WASHINGTON – Building on President Obama’s Climate Action Plan to continue America’s leadership in clean energy innovation, the Energy Department today announced an award to NuScale Power LLC to support a new project to design, certify and help commercialize innovative small modular reactors (SMRs) in the United States. This award follows a funding opportunity announcement in March 2013. View a new Energy Department infographic on small modular reactors and their potential to provide clean, safe and cost-effective nuclear energy. “Small modular reactors represent a new generation of safe, reliable, low-carbon nuclear energy technology and provide a strong opportunity for America to lead this emerging global industry,” said Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz. “The Energy Department is committed to strengthening nuclear energy’s continuing important role in America’s low carbon future, and new technologies like small modular reactors will help ensure our continued leadership in the safe, secure and efficient use of nuclear power worldwide.” This project represents a significant investment in first-of-a-kind engineering and design certification for small modular reactors in the United States. Through a five-year cost-share agreement, the Energy Department will invest up to half of the total project cost, with the project’s industry partners matching this investment by at least one-to-one. The specific total will be negotiated between the Energy Department and NuScale and will be derived from the total $452 million identified for the Department’s Small Modular Reactor Licensing Technical Support program. The Energy Department investment will help NuScale obtain Nuclear Regulatory Commission design certification and achieve commercial operation around 2025, while providing innovative and effective solutions for enhanced reactor safety, operations and performance. The Energy Department’s cooperative agreements require that the reactors be built domestically – strengthening American manufacturing capabilities and creating important export opportunities for the United States. The project will be based in Oregon and will support additional suppliers and operations in California, Idaho, Washington, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Virginia, Kansas, Texas and Maryland. Small modular reactors – which are approximately one-third the size of current nuclear power plants – have compact, scalable designs that are expected to offer a host of safety, construction and economic benefits. The Energy Department is seeking small modular reactor designs that can be made in factories and transported to sites where they would be ready for installation upon arrival. The smaller size could reduce both capital costs and construction times – helping to provide U.S. utilities with more nuclear energy options and support new low-carbon capacity for small electric grids and locations that cannot support the traditional large reactor designs.

Mobile app provides free data on renewable energy potential across the globe Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, 16 June 2015 – Smartphone users can now access the most reliable data on global renewable energy potential, for free, thanks to an application launched today by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). The Global Atlas pocket, now available on all platforms including BlackBerry® 10, iOS, Android™ and Windows Phone®, is the only global tool of its kind, combining 1,000 maps from 67 governments and 50 data centres to provide information on renewable energy resources anywhere in the world. “One of the major hurdles to worldwide renewable energy deployment is to mobilise investment flows commensurate with global needs," said Adnan Z. Amin, IRENA Director-General. "The Global Atlas pocket helps bring more investment certainty to renewable energy prospectors and investors. Users can freely access data from geothermal potentials in the Caribbean to solar potentials in the Middle East and anything in between. It is an incredibly powerful tool.” The app turns mobile devices into renewable energy prospectors and can help answer questions like, can renewable energy power 100 per cent of this island? What percentage of this city can be powered by solar energy? If I want to invest in a wind power project, where are the highest potential locations? It allows user to screen renewable energy project sites before making investment decision, create content on clean energy potentials in areas of interest and access images of growth areas for renewable energy infrastructure opportunities. It also comes with a powerful combination of search functionalities including geolocation services, personalized search categories, map views and sharing capabilities. The Global Atlas pocket is the mobile version of the online Global Atlas portal, which aims to provide access to the necessary datasets, expertise and financial support to help countries evaluate their national renewable energy potential. Partner quotes: Michel Jarraud, Secretary-General of the World Meteorological Organization: "Collaboration between the WMO and IRENA enables better understanding of the energy sector’s specific requirements and enhanced access to tailored climate services to support the uptake of renewable energy. WMO welcomes IRENA’s Global Atlas on Renewable Energy as a tool to support climate services for the energy sector." Barbara J. Ryan, Secretariat Director of the Intergovernmental Group on Earth Observations: "We enthusiastically applaud IRENA’s release of the Global Atlas pocket. The pocket application is integral to making data and information about renewable energy more accessible to users around the world. The Global Atlas - both online and in the pocket format - is yet another example of the integral role of Earth observations in enabling better informed decision-making in areas of vital importance to our global society." Jeffrey Harris, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Open Geospatial Consortium: “Location communication is essential for all business enterprises and there is increasingly a demand for capable, mobile applications to further empower agile decisions across business and governments. Every energy asset and customer has location information that matters. The Open Geospatial Consortium is proud to help enable free, timely access to comprehensive, easy-to-use energy information data as part of IRENA’s Global Atlas pocket. Understanding and managing renewable energy opportunities is an important ingredient in developing the full potential of Smart Cities." Anita Marangoly George, Senior Director of the World Bank's Energy and Extractives Global Practice: "Through its Energy Sector Management Assistance Program, the World Bank is making data-rich renewable energy resource maps of 12 developing countries available through IRENA's Global Atlas. As renewable resources take on a central role in countries' energy planning, this information becomes increasingly important to governments, citizens and the private sector. The Global Atlas pocket app will increase the number of people using and interacting with this valuable catalogue of data, and we look forward to working with IRENA to further improve accessibility." Peter Ng, Senior Director of Global Alliances and Business Development at BlackBerry: “We’re pleased to make the Global Atlas pocket application developed by IRENA available to our BlackBerry 10 users. The application is natively developed for the BlackBerry 10 platform and brings a wealth of information about renewable energy resources to users, including government organizations and renewable energy industries globally, for free.” Michael Mansour, Head of Apps and Innovation at Microsoft Gulf: “Microsoft is constantly using its innovative technology to bridge the information gap by creating a platform and tools that empower people to craft ideas and share important knowledge geared towards sustainable development. We are happy to partner with IRENA in making The Global Atlas pocket app a success and we are confident that it will help in encouraging initiatives on renewable energy around the world. Microsoft will continue to support similar initiatives that exhibit great potential to uplift the well-being of communities and also address the world’s future needs.” Download the Global Atlas pocket: Windows Phone: http://bit.ly/1AYGnsz Blackberry World: http://tinyurl.com/nkkqkb Apple iTunes: http://tinyurl.com/pzmtko4 Google play: http://tinyurl.com/q963jgv

