Aspire Week in Review – Week Ended April 3, 2009

Apr 05, 2009
Author: Administrator

The alt energyand clean tech sector had a pretty solid week, with the biofuels, energymanagement, energy storage, solar equipment/supplies and wind groupsoutperforming all of the indices (DJIA up 3%, Nasdaq up 7% and S&P 500 up4%), and the other groups keeping pace. The only disappointment was theupstream solar group, which continues to be under pressure due to slipping polyprices and also hurt by an announcement about halted production at its MosesLake facility from REC (REC closed down 11% on the week).

  • Biofuels Group - up 8% on the week, and down 18% year-to-date,
  • Energy Management Group - up 11% on the week, and up 24% year-to-date,
  • Energy Storage Group - up 9% on the week, and up 10% year-to-date,
  • Geothermal Group - up 5% on the week, and up 14% year-to-date,
  • Upstream Solar Group - down 1% on the week and down 7% year-to-date,
  • Midstream Solar Group - up 5% on the week and down 9% year-to-date,
  • Downstream Solar Group - down 3% on the week and down 9% year-to-date,
  • Solar Equipment/Supplies Group - up 9% on the week, and up 20% year-to-date,
  • Water Treatment and Infrastructure Group - up 6% on the week and down 7% year-to-date, and the
  • Wind Group - up 7% on the week, down 3% year-to-date.


In terms of anecdotal evidence that the alt energy and clean tech sector hasn'tbeen immune to the global economic crisis, New Energy Finance reported thisweek that global investment in alternative energy fell by 53% in Q1 to $13.3billion from $28.3 billion in the prior year period. VC and private-equityfunding fell 22% from the previous quarter to $1.8 billion.

And with projectfinancing continuing to be an issue holding back residential projects, a brightspot has been the utility sector. We continue to see an increasing amount ofactivity in the utility sector with announced alternative energy purchases andprojects. This week the Tennessee Valley Authority agreed to buy up to 2,000MWof electricity from alternative energy sources by 2011.


 

 

 

We have alsoseen an increase in rhetoric coming from the right that we can't possibly hopeto realistically achieve our energy independence goals in a timely and costeffective manner while shelving nuclear projects. It is interesting to notethat the amount of alternative energy begin committed to by the TVA is quite abit more than the second 1,200MW reactor at the Watts Bar nuclear station whichis being valued at $2.5 billion and scheduled for completion by 2013.

Biofuels and Biomass

TheInternational Air Transportation Association said this week that airlines maywin approval to start using biofuels by 2010, and that commercially viablesolutions using biofuel may be available within five years.

Acciona (ANA.MC)opened a new biodiesel plant in Spain which will produce 200,000 tons per year.The facility cost €25 million ($33 million).

FirstEnergy Corp. is goingto spend $200 million to convert units at its R.E. Burger plant to burnbiomass. The transition is expected to be complete by 2013. The plan is beingdriven by the courts, which ruled in 2005 that FirstEnergy needs to reducepollution from its power plants.

Shell saidbiofuels may account for as much a 7% to 10% of the world's transport fuel mixin the next few decades, with expectations of commercial volumes of nextgeneration biofuels on the market in the next 5 to 10 years.

Verenium(Nasdaq:VRNM) said it is reorganizing its R&D unit, consolidating itsdemonstration-scale plant in Jennings in the process.

In Thailand,Sumatec Resources Bhd. Won a $70.6 million contract to build a bio-ethanolplant.

Going, Going....

Nova Biosourcefiled for Chapter 11 protection. The stock was suspended from trading anddelisted from the NYSE Amex.

Pacific Ethanol(Nasdaq:PEIX) reported this week that it may not be able to continue past April30 without renegotiating its debts or finding new sources of cash. It is indefault on $250 million in loans.

Tate & Lylesaid it is laying off another 56 employees at its unfinished ethanol plant inFort Dodge.

Verasun closed on the saleof five ethanol plants and a development site to Valero Energy. The facilitieswill be grouped under a subsidiary, Valero Renewable Fuels.

Brazil

According toDatagro, the estimated proportion of flex-fuel feet, which uses hydrous ethanolwas 78.1% in January, 2009.

In Brazil, autosales increased by 17% in March, driven by tax cuts and lower interest rates.In February, Volkswagen ranked number 1, in wholesales, responsible for 29.7%or 47.3 thousand flex-fuel cars sold, with Fiat trailing in number 2 at 29% ofthe market.  In January and February,Fiat led, with 90.5 thousand units sold, representing 29.1% of the market.

