SUSTAINABLE ENERGY FROM THE OCEAN Presentation to the Japan American Society on 15 May 2013 Gary Noland G. Noland & Associates, Inc. Office: (925) 462 ‐ 8701 Mobile: (925) 623 ‐ 8755 gary@gnoland ‐ associates.com www.gnoland ‐ associates.com

Recent OTEC News Reignwood Group and Lockheed Martin sign Memorandum of Agreement in May 2013 to develop 10 MW floating OTEC Plant to power new resort on Hainan Island

Japanese Energy Consumption • 1 Exajoule = 10 18 Joules = 293 TWh • • Total energy consumed 16 EJ o Transport is 25% o Household is 25% o Industry is 50% • Total Energy is 16 x 293 TWh = 4,688 TWh/yr • Cost to Import Energy (T Yen) o Oil = $ 15.1 o Coal = $ 1.9 o LNG = $ 6.6 o Total =$ 23.6

Energy Consumption by Fuel Type • I GW OTE = 8 TWh/yr • Oil = 264 OTE Plants • Coal = 129 OTE Plants • Natural Gas = 100 OTE Plants • Total Number of OTE Plants needed to replace all these fuels is 492 • Assume each plant is $6B USD • 500 Plants x $6B = $3T USD • Tens of Millions of jobs • Ammonia infrastructure • Transport ships • Eliminates about 1.1 GMt/yr of CO 2 from the atmosphere
