Donald Sadoway: The missing link to renewable energy

Donald Sadoway: The missing link to renewable energy



公開日: 2012/03/26
http://www.ted.com What's the key to using alternative energy, like solar and wind? Storage -- so we can have power on tap even when the sun's not out and the wind's not blowing. In this accessible, inspiring talk, Donald Sadoway takes to the blackboard to show us the future of large-scale batteries that store renewable energy. As he says: "We need to think about the problem differently. We need to think big. We need to think cheap."

TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. Featured speakers have included Al Gore on climate change, Philippe Starck on design, Jill Bolte Taylor on observing her own stroke, Nicholas Negroponte on One Laptop per Child, Jane Goodall on chimpanzees, Bill Gates on malaria and mosquitoes, Pattie Maes on the "Sixth Sense" wearable tech, and "Lost" producer JJ Abrams on the allure of mystery. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, and TEDTalks cover these topics as well as science, business, development and the arts. Closed captions and translated subtitles in a variety of languages are now available on TED.com, at http://www.ted.com/translate

Wind Power: The Truth  



公開日: 2012/08/27
Wind power is set to play a vital role in the UK's future energy mix, yet the truth of its versatility and usefulness is often lost in a bluster of myths and untruths. Our Wind Power Facts video is packed with interesting and current facts about wind power, and is a great learning resource about wind energy.

The video sets out factually supported evidence of the expediency of wind power, answers a host of common questions and dispels a cloud of myths which surround the industry.

Following popular demand we have put all of the facts, calculations and references from the video on the ASC Renewables website which you can find here at http://www.ascrenewables.com/content/...

Japan's Energy Shift ~A message from Amory Lovins~

Japan's Energy Shift ~A message from Amory Lovins~



公開日: 2013/06/24
A world-renowned energy expert, Amory Lovins, visits the forefront of Japan's energy shift to propose ways for its energy future. Lovins has been studying and visiting Japan since 1960s as he embarked on his profession. Lovins' message: Japan can lead the world in energy shift, if Japan realizes its potential for more energy efficiency and utilize its abundant renewable energy.
Since the 3.11, Japan's energy strategy is being re-examined. How can Japan harness its renewable energy to create a stable power supply while maintaining economic growth?
In the concluding segment, Lovins shares his thoughts on why Japan can achieve its energy shift.

Doctors urge province to ramp-up renewable energy
Solar and wind generation do not contribute to climate change, respiratory illness, brain damage or cancer.
By: Dr. David Colby Dr. Rosana Pellizzari, Gideon Forman, Published on Fri Jun 21 2013
The Ontario government's recent announcement that it will add 900 megawatts of new renewable energy to the provincial grid is welcome news indeed. Projected to come online starting in 2014, the new electricity will be sufficient to power over 125,000 homes every year and create over 6,000 jobs. It shows Queen's Park is committed to building up renewables and is to be applauded.
But if the government really wants to develop this sector in the long-run — and the health of every Ontarian depends on it — it must also boost the renewable targets contained in itsLong-Term Energy Plan. That document — released in 2010 and currently being reviewed by the Ministry of Energy — says by 2030 wind power will supply just 10 per cent of electricity generation and solar will provide a measly 1.5 per cent. Nearly half the grid will be hogged by nuclear — effectively blocking renewables' expansion.

Nicholas Keyes, The World Bank
June 21, 2013
Pakistan encapsulates the renewable energy challenge faced by many developing and emerging countries. Despite abundant renewable resources -- including solar, wind, hydropower and biomass -- very little of this potential has been utilized. At the same time, about a third of the country's people do not have access to electricity.

Amory Lovins: A 50-year Plan for Energy  



公開日: 2014/02/24

In this intimate talk filmed at TED's offices, energy innovator Amory Lovins shows how to get the US off oil and coal by 2050, $5 trillion cheaper, with no Act of Congress, led by business for profit. The key is integrating all four energy-using sectors—and four kinds of innovation.
Amory Lovins was worried (and writing) about energy long before global warming was making the front -- or even back -- page of newspapers. Since studying at Harvard and Oxford in the 1960s, he's written dozens of books, and initiated ambitious projects -- cofounding the influential, environment-focused Rocky Mountain Institute; prototyping the ultra-efficient Hypercar -- to focus the world's attention on alternative approaches to energy and transportation.
His critical thinking has driven people around the globe -- from world leaders to the average Joe -- to think differently about energy and its role in some of our biggest problems: climate change, oil dependency, national security, economic health, and depletion of natural resources.
Lovins offers solutions as well. His new book and site, Reinventing Fire, offers actionable solutions for four energy-intensive sectors of the economy: transportation, buildings, industry and electricity. Lovins has always focused on solutions that conserve natural resources while also promoting economic growth; Texas Instruments and Wal-Mart are just two of the mega-corporations he has advised on improving energy efficiency.

US nuclear waste dilemma

US nuclear waste dilemma



公開日: 2013/02/26
With two decades to go before it can reprocess spent nuclear fuel, the US will have to bury nearly 70,000 tons of it, a research lab reports. It comes after Congress and the Obama administration defunded a planned nuclear waste repository in 2011.

The Oak Ridge National Laboratory, a facility that does research for the Department of Energy (DOE), said that "about 68,450 [metric tons] or about 98 percent of the total current inventory by mass, can proceed to permanent disposal without the need to ensure retrievability for reuse or research purposes" in its report, published near the end of 2012. The rest of the waste, the report said, could be kept available for research on fuel reprocessing and storage.

The report was fairly obscure until being cited in a DOE document that showed plans to find a new permanent waste dump after Congress and the Obama administration cut funding for the Yucca Mountain repository in 2011.

