57 How will we get there? The project focuses on three themes: Energy (incl. mobility), Water and Materials. Depending on the local situation, on each island one or more of the following activities will be carried out under guidance of prof.dr. Han Brezet of the Delft University of Technology (activities Energy), ir. Heleen Sombekke of Wetsus Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Water Technology (activities Water) and prof.dr. Michael Braungart/EPEA (activities Materials). Activities Energy/mobility • Investigate the use and feasibility of renewable energy sources like solar, wind, wave and tidal energy • Apply the concept of ‘blue energy’ (producing electricity by mixing salt water and fresh water) for island environments • Design and test innovative product services for island mobility, e.g. electric scooters, electric tuk-tuk and charging stations • Optimize sustainable transport between and on the islands • Design of an ‘Eternal Island Holiday House’ that is transportable, degradable, made of local materials and energy producing • Link energy savings with the modernisation of housing and the use of renewable energy. Activities Water • Innovative supply of drinking water by desalination of sea water • Sanitation and separation of household water in several streams • Purification and re-use of the effluent of waste water treatment plants • Storage of rainwater underground during winter times to realize water supply in summer. Activities Materials 1 Cradle to Cradle® sound solutions for local marinas and the ‘Eternal Island Holiday House’. 2 Local production with innovative materials, e.g. tourist products like custom tailored swim suits, toys for kids etc. 3 Set up of an innovative Research Centre on Biopolymers to adapt polluting plastics into new in water dissolvable environmentaly friendly products and to make use of local available resources like algae. locations for ns, because they More information?
