Renewable geared economies are more cost competitive than those who stayed with fossil fuels

Installation of central chilled water plant and storage system:

4

Air-conditioning accounts for 50-60 per cent of total electricity consumed (in JCU).

Principle: Chill water after hours, store and use during normal day hours, from a central tank.

This cold water tank is more efficient energy storage than a battery


The projection of power for JCU meant that 2010 would exceed capacity

Most of the cooling done by chillers /

air-con operating in this time

Current (2006-7) limit on power to the campus -9MW


Power profile after installation: result maximum demand now 5MW!

Cooling of the chilled water is now done after

hours


What impact is energy efficiency?

Typical energy losses - gas fired generation to light bulb


Innovation Discovery – the potential

The mining supply chains energy needs:

Fuel for transport (only 10% goes to the magnetite shipping) the rest is wasted fuel shipping waste.

30% rock waste

60% water

Today’s boat Australian port

10% magnetite

Magnetite requires beneficiation before it can be used in the steel making process and is a desirable and high quality product for steel mills.

Australia’s high value add process is a high energy consuming process where the long term cost of energy and its carbon production are key elements in sustainable competitiveness


The world’s most valuable solar resources

Solar PV

Solar Tower


Annual 50M wind speed over one decade

Some to the worlds most valuable wind resources


Valuable Geothermal resources

Hot rock Geothermal is different than that of New Zealand’s or Iceland’s Geothermal..... It is the result of mildly radioactive rocks covered by an insulating layer


Renewable energy sources

do not use water

The Pilbara exports a significant amount of energy in mineral products. Exports of aluminium metal from Australia alone embed some 25 TWh of electricity per year, about 9% of the country's total gross production.

Australia exports water and energy with every mineral tonne exported!

Exporting energy with minerals ALSO exports water (20L? per KW)

Does Western Australia want to be a price-taker or price setter?


1. Australia can value add with energy in the Pilbara2. Australia’s renewable’s are a sustainable competitive edge3. Renewable’s are our way of conserving water in the Pilbara4. The energy system needs storage, and we need new approaches5. Energy conservation and load shifting is required in energy delivery6. The energy system needs variable loads � water systems7. Water conservation and correlation with energy system needs to be

built into our city systems and delivery mechanisms in the Pilbara
