Purposes

• Are there chances in renewable energy trade?
• Renewable energy trade contents
• Trade bases
• What are differences on the renewable energy
  industries?
• What are barriers?
• How do we solve and predicate the problems

4
Research methods

• Comparative analysis of present situation of
  renewable energy industries of New Zealand and
  China
• To research the reasons of differences on the
  renewable energy applications

5
Definition and classification

• Renewable energy
• Renewable energy equipments
• Equipments related to renewable energy
• Paid technology transfer

6
Renewable energy trade 1

• Directly renewable energy trade
• renewable energy products
• Biomass (pellets, bio-diesel, fuel alcohol,
  and others)

7
Renewable energy trade 2

• Special equipments for renewable energy
  production (directly change energy forms).
• Wind
• Solar-E (solar-thermal, PV)
• Hydro- (on the sea, and on the ground)
• Biofuel
• Geothermal

8
Renewable energy trade 3

• Related equipments for renewable energy
• Control electronic devices
• Computer system
• Storage devices (batteries, tanks)
• Gensit or flywheel engine

9
Renewable energy trade 4

• Paid technology (intellectual property) transfer
• Direct transfer (the technology used on
  commercial products)
• New technologies
• New product design
• Indirect transfer (the technology is developing )
  
• Collaborated results compensable utilities

10
Base of renewable energy trade

• Differences of developed renewable energy
  industries
• Different requirement of energy forms
• Price competition
• How to find market of product on the other side

11
Differences

• Policy and strategy of governments
• Environment and resources
• (In case studies)
• Industry structure of renewable energy
• Technology standards

12
Energy Consumption

• New Zealand Energy and Renewable Energy
• (from http//www.med.govt.nz (2003)

13
Energy Consumption

• China Energy and Renewable Energy

14
CHINA ENERGY DEVELOPMENT (first energy resources)
15
2020 aim of China renewable energy

• Renewable energy rate will be 16 of total energy
  production

• China turns to renewables to solve needs  
• Monday July 17, 2006By Alison Leug 
• HONG KONG - China is set to spend US200 billion
  (322 billion) on renewable energy over the next
  15 years and industry players are racing to grab
  a slice of the action.

16
Policies of China for development and deployment
of renewable energy production (2020)

• Hydro electricity generator ability 300,gW
• Wind electricity generator ability 30,gW
• Biofuel electricity generator ability 30,gW
• Solar electricity PV ability 1.8gW
• Solar thermal collector 300 Mega square meter
• Biogas 44.3 Giga-cube-meter
• Fuel Alcohol 10 Mega-t
• Bio-diesel 2 Mega-t

17
Projections of NZ for development and deployment
of renewable energy production (2020)
18
Main differences to promote trade

• Difference 1
• Policies of New Zealand and China for development
  and deployment of renewable energy production
• Research and development

• Difference 2
• Present situation of equipment manufactures

19
Secondary factors

• Difference 3
• Features of local resident energy consumption

• Difference 4
• Characteristic of renewable energy resource and
  environment

20
Other factors

• f.    Environment protection pressure
• g.   International policies "Kyoto protocol"
  and "Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)
• CO2 trade market
• However, the projects is not restricted on NZ
  and China

22
Products trade process problems between China and
New Zealand (1)

• a.      Trade process
• Information
• Ease of exporting and importing products
• Customs classifications
• Import restrictions
• b.      General commercial and technological
  standard of products
• Between China GB and ANZ standards (or AS)
• Labeling of products is an important part of
  controlling imports

23
Products trade process problems between China and
New Zealand (2)

• c.   Efficiency of economic comparing with
  manufacture
• d.   Service and insurance
• e.   Changing, saving and compensating value to
  traditional real estate reformed on renewable
  energy

24
Products trade process problems between China and
New Zealand (3)

• f.    Environment conservation and effects
• g.   International policies "Kyoto protocol"
  and "Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)
• h.   Education and training
• i. Commercial propagation

25
Solution methods (with case studies)

• Manufacturer provide on the user requirements
• Intermediate trade agent
• Collaboration developing new types

26
Outline
27
Commercialized equipments in renewable energy
industry

• Hydro turbine-generator (river and tide)
• Gas turbine-generator (geothermal)
• Wind turbine-generator
• PV
• Solar-thermal collector (solar water heater,
  solar air heater)

28
Special developed equipments(Ocean wave, OTEC,
High-T Solar thermal collector)

• Pre-commercialized equipments that they do not
  have a stable standard of energy transfer
  equipments or partly
• Price depend on research costs
• And Intellectual property

29