Reprocessing has little support in Washington due to concerns that spent fuel could fall into the wrong hands. Nevertheless the DOE started looking into reprocessing methods in 2005.

But following the March 2011 disaster at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, US officials became wary of recycling radioactive waste.

The Blue Ribbon Commission on America's Nuclear Future, co-chaired by Energy Secretary Steven Chu, said that "no currently available or reasonably foreseeable reactor and fuel cycle technology developments - including advances in reprocessing and recycling technologies - have the potential to fundamentally alter the waste management challenges the nation confronts over at least the next several decades, if not longer" in a report.

Sweden Solved its Nuclear Waste Problem, Why Can't We?


Science and technology in America have been guided by the same set of ideas for more than half a century. The conventional wisdom is that if we feed more money and more scientists into our existing "knowledge enterprise" complex, society will derive proportionately more benefits. In the face of the global economic downturn, political disarray at the national level, and protracted challenges to the nation's public health, environmental quality, industrial base, and energy system, this simplistic assumption is long overdue for a reckoning. Today's challenges demand new ways of thinking about science and technology, and the government's role in advancing them. The problem, any honest inquiry will suggest, isn't always money, or the number of scientists, but the very way we do science.

Impact Project Video 1 - Welcome Speech & The Impact Project



公開日: 2013/11/13
The IMPACT Project is the largest European research project to date on the topic of CSR.

The project intended to create new tools and develop existing ones further to measure the impacts of CSR at different levels across European companies, sectors, regions and EU27. The research methods were designed to provide evidence to explain, characterise and compare the link between what drives CSR in companies, the translation into actions, and the outcomes in terms of CSR performance and impacts for the company, economy, society and environment.

The research envolved SMEs as well as large companies. A particular research focus was the analyse how regional, national and European institutions and policies influence the CSR impacts of companies and industries.

The project collated and combined existing non-public data sets that help to measure and monitor the impacts of CSR. It collected new panel data to monitor CSR impacts across Europe.

The empirical evidence on the impacts of CSR was used to see if and how European companies contribute - through CSR - to the main areas and objectives set in the Lisbon and Gothenburg strategies - competitiveness, innovation, growth, quality of jobs and sustainability.

The project reached its completion at the final conference held in Brussels September 17&18 2013. The essence of the conference its captured in the following videos.

The research methods were designed to provide evidence to explain, characterise and compare the link between what drives CSR in companies, the translation into actions, and the outcomes in terms of CSR performance and impacts for the company, economy, society and environment.

The research envolved SMEs as well as large companies. A particular research focus was the analyse how regional, national and European institutions and policies influence the CSR impacts of companies and industries.

The project collated and combined existing non-public data sets that help to measure and monitor the impacts of CSR. It collected new panel data to monitor CSR impacts across Europe.

The empirical evidence on the impacts of CSR was used to see if and how European companies contribute - through CSR - to the main areas and objectives set in the Lisbon and Gothenburg strategies - competitiveness, innovation, growth, quality of jobs and sustainability.

The project reached its completion at the final conference held in Brussels September 17&18 2013. The essence of the conference its captured in the following videos.

Sweden Solved its Nuclear Waste Problem, Why Can't We?


Science and technology in America have been guided by the same set of ideas for more than half a century. The conventional wisdom is that if we feed more money and more scientists into our existing "knowledge enterprise" complex, society will derive proportionately more benefits. In the face of the global economic downturn, political disarray at the national level, and protracted challenges to the nation's public health, environmental quality, industrial base, and energy system, this simplistic assumption is long overdue for a reckoning. Today's challenges demand new ways of thinking about science and technology, and the government's role in advancing them. The problem, any honest inquiry will suggest, isn't always money, or the number of scientists, but the very way we do science.

記者による会見リポート(日本記者クラブ会報2012年12月号に掲載)


エネルギー効率化が温暖化にも貢献

「不可能ではないが、大変な取り組みとなるだろう」  国際エネルギー機関(IEA)のファンデルフーフェン事務局長は、民主党政権が掲げた­脱原発政策に疑問を投げかけた。  
その理由はいくつかある。  
例えば、再生可能エネルギー促進に不可欠な補助金制度の問題だ。従来型エネルギーより­も発電コストが高い再生エネルギー導入には「固定価格買い取り制度」などの補助金制度­が必要となる。しかし、再生エネルギー先進地域の欧州では、財政危機を背景に補助金を­減額する動きも出ている。事務局長は「価格が高すぎる買い取り制度は持続不可能だ」と­、問題点を指摘した。  
さらに、送電線網の強化や、万が一に備えた予備電力の整備、液化天然ガス(LNG)輸­入増などに伴うコスト増や、地球温暖化への影響などにも触れた上で、「日本のエネルギ­ー安全保障にも影響を与える」と踏み込んだ。  
ただ、IEAといえども、一国のエネルギー政策に介入することはできない。事務局長は­、脱原発政策は「日本政府が決めること」と述べ、総選挙後に発足する新政権の政策を見­極める姿勢を示した。  
一方、世界有数の「省エネ大国」である日本が、新技術開発に注力すれば、国内総生産(­GDP)を0・4%押し上げる効果があると強調、この分野で日本が世界のリーダー役を­果たすことに期待を寄せた。  
IEAは、各国がエネルギー効率化に注力すれば、世界のエネルギー消費量の伸び率が「­半分にとどまる」と見ている。2035年までにこれを実現すれば、サウジアラビアの産­出量を上回る量の石油を節約することが可能となる。資源の有効活用が図れるほか、地球­温暖化にも貢献する。「世界はこれにもっと注目すべきだ」と、取り組み強化を訴えた。