Datagro reportedthat ethanol prices in Sao Paulo trended to the lowest levels since October2007. Between March 23 and March 27, a liter of anhydrous averaged R$ 0.6809 (netof taxes) posting the seventh consecutive weekly drop. Hydrous ethanol had aneighth consecutive fall, negotiated at an average of R$ 0.5926 (net of taxes),compared to R$ 0.6396 the prior week. Prices have been pushed down by sellingpressure coming from cash-strapped plants.

Fuel prices atthe consumer level fell between March 22 and March 28, with a liter of ethanolsold at R$ 1.508, down $0.59 on a week-over-week basis. The ethanol/gasolineration in Brazil for the same period was 60.22%.

Carbon, Clean Tech and Climate Change

The EPA said the US andCanada have applied to the international Maritime Organization to create a230-mile emissions control area around much of their respective coastlines. Accordingto EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson, about 40 of the 100 largest US ports arelocated in metropolitan areas that fail to meet federal air quality standards.

Energy Secretarysaid on Monday that the FutureGen project, which would burn coal but storeemissions of GHGs underground, has merit. The project would be pursued at acoal plant in central Illinois at a cost of about $1.8 billion.

Also on Mondayat the Platts 2009 Wind Power Development Conference, FERC commissioner PhilipMoeller reiterated what has become conventional wisdom in the industry, that ifCongress attempts to attach transmission siting and a cap-and-trade program,with a national renewable portfolio standard into one piece of legislation, itwill prolong the debate and passage of a cap-and-trade program. It would alsoinvariably prolong the passage of a national RPS.

At the G-20meeting, the Task Force on Low-Carbon Economic Prosperity, which consists ofthe heads of 52 companies including banks, airlines, utilities, oil companiesand auto manufacturers made a pitch for governments to commit 20% of theirstimulus measures to low carbon growth.

A deadline washit on Wednesday for California service stations to install gasoline pumps thatreduce air pollution. The requirement is expected to cut emissions by 40%.

In the EU, theEU's top IT official said IT and telco firms should reduce GHGs by one-fifth by2020. The industry is responsible for about 2% of all EU CO2 emissions. Also,the International Air Transport Association announced a plan for planes toreduce GHG emissions. By 2013, about 100 airports in Europe will allow planesto descend all the way from cruising altitude to the runway in one smoothglide, savings about 992 pounds of CO2 per landing. In addition,fuel-efficiency measures are expected to cut emissions by another 1.8%,resulting in a total reduction of 10 million tons of CO2 per year.

 

 

 

Electric Vehicles, Hybrids and PHEVs

 

General Motors increased itsrequest for loans from the government's federal energy program by $2.6 billionto $10.3 billion to help build three fuel-efficient vehicles. Two of thevehicles will be modeled on the Chevy Volt.

MitsubishiMotors said it is increasing production of its planned electric vehicle (the IMiEV) in 2010 from 4,000 to 5,000 units after orders for the first 2,000 werefilled so quickly. Mitsubishi will sell the I MiEV in Europe through Peugeotand will sell to individual consumers in Japan in 2011.

Proton andDetroit Electric signed a $555 million deal to make electric cards by earlynext year.

Japan isreportedly considering subsidies on hybrid and EV purchases, offering up to¥200,000 ($1,994) to buyers of the vehicles that satisfy certain emissionstandards (and ¥300,000 if they switch from a car that has been used for morethan 13 years. The subsidy is expected to be in place before this summer andremain in place until March 2010.

Ireland's EnergyMinister, Eamon Ryan, said the country intends to have 10% of its vehicle fleetelectric by 2010, targeting about 230,000 or so vehicles on Irish roads by2020. Renault and Nissan are reportedly aiming to be the first mass marketentrants into the field.

State and Federal Driven News

In the Senate

Chairman Waxman of the Energy and Commerce Committee and ChairmanMarket of the Energy and Environment Subcommittee released a draft copy of theAmerican Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 (ACES) which is an ambitiouspiece of legislation (it contains four titles and is almost 700 pages long, notto mention the targets and goals it sets) that will no doubt be heavilyscrutinized by the GOP.

For a complete read on the draft clickhere. The Energy and Commerce Committee will complete consideration of thelegislation by Memorial Day.

Senator Shelbywrote an editorialthis week, and has been speaking out to the same effect that a national renewableportfolio standard is a bad policy to compel many states to abide by since insome states, like Alabama, he says, "No matter how hard the federal governmenttries, it cannot make the sun shine or wind blow." He points out that Alabama,and many other states, have a "natural inability" to meet thegovernment-imposed mandates of RES, and that states failing to meet thosestandards would be fined by the government, as well they would be faced withhigher electricity charges.

