"Renewable Energy Cheaper Than Coal" - can Google really "google" alternative energy?

By Dan Lewis on November 27, 2025 9:37 PM | Permalink | Comments (0)

About every two to three weeks now, I get a showstopper of a story, that invites a lot more opinion than most and I'd suggest this is one of them. According to Reuters (albeit, via my Google news aggregator!) . . .

Google is lauching a project called "Renewable Energy Cheaper Than Coal" aimed at producing 1 gigawatt of renewable energy capacity.

(Well capacity is an easier target to beat in cost terms than load factor and you could probably do that now with onshore wind - more below). Apparently, The project, known as Renewable Energy Cheaper Than Coal, is " . . .hiring engineers and targeting investment financing at advanced solar thermal power, wind power technologies, enhanced geothermal systems and other new technologies" and " . . . working with its philanthropic arm Google.org, the company said it plans to spend tens of millions of dollars in 2008 on research and development and related efforts in renewable energy".

So here are a few observations;

i) As I wrote earlier in the year here, Google's founders, Sergey Brin and Larry Page's much heralded investment in Nanosolar two years ago is not anything like the success hoped for. Nanosolar must be pretty annoyed not to be included - anywhere - in this latest press release. I think that speaks volumes about the lessons learnt and the desire to diversify out of the non-falling costs of advanced solar pv story.
ii) Spending "Tens of millions of dollars in 2008" is not very much and will be way, way, short of the money they will need to spend on a gigawatt of off the shelf renewable electricity capacity - which would cost by my estimate;

$1.2 billion for onshore wind
$2 billion for offshore wind
$3 billion for geothermal
$5 billion for photovoltaic solar
$4 billion on concentrated solar power
$3 billion on hydropower

iii) Even then, that's nothing like enough money to change the dynamics or to "google" alternative energy. The metrics for the financial success of this ambitious project are just three;

a) the installed cost per watt
b) the levelized cost of those power stations output over 15 years (the typical length of a power purchase agreement)
c) the payback period in years

As I said earlier, the capacity cost of onshore wind is almost certainly cheaper than coal. But the real test is over a given period of time. That's why they need to think of it as a forward purchase of electricity in total gigawatt hours - relative to US coal. Frankly, a tough order, compared to fully amortised coal. Which makes me think Google might be looking for a spectacular breakthrough, rather than the lowest cost application of the lowest cost renewable energy technology. If that's the case then Google must absolutely stay way clear of anyone who says something like " . . . just invest enough in my technology to generate a big enough production run and I will easily reduce costs" which has been the graveyard of many investors.

Ok, I've said enough. Except that the odds of Google creating 1 gigawatt of "baseload" renewable electricity ideal for Google's server farms, rather than just setting up a low output gigawatt of intermittent power at lower cost are very slim for the next few years. And we are a long way from this 9 minute, entertaining and rather preposterous film on on youtube - Googlezon !

Australia gets ready for a massive push into Alternative Energy . . .

By Dan Lewis on November 23, 2025 11:45 AM | Permalink | Comments (0)

I don't like to get into politics on this website, less still opine on them. Investors should be above all that. But in a detached way, you can't ignore the shift (and the opportunity) that will occur in Australian alternative energy policy, assuming Kevin Rudd wins the Australian General Election tomorrow - not entirely certain.

This is what he said in his final plea to voters in a newspaper today;

"Labor will immediately ratify the Kyoto Protocol and establish Australia’s first national emissions trading scheme to provide the framework to meet a carbon target of reducing our greenhouse gas emissions by 60 per cent on 2000 levels by 2050. We will implement a renewable energy target of 20 per cent by 2020. Our $500 million renewable energy fund will help develop and commercialise solar, wind, geothermal and wave power projects, in addition to our $500 million national clean coal fund. We will set up a desalination and urban water recycling fund".

Considering that Australia, a fast-growing developed economy, generates roughly 9% of it's electricity - mostly hydro - from renewables, this target will be tough going. The headline story here though will probably be the Kyoto Protocol and the impact Oz will have on carbon trading.

