de ceuvel UPGRADES AND EXPERIMENTATION The final phase of the de Ceuvel development plan, scheduled to last from July 2014 until the end of the 10-year land lease in September 2023, is a period of technological upgrades and experimentation. We have not defined specific goals for this period because these will evolve with the desires of the community and are dependent on the success of the first two phases of the implementation plan. However, there are some general directions that we imagine to be interesting for the community as a whole. ELECTRICITY GENERATION AND STORAGE Depending on the availability of financing earlier in the development process, there may still be a need for investing in renewable electricity generation and storage on site. This sector is improving quickly, with advances in thin film solar, organic solar, integrated urban wind, battery storage, and many other relevant technologies reported daily. Phase three will present opportunities to pilot or simply invest in some of these technologies. OUTREACH AND EDUCATION Many opportunities will emerge around showcasing the de Ceuvel site and hosting public cultural or educational events. If appropriate business models can be worked into these efforts, then they can even potentially earn money for the de Ceuvel association and some can be invested in continued aspects of the Cleantech Playground plan. EXPERIMENTAL TECHNOLOGY PILOTS De Ceuvel will remain an excellent place to test experimental clean technologies and evaluate their performance. This is something which can either be done by individual boat renters or the association as a whole, but may need to be coordinated centrally. ANALYZING COMMUNITY DATA During phase three, it is important for the community to continue collecting and analyzing the data that is generated on site regarding resource flows and consumption. This data is potentially of great value to policymakers, research institutes, and other groups interested in decentralized, renewable technologies. Communicating this data publicly will have a great deal of practical and academic value. Pagina 58
