Triple CrisisTriple Crisis1. Global Economic Depression
– credit & debt – supply & demand – GDP – resource depletion
2. Climate Change– global warming– severe weather – natural disasters – impact on agriculture productivity
3. Social Equity– population – standards of living– wide gap of social wealth – social instability
Cultural Cultural DiversityDiversity
• Necessary for Future Cultural Advancement: coexist in harmony– Respect, Collaboration, and Preservation of Uniqueness
• China + India (½ of World’s GDP): 200 years ago = by 2050– Collaborate: create economic security, stability, and equity
• Cultural Complexity: African tribes = Chinese tribes (~55)– Respect: must understand the people are not the same
• Local Characteristics Global Impact– Knowledge and information from individual communities or regions of diversity
can be applied in other comparable locations as solutions in a globalized effort.
Imperative: Collaboration (new mold) > Competition (old mold)

Powerspan CCS Collaboration with China PartnersPowerspan CCS Collaboration with China Partners
• Entered Joint Venture with Huaneng Clean Energy Research Institute for CO2 Capture Project Mongstad (CCM) Technology Qualification Program (TQP) – Contract awarded Oct 2011
• Huaneng (largest power generator in China) has a capacity of over 125 GW and annual revenue of $41.5 billion (2011)
• The CCM project captures >1 MM TPY CO2 from a gas-fired CHP plant which provides 280 MW electric and 350 MW heat (~3% CO2 in flue gas)
• Entered Cooperation Agreement with Sinopec (Shengli Engineering and Consulting Company – SLECC) for ECO2 feasibility study for a 1 million TPY CO2 capture facility (~150 MW) on a new coal-fired plant
• Project to provide CO2 for EOR at adjacent Shengli oil field – scheduled feasibility completion Dec 2012
• Sinopec (largest oil company in China), ranked #5 on the Fortune Global 500 list, with $375 billion in revenue
Commercial Relationship SummaryChina – US CCS Collaboration Summary
Positives - Powerspan joint venture with Huaneng, China’s largest power generator, and cooperation agreement with Sinopec, China’s largest oil company, are WIN-WIN- China partners provide financial strength, low cost supply chain, access to favorable financing, accelerated deployment, and potential customers with large need- Powerspan provides advanced technology, market access and knowledge of western project requirements- Sinopec 1MM TPY unit could be one of first commercial scale CO2 capture units in world for EOR (CCUS)
Strategy - Priorities
- Focus on expanding partnerships with Huaneng and Sinopec to commercial scale projects in US, Middle East, and EU- Other China and US projects are in development phase

转变需要过程、示范尤为关键
• 当前,中国正处在产业发展转型的关键时期,下三十年的发展不能再继续走过去三十年发展的老路,要转为以知识为主的经济开发,在创新、尊重知识产权、守法、增加透明度等方面寻求突破。
• 前三十年是以香港和深圳为代表的建设和开发,后三十年则是澳门和珠海的时代。
• 示范项目在经济方面显示的竞争优势最具说服力,而对成功的、有经济价值的示范项目的推广,势必将发挥其示范效应和积极影响,推进和谐社会的形成和发展。

知识为主的经济开发
• 创新• 透明度 • 保护知识产权• 遵纪守法• 系统整合

案例一:生命光源项目 (食)
• 现代都市农业: 实现城市土地的高效利用 确保农业安全生产
04/19/23
案例二:太阳能城市项目(住)
优点:
技术已经相当成熟;发电成本也很有竞争性;被证明其在经济上是可行的;各方资金支持力度很大。
04/19/23
这样较为成熟的项目,能促进中国城市转型,并实现民生、产业升级、节能、减排四大目标。
如果城市能够提供政策方面的支持,那么该项目的市场潜力非常大。
案例三:风 - 电 - 车项目 (行)
风力发电的优点是技术较为成熟、成本相对低、风力资源丰富,但弱点是稳定性差、不容易储存、对电网冲击大。而电动汽车的电池恰好可以解决风力发电的储能问题,同时又可以真正实现汽车的零排放。对交通和新能源的发展都具有突破意义。
但风电稳定性差、电池蓄电、智能电网等瓶颈仍客观存在。

案例四:废物变能源项目
清洁能源公园:集合各类能源相关、低碳相关技术与项目,将研发、示范、应用和一站式服务融为一体,打造综合能源产业公园项目。