Italy - a sleeping solar giant?

By Dan Lewis on November 22, 2025 5:01 PM | Permalink | Comments (0)

News today that Solon AG had won orders in Italy to build six solar power plants in the South East (probably just above the heel of the boot bit) with a a combined capacity of 52.4 MW got me thinking . . . is Italy, a comparatively wealthy, hot southern mediterranean country, Europe's sleeping solar giant?

There's a bit more detail on this story, but not much more, from Solon's website;

The additional points from their press release are;

". . . the agreement contains an option to construct a 100 MW plant between 2009 and 2011. Both tracked systems as well as fixed-tilt photovoltaic systems will be used in the projects. The Puglia region is one of the most attractive regions in Italy for building solar power plants due to its geographic location with around 1,400 hours of sunshine annually and the local legislation supporting the installation of photovoltaic systems."

It's instructive that for annual sunlight hours, this is almost exactly the same as London. That's why, respectfully, Solon's press release hasn't quite got it right. The killer fact here is the superior level of solar irradiation, measured here on this excellent EU map, entitled, Photovoltaic Solar Electricity Potential in European Countries. Clearly, the Puglia region is a winner, when measured as in the map by annual kilowatt hours per square metre from a 1kw system (optimally-inclined and south-orientated).

The result shows an annual yield from a square metre of;

1200 kilowatt hours for London
And at least 2000 kilowatt hours for Puglia

In other words, the same system in Puglia, will produce two-thirds more power than in London (or for that matter, most of Germany!). So next time you hear about a new solar plant in Europe, if you want to know how much power it will produce, check out these two metrics;

i) Region specific annual sunlight hours
ii) Region specific solar irradiation levels

and go figure !

The fuel cell powered UAV is coming . . . and you won't hear it !

By Dan Lewis on November 20, 2025 7:02 PM | Permalink | Comments (0)

An extremely cautious press release today from ITM Power about an exciting subject - fuel cells for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles or UAVs;

ITM has signed an agreement with Boeing Research & Technology Europe S.L. to prepare a Preliminary Design of an Environmentally Friendly Refuelling Station for Fuel Cell Powered Unmanned Air Vehicles.Jim Heathcote, CEO ITM Power, said:

"We are pleased to be working with Boeing and believe this is an interesting agreement for both parties. At the moment, this does not imply a commercial tie-up, does not guarantee any on-going commercial relationship and is a small financial transaction, but it does represent early stage commercial revenues for ITM."

The application for UAVs so far has been almost entirely military or for general security and observation purposes. They are still small and it is highly unlikely that the largest UAVs like the Predator, let alone the Global Hawk will use anything but jet fuel for some time to come. Yet it is the micro UAVs - under 5 kilos in weight - and the class just above it have great potential for fuel cells.

If you're in any doubt about this, next time you see a remote-controlled plane, notice how noisy the little engine is. Hence the case for a fuel cell.

ITM and Boeing will be facing quite a few competitors - not least this record breaking micro fuel cell UAV here which recently completed a record flight of 178 miles and with a fuel cell power density of over 480 watt hours per kilo;

listen to how quiet it is !

Can Novozymes' enzymes make the breakthrough for cellulosic bioethanol?

By Dan Lewis on November 19, 2025 8:24 PM | Permalink | Comments (0)

Not quite yet or for a good few years. . . at least that's the conclusion I've drawn from this must-read interview - as published by Ethanol Statistics today - a tour de force of the state of cellulosic bioethanol - with Emmanuel Petiot of Denmark's Novozymes, pretty much the investor's only cellulosic biofuel play available on world markets today.

For those of you who aren't familiar with the argument for cellulosic ethanol, it goes like this;

First generation ethanol is all about growing starch or sugar-based food crops like corn and sugarcane and converting a small fraction of the plant into ethanol. This is very wasteful, from an input, output perspective, but still the lowest cost method. With genetically engineered enzymes, potentially all plant biomass, not just parts of food crops but even wood residues, could be converted into bioethanol. At a stroke, second generation cellulosic bioethanol could overcome the food v. fuel crisis stoking inflation today, by massively increasing the amount of useful biomass that could be converted into fuel. That's the promise of second generation biofuel technology and Novozymes is leading the charge.

