Photosynthesis * Often only 1 % of the energy fixed by Photosynthesis * The fixing of photons to chemical structures is efficient * The leak is in the rhizomes and defence Energy from artificial photosynthesis * Project Towards Bio Solar Cells * The Netherlands awarding for Photosynthesis Research * We could go to 5 % efficiency in stead of 1 % * Through selection and better circumstances Saturation of light * C4 plants (corn) are more efficient than C3 plants * Algae could be very efficient, you have to mix them * Genetic modification, like shorter antennae less energy to useless processes, like defence and roots * Algae, no roots 5-10 times more efficient Fix the energy of sunlight without going into Biomass * Elementary Photosynthesis processes * Light chain reaction and Calvin cycle * Bind to fermentating organisms (yeast) * Convert sugar into ethanol * Giving fermenting genes to cyan bacteria Artificial leave * Like bird wing and plane, similar but different * A carrier, like titanoxide * A receiving system that oxidices water with incoming light * The photones are captured and used to make ethanol from water * Within 5 years this all should work * Imagine highways producing their own fuel Solutions: Education * Primary Education * Secondary Education * Higher Education * Citizens * World Primary Education (4-11 year old) * Clean your street * Energie Different Primary Education * Opgeruimd st(r)aat netjes * Clean your street 'Natuurlijk energie‘ (Natural Energy) * Energie Different is a project about Energy for year 3 t/m 8 (6-11 yrs). * Aim: get kids acquaintanted with many aspects and forms of sustainable Energy. * In a positive and stimulating way kids are challenged at their level to make decisions in the field of Energy Secondary Education (12- 16/17/18 years old) * Schools for Sustainability * Choose the Future * WK Soccer Schools for Sustainability * Melanchthon Bergschenhoek (Rotterdam) * Year 4 HAVO VWO * A Sustainable Port * Letter from the Mayor of Rotterdam * Visit the port * Different taskforces * 6 weeks till presentation with advice * Experts were to be consulted Onze ideeën Soorten Kranen Choose the Future * Accent College in Vlaardingen * They become aware of Climate problems and their social concerns will be enlarged. * The long version takes 2 days and there are councilors and experts organized WK Soccer * VMBO TL * Project to give suggestions for a more energy efficient stadium * Compare the energy usage of different stadiums * Make your own pictogram Higher Education (from 17 years and up) * Sustainability Café * Design stamps on Sustainability Sustainability Café Design stamps on Sustainability Citizen * Warm Pullover Day * Rotterdam Climate Initiative * INGREPRO algae producer * Happy Shrimp “Warm Pullover Day”. * Friday 13 th februari 2009 more than 2 million people (Nl:16 mi total) at home, at school or at work gave their statement, by joining “Warm Pullover Day”. * The amount of participants doubled since last year. They all saves 2 milion euro on the energy accounts and prevented in one day the emission of 66 tons of CO2. Rotterdam Climate Initiative Ambition: Improving the climate for * the benefit of people * the environment * the economy The Rotterdam Climate Initiative creates a movement in which collaborate: * government * organizations * companies * knowledge institutes * citizens Rotterdam Climate Initiative * To achieve a 50% reduction of CO2 emissions by 2025, * Adapt to climate change, * Promote the economy in the Rotterdam region. * Rotterdam is aiming to be the World Capital of CO2- free energy Rotterdam Climate Initiative Rotterdam Climate Initiative Rotterdam Climate Initiative * Collective initiators; Port of Rotterdam, the City of Rotterdam, employers' organization Deltalinqs, and DCMR Environmental Protection Agency Rijnmond INGREPRO INGREPRO operates three large production sites in the Netherlands and is the largest industrial algae producer in Europe and unique in the world due to its in-depth knowledge of cultivating algae under extreme (stress) conditions in order to obtain Enriched Algal Biomass (EAB). Algae * Their biomass contains relatively high levels of valuable elements as unsaturated fatty acids (EPA, DHA, Omega 6 and Omega 9), vitamins, colorants. * Algae are used in food and feed supply chains, plant nutrition, aquaculture, as an energy source and also as a feedstock for the chemicals industry. Happy Shrimp * Tropical Shrimps from the Lowlands Using a heat-exchange system at the site of EON Maasvlakte’s power plant. * They utilize ‘waste-heat’ which otherwise would be released into the air.
