NRV Plant Approach – Pathway to Carbon Neutral in SW Virginia
Step 1 – Conservation – The Low Hanging Fruit
Amory Lovins – RMI – European model of energy efficiency would achieve Kyoto Protocol for U.S.
Be Energy Efficient First before pursuing Carbon Neutral technologies
– Take Inventory of Opportunities at your site
Be Cost Efficient when saving energy – See DOE web sites for ideas
Know Your Capital Investment Environment
– ROI of less than 2 years for energy
Carbon Neutral where Coal is King and Energy is Cheap
– Examine Wind / Solar / Biomass / Hydro

Our Driver?
For the New River Valley Plant:
Performance based contracts
Return on investment (ROI) period
– Less than two years
For the other Volvo Group Plants:
Do-it-yourself…but years later.
Do you really want to wait, find time to do-it-yourself…
or benefit now with the bottom line?

Wind Turbine
Volvo contracted with Chesapeake Renewable to install 10kw wind turbine in order to perform wind study.
Wind turbine cost $36,000. Feed power back into the grid (AEP is our battery).
Volvo received varying estimates (from experts) to install solar/wind. Upwards of $2 million for wind and $200k for solar to perform the same task as the $36,000 wind turbine (Stay involved, do your homework, and think for yourself) .
Wind turbine installed June 2007.

Wind Turbine
Wind Turbine tied into the AEP grid in late October 2007
Produced 4000 kW/h of electricity as of July 2008
Cut power bill by 38%
Average wind Speed at hub (80’) as of July is 8.55 mph - Goal is 12 mph
Expect 12 mph at 140 feet

IN SUMMARY
Find the organizational driver, is it:
– Financial, or
– Environmental, or Other
Find a Champion at the operating/task level
Find management support and commitment. Contracted work helps confirm commitment. Allow plenty of time for Legal review!
Recordkeeping is important – Provides metrics and feedback
For energy and carbon reductions, develop baseline data before project is implemented. May need 3rd party certification.
IT’S EASIER THAN YOU THINK!