I don't think Ethanol Statistics (a very good site) will mind if I summarize some of what I think are the key points from the interview;

The falling cost of enzymes: Mr. Petiot says. “Between 2000 and 2004 we have reduced the cost of enzymes in lab scale by 30 fold, including a 6 fold reduction directly derived from the specific activity of our enzymes".

How far cost have to fall: " . . . currently, total production costs are between 3 and 4 dollar per gallon" and to match first generation ethanol, that will have to fall to about $1 per gallon

When we will see cellulosic bioethanol: " . . . I don’t think there will be a clear winner in cellulosic technology in four years time. However, I do think that, within this time line, several plants will produce ethanol from ligno-cellulosic feedstock, from agricultural residues, wood residues and probably a few from industrial waste".

So there you go. The big picture is that progress is continuing apace, but no miracle discovery will be commercially available in the coming years. But if anyone can do it, my view is that Novozymes , with a 50% market share in the enzymes currently used in ethanol production - will be first.

Honda quietly rolls back ambitions for the FCX

By Dan Lewis on November 15, 2025 10:18 PM | Permalink | Comments (0)

What a shame !

A couple of weeks after stealing the limelight at the Tokyo Motor Show, with an announcement of the 2008 release of its FCX car, Honda is now putting the FCX into reverse. Far from being a global-wide release, only people living in the Torrance, Santa Monica, and Irvine areas of southern California will be able to buy one, as these are the only places that the Clarity can be easily refuelled and serviced. In other words, very competitive price apart, the FCX looks as if it may join the long list of alternative energy cars with plenty of hype and very little take up - exhibit A of course would be GM's electric car.

The other bit that makes me wonder is Honda's Home Energy Station - is this not over-engineering?

You'll notice that they have developed this in association with Plug Power , a stock which has been enjoying a good recovery since September. Wouldn't it be much cheaper to set up a home electrolysis kit, powered by (at least in the UK and USA) either overnight Hydro or Nuclear from the mains, fuelled by some distilled water?

Anyway, Plug Power have also partnered with another big friend, to commercialize an on-vehicle hydrogen production system for use in a fuel cell-powered lift truck application. This differs from the Home Energy System by taking liquid fuels such " . . . as gasoline, diesel, ethanol or biodiesel and convert them into hydrogen onboard the vehicle where it will be used in a fuel cell power train". Apparently, " . . . this has the potential to be up to 80% more fuel efficient than today's internal combustion engine technologies and reduce CO2 emissions by up to 45%".

That really does sound quite promising. And one can't get too down about the availability of the FCX; progress is anything but a straight line heading upwards. There will always be setbacks and disappointments on the road to commercial success.

First Solar, the AEI Performance Champion - takes a 14% tumble yesterday, up nearly 6% today

By Dan Lewis on November 13, 2025 4:06 PM | Permalink | Comments (0)

First Solar, the top performer of the year so far, has been giving its investors a google-like ascent up the stock index. A staggering 498% since the beginning of the year until COB yesterday and up 5.84% today. It's also looking a bit toppy at the moment, down 14% yesterday and up as much as 8.5% today. It reminds me of Hoku Scientific , another solar company, which earlier in the year had massive upside and some spills too . . .

Anyway, if you want to know what's so special about First Solar, their first FUSP (fairly unique selling point) is their thin film solar, pictured here, which is silicon free, using cadmium telluride.

As a backgrounder to thin film, I suggest reading this very digestible and informative piece here written earlier this year by J. Peter Lynch on thin film solar stocks and their technologies. In hindsight, and not wishing to be overtly critical, it looks a little too bullish. 2007 has not been the year of thin film, but it is starting to get noticed. Heavy crystalline silicon is still king, by a very long way in solar photovoltaics.

