• Crystalline silicon PV and balance of system technologies have been, and will continue to be, the most important technology drivers of growth

– c-Si market share now ~90% (up from 80% 6 years ago)– PV module prices have dropped by more than 80% in last 6 years– 35 GW of PV to be installed in 2013 (>1000% increase vs. 6 years ago)– PV LCOE is below conventional sources in some locations

• Some SunPower examples of continuing innovation:– Power plant grid services (e.g., AVR, PF Control, Dynamic VAR control)

– Industry-leading reliability science and performance validation• See, for example, “Validation of the PVLife model against 3 million module-years of live-site data”, E. Hasselbrink, et. al,

Presented at the 39th IEEE Photovoltaic Specialists Conference, June 16-20, 2013, Tampa, Florida.

– Continued cost reduction and performance improvement

WESTERN STATES PETROLEUM ASSOCIATION

WESTERN STATES PETROLEUM ASSOCIATION

96 percent of California’s transportation fuels are petroleum based

CA utilizes 43 million gallons of gasoline and 14 million gallons of diesel fuel every day

CA produced more than 2 million gallons of gasoline and diesel fuel every hour, 365 days a year

CA is the third largest fuel consuming entity on earth, behind the US as a whole and all of China

Global energy demand will grow 35%, as the world’s population expands from about 7 billion people to nearly 9 billion by 2040, led by growth in Africa & India (Exxon Mobil 2013 Outlook for Energy: A View to 2040).

Oil Industry Expenditures on Innovations

• US Oil and Natural Gas industry is developing next – generation forms of energy and cleaner fuels & products.

•Between 2000-2010 industry invested more than $71 billion in new low and zero emissions technologies. Or 38% of the 188 billion spent by US Government & other industries was from oil and gas industry.

•Efficiency will continue to play a key role in solving our energy challenge. US Oil and Natural Gas companies are pioneers in ‘energy efficiency’ of producing and refining petroleum and gas.

• CCS - US oil and gas are at the forefront of developing “carbon capture and storage technology or CCS to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emission by storing them underground.

U.S. Department of Energy “Capturing carbon emissions and storing them underground is a crucial technology as we build a clean energy future and address the threat of climate change…these investments will create jobs and help ensure that America can lead the world in the clean energy economy.”

Mary Nichols, Chair California Air Resources Board “I think it’s important to reiterate the fact that we (CARB) think California is an ideal place for doing sequestration because of the geological formations and oil industry that’s here.” George Peridas, Scientist, Climate Center Natural Resources Defense Council “In California, CCS can materially help the state meet its long term emission reduction goals.”

Environmental Defense Fund “One technology in particular has the potential to make a huge contribution in reducing CO2: carbon capture and sequestration (CCS), also sometimes referred to as carbon storage.”
