fixtures, and energy efficient machinery. Because the facility utilizes the single-stream process, customers can combine paper, glass, metals, cardboard and plastics all in one large container.
To build on IESI's expertise in constructing and maintaining LEED certified facilities, the company is currently working on a proposal in Austin, Texas to build a LEED certified recycling facility to efficiently service this thriving city.
"Austin is a progressive city and a leader in environmental conservation and innovation," said Flood. "Our McKinney MRF is able to take in and process recyclables from all across Texas, including Austin during the potential construction of a new state-of-the-art LEED certified MRF in that city. The citizens of Austin can be assured their recycling can be handled in an environmentally friendly manner in a LEED certified facility--a service only IESI can offer."
IESI's McKinney MRF is only one of many of the company's recent enhancements to its sustainable initiatives. In September 2009, IESI obtained LEED Gold certification for its Seneca Meadows Environmental Education Center in Seneca Falls, New York. This facility serves as an educational resource for children and adults by providing nature-based programming. The education center is adjacent to a thousand-acre wetlands complex acting as an outdoor recreational area, complete with walking trails, boardwalks and wildlife overlook stations.
Also in New York, IESI operates a waste-to-energy (WTE) facility, where IESI captures methane gas, a landfill byproduct, and turns it into a sustainable energy source to generate electricity. This plant currently produces 18 megawatts of electricity – enough energy to power approximately 18,000 homes. Combined with other IESI WTE facilities, the company generates enough electrical power for approximately 21,000 homes.
IESI's sustainable efforts are also reflected in the amount of material it diverts from landfills across the country. In 2009, IESI diverted more than 500,000 tons of material from landfills, including more than 300,000 tons of paper. This is enough paper to save more than 5.2 million trees. In addition, IESI's Seneca Meadows Tire Recycling center processed more than 1.5 million automotive tires for re-use. All of these materials were sent to manufacturers for re-use resulting in the extension of the life of our landfills.
To educate communities about the importance of recycling and taking care of our environment, IESI also offers many learning opportunities for local schools and community organizations. At numerous IESI community locations, activities include in-school programs, school field day programs, school literature distribution, student and adult site tours, public open houses, and guest lectures.
IESI communities also recognize the company's commitment to the environment. Recently, IESI received the Large Business of the Year Award from the Pflugerville, Texas Chamber of Commerce. Additionally, IESI has been awarded "Business of the Year" honors in McKinney, Texas; Iowa Park, Texas; Frisco, Texas; The Colony, Texas; and Seneca Meadows, New York. IESI has also received numerous awards and recognitions by environmental organizations including Keep Texas Beautiful and Keep America Beautiful.
"We feel it is extremely important to be active in our communities," said Flood. "IESI is constantly involved in city-wide trash clean-up programs. Our employees are also active on environmental boards and commissions. We not only work in our communities, we live in our communities. And we want to do our part to improve our communities."
About IESI Corporation
IESI is a full service solid waste management company founded in Justin, Texas in 1995 with just two trucks, two drivers and one and a half routes. IESI now employs more than 2,700 associates and operates a fleet of more than 1,200 routed vehicles. IESI is a subsidiary of IESI-BFC Ltd., one of North America's largest full-service waste management companies, providing non-hazardous solid waste collection and landfill disposal services for commercial, industrial, municipal and residential customers in five provinces in Canada, and ten states and the District of Columbia in the U.S. To find out more about IESI-BFC Ltd., visit our website at www.iesi-bfc.com.

GE (NYSE: GE) and Juice Technologies Co-Developing Electric Vehicle Charging Devices that Will Help Consumers Save
GE and Juice Technologies Co-Developing Electric Vehicle Charging Devices that Will Help Consumers Save
Chargers will Communicate with Power Grid to Determine Best Times to Charge, Helping Plug-in Electric Vehicles Enter the Mainstream
COLUMBUS, Ohio----GE (NYSE: GE) and Juice Technologies announced a joint development agreement to create intelligent plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) charging devices for U.S. and global markets. The chargers integrate GE’s smart meters with Juice Technology’s Plug Smart™ engine to help consumers charge their cars during low-demand, lower cost time periods.
“Plug-in electric vehicles will become the new transportation reality”
.Smart chargers will hasten acceptance of plug-in cars by making them more attractive to both consumers and utilities. Consumers will benefit by receiving the lowest-possible charging rates for their cars. Utilities will be able to better control the demand for electricity and take on the added load of electric vehicles without over taxing their grids. Utilities will also realize greater value from their capital equipment during overnight and other low-demand times, when it is substantially less utilized.