Now back to First Solar which has been in a dealmaking and capacity expansion frenzy of late. The most interesting and little reported fact of all their publicity lately has been that "... manufacturing costs are at an extremely competitive $1.19 per watt"

That's a very big deal, because as I posted last year on solar costs in response to a piece published in the Economist, the lowest reported manufacturing costs were then $ 2.70 per watt. Still, whilst this may be helping First Solar's margins, we are still not seeing a fall in the retail cost across the industry - essential to achieving grid parity, i.e. where the cost of distributed home solar power equals that of retail electricity. That is born out by the Solar Buzz index here, which shows the retail cost of modules per watt peak and no change to speak of over the previous 12 months. Indeed, it is even more expensive than 3-4 years ago. Confusingly however, I believe the index was recalculated over the last year as these figures back then were an average $1 higher.

So all in all, one must have great patience in waiting for the solar breakthrough.

Installation costs are certainly not going to come down soon because it is so labour intensive. All that really counts to the owner is the fully installed cost per watt and the annual yield in % that it generates. Efficiencies may be rising, still incrementally by 1 % a year or so. But this does not feed through to a greatly increased load factor, still only 10% in the world's solar market leader, Germany. Last year, Germany produced 0.3% of its electricity from solar pv, so there's still a very long way to go there, let alone for everyone else . . . !

3 new Australian stocks on AEI . . . and more to come

By Dan Lewis on November 12, 2025 8:22 AM | Permalink | Comments (0)

The image of the unemployed Australian who likes nothing better than surfing, beers and barbecue has been transformed by the strength of the economy, their currency and increasingly, a fast-rising alternative energy sector.

No question, Australian commerce has done very well over the last 10 years and no one seriously doubts that this will continue, pending the election on November 18th. We've all heard about the amazing mineral resources of this sparsely populated, continent-sized nation. Yet alternative energy investors should play close heed to their emerging alternative energy plays and also, assuming you're coming out of dollars, the ongoing strength of the Aussie dollar. That's because . . .

The AUD has just about doubled in value since April 2001 against the USD.

Anyway, here are those 3 new stocks (all listed on the ASX) and I have to say, they're a very eclectic mix;

Wind Hydrogen Ltd, which IPO'ed in September, has some proprietary technology for converting wind-powered electricity into hydrogen via electrolysis
ZBB Energy, which stands for Zinc Bromine Batteries - used in backup for intermittent renewables
Solco Ltd, which make solar heating, solar pumps and solar power products

Will the price of oil reach $100 today?

By Dan Lewis on November 8, 2025 9:48 AM | Permalink | Comments (0)

Actually I hoped it would yesterday, because that was the condition for me appearing on Al-Jazeera TV and talking about it's impact on alternative energy etc. Perhaps it was too much to anticipate that on the day the IEA produced its annual World Energy Outlook.

Still, as I said in the Guardian;

"Higher oil prices always get more publicity, but since 2003, the cost of other energy commodities like coal, uranium and gas have risen much faster. All of these are far more powerful investment signals for alternative energy than the price of carbon ever will be"

Meanwhile, Altairnano, a company who's fast charging NanoSafe lithium ion batteries I greatly admire, has just been testing them out on a Fiat Doblo, pictured here. A Fiat by the way, is not highly rated for its reliability and consistently comes near bottom in customer service satisfaction surveys.

So getting electric power and lots of non-moving parts into Fiats (which Germans like to say stands for "Fehler in alle Teile" or "mistakes in every part") strikes me as a very good move.

The test saw the vehicle driven 300km in one day, with 3 ten minute recharges. The tests are continuing The lithium-ion Doblò will be driven an estimated total of 7,500 kilometers (4,660 miles) during the 60-day demonstration period, which translates to an annual equivalent use of 45,000 kilometers (28,000 miles).

LDK Solar - what's going on?

By Dan Lewis on November 7, 2025 5:28 PM | Permalink | Comments (0)

I've just been made aware by a subscriber to my newsletter (have you subscribed yet? Do so, it's free!) that they feel there's something missing in AEI for not having yet given mention to the unfolding story over LDK Solar. My view then, as now, was that everyone else had it pretty much covered. And yet, as the reader correctly said, the LDK story makes for good drama !

