Biomass News - PSCW Approves Application for Largest Biomass Plant in Midwest
PSCW Approves Application for Largest Biomass Plant in Midwest
ASHLAND, Wis.----The Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSCW) has unanimously approved Xcel Energy’s (NYSE: XEL) application to install biomass gasification technology at its Bay Front Power Plant in Ashland, Wis. When completed, the project will convert the plant’s remaining coal-fired unit to biomass gasification technology, allowing it to use 100 percent biomass in all three boilers and making it the largest biomass plant in the Midwest. Currently, two of the three operating units at Bay Front use biomass as their primary fuel to generate electricity.
The project, estimated at $58.1 million, will require additional biomass receiving and handling facilities at the plant, an external gasifier, minor modifications to the plant’s remaining coal-fired boiler and an enhanced air quality control system. The total generation output of the plant is not expected to change significantly as a result of the project.
“We appreciate the PSCW’s fair and thorough review of the application and believe that their decision recognizes the benefits of this project to provide environmentally-responsible, cost-effective energy to our customers and communities,” said Mike Swenson, president and CEO, Northern States Power Company-Wisconsin, an Xcel Energy. “The Bay Front project demonstrates our continuing commitment to the environment and a clean energy future. We’re helping our customers and communities practice sustainability while increasing local economic development.”
Through its purchases of wood residues and related services, the Bay Front Power Plant has a $20 million annual economic impact on a six-county region around Ashland. That economic impact will increase as the plant purchases more wood residues from area contractors.
The Bay Front Power Plant was originally constructed and began operation in 1916. In 1960, it operated five boilers and six turbines. Since then, two of the boilers, and three of the turbines, have been retired. The three remaining boilers feed into a combined steam header system that can support three turbine-generator sets.
In 2008, Xcel Energy installed NOx (nitrogen oxides) emission control equipment on the two boilers that primarily burn wood, allowing both to continue to operate into the foreseeable future. When evaluating various alternatives for the remaining boiler, which primarily burns coal, it was determined that expanding Bay Front as a biomass resource was preferred over incurring significant increases in coal costs, and also environmental compliance costs relating to the Clean Air Interstate Rule and regulations on mercury emissions.
In addition to reducing carbon dioxide emissions by switching from coal to biomass in the remaining unit, the project will drastically reduce other air emissions, including nitrogen oxides by more than 60 percent and sulfur dioxides and particulate matter by more than 80 percent.
The primary source of biomass at Bay Front is expected to be the lower quality, unused materials that are currently left in area forests following traditional harvests, such as treetops, logging slash, damaged trees, underutilized species, and the cull and mortality classed trees. Initial investigations conducted by Xcel Energy show more than ample supplies of this lower quality biomass within the area.
“We will require our contractors to use the sustainable harvesting guidelines as developed by the Wisconsin Council on Forestry and implemented by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR),” Swenson said. “We will also continue to work closely with the WDNR and other local organizations to ensure the highest environmental standards are followed now and in the future when harvesting biomass in the region.”
Engineering, design and construction work is expected to begin in 2010 and the unit could be operational in late 2012.
Xcel Energy (NYSE: XEL) is a major U.S. electricity and natural gas company with regulated operations in 8 Western and Midwestern states. Xcel Energy provides a comprehensive portfolio of energy-related products and services to 3.4 million electricity customers and 1.9 million natural gas customers through its regulated operating companies.

EU States Failing to Support Critical Renewable Energy Investment, According to New Report by London Research International
EU States Failing to Support Critical Renewable Energy Investment, According to New Report by London Research International
LONDON- According to a new report published by London Research International (LRI) "The European Renewable Electricity Sector 2009/10: A Country Comparison of Risks and Opportunities", many EU countries are failing to offer adequate financial and institutional support for renewable electricity generation. Consequently, they are struggling to attract sufficient investment to meet their ambitious EU-mandated 2020 renewable energy (RE) targets. This is despite a considerable rise in public support in the EU for increased RE deployment and a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, between 2006 and 2008.
In the UK, planning delays and local opposition are undermining government incentives offered to RE developers. The contribution of RE to final energy consumption in the UK was just 1.5% in 2006 (up from 1.3% in 2005) which is well below the EU 2020 target of 15%. The UK has a long way to go as confirmed by the recent report from the Committee on Climate Change, led by Lord Turner. Many other EU countries require similarly significant increases in RE production.
Key findings include:
•Spanish and German solar power markets experienced rapid growth in the last year. •The greatest opportunities for the expansion of renewable electricity generation remain in Greece, Spain, Portugal and Germany. •The lowest risks to renewable electricity investment are in Austria, Denmark and Germany, followed by the Czech Republic, Finland and Spain. •Risks are higher in the new EU member states of Romania and Slovakia. •Belgium, the UK and Italy all require additional investment in power generation, but planning risks and the lack of an attractive incentive scheme are discouraging this. •Despite having excellent resources for renewable electricity generation, grid access and planning permission risks in Greece and Italy are relatively high and thus growth is slower than in other southern European states such as Spain. •Apart from large hydro, biomass and onshore wind are the most established technologies for renewable electricity generation. •Advanced forms of biogas, such as anaerobic digestion (AD), hold the potential to follow biomass as an established generation technology across the EU. •As advances in solar power technology continue, solar power generation is expected to increase across the EU.

