1 Universiteit Twente – Green Energy Initiative Kick-off Summary Wim van Swaaij 1

2 Sustainable development for the next generations 2050: 9 - 10 billion people Closing all material cycles Dematerialization and energy efficiency Renewable and sustainable energy 2 2 times more energy required, The Challenge!!

3 Green Energy Initiative (GEI) Joined forces in the green energy field, aiming at: -Increase effectiveness and impact -Stimulating top positions in focus areas -Improved visibility and positioning -Contact point UT for external parties 3 - ‘light organization’ -Temptation and challencesTemptation and challences - Science, Engineering and application

4 Organisation / founding fathers 4 MESA+ (nanotechnology) Prof. D. Blank CTIT (informatietechnology) Prof. P. Apers IGS (governance) Prof. C. Aarts Green Energy Initiative 35 Chairs

5 Director : ir. J. Emmerzaal. Advisory board : Prof. W. v. Swaaij Governance Dr. Arentsen 5 Biomassa Prof. Kersten Smart Grids Prof. Smit New Materials Dr. Huijgen -Fuels from biomass -Biorefinery -Procestechnology for theseprocesses -Etc. Future energy utilization, delivery and control. Materials for: -different types fuel cells -Water splitting by light -new catalysis fo energy processes -Etc. Future: - Wind - nuclear energy - building - rare elements

6 Green Energy Initiative Kick-off symposium 6 - Are the ideals of the Initiative shared by the participants ? - Are the present boundary conditions sufficient to start ? - Do we have preliminary programs for the 3 spearhead themes ? - Do we have sufficient examples of running projects within those themes on Science and Engineering, Fundamental and valorisation ?

7 Green Energy Initiative Kick-off symposium 7 -Will our visibility be improved and will we be a more attractive R&D and valorisation partner ? -Do we have sufficient examples of successful projects were Technical Sciences are collaborating with disciplines from Behaviour, Organisation, Governance and Ethics ? -Do we believe in Education and Training on Energy, in the Campus as Green Energy show case, involving students etc. ?

8 Green Energy Initiative Kick-off symposium 8 So let us start ‘the Green energy initiative’ Thank you -Contributers -Organizers -Participants