So what's going on with LDK Solar?

Basically, it's all to do with an allegation of accounting fraud dating from September of this year, specifically the quantity of high-grade silicon feedstock and it is hitting the stock price bad.

Mr Situ, a former financial controller at LDK, is questioning whether the inventory figures published in LDK's financial statements matched those to its ledgers, alleging a shortcoming of 250 tons. Assuming these are metric tons, at a very conservative estimate, silicon from the spot market costs $100 per kg, sometimes double that, so we are looking at an inventory shortfall worth at least $25 million. Two days ago, a US law firm launched a Class Action Lawsuit against LDK Solar for failing to disclose that it had significantly less feedstock inventory than it claimed to have.

No question, it's all makes for high drama. Just take a look at the 1 year chart - pretty spectacular volatility, I'm sure you'll agree. No wonder, this stock is being so closely watched . . .

Ballard seeks exit from light vehicle fuel cells - Daimler or Ford may be buyers

By Dan Lewis on November 6, 2025 11:32 AM | Permalink | Comments (0)

STOP THE PRESS - the industry's champion of the fuel cell vehicle WANTS OUT !

According to the Detroit Free Press, Ballard is in talks with Daimler and Ford to sell their long-struggling fuel cell unit. A major reason cited is ". . .the lengthy projected timeline to commercialization and high cost of development".

It's all such a long way from the breathless optimism of the late 1990s, which culminated in the publication of this book Powering the Future: The Ballard Fuel Cell and the Race to Change the World. Whatever race Ballard thought they were in, it looks like they lost some time ago. It speaks volumes as well that just after Honda announces the world's first industrial production run for a fuel cell vehicle, the FCX, Ballard is throwing in the towel. Meanwhile, Ford, which owns an 11.2% stake in Ballard, is in the third year of a test that has put 30 hydrogen fuel cell-powered Focus cars on the road. And apparently, Daimler, which owns an 18.7% stake in Ballard, reportedly intends to mass produce fuel cell vehicles by 2012 to 2015. Even GM, probably the weakest of the big three, aims to develop a cost-competitive hydrogen fuel cell vehicle by 2010.

Some of the early FCX test vehicles were powered by Ballard's Mark902 fuel cell stack, pictured here.

The jury's out on the FCX until we see it on the roads. But I suspect that the main culprits for the demise of the fuel cell making it into our driveways since Ballard entered the scene, are the unanticipated success and relatively low cost of hybrids like the Prius, major advances in electrical batteries and above all, big auto firms biting off more than they could chew in trying to completely replace the internal combustion engine - over 100 years in development and still going very strong.

Still, in toiling so long on fuel cell development, Ballard can point to having done a lot of the hard work for everyone else.

California ain't dreamin . . . a lot of CSP is coming thanks to Ausra, Arnie and PG&E;

By Dan Lewis on November 5, 2025 6:16 PM | Permalink | Comments (0)

Pacific Gas and Electric Corp, an energy company with substantial hydro assets, is looking to massively increase its portfolio of Concentrated Solar Power Stations, sometimes wrongly described as Solar Thermal, by up to 1 Gigawatt over the next 5 years.

The very latest news is that Pacific Gas and Electric has entered into a contract to buy 177 megawatts of CSP power from a plant that will be built by Ausra.Ausra incidentally, are well worth a closer look - see their website here. For a start, you'll notice that their CSP mirrors pictured are flat and instead of heating up molten salts stored in a power tower, they merely boil water and pipe the steam off to turn a turbine. It is the most simple of CSP designs, probably the least expensive and is known as a Fresnel Mirror System.

California is clearly set for a big expansion of baseload capable renewables like CSP. Wind and solar pv will struggle to meet all by themselves the growing electricity demand of a dynamic economy, not to mention the ambitious renewable energy targets of the Governator, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Meanwhile, the expansion potential in CSP is at least as great in Australia, where Ausra is based and a new government beckons. Some believe, that whoever wins in Australia, Rudd or Howard, that enormous continent is on the verge of embracing alternative energy technologies with a vengeance.
