French-German partnership achieves
46% PV conversion efficiency in the lab

Hybrid power plant with 600 kW of solar
power was commissioned in Berlin

Organization: Soitec (France), CEA-Leti (France), Fraunhofer ISE (Germany)

Organization: GE (Germany), Kofler Energies (Germany), BELECTRIC (Germany)

France-based semiconductor maker Soitec and technology firm CEA-Leti inpartnership with Germany-based Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems
have tested a multi-junction photovoltaic cell that converts 46% of solar light into
electrical energy. The achievement marks a new world record for PV conversion
efficiency. Japan's National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science andTechnology has verified the claim.

The project partners GE, Kofler Energies, and BELECTRIC have commissioned ahybrid power plant with 600 kW of PV power, a 400 kW gas CHP plant, and a battery
array with 200 kWh charge capacity at GE Power Conversion production site in
Berlin-Marienfelde. The project breaks new ground in the area of innovative,
decentralized energy supply. The conventional energy portion is not drawn from thegrid, but is generated by the CHP plant on site. The battery buffers excess energy, andan energy management system controls the output of the hybrid power plant to meetdemand. The plant will not only supply power and heat to the GE Power Conversion
production site in Berlin-Marienfelde, Germany, but will also feed power into the grid.

CETO 5 Wave Energy Farm commences
operations in Australia
Organization: Carnegie Wave Energy Limited (Australia)
The Australian company Carnegie Wave Energy Limited has announced that athree-unit array of its CETO 5 wave energy generator has been completed and isoperating at the Perth Wave Energy Project, located off Garden Island in Western
Australia. The CETO system differs from other wave energy systems because it
operates under water where it is protected from severe storms and is invisible fromthe shore. The fully submerged buoys can drive seabed pump units to deliver
high-pressure fluid onshore through a subsea pipe to standard hydroelectric
turbines, generating zero-emission electricity. The high-pressure water can also be
used to supply a reverse osmosis desalination plant, replacing or reducing relianceon the fossil fuel power driven pumps usually required for such plants. If
successful, construction is expected to start of a larger commercial-scale version 3 MW CETO 6 wave farm - in 2016.

The MHI Vestas V164-8.0 MW prototype turbine broke the record for power
production by a wind turbine during a 24-hour period from 6-7 October 2014 when
the turbine produced 192,000 kWh under steady wind conditions at a test site inØsterild, northern Denmark. The power produced by the turbine in one day wasenough to supply the energy needs of approximately 13,500 Danish households.
The world's most powerful turbine combines a mix of cutting-edge and innovative
solutions in a largely evolutionary design and scaling process. MHI Vestas Offshore
Wind has already signed a stream of contracts for the turbine to be used in a large
number of offshore wind projects, such as 450 MW for the “Borkum Riffgrund 2”
project in Germany and 630 – 970 MW for the Navitus Bay project in the UK.

Toyota Launches First Commercial FCV,MIRAI

Organization: EU transmission companies (EU)Organization: Toyota (Japan, US)
Toyota has launched MIRAI, the first commercial hydrogen vehicle poised for mass
production. In addition to the vehicle's introduction in Japan in December 2014,
Toyota has launched MIRAI in the U.S., and will be available from the fall of 2015.
After the introduction in these two markets, additional markets will follow. MIRAI isa 4 door, mid-size fuel cell sedan with performance that fully competes withtraditional internal combustion engines, and it refuels in 3–5 minutes, and travels
up to 300 miles (482 km) on a full tank, thus overcoming many of the hurdles thatEVs are currently facing in gaining recognition from ordinary consumers.

The European Union has been driving for a common energy market (Internal Energy
Market, IEM) since the 1990s. Connections are increasing; the latest projects include
the Italy-France transmission line (announced in April 2015, 1.2 GW), U.K.-Norway
transmission line (announced in March 2015, 4 GW). Apart from ever increasingtransmission capacity, most of the west and northern European electricity markets
were price coupled in late 2014, with the rest of the markets slated to join in 2015 or2016. This means that electricity can be traded between markets using the same
rules, and the buyers and sellers won’t have to take into consideration transmission
constraints, maximizing the use of available transmission capacity, and the possibility
to send energy that originates from variable generation between regions.

Innovation for Cool Earth Forum

3rd Annual Meeting
Date: October 5-6, 2016

Venue: Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo, Japan

ICEF2015 ReportGreetings
The first decade of the 21st century have been warmer than any
preceding period since global temperature records began in 1850
and it is extremely likely that human influence has been the dominantcause of the observed warming, according to the latest IPCC
reports. Climate change is a challenge that humanity is facing at thisvery moment, not in the future.
In 2007, I, as Prime Minister of Japan, proposed a 50% reduction of
global greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Innovation is the key toachieving this ambitious goal and it is essential for governments, businesses, and academia
around the world to share their wisdom and closely cooperate with each other.
Based on this concept, I proposed the establishment of a new international conference
where the world’s leading policy makers, business persons, and researchers can meetand cooperate with each other to address climate change through innovation. This is an
unprecedented attempt, an energy- and environment-focused version of the World Economic
Forum.
It would be very beneficial if you, who are at the forefront of one of the biggest challenges
to humanity, climate change, and are responsible for shaping the future of the earth, would
participate in this forum. I hope to see you in Tokyo.
