Juho Lipponen - CCS incentive policies: lessons and strategies - Presentation...Global CCS Institute
This document discusses incentive policies for carbon capture and storage (CCS). It notes that CCS projects currently have high costs and require incentives to be economically viable. An incentive policy architecture is needed with a long-term framework using different policy tools over time as objectives and the technology evolve. Individual policies should address objectives like emissions reductions, learning, and access to capital markets. "Policy gateways" can help define when policies transition between stages and criteria for the transitions. This approach provides stability while allowing adaptation as understanding of CCS improves.
1) Policies have successfully driven growth in renewable energy, especially wind and solar PV, but grids and markets face new challenges integrating high shares of variable renewables.
2) Flexibility from sources like hydro, demand response, storage and transmission is key to managing variability, but lack of coordination between policies could jeopardize integration.
3) High renewable shares are lowering electricity prices but also reducing conventional plant capacity factors, raising issues around capacity markets and market integration.
UtiliTree Carbon Company is soliciting funding from power companies for a new initiative called UtiliTree II to plant trees in the lower Mississippi River Valley to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and support President Bush's approach to addressing greenhouse gases; UtiliTree II aims to restore over 30,000 acres of forest through land purchases and easements to provide carbon offsets at a cost of less than $2 per ton while delivering other environmental benefits; the letter requests financial commitments totaling $5 million from companies by September 30th to support the projects.

The document summarizes state-level solar policies and initiatives in India. It finds that while states have set ambitious solar targets, there is uncertainty around policy stability, payment mechanisms, and ecosystem development. Key differences between states include the scale of targets, use of local content requirements, and approaches to setting feed-in tariffs. Off-grid policies provide clear subsidies but implementation has lagged intentions. Overall, the document concludes state efforts require treatment to ensure policy continuity, expert implementation, and long-term ecosystem building for the solar sector to realize its potential.

Integrating PV on Distribution systems is increasing dramatically. Recent studies show that high penetrations of up to 30% distributed PV may not exceed voltage limits or cause other adverse distribution effects as previously thought. Smart grid technologies could help accommodate higher levels of distributed PV by facilitating communications and enabling demand response and energy storage to provide grid benefits by compensating for PV variability.
UtiliTree II is a new initiative to plant trees and restore forests in the lower Mississippi River Valley to remove CO2 from the atmosphere. The program seeks $5 million in funding from electric power companies to plant trees on over 30,000 acres.

5. Meewind delivers
Meewind is part of a Belgian/Dutch consortium which
arranged the financing of a 165 MW wind farm off
the Belgian coast named Belwind. The consortium
consists of the Belgian companies Colruyt, DHAM,
ParticipatieMaatschappij Vlaanderen, and the Dutch
companies SHV and Rabo Project Equity along with
Meewind. This is the most important sustainable energy
deal in Europe in 2009, according to trade press reports.
The wind farm will become operational at the end of
2010, supplying electricity to approximately 165,000
households.
The first phase of the wind park construction consists of 55 wind turbines with a total capacity of 165 MW.
Once operational, the park will save 270,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions a year. It will be located 46 km off the
Belgian coast, adjacent to the area designated for the development of wind farms by the Netherlands.
Participation in this phase is still possible.
