Clean Energy Strategies for the Future: European Roadmap 2050 Roundtable Discussion

Explore the implications of restructuring in the natural gas industry on clean energy strategies with a focus on transitioning from coal to renewables and efficient gas utilization. Discuss how lower gas costs pose challenges and opportunities for system and policy refinements, including electricity market balancing, wind dispatch, and flexible resource integration. Learn about the role of renewable energy policies, long-term contracting, and infrastructure expansion in achieving sustainability goals. Join the conversation on transforming energy landscapes for a greener future.

  1. Clean Energy Strategies in the Impending Era of NG Restructuring Roundtable June 15, 2012 N. Jonathan Peress njperess@clf.org

  2. Irrational Exuberance – No Barrel Left Behind

  3. Niche Fuel – Not a Bridge FuelNear term: Replace the Coal

  4. Longer Term, Support Variable RenewablesEuropean Climate Foundation Roadmap 2050http://roadmap2050.eu/(Mike Hogan)

  5. Lower Gas Costs Create System and Policy Challenges • Electricity Market Refinements – to support balancing • Wind Dispatch • FCM – Support market entry by flexible resources • Hourly offers into DAM • Gas Markets – New transportation/pipeline capacity; new products and services to support flexible resources • New gas demand creates reliability challenges • Alters cost effectiveness test for EE and renewables

  6. If gas saved by 30% residential efficiency used in power plants Dec – Feb it would raise gas use in those plants up to levels usually seen in July. Back of the envelope confirmation that gas efficiency can “free up” gas that might be needed to meet peak winter electric demand. In a world where gas is electricity - gas efficiency is electric reliability

  7. Renewable Policy Refinements • Long Term Contracting • Optimize to RPS Requirements • Bundling and blending • Regional Procurement • RFP’s based on RPS • Optimize FCM to Policy Objectives (njp) • Infrastructure/Pipeline Expansion Dialog/Proceedings