October ethanol shipments totaled 53.1 million gallons (mg), down 2% from September but above the year-to-date average according to recently released government data. Canada was again the top destination (receiving 57% of U.S. exports), followed by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the Philippines. Year-to-date U.S. exports through October stood at 472.7 mg, implying an annualized total of 567.2 mg. Meanwhile U.S. ethanol imports in October trickled in at the lowest level in 18 months, totaling just 13.1 mg. As a result, the U.S. saw its widest margin of net exports since May 2012. Exports of denatured ethanol for fuel use remained generally flat from September at 36.1 mg. Exports of denatured product to Canada totaled 25.1 mg (69% of total) while the UAE nabbed 7.0 mg (19%). Peru (1.7 mg) and first-time importer Tunisia (1.6 mg) captured most of the remaining share of U.S. denatured product. Undenatured fuel ethanol exports totaled 14.6 mg, a 13% decrease from September (16.7 mg). The Philippines was again the top customer for undenatured product in October (4.8 mg), followed by Sweden (3.4 mg), Norway (3.2 mg) and Mexico (2.2 mg). Denatured and undenatured ethanol exports for non-fuel, non-beverage use vaulted to 2.3 mg – the highest in over a year – with Mexico alone importing 1.6 mg of undenatured product for non-fuel use in October. Ethanol imports fell 71% from September, as Brazil shipped 13.1 mg to the U.S., while Sweden sent a scant 505 gallons of undenatured ethanol. Year-to-date imports through October totaled 387.6 mg, implying an annual total of 465.1 mg. Year-to-date, the U.S. has been a net exporter of 85.1 mg in 2013. By comparison, net exports for January-October 2012 were 254.2 mg. Exports of distillers dried grains (DDG) – the animal feed co-product manufactured by dry mill ethanol plants – climbed 19% from September to 935,370 metric tons (mt), the second highest volume in over two years. China was again the leading destination, receiving 566,954 mt (61% of total U.S. DDG exports). Mexico (159,862 mt), Canada (29,521mt), South Korea (23,335 mt) and Ireland (21,999 mt) rounded out the top five partners. Year-to-date DDG exports stood at 7.64 million mt through October, implying an annualized total of 9.17 mmt that would topple the 2010 DDG export record.

