13 BP Alternative Energy: a growing global business
Solar PV facility / market Wind power Hydrogen power Biofuels facility / market Gas fired power Investing $1.5bn in 2008 – as much as in previous two years combined

14 BP Alternative Energy: solar power
30 years’ experience, 20 offices, employees, installations in 160 countries. Manufacturing facilities in Frederick US, Bangalore, Madrid, Xian and Sydney. Expecting to grow 60%+ by 2012. Expanding production to achieve target sales of around 800MW with similar levels of production by 2010 Includes $97m expansion at Frederick – largest integrated solar manufacturing plant in US Advanced Mono² process; support for research projects Market Context The solar photovoltaic (PV) market continued to grow in 2007, both in installed capacity and production although it was held back by a worldwide shortage of solar grade silicon. The solar market is growing at around 30% p.a. (IEA reference scenario 2007) Global solar sales to reach around 4,000MW by 2010. In recent years, BP Solar’s technology initiatives have focused on the development of new silicon feedstock and alternative wafer fabrication techniques. These advances, coupled with BP Solar’s significant improvements in device efficiency, provide a sound footing in the march towards grid parity (where solar electricity costs the same as conventional retail electricity) in the face of rising material costs. Moreover, the current scale of the solar industry, continued investment in solar R&D and sustained government support will allow the economic introduction of these advances in coming years. To date BP Solar’s modules installed worldwide will offset more than 14 million metric tons of CO2 during their lifetime. That’s the equivalent of planting more than five million acres of trees!

15 BP Alternative Energy: wind power

18 Concept for Abu Dhabi power station
BP Alternative Energy: hydrogen energy A schematic of the proposed Abu Dhabi plant - If applied to just 5 percent of the new electricity-generating capacity that the world is projected to require by 2050, hydrogen power projects would have the potential to reduce global CO2 emissions by around one billion tonnes a year. The most recent project to be proposed is in Abu Dhabi, where early stage engineering design work is underway. Here, a 420MW natural-gas based hydrogen power plant could produce low-carbon electricity and capture up to 1.7 million tonnes of CO2 each year, injecting it into a producing oil field to maintain pressure and enabling the natural gas currently used for that purpose to be produced and sold. The CO2 could also potentially enable previously unrecoverable oil to be produced. Concept for Abu Dhabi power station

20 Alternative energy: future market drivers
Global new investment in Clean Tech forecast Demand growth p.a E % 5 10 15 20 25 Total Primary Energy Wind Solar Biofuels Sources: Primary energy based on IEA WEO 2007 reference scenario. Renewables based on New Energy Finance 3000 $2-3trn 2000 $bn 1000 $148bn 2007 2030 Across the world we're at an inflection point as far as the future energy mix is concerned. If we act now to develop sustainable regulatory and fiscal structures, we will be able to smooth the transition to a lower carbon economy of the future. Global population is forecast to grow by 1.5 billion by 2030 so, it is clear that the rapid economic and demographic growth forecast for the next 20 years is going to require even more primary energy - about 50% more than we use today, according to forecasts from the International Energy Agency. This rapid rise in demand is driving the increase in greenhouse gas emissions. But much of this growth in demand is taking place in countries with very little indigenous oil and gas supplies. This, in turn, has magnified concerns for energy security. Therefore, these two challenges, climate change and energy security, need to be solved together. Source: New Energy Finance, Nov 2007 20 20
