High tech entrepreneurs here repeatedly tell you that Israel is a small market, so if you hope to have your idea become a commercial success, from the start it must be designed and developed with other countries and cultures in mind.\u00a0 What is true for software is also true for innovative ideas for sustainable living.\u00a0 The Jacob Blaustein Institute for Desert Research, a program of the Ben-Gurion University<\/a>\u00a0of the Negev was established in 1974 to facilitate the sustainable development of the Negev desert \u2013 an area comprising 60% of Israel\u2019s total land mass – but quickly established itself as one of the world\u2019s leading research institutions on the challenges of living sustainably on the world\u2019s many dry lands.\u00a0 Professor Pedro Berliner, the director of the Institute tells the story of how they discovered that planting acacia trees in close proximity to crops like wheat or maize produces better results for both trees and crop than if planted apart.\u00a0 The idea was piloted in Kenya and is now being brought to Botswana, where the Blaustein Institute hopes to develop a permanent presence in partnership with one of Botswana\u2019s existing universities.\u00a0 This is a good reminder that simple, low-tech solutions can often make a big difference to both people and the planet.<\/p>\n

Of course, when it comes to energy, things are rarely ever simple.\u00a0 Professor David Faiman, Chair of the Department of Solar Energy & Environmental Physics at the Blaustein Institute, spent the rest of the morning explaining the challenges of bringing solar energy to scale.\u00a0 For over 30 years, Dr. Faiman has pioneered research into concentrated solar, and a commercial product based on his research, manufactured and marketed by Zenith Solar<\/a>, shows tremendous promise for raising efficiency, lowering cost, and greatly reducing the physical footprint of commercially meaningful quantities of solar electricity.\u00a0 Dr. Faiman would surely be both embarrassed and amused to be called a solar energy rock star, but I\u2019ll call him that all the same.<\/p>\n

Equally exciting is the work Dr. Faiman has been doing to conceptualize what would be required to transition Israel\u2019s electric grid to renewable energy.\u00a0 Dr. Faiman, like\u00a0many Israelis I\u2019ve met on this trip, is both a visionary and a realist.\u00a0 On the one hand, he believes it is possible for Israel to get to 90 percent\u00a0renewable energy based on solar, energy storage, and natural gas-fired generation, but on the other hand, he believes it could take 60 years to get there.\u00a0 His primary point is that Israel needs to start the transition now for there to be any hope of making even a 60 year deadline.\u00a0 This means phasing out coal (which Israel continues to depend on quite a bit) and staying away from nuclear, both of which are too inflexible for a renewable-centric world.\u00a0 Investments in natural-gas fired generation might be ok, as some of these facilities would likely be required to recharge the energy storage systems that would perform the lion\u2019s share of the work in-filling where solar output is unavailable or varies.\u00a0 His overarching concern is that Israel will continue to make short-term decisions that lead to the construction of conventional energy infrastructure, such as new coal plants (a proposal for a new plant was only narrowly defeated two years ago)\u00a0 that all but lock the nation into a long-term future of fossil fuel dependence and high carbon pollution.<\/p>\n

After a short visit to the research facility of Brightsource, a concentrating solar energy provider active in the United States, we began our hour and a half journey back to Tel Aviv.\u00a0 As the bus rumbled along, I reflected on the irony that in a land of all this energy technology innovation, so little of it is actually deployed in Israel.\u00a0 Indeed, practically the only place you see solar photovoltaic panels deployed in Israel are on the ramshackle homes of the Bedouin, who for a variety of reasons, are not otherwise connected to Israel\u2019s electric grid.\u00a0 Tel Aviv may be a sophisticated, high tech capital, but it is the agrarian, socially-traditional Bedouin, who is light years ahead when it comes to embracing advanced energy technology.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve now asked several Israelis why this is, and two answers stick out\u00a0in my mind.\u00a0 The first is that Israel is a place where everyone focuses on the near term, because the future is so unpredictable.\u00a0 Random rocket attacks (a rocket slammed into Beersheva this morning about a half hour after we checked out of our hotel there) and sudden outbreaks of serious fighting certainly contribute to a \u201clive for this moment\u201d attitude.\u00a0 \u00a0The second answer is tied to the first.\u00a0 As one Israeli explained to me, after the Yom Kippur War in 1973, Israel, like the rest of the world suffered the consequences of high oil prices and invested in renewable energy, but as oil prices fell, the government came to view renewable deployment as expensive and unnecessary.\u00a0\u00a0 The recent experience of the oil embargo notwithstanding, the energy minister at the time concluded that Israel\u2019s energy requirements will always be so small in the general scheme of things that even in times of global shortage there will always be fossil fuels available somewhere, albeit at a price.\u00a0 In short, Israel did not have an energy supply problem, it had a money problem, and the only challenge was to find the cheapest of available options.<\/p>\n

Fast forward to today.\u00a0 The Egyptian natural gas pipeline that carried 40 percent\u00a0of Israel\u2019s natural gas supply was blown up this spring.\u00a0 And, what is the response?\u00a0 The Israel Electric Company simply switched to purchasing fuel oil and coal while it waits for the nation\u2019s significant new offshore gas reserves to come on line.\u00a0 A triumph for short term thinking in a nation that sells its visionary clean energy technologies to the rest of the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