The Renewable Fuels Association's (RFA) dedication to health and safety begins with the positive benefits of ethanol production in our rural communities and continues all the way through to the reduced tailpipe emissions from every vehicle in America operating on ethanol-blended fuel. Importantly, ethanol, to be used as a motor fuel, must be flammable, which means safety must be a top priority in all aspects of production, transportation and handling. RFA has developed premier resources covering numerous aspects of ethanol and safety; these resources are published for everyone to use and free of charge. But for now, let's just focus on one area important to the industry: rail transport of ethanol. We have been watching with a careful eye – rightly so in some aspects – the crude oil train derailment in Quebec; what a horrible accident. Ethanol's rail transport safety record tallies 99.99% of shipments arriving safely every day. Ethanol is less hazardous and less toxic to humans and the environment, and ethanol incident impacts on the environment are markedly less damaging. In fact, in most cases ethanol is left to biodegrade in water and soil naturally. Some of the best work we do at RFA is focused on safety. We put a constant emphasis on improving the safety of ethanol rail transport. Our current efforts include: RFA is the guiding force behind the Ethanol Emergency Response Coalition, a voluntary industry/ government group developing safety and emergency response information for the first response community specifically focused on ethanol incident training. We support the www.EthanolResponse.com website as the holy grail of ethanol safety and emergency information. RFA is a national sponsor of TRANSCAER; TRANSCAER stands for Transportation Community Awareness and Emergency Response. This is a voluntary national group that assists communities to prepare for and to respond to a possible hazardous material incident. We, as a hazardous material community, come together to build resources for communities that have hazmat transportation. We partner with industries such as Class I Railroads, Trucking Companies and other hazardous material manufacturers. This group is widely successful in offering FREE training and other educational resources. TRANSCAER's website is: http://www.transcaer.com/ RFA has been successful at securing government grants to further our work; we have received three major grants which helped us hold Ethanol Safety Seminars all over the U.S. Special thanks goes out to the U.S. Department of Energy and Department of Transportation. RFA has also received a grant from DOT to develop safety information regarding the proper securement of the DOT 111A style railcar, the most common classification of railcar used for ethanol transport. RFA's effort culminated in the creation of "Guidelines for Hinged and Bolted Manway Assembly." Industry experts from Watco Industries, VSP Technologies and Salco Products were essential for this guide. The manway guide lead to additional training and educational resources for ethanol shippers. This information has been consolidated into a Poster and Brochure to provide visual training support. RFA's Plant and Employee Safety Committee also focuses on safe rail transport, sharing best practices and technical information leading to constant safety improvements. RFA also participates in the Association of American Railroad's Tank Car Committee and many government led efforts on hazmat, rail transport. RFA's resources are available to anyone interested; just email Safety@EthanolRFA.org! For almost 20 years, I have been involved in the manufacturing, shipping and use of ethanol as a motor fuel. When I reflect on my experiences in those two decades, the most important work that I have done has involved employee and product safety. In the 1990s, I was an environmental health and safety engineer at a manufacturing site. Today, I co-chair the Ethanol Emergency Response Coalition. What a rewarding career path!

Press Release “The Energy Policy Research Group (EPRG), a joint research centre based in Cambridge Judge Business School and the Faculty of Economics at the University of Cambridge recently received £190,000 as a donation from the Enel Foundation to support a two-year research project on “Zero Subsidy Scenarios and International Natural Gas Markets”. The project runs from the 1st of October 2013 until the 30th of September 2015. The overall objective of this research project is to understand: (i) the role of energy subsidies in the European electricity sector, and (ii) the role of natural gas in the European electricity generation mix under different energy market and policy scenarios. Together, the two elements of the project combine to address the complex interactions between different stakeholders in the electricity, natural gas and carbon markets. The project is timely as the outputs will feed in to ongoing debates within the European Union over the fate of existing subsidy regimes and the overarching climate and energy objectives for 2030. The expected output from this project is publications in leading academic journals on the subject of energy economics, policy and management. During the project we also expect to contribute to the energy policy debate in major European capitals by publishing short policy briefs on the topics related to this research project as well as policy consultation papers where and when necessary. The project is led by Dr. David Reiner, Senior Lecturer in Technology Policy at Cambridge Judge Business School and Assistant Director of EPRG. Other project members are: Prof. David Newbery, Director of EPRG and Emeritus Professor of Economics, Faculty of Economics, University of Cambridge; Dr. Robert Ritz, University Lecturer in Economics, Faculty of Economics; and Dr. Chi Kong Chyong, EPRG Research Associate, Cambridge Judge Business School and Director of the Energy Policy Forum.” For further information, see: EPRG: https://www.eprg.group.cam.ac.uk/ Enel Foundation: http://www.enel.com/en-GB/enel_foundation/

For the operation of the GCF, it will be essential to define how the objective to promote paradigm shift towards low-emission and climate-resilient development pathways – as specified in the Governing instrument – will be operationalised. The paper provides some detailed reflections for mitigation and adaptation to stimulate ongoing discussion.

The emissions gap in 2020 is the difference between emission levels in 2020 consistent with meeting climate targets, and levels expected in that year if country pledges and commitments are met. As it becomes less and less likely that the emissions gap will be closed by 2020, the world will have to rely on more difficult, costlier and riskier means after 2020 of keeping global average temperature increase below 2°C. If the emissions gap is not closed, or significantly narrowed, by 2020, the door to many options limiting the temperature increase to 1.5°C at the end of this century will be closed.

Weak government action on climate change will lead to a projected 3.7°C of warming by 2100, around 0.6°C higher than the original promises they made in Copenhagen.
