Concept Overview
Conventional approaches to renewable energy are falling short. The key is to shift the focus from developing individual technologies to creating whole new systems. by Mark W. Johnson and Josh Suskewicz
Is it working out ?
Sadly, history shows that this works rarely ! May take many years enable clean technologies to supplant fossil fuels
Disruptive innovation
Many of the difficulties of clean-tech adoption can be traced to the fundamental error of focusing on parts rather than on the whole. Framework for thinking
Enabling technology
Hentry Ford: The real impact of these technologies was felt only after system shad evolved around them Edison Bulb: Technological transformation of switch from kerosene to electricity.
1. Developing the city. 2. thin-fi lm solar company investment arm takes stakes in promising cleantech startups and projects around the world, 3. A gigantic wind farm going up in the UK 4. Manufactures clean-tech equipment 5.The worlds first cleantech- focused university: the MIT-affiliated Masdar Institute of Science and Technology, Set to move in by 2013, expected to complete within a decade to be home to Masdars headquarters, the International Renewable Energy Agency,1,500 clean-tech companies, and 40,000 permanent residents. MARKET: City is its own sheltered end market. Given a chance to mature with minimal barriers to implementation and adoption, clean-tech. POLICY. Clearly, as a government-owned entity, Masdar is in a position to enjoy advantages that cant be matched in countries with less political will, on a scale not possible in the private sector.
Closing Note
Competing head-on with fossil-fuel-based energy is exceptionally difficult. A century of investment and innovation has yielded a comprehensive network - more conveniently, efficiently, and cost-effectively than anything else right now. Government subsidies aimed at making not-good-enough options competitive have been applied In any event, no alternative will be viable over time if it can succeed only on an artificially created playing field maintained by permanent subsidies.
EV of Tomorrow!
Are we fundamentally right in the clean concept ? Are the Clean Projects really Clean ? Inventions on Ready for turning points!
