China Emerges as Early-stage Investor, Not Just Manufacturer, of Cleantech

The U.S. is extraordinarily good at nurturing entrepreneurship and invention, but not as good at building industries around those inventions. Case in point: While America leads in venture capital investments in clean energy, it has ceded leadership in manufacturing and deployment to European and Asian countries.

The Greening of China

According to China's deputy director of the National Energy Administration, Qian Zhimin, Chinese cities, counties and towns will be increasingly green in the next few years. As reported in China Daily, Qian estimated that by 2015, the country could see as many as 100 cities, 200 counties and 10,000 towns relying on alternative sources of energy like renewables.

?Against the backdrop of combating climate change and pursuing development in a way that saves energy and avoids harming the environment, the notion of a low-carbon town is becoming prevalent, and promising exploration have been conducted by a multitude of?cities,? Qian said. ?Priorities should be placed on the development of public and rail transit and the construction of smart grids. We should also make cities more energy efficient?

China's first model town, Tianjin Yujiapu financial district was nominated as the first low-carbon model town project in the Asia-Pacific region at a forum that discussed low carbon model towns. The initial planning for the city was conducted by international design teams from Manhattan, Chicago, London, and Japan.

?In recent years, test projects have begun for regions that will emit relatively little carbon and have been preliminarily tried out in five provinces and eight cities, including Tianjin,? Qian said.

Li Bo, the president of the Tianjin Innovative Finance Investment Ltd., noted that the buildings in the city are being constructed in accordance to green standards. ?Last year, we signed cooperative agreements with more than 60 low-carbon enterprises from home and abroad,? Li said. At present, 260 enterprises have invested in the Yujiapu financial district, with a total capital registered for the project at around 60 billion yuan, or $9.27 billion.

Xinhua reports that China?s minister of industry and information technology, Miao Xu, said that the government has plans to green the country?s industrialization strategy. The minister indicated that China will promote energy efficiency and emissions reductions. These measures are significant given the fact that as of 2011, Chinese energy consumption in industrial production accounts for 70 percent of the nation?s total energy consumption.

These efforts are consistent with China?s five-year plan which mandates movement away from fossil fuels, and lowering energy consumption per unit of gross domestic product by 16 percent.

SolarWorld Sees Huge Growth in U.S.

http://www.solarfeeds.com/ad/solarworld.jpg

Germany-based SolarWorld AG, a manufacturer of silicon photovoltaics with production facilities in Germany and the U.S., on June 30, sold its interest in a joint-venture production facility in South Korea. The company said it sold its interest to focus on meeting the demand of the U.S. solar market and in western markets in general.

?By this month, company sales in the U.S. market have matched total annual sales of 2010?and they are on track to more than triple last year?s results,? the company said in a press release. The company also is expecting growth in European markets because of legislation funding renewable energy in Germany and other European countries.

?The U.S. market is steadily increasing. Typically it?s grown 30 percent to 50 percent more each year,? said SolarWorld spokesperson Ben Santarris. The growth is making it a more significant global market, he said.

The growth in SolarWorld?s U.S. sales is impressive, considering that the busy season is just beginning.

?The selling season toward solar is weighted toward the second half of the year,? Santarris said. ?The first quarter is generally the slowest.? That is why there will likely be even more sales in the second half of 2011 for the company.

To meet demand in the U.S. and other Western markets, the company is ramping up production despite the sale of its stake in the South Korean facility. It is expected to reach 1 gigawatt of annual capacity by the end of 2011.

?Production is still going up,? Santarris said. ?We have factories and campuses of factories that were still fulfilling our needs. Plus we have new factories [producing] in excess of what we lost with the portion of production we took away from the joint venture in South Korea.?

Looking forward, the company may have to expand to meet demand, Santarris said. ?We don?t have specific plans. It is our pattern to look for various offices for expansion, very steadily announcing new factories or expansions,? he said. There are no immediate plans for expansion that he?s aware of.

But the company does have some opportunities for expansion on its current campuses like at its 97-acre Hillsboro, Ore., headquarters.

?We occupy about half of our site, We definitely have room to grow. We have a master plan of options, none of which we have activated. And of course there are other options,? Santarris said.

The Impact of Technology on Wind Farm Development

Over the past 10 to 15 years, enhancements in technology and computing power have truly revolutionized the wind development business. From prospecting the best sites to constructing wind farms, from mapping cadastral data to estimating the wind resource at specific proposed turbine locations, technology has improved our ability to efficiently select, develop, and ultimately construct utility-scale wind farms.