We don't buy it,but appreciate Shelby's creativity in resisting the trend and sticking to hisfossil fuel guns. We would, however, point Shelby to the USDepartment of Energy's own assessment of alternative energy resources inAlabama, where, if he took the time, he would find that Alabama has excellentbiomass resource potential, ample geothermal resources, a good hydropowerresource, and solar resources as good as New Jersey (and we have seen New Jerseytake a leadership role in deploying solar in the state).  Admittedly, Alabama doesn't look likeit will ever be the wind capital, but then you can't have everything.

SenatorsKlobuchar and Snowe introduced S. 826. A bill topromote renewable energy, and for other purposes; to the Committee on Finance.

SenatorsHarkin, Thune and Johnson introduced  S. 828. A bill to amend the EnergyPolicy Act of 2005 to provide loan guarantees for projects to constructrenewable fuel pipelines, and for other purposes; to the Committee on Energyand Natural Resources.


Inthe House

House Energy andCommerce Committee Chairman Henry Waxman is pushinglegislation in the House to bring the US into a global effort to reduceGHGs, as well as to create jobs. The legislation would establish a newcap-and-trade framework designed to target limiting emissions more so than theClean Air Act proposes. Using 2005 as a base year, US carbon emissions wouldhave to be reduced by 20% by 2020, 42% by 2030 and 83% by 2050. The GOP isopposing the legislation arguing that it is too costly in the current economicenvironment.

State Level

California'sSenate approved Senate Bill 14, which requires energy providers to buy 33% oftheir energy from alternative energy sources by 2020. Current law requires thatinvestor owned utilities procure 20% of their renewable sources by December 31,2010, capping the amount that the Public Utilities Commission may orderutilities to buy or build at 20%. The new bill removes the cap.

New JerseyGovernor Jon Corzine signed three key pieces of legislation into law this weekthat will drive alternative energy: S-1299/A2550,permits the location of certain wind and solar energy generating facilities inareas zoned for industrial use. The bill stipulates that any lot which is atleast 20 contiguous acres, owned by a single person or entity, and zoned forindustrial use would fall under the provisions of this bill. Senator Smith, whosponsored the legislation, noted that the intent of the legislation is tosupersede local zoning ordinances, which can sometimes be guided by a NIMBY(Not-In-My-Back-Yard) mentality, prohibiting development without regard to thepublic benefits of the project.

Thesecond bill in the package, S-2265/A1558, requires a developer of newresidential development of 25 or more dwelling units to offer to install asolar energy system when a prospective owner enters into negotiations with thedeveloper to purchase a dwelling unit. Under the bill, developers will berequired to disclose in advertizing that a prospective owner may have a solarenergy system installed in any unit; the total cost of installation; and acomprehensive information packet on solar energy systems.

Afinal bill in the package, S-1932, sponsored by Senators Teresa Ruiz, D-Essexand Passaic, and Bob Gordon, D-Bergen, authorizes the BPU to use revenue fromthe existing retail margin charge levied against large industrial or commercialenergy consumers to fund grants for projects designed to lower energy usage andreduce energy cost by those consumers. Specifically, the grant program willapply to projects which promote combined heat and power co-generation, to tapthe heat produced from electrical generation to offset other utility bills.

Nevada's Energy,Infrastructure and Transportation Committee voted unanimously for SB152 whichuses federal stimulus funds to train people for working in the renewable energyindustry, fund weatherization of about 6,500 homes and upgrades governmentbuildings and schools to make them more efficient. Legislatures still need todetermine how much of the approximately $1.5 billion in federal stimulus moneyallocated to Nevada can be spent on the initiative. The bill is moving to thefull Senate for approval of amendments.

Nevada GovernorJim Gibbon told the Senate Energy, Infrastructure and Transportation Committeethat SB395 would help make the state energy independent by 2020. Amongst otherthings, the bill requires energy efficiency in government operations, restrictsconstruction of new power if its emits GHGs, requires that at least 25% ofelectricity sold to consumers by energy companies be from renewable sources by2025, shortens permit times for certain renewable energy project and requirescar dealers to disclose the amount of CO2 starting with 2012 models.

In Oregon, theSenate voted Monday to ban dishwasher detergents with high amounts ofphosphorus.

In WestVirginia, lawmakers have added nuclear energy under the definition of"alternative energy" while excluding corn-based ethanol on the basis thatcorn-ethanol isn't all that green. We agree that corn-ethanol has its issues,but then, so does nuclear. A bill being considered in West Virginia would requirethe state to get 25% of its electricity from renewable and alternative sourcesby 2025. At present, there are no operating nuclear power reactors in WestVirginia.

Finance & M&A

Showa Shell, adivision of Royal Dutch Shell, is reportedly interested in buying HitachiLimited's television plant in southern Japan to build its third solar panelproduction plant.
