CRI/Criterion has deployed high-throughput tools for formulation of new catalyst compositions, and for testing the performance of the catalysts in several applications. This ability allows for screening of a large number of catalysts in a very short amount of time, significantly reducing the time required for catalyst development. The high-throughput screening ability has been proven in several areas of CRI/Criterion’s businesses, including chemicals and refining. High-throughput screening tools are equally, if not more, valuable in speedy deployment of biofuels and biochemicals from the lab to the market. Here we provide an overview of a program for rapid catalyst and process development to convert a mixed alcohol feed into gasoline and kerosene range hydrocarbons.
A one day symposium on zero/low carbon sustainable homes took place at The University of Nottingham on the 24th October, 2012. The event offered professionals within the construction industry a unique opportunity to gain added and significant insight into the innovations, policies and legislation which are driving the construction of zero/low carbon energy efficient homes both here in the UK and elsewhere in Europe. It explored solutions to sustainability issues “beyond” the zero carbon agenda. BZCH followed on from the successful ‘Towards Zero Carbon Housing’ symposium the University hosted in 2007. This event is part of the Europe Wide Ten Act10n project which is supported by the European Commission Intelligent Energy Europe.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

Evaluation Biopark Terneuzen
Innovation strategy: Vital Clusters
Project period: May 2006 – September 2008 (final report received on January 20, 2009)
Project director: Peter Smeets
Project number: VC-029
1. Background to the project
Agroparks offer great opportunities to realise substantial sustainability gain due to their spatial clustering,
closing cycles of energy and matter and reduction of transport. They apply principles of industrial ecology.
Co-operation between greenhouse farming and agro-processing industry (ethanol- and fertiliser
production, manure processing) is the opportunity that is taken in the port area of Terneuzen.
The aim of Biopark Terneuzen is to establish connections between activities of existing and new agro-
industrial companies in Terneuzen Port area, in order to increase employment, attract new business,
decrease environmental emissions and increase companies profits, all of which shoul take form as an
integrated agropark.
By doing so Biopark Terneuzen addresses more general issues that contribute to sustainable development
of agriculture:
o Efficient space use to develop new greenhouses, which are able to process CO2 from other
industries.
o Processing rest products of arable chains, that until now have been handles as waste
o Processing pig manure from an expanding pig growing industry in the Zeeland hinterland
o Producing dry organic manure that can be applied during spring in order to reduce field
losses
o Producing biodiesel and bio-ethanol from agricultural waste.
2. Key knowledge issues
TransForum has supported the feasibility study of the above described ambition. Not only in technical
terms but also in organisational and communicative terms.
Technical and economic aspects of feasibility have been inquired by scientific institutes covering following
aspects:
o Greenhouse horticulture, energy and CO2
o Can CO2 from fertiliser and bio-ethanol producing industries be used in green-
houses. Are amounts produced sufficient?
o Do the processing industries produce sufficient heat for greenhouses?
o What back-up systems are needed?
o Water management
o Is it possible to use any processing water from industry for irrigation in
greenhouses?
o Redesign of general water management on basis of new water purification plant
o Biomass
o What existing flows of biomass can be applied in the new co-digestor
o How can digestate be used as organic fertiliser or as fuel in bio-energy installations

