  1. Energyfrom Glass

  2. glass2energy The Situation

  3. glass2energy 70% oftheworld‘spopulation will live in an urban areaby 2050 80% oftheworld‘scarbonemissionsareproducedbycities 40% oftheworld‘senergyisconsumedbybuildings

  4. glass2energy • The challenge • Generateelectricityin the heart of cities • wherepeople liveand consume • wherespaceisscarce • whereesthetics are valued • whereenvironmental impact must beminimal

  5. glass2energy • Our solution • Generateelectricityfromalmostevery glass • surfaceyoucan imagine… • facades • windows • balconies • anti-noise barriers • fences • verandas • bus shelters • etc…

  6. glass2energy • Our technology • dye-sensitizedcelltechnology (DSC) • leading-edgenanotechnologyinvented by Prof. Grätzelfrom the EPFL • representing the 3rd generationphotovoltaics 1st generation: CSi 2nd generation: thin-film CSi 3rd generation: DSC

  7. Think of it as artificialphotosynthesis… 2% leaves sun energytogrow sun electricity glass2energy modules

  8. glass2energymodulesare 10x different... diffuse light everyorientation frombothsides transparent efficient in interior colored efficiencyimproves withtemperatures 100% glassstructure easy to recycle no rare earth notoxic material lowsensitivityto shadows

  9. 3 keybenefits... 1. High energygeneration 20-30% morekWh/Wpharvest (v. C-Si PV of same capacity, at same angle&orientation) 2. Multiple applications transparency, colors, designs andtotallynewuses Low environmental impact muchbetterprofilethanexisting PVs 3.

  10. Different & complementary uses… focus on electricitygenerationonly, mainly on roofsand solar farms colors, transparency, designandelectricitygenerationon vastrangeofapplications

  11. glass2energy Hugemarketopportunity… 1. buildingmarket (green/zeroemission buildings) 2. eMobility/green mobility 3. nomadicenergy

  12. 780% growthfor green buildings (energy efficient/zeroemissions) between 2010 and 2020 giving… 2.1Bio m2 green building facades and windows, 5.3Bio m2 floorspaceper year 1. green/zeroemissionsbuildings 3.1Trio CHF marketat an averagecost of CHF1’500.-/m2 Sources: Pike Research/Colliers International, 2011 (0.40 facadetofloorratio), World greenbuildingtrends, McGrawHillConstruction, 2013