Through its newly launched renewable energy portal, www.redatabase.com, LRI aims to support increased deployment of renewable energy by providing reliable, accurate and quality renewable energy information. LRI clients include major international companies, research institutions and government offices.
For The European Renewable Electricity Sector 2009/10: A Country Comparison of Risks and Opportunities, London Research International (LRI) used a series of indices to provide a detailed rating of all of the key areas related to investing in the renewable electricity sectors of a sample of 20 EU member states. The research is unique in its use of multiple measures to develop five indices, which accurately and numerically evaluate the risks and opportunities of each member state’s renewable electricity sector. A sixth non-numeric index provides an analysis of the emerging and established technologies that are currently adequately supported through government incentives or have the potential for growth. The opportunity indices measure government incentives and power market demand and also review established/emerging technologies in the sector. The risk indices measure political will, grid connection problems and planning permission challenges. An additional comparison of the year-on-year changes in opportunities and risk indices is included in the report.
The European Renewable Electricity Sector 2009/10: A Country Comparison of Risks and Opportunities is the second in this series. The publication is updated on an annual basis in order to provide a benchmark against which to measure the progress of the EU member states in achieving their commitments to increase the share of renewable electricity to their total consumption. It is aimed at investors, government and policymakers, opinion leaders, educational institutions and environmental groups. Specifically, the research can be used as a guide by institutional investors to identify investment opportunities and assess the level of risk and attractiveness associated in this sector across the EU.

GE Announces Latest Advancements to Leading Gas Turbine
GE Announces Latest Advancements to Leading Gas Turbine
New Advanced Gas Turbine delivers higher performance, more flexibility and fewer emissions, with estimated fuel savings of $2 million per year
GREENVILLE, S.C- Using next generation gas turbine technology to increase output and efficiency, GE Energy today introduced its upgraded Frame 7FA gas turbine to meet growing performance requirements for power plant operators. The upgraded turbine is designed to help power plant operators reduce their total cost of ownership and environmental impact by allowing them to use less fuel to generate power.
The continuing evolution of GE’s gas turbine technology supports a growing industry trend toward the use of natural gas. A recent report by the Colorado School of Mines indicated that following recent discoveries, the United States now has 1,800 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, the equivalent of 320 billion barrels of oil—more than Saudi Arabia’s 264 billion barrels. That available supply, coupled with the current low cost and the fact that natural gas emits less carbon than other fossil fuels, has spurred many power generators to consider switching from other fuels to gas.
A typical power plant operating two new 7FA gas turbines with a single steam turbine in combined cycle configuration would achieve a fuel cost savings of more than $2.1 million per year at a natural gas price of $6 per MMBtu when compared to a similar plant with an earlier version of the 7FA for equivalent net plant output. This updated plant would also avoid the emission of more than 19,000 metric tons of CO2 per year compared to the earlier version, an improvement equivalent to the CO2 emissions of approximately 3,800 cars on U.S. roads.
“Investing in the needs of tomorrow with R&D and technology is at the foundation of GE and helps us to maintain a competitive advantage in the power generation arena,” said Steve Bolze, president of GE Energy’s Power & Water business. “Today’s announcement demonstrates our ongoing commitment to GE’s leadership in advanced gas turbine technology that helps deliver power more efficiently and flexibly to our customers without compromising their high standards for operational excellence.”
“Since its introduction, our F technology has consistently set industry standards for reliability and efficiency,” said Rick Stanley, vice president of engineering for GE Energy. “The 7FA upgrade underscores our commitment to continue refining the technology to meet the evolving needs of today’s customers.”
“GE is focused on delivering products and services that help our customers save significant operating costs while simultaneously slashing emissions and fuel consumption. We have amassed technological advances from across our expansive portfolio of power generating and aviation turbines and delivered them in this upgraded 7FA turbine,” said John Reinker, general manager of gas turbine and combined cycle products for GE Energy. “Of the 1,000 plus GE F-technology gas turbines shipped worldwide, more than 70% are 7FA units—and the advances now available for the 7FA will ensure that it continues to be the industry's workhorse advanced technology turbine.”
Many companies have already evaluated the new gas turbine technology. Some of the first new 7FA turbines are planned for the proposed Oakley Generating Station in Oakley, Calif. The plant, which is projected to generate 586 megawatts of power, is being developed by Radback Energy, Inc., and is expected to be transferred to Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) after it enters commercial operation.
The new turbine is a part of GE’s ecomagination portfolio, due to the increase in net plant efficiency and higher output delivered by this machine compared to all earlier 7FA models, which should result in less fuel consumption and lower emissions on a megawatt per hour basis than delivered by previous 7FA models.
Key regions for the upgraded, 60-hertz 7FA will include North America, Latin America, Saudi Arabia, Japan, Taiwan and South Korea. The upgraded 7FA will begin shipping in early 2012 and will be manufactured at GE Energy’s gas turbine facility in Greenville, S.C.