Organisational aspects of present and future co-operation have been discussed, resulting in concrete
agreements on co-operation, of which many have been fixed in contracts and new companies.
Project participants were Zeeland Seaports, Ecoservice Europe Ltd, Nedalco, Yara, the Municipalities of
Terneuzen and Gent, the Provinces of Zeeland and Vlaanderen (Belgium), TransForum, ZLTO, the
Universities of Amsterdam, Nijmegen and Wageningen, Kortrijk College, Meersma Project Development
and Van de Bunt Adviseurs.
Cultural differences between all these participants were many. They have been identified during the
working process but have not been described in a scientific publication.
3. Project outcome
The general outcome of the project is the network of participating companies that have established or are
implementing a more sustainable practice as a result of co-operation inspired by principles of clustering an
industrial ecology. This is an ongoing process. Most recently the participating parties have successfully
applied for a Eu-regio subsidised project aimed at building a bio-refinery pilot plant and connected to that
a new polytechnic training course for process engineers, based on a co-operation between Zeeland
Polytechnic and University of Ghent.
Specific outcomes of the TransForum project were following:
1. General hardware design of the project based on detailed feasibility studies
Based on studies as mentioned above (Greenhouse horticulture, energy and CO2, Water management
Biomass) the physical lay out of industrial ecology network has been integrally designed and is being
implemented. A 200 ha area for greenhouse growing has been assigned and is being implemented.
2. Relevant Orgware-issues have been identified, discussed and many of them solved.
Basic agreements between partners regarding share of power, revenues and costs were easy to reach
during the design phase (this project) under the inspiring and efficient leadership of Zeeland Seaports and
the process management of Van de Bunt. Organisational and juridical structures (loose network
structures, daughter companies, alliances) between parties have been implemented to cope with these
issues during operation. Biopark Terneuzen itself has now been established as a foundation between four
public parties and one member of the board representing the participating companies. Two separate
companies (WarmCo en WaterCO) have been established for management of heat, water and CO2).
3. Ambition strategy
3. our reference date page
10-249 February, 2009 3
During the project, the co-operating parties have extensively discussed three alternative levels of ambition:
(i) establish industrial ecology between existing industries; (ii) create an image of Biopark Terneuzen as an
important cluster in biobased economy; (iii) establish co-operation with Ghent Bio-Energy Valley and
create an image of the whole Canal Zone Ghent Terneuzen as the number 1 European cetre for biobased
economy. The choices were to go for the highest ambition level. The award of the Euregio-subsidy is an
important step confirming this choice and implementing it.
4. Significance of the project for TransForum
Being implemented as an agropark with primary production of flowers and food, allocated in the
industrial ecological setting of an agro-chemical production site, Biopark Terneuzen will be the first
operating example of Metropolitan Agriculture in the Netherlands.
The process of Shared Value Development consists of three stages (1) Shared Value Proposition (2) Shared
Value Creation (3) Shared Value Capturing. Whereas most innovative practice projects remain at the
Shared Value Creation stage, this project has reached the second stage of Shared Value Development in
its implementation and it is well under way towards and has the orgware in place for the phase of Shared
Value Capturing.. The (expanding) network is a promising example of a structural relationship between
knowledge institutes, enterprises and governmental organisations. Non governmental organisations have
explicitly declared their consent. In this sense a fully developed KENGi network is functioning.
The award of the Euregio subsidy enables the creation of an innovative knowledge infrastructure,
specifically aimed at industrial ecology of bio-economy processes, which guarantees the continuity of the
TransForum project.
5. Learning experiences
The learning experiences made in the project are numerous and varied. The most important are:
1. Finding a motivated project leader who can activities as figure head is crucial
This is not a role that knowledge institutes or consultants should play. The project leader should have a
number of key qualifications: The project’s objective should be within the domain and responsibility of the
project leader. The project leader should have the perseverance to be able to realise the project. It should
have authority among the other participating parties. Zeeland Seaports took this role in Biopark Terneuzen
successfully.
2. Identifying a short term objective and organising the necessary support.
During the first phases of the design, when opportunities and potential revenues are out of sight but the
many uncertainties and risks very evident, the readiness to invest is very limited, especially from
entrepreneurs. Especially in that phase the support of an organisation like TransForum has proven to be of
great importance, not only with subsidy but also with its experience and knowledge. Formulating the
TransForum project was the first attractive goal that brought parties together.
3. Creating support on content
Participation in a cluster should deliver direct material and economic gains. New opportunities to deliver
products, new suppliers, new qualities. This perspective is created by engineers and economists.
Immaterial objectives of clustering, such as new employment, a new network, co-design are important
but rank second. Core of this project have been meetings that brought together engineers and
economists and that lead to immediate business deals. These deals are the pushing power behind Biopark
Terneuzen.I
4. Knowledge workers have difficulties to connect to practice problems of entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs
have difficulties in formulating scientifically relevant questions.
Many of the questions that were raised by entrepreneurs and governmental organisations appeared to be
more easily solvable by engineering firms and consultants than by knowledge institutes, which differ in
their ability to cope with this. In the co-design process of projects like Biopark Terneuzen this asks for
permanent attention from the project management. Moreover, formulating the political and practical
consequence of the scientific output is not a task for the knowledge institutes alone.

5. Branding Biopark Terneuzen
Branding the project proved to be very important to communicate on it and to give the opportunity for
people and organisations to connect. Putting the brand in publicity should be done while attracting
attention of media and broad public. This publicity resulted immediately in more companies taking part in
Biopark Terneuzen.
6. Keep crucial fundamentals
During the project serious reverses can occur or specific developments can come under pressure.
Fundamentals of the concept (i.e. spatial clustering, applying industrial ecology) should than not be
abandoned. In Biopark Terneuzen, this occurred when the first group of invited Dutch Greenhouse
entrepreneurs set as precondition to be allowed to generate their own power (a practice very common in
Dutch greenhouse farming). This would have implied that one fundamental: delivering power, heat and
CO2 form industry to greenhouses would have been abandoned. Zeeland Seaport however decided to
formulate the taking of these industrial generated products as a precondition for greenhouse settlement
and than went to acquire successfully for Belgian growers.
7. The Belgian connection
During project development contacts between Biopark Terneuzen and Ghent Bio-Energy Valley have
developed very fruitful, in the end resulting in the common project to develop a joint pilot plant and an
international knowledge infrastructure. The lesson learned here is that initial boundaries and limitations to
the project should never be maintained dogmatically and eventually be redefined if the environment of
the project changes or opportunities arise. Co-design is management of uncertainties.
6. Conclusions
The project clearly contributes towards TransForum's vision and approach. It will be the first operating
agropark in the Netherlands, which has been truly designed on the basis of industrial ecological principles.
The substantive project results have been attained. Moreover, on the basis of TransForum Biopark
Terneuzen project a € 21 mln follow up has been successfully gathered.
The co-design approach of project leader van de Bunt, operating very effectively on the background and
putting Zeeland Seaports in the picture as the projects figurehead, has in a short term resulted in an
inspiring value proposition that now is being implemented (value development) and has a good
perspective in real value capturing, once the basic infrastructure of industrial ecology is in place and the
first greenhouses have become operational.
The monitoring and evaluation of the project has resulted in important lessons learned, that can
immediately be applied in other TransForum Vital Cluster projects, such as Greenport Shanghai, New
Mixed Company and C2C Greenport Flevoland.
