Woodland 3, Modesto, California, USA

The state of California is known for its amazing nature and climate. Being home to beautiful beaches, sandy deserts and redwood forests alike, it is hard to find a corner of the planet with comparable natural and climatic diversity. It’s certainly called the Golden State for a reason! But to keep it golden, its inhabitants and regulators are very aware that its fate cannot be left to chance. Climate change is a real threat, and biological degradation could pose a serious risk to an agricultural region that feeds well over 100 million people.

Arun, Sumatra, Indonesia

With a population of nearly 250 million and an economy that has grown at an average of 5.6 per cent a year over the last decade, Indonesia is hungry for power. To improve electrification and meet a demand that is expected to grow at 9-10 per cent per annum in the coming years, much of the new capacity that is being added is in the form of large baseload coal fired plant. However, building an optimum generating system that can also meet peak electricity demand is a challenge.