“Our smart charging system and advanced technology have been in development over the past two years,” said Rich Housh, CEO of Juice Technologies. “We’ve collaborated with utilities and with Ohio State University’s Center for Automotive Research to develop the right solution for both utilities and consumers. Our collaboration with GE gives us the expertise we need to bring our solutions to market.”
Electric vehicles will begin shipping in volume across the United States in 2010. Charging stations will be needed to meet the growing consumer demand.
“Plug-in electric vehicles will become the new transportation reality,” said Bob Gilligan, vice president—transmission and distribution for GE Energy Services. “These chargers will help consumers use electric cars as cost-effectively as possible, speeding their adoption—lowering our carbon footprint and dependence on foreign oil. Smart chargers will make it easier and more cost effective to power clean, efficient cars with electricity made from clean, domestic sources.”
GE will offer a comprehensive line of charging products that combine GE’s smart meter technology and communication capabilities with Juice Technologies’ patent-pending intelligent charging technology. A multi-generational PEV product architecture will meet or exceed requirements set forth by utilities nationwide.
Initial chargers will be available in the United States in the second quarter of 2010, with full-scale production ramping up throughout the year. Global availability will follow.

Research and Markets: China PV Market Development
Research and Markets: China PV Market Development - Includes Profiles of Major Players, Their Strategies, Evaluating Opportunities and Much More...
DUBLIN---Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/85a37e/china_pv_market_de) has announced the addition of the "China PV Market Development" report to their offering.
One constant in what many have called the miracle of China's enormous economic growth over the past 30 years has been a reliance on export economies. The development of the PV industry has been no exception. Since the industry's modest beginnings in 2002, domestic cell and module manufacturers have exported more than 95 percent of their products to overseas markets relying on the favorable energy policies of European governments to drive demand for Chinese production. As China has rapidly vaulted to the top of global solar cell manufacturing capacity, it has done so largely due to unprecedented demand from countries like Germany, Spain, Italy, and the United States, among others. As 2008 drew to a close and the realities of one of worst global economic crises since the Great Depression began to crystallize, domestic Chinese manufacturers in many industries scaled back production, laid off workers, and some even stopped operations completely. It was in this context that the Chinese government, recognizing the need to support this critical growth industry with domestic demand, began to seriously consider national solar incentives. With many other markets stalling due to a lack of financing and uncertain policy regimes, China will likely be one of the key growth markets for the solar sector in both the near- and long-term. Understanding the structure of the solar market in China and how it will grow will be key to understanding global demand trends as well as opportunities for investment and partnerships in this emerging market.
This report analyzes how the Chinese domestic PV market will develop, profiles major players and their strategies, and evaluates opportunities throughout the value chain that market development presents. The findings are based on more than 20 interviews and site visits around China with major solar manufacturers and installation companies, relevant government regulatory bodies, as well as wind industry representatives and local utility analysts.
In 2007 China announced goals to install 300 MW of PV by 2012 and 1.8 GW by 2020. Given recent policy developments and project announcements, China will be well on its way to exploding past those goals and in fact is expected to announce new targets later this year. Depending on the timing of these announcements and the success of several pilot projects, the Chinese market has very real potential to ramp well beyond 1 GW in 2011.
Beyond presenting a critical analysis of current Chinese solar policy and market development, the goal of this report is to provide a basic understanding of both Chinese power sector dynamics and the historical development of the domestic wind industry. In turn, an appreciation of these dynamics is intended to provide critical context to the detailed analysis of the solar sector and its potential going forward.
In this report:
•Annual installed capacity projections for 2009 2012 based upon detailed project tracking and interviews with domestic project developers. Multiple market demand scenarios are presented.
•Profiles of 18 different solar companies, electricity generation companies, and renewable energy-related government agencies.
•Extensive project return analysis for different locations under various incentive schemes (both approved and proposed programs), sensitized for factors such as interest rates, feed-in tariff rates, system price, and project leverage ratio.
•Detailed cost breakdown projections for domestic projects (rooftop and ground mount).
•Analysis of business opportunities along the value chain for both Chinese and foreign companies to take advantage of current and proposed subsidy programs.
•In-depth guide to China's overarching renewable energy policy and to each of the announced solar subsidy programs, including detailed descriptions of relevant government program administrators, as well as project applications, requirements, and deadlines.
•Comprehensive overview of China's electricity sector; both the major players and their plans for building out solar capacity as well as the legislative and economic drivers for the expansion of solar power in China.
•A detailed guide to the development of the wind industry in China, which over the past six years has grown to become the fourth largest end-market for wind capacity, and will likely become the number two global market in 2010. The development process for the Chinese solar industry will likely be very similar to the development of the domestic wind market, and so an understanding of the domestic wind sector is crucial to understanding when and how the solar market will grow.
