Suggestion: Copper is everywhere in our cities How can we retreive it as fast and as easy as possible? (I don't mean stealing from the Dutch railways, that's no concept, that's already happening.) © 2009 - 2010 Gevleugelde Woorden

Why these examples? • Our size is not our key. • Our contribution to the European/Global need for energy is relatively low. But: • We can innovate. • We can make examples. © 2009 - 2010 Gevleugelde Woorden

WINDMILLS ON TRANSMISSION TOWERS

Algae Waste water, CO2, waste heat... In NL you can harvest algae after about 24 to 48 hours. Which can mean 140.000 kilo per year per hectare, 10 to 20 times more than conventional crops like corn or grain. (Ingrepro) © 2009 - 2010 Gevleugelde Woorden

Achterhoek: algen Waste water, manure or waste from food industry > bio reactor > methane + nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium, CO2 and heat > algae >>> Clean water, Co2 transferred, fuel, energy. Business case example: First: 12 million euro per year to get rid of waste. Now: 2 million income. Source: Ingrepro © 2009 - 2010 Gevleugelde Woorden

Active • Water/Air cleaner out than in. • Makes more energy than needed. • Re-use of materials. • Habitat for other species (incl. us: healty place to work/live). Source: WM+P © 2009 - 2010 Gevleugelde Woorden
