Apocalyptic Horsemen?
• Peak Oil implies rapid future oil price increases
3
Peak Oil
• Where production rate is at or near a maximum level
• Can’t be increased even if prices rise significantly
• Leads to “Demand Destruction”/big price rises
• Occurs when 50% of “Ultimately Recoverable
Resource” (URR) has been produced
4
Peak Oil is:
• A liquid fuels problem
• Transportation problem
5
Hubert Linearization
• We are at 50% of URR
(URR = Ultimately Recoverable Reserves)
6
Global Climate Change
• CO2 pollution = CO2 generated by
burning fossil fuels
7
Global Climate Change
• CO2 into atmosphere is greater than the
ocean and land can absorb
8
What it is
• Global warming is a long-term problem
of: climate, weather, rainfall, ocean
level/acidification
9
UK’s Stern Report
• Addressing Peak Oil will require a 20
“WWII style” mobilization
– It could cost 3% - 4% to prepare for Peak
Oil
– Or a loss of 10% to 12% of GDP if we wait
until the threat hits
10
Peak Oil Challenge
• What happens when gasoline/diesel
gets above $5.00 to $20.00 a gallon?
• Transportation gets expensive
• Distance becomes a larger expense
• Food prices rise
• “Global economy” forced to get more
local
11
Peak Oil Economic Effect
• Acts as a regressive “sales tax”
• Less disposable income for most of us
• Less demand for other things
• Exports money from US go to oil
imports
• Less tax revenue for governments
– Education, health etc…
12
Export Land Model - 1
It is the export rate of oil that tends to set world oil prices
13
Export Land Model - 2
14
The problem in your side mirror is closer than
you might think!
15
Peak Oil related - both are problems that need to be dealt with
Export Land Model - 3
• At present (2011) 41 mbd exported
- 50% of all production
• In 2016 < 30 mbd exported
- 40% of all production
• More oil customers, less oil
- do the math…..
16
ELM Predictions
19
Feed-In Tariffs (FITs)
• Prices = production cost plus reasonable profit
23
Sheldon Wind Farm, Wyoming County, NY
New York Renewable
Electricity Pricing
• Existing hydro - lowest production cost
• Commercial on-shore wind
• Biogas landfill gas
• Biomass biogas without co-generation
• Hydrokinetic, wave and tidal generation
• Off-shore wind turbines
• Small scale wind turbines
• Solar PV - highest production cost 24
Electricity Requirements
• 16 GW existing (3 GW present)
• 10 GW natural gas replacement (heat)
• 4 GW “electro-fuels”
• 2 GW electric/plug-in hybrid cars
• 2 GW energy storage (pumped hydro)
• Total = 32 GW average usage (34 GW
required to deliver 32 GW)
25
Electricity Sources
• 18 GW on-shore wind = 54 GW Capacity
• 9 GW off-shore = 22.5 GW capacity
• 3 GW hydro
• 2 GW tidal
• 2 GW biomass
• LOTS OF JOBS!
• (4 million job-years manufacturing and installation plus
multiplier effects, average total jobs (20 yrs) ~ 1 million) 26
Electricity Capital Costs
• On-shore 54 GW = $135 billion
• Off-shore 22.5 GW = $90 billion
• Tidal 2 GW = $20 billion
• Biomass 2 GW = $4 billion
• Pumped Hydro 20 GW = $22 billion
• Total = $271 billion (over an ~20 year period)
27
Renewable Electricity Costs
• 32 GW delivered = 280,512 GWhr/year
• Capital = $271 billion
• Annual amortization costs = $21.7 billion
• O & M = $5.4 billion
• Total $27.1 billion or 9.6 cents Kwh
– Initial costs will be cheaper as the lower capital
cost technologies are Installed first
• This was the 2008 New York City/Long Island price for
generated electricity
28
Liquid Fuels Approach -
A 50% by 50% Plan
• Double gas mileage for same vehicle miles traveled
per year (vmty) - from 22 mpg to ~ 44 mpg
– Drops liquid fuel consumption by 50%
• Cut by fuel consuming car vmty by 50%
– Drops the remaining fuel consumption by 50%
• 25% of original fuel consumption rate
• Current liquid fuel consumption not possible to
supply with biofuels, nationwide OR statewide
29
New York Current Liquid Fuel
Consumption Rates
• 130 million barrels per year (mby) gasoline
• 40 mby diesel (cars, trucks, trains, heating oil)
• 30 mby kerosene (jet fuel, heating oil)
34
Estimated Fuel Production
Costs
• EtOH by fermentation = $2.20/gal
• EtOH cellulosic = $4.00/gal
• EtOH via H2 = $6.00/gal
– The low-cost technologies would be
installed first
– The higher priced ones could be installed
as petroleum price rises justify
35
Summary
• Tremendous stimulus for manufacturing
• Tremendous boost for rural areas
– Fuel crops, fuel manufacturing
– Stover
– Wind turbine lease income
• Provide stable and predictable electricity prices
• Eliminates all polluting electricity sources
• Eliminates money bleed for fossil fuel imports
• Path to eliminate petroleum usage/imports
36
Conclusion
• It is possible to make New York State renewably
powered in a generation
• It can’t happen with marginal pricing for energy
(electricity and liquid fuels)
• It can’t happen when polluting energy sources
set the prices for renewables
• For electricity without sensible pricing (FITs)
renewable electricity can’t happen in NY, USA
• If we don’t get renewable electricity based, our
economy stagnates and declines 37