GE ecomagination certification
The ecomagination Product Review (EPR) process provides a third-party verification of claims, quantifying operating and environmental performance benefits that accrue to GE’s customers by using ecomagination products relative to baselines such as competitors' best products, the installed base of products and regulatory standards. These ecomagination claims can be found in GE's printed materials and advertisements and on the Web at www.ge.com/ecomagination. Ecomagination products are re-certified regularly to help ensure that claims remain accurate.

Solar stocks news -CENTROSOLAR Group AG
CENTROSOLAR Group AG: Best quarterly result in history of company – CENTROSOLAR strategy pays off
Munich, October 19, 2009. CENTROSOLAR Group AG was able to report the best result in the history of the company for the third quarter of the current financial year. After one-off losses following the financial crisis in the first half, the company can now demonstrate in the second half that its long-term financial strategy of concentrating on downstream segments without long-term upstream price commitments is paying off.
The operating result for the quarter before interest and taxes (EBIT) amounted to EUR 7.4 million. This represents an increase of 45% on the previous record quarter Q3/2008, which had been dominated by booming business in Spain. The EBIT margin showed an impressive improvement to 9.0% of revenue, compared with 5.6% in the prior-year quarter. The EBITDA operating result for the past three months, which excludes depreciation and amortisation, likewise climbed to a record level of EUR 8.7 million (EUR 1.0 million up on the prior-year quarter). The EBITDA margin rose to 10.7% of revenue. The negative non-recurring effects from the first half were thus made good within the space of just one quarter. The full-year objective of posting a positive EBITDA over the twelve-month period was consequently already achieved after nine months. Decisive business focus brings rising profits The exceptionally positive result largely serves to confirm the two core tenets of the corporate strategy: focusing on the one hand on high-margin components, and on the other on integrated systems for roofs. Profitability is further boosted by the strategic decision to avoid low-margin, high-volume business. In recent years, CENTROSOLAR Group AG has put together a comprehensive range of services and products for fitters and wholesalers and developed a corresponding sales structure throughout Western Europe, with local roots at each location. The development of this area-wide micro network very early on now serves as a natural barrier to other competitors entering the market and thus protects its profit margins.
Whereas competition for large open-site systems focuses above all on price, the priorities for local fitters of roof systems are good technical service and a product of reliable quality. The preliminary products required in the manufacturing of solar modules are mostly mass-produced articles; as an exclusively downstream operator not bound to any particular degree by long-term cell supply agreements, CENTROSOLAR can currently command attractive purchasing terms throughout the industry and is even a beneficiary of the price war for solar cells. Rising sales thanks to early international expansionCENTROSOLAR Group AG has further expanded its sales network in the current quarter, bringing record unit sales as well as the positive result.
Despite staying out of the market for open-site projects, sales of solar modules and systems were increased by around 27% compared with the prior-year quarter, and by 59% compared with Q2. Revenue of EUR 81.5 million was 35% up on the preceding quarter (EUR 60.4 million), though around 10% down on the previous year (EUR 91.0 million) due to the marked reduction in prices since last October. The export ratio for the first 9 months of the financial year was 52%. Above-average growth rates were achieved in particular in the French, Benelux and US markets. Ambitious full-year forecast takes on firmer contoursCENTROSOLAR's entire production output of glass and modules is already virtually sold out for the current financial year. For quality and precautionary reasons, however, CENTROSOLAR will not be buying in modules for its distribution business and will stay out of the high-volume end of the market. Consolidated revenue of EUR 280 to 290 million is therefore forecast for the year as a whole.
This nominally represents a fall on the prior-year figure (EUR 333 million), though the sales volume for solar modules will rise considerably (from approx. 70 MWp in the previous year to approx. 85 MWp in the current year). The profit margin per watt has nevertheless risen, with the result that the fourth quarter is once again likely to deliver a highly positive result. The year is expected to end with an operating result (EBITDA) of EUR 6 to 8 million. Underlying situation remains goodWith its highly automated solar module production plant in Wismar, the ingenious mounting systems for solar installations made in Cologne and the market's leading anti-reflective solar glass produced in Fürth, CENTROSOLAR will remain one of Europe's cost leaders in the coming year. General expectations of a further fall in solar cell prices will likewise be to CENTROSOLAR's benefit, because unlike most of its competitors the company does not have its hands tied by long-term price commitments. The preferential subsidies available for roof systems and roof integration in France, but also Germany and Italy, give CENTROSOLAR a further boost as a specialist in roofs. Similar increases in market share to those achieved in France, where CENTROSOLAR is already the leading supplier of building-integrated solutions, can now likewise be expected in the other main sales markets. Profitable growth is consequently on the card for 2010 and the years beyond.
Further information about the issuer CENTROSOLAR Group AG (ISIN DE0005148506) is among Europe's leading suppliers of photovoltaic (PV) systems for roofs and related components, with currently more than 1,000 employees and revenue of around EUR 333 million in 2008.
It generates more than half its revenue internationally. The company has its own sales offices in Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Switzerland and the USA. For further information, visit: www.centrosolar.com
