Utrecht Sustainability Institute Annual Report 2013 
Utrecht, 21 January 2014 Foreword We would hereby like to present you with the Utrecht Sustainability Institute’s annual report for 2013. The main priorities of 2013 were the strengthening of the collaboration with our network partners as well as the set up and implementation of concrete projects. We have further delineated USI’s activities together with our knowledge and business partners. The added value USI represents for its network is particularly evident in the following activities: 1. Acting as a knowledge broker for sustainable urban redevelopments 2. Increasing the visibility of Utrecht’s sustainability knowledge cluster 3. Helping to initiate new projects and programmes, particularly in the following areas: ‐ an integrated approach to energy efficiency and renewable energy in the built environment ‐ circular economy: from theory to practice ‐ living labs, focussed on the integral sustainable redevelopment of urban areas ‐ modelling data concerning energy, materials and water in urban areas ‐ design and organisation of subsoil systems (including the CATO‐2 programme) ‐ Sustainable Finance Lab The balance will be drawn up at the end of 2014 and a decision made as to how USI will be continuing after the ERDF subsidy comes to an end (mid 2015). USI has already started preparing for this in 2013 by adopting and implementing a market‐based approach. The number of current projects is growing steadily, as is the case with the new projects portfolio. The following 2013 Highlights, the project summaries and project descriptions will provide you with an impression of this growth. USI hopes to be able to continue its efforts during the forthcoming year together with all its partners and friends. On behalf of the USI Team, I would like to wish you a very inspiring 2014!

USI ANNUAL REPORT 2013 1 Highlights 2013 Both the number of current projects and the new projects portfolio have seen a steady increase in 2013. For example, USI provided a substantial contribution to the project ‘Smart Grid: rendement voor iedereen’, executed with knowledge institutes and market parties in Utrecht and Amersfoort. USI coordinates the knowledge dissemination in this project. USI also plays an important coordinating role within Utrecht’s ‘Energiepunt Bodem’ project. A new project has been set up together with Deltares, the UU and six other partners in relation to the fibre optic monitoring of cold and heat storage systems. USI has also been looking after the Netherlands’ interests within the Climate‐KIC ‘Transforming the Built Environment’ platform since 2013 and contributes to the realisation of new innovation projects. And we would like to conclude with the cooperation with KIVI, which led to the EU‐2050 Power Lab, a series of five meetings at the Uithof about the route to a sustainable power supply by 2050. The ‘Circular economy: from theory to practice’ theme was also given a high priority status over the past year. This included the organisation of a series of Circular Economy Labs in Utrecht University’s ‘Academiegebouw’. Plus various renewable raw materials (in particular biogas and construction and demolition waste) and non‐renewable raw materials (including electronic waste and waste management in urban areas) projects were also executed. Various different integral projects were set up and executed. Examples of these include the contribution to the renovation of the Tergooiziekenhuizen (hospitals) in Hilversum, the provision of advice to Amsterdam regarding its waste management and the Central Brabant region in relation to making the region sustainable. USI successfully acquired the Sustainable Campus project within the context of Climate‐KIC. Research is being conducted with various different European campuses into how the Utrecht Science Park and other campuses can become breeding grounds for innovation. Preparations have been made to also set up a project for modelling energy, materials and water in urban areas in 2014. The implementation of the CATO‐2 programme, which focuses on CO2 storage, is also being enthusiastically worked on within the ‘subsoil systems’ theme. Special attention is devoted to communication and knowledge sharing, for example within the CATO PhD network. USI has also acted as the ambassador for the COB ‘Planning and Surface’ platform. And finally, the Sustainable Finance Lab has attracted a great deal of publicity. The significant level of interest means we have once again organised a number of well attended meetings about the future of the financial sector. Internationally we have focussed on consolidating the contacts we have established in Singapore and Hong Kong. As the Chairman of the Advisory Board, USI is also involved with promoting ‘Orange Goes Green’, a collaboration between Dutch companies and knowledge institutes with the West Coast of the United States and Canada.
USI ANNUAL REPORT 2013 3 Project overview 2013 Initiated and managed by USI and USI‐network 1. Future proof and energy neutral living and working Major attention is paid to energy neutral and future proof living and working in urban areas. Themes being addressed are renewable energy, energy efficiency, smart grids, mobility, liveability of cities and involvement of citizens in the transition process towards urban sustainability. In 2013, USI worked on the following projects in this field. 1.1 Vision & strategy a. Energiepunt Bodem The City of Utrecht aims to enhance the application of well‐functioning cold and heat storage systems (CHS). Several areas offer possibilities for CHS‐systems. However, the actual situation is not optimal. The city wants to improve this by stimulating the development of well‐functioning CHP‐
systems. Key elements are a central information desk, a master plan for subsoil energy systems, knowledge sharing and promotion of monitoring. USI is coordinator of this project. Commissioned by the City of Utrecht. In cooperation with the City of Utrecht, Province of Utrecht, Water board HDSR, NL Agency. Contact person: Carolien van Hemel 1.2 Innovation & market development b. Smart Grid: rendement voor iedereen The project aims at developing eight new services that seduce the end‐user (households and SMEs) to take advantage of the future smart grid. It takes place in two cities in the heart of the Netherlands: Utrecht and Amersfoort. Both cities realize local smart grids of 100 households and SMEs, functioning as test beds for the newly developed service concepts. Lessons learned, research results and successful approaches are actively disseminated from the project start onwards. In doing so, the regional economy and society take optimal advantage of the project deliverables. In this project USI coordinates knowledge dissemination and communication. 4 USI ANNUAL REPORT 2013 The project ‘Smart Grid: rendement voor iedereen’ develops and tests eight innovative smart grid services Commissioned by the City of Amersfoort, City of Utrecht, Province of Utrecht.

FIEGO – TKI EnerGO A powerful instrument to stimulate sustainability (energy saving in particular) is raising the bar for the minimum sustainability level as a funding requirement. The FIEGO research project investigates the possibilities to make sustainability part of the requirements of real estate financiers by developing sustainability standards and criteria that can be used in the assessment financing of commercial real estate projects. Red line in the project is the fact that sustainable buildings outperform conventional buildings in terms of rental income, lower tenant turnover and higher occupancy. Commissioned by the Dutch Green Building Council. In cooperation with GRESB, Holland Financial Centre, FGH, Syntrus Achmea, ING Real Estate Finance, ABN AMRO, SNS Property Finance, NIBC. Contact person: Tom Bakkum. 2.3 Coordinating activities h. Platform Making Transition Happen (MTH) The main strategic challenge of the Climate‐KIC platform Making Transitions Happen (MTH) is to create a low carbon culture that engages companies, communities and citizens to reduce their impact and connect globally on the climate change challenge. The platform specifically focuses on network, up scaling and removing barriers while addressing the non‐technical barriers of social, institutional, financial, behavioural or regulatory nature and develops products aiming to deploy and scale‐up innovations. Commissioned by Climate‐KIC, European Institute of Technology and Innovation. In cooperation with Utrecht University, Province of Utrecht and many others. Contact person: Tom Bakkum. 3. Closing the loop of renewable and non‐renewable resources Raw materials are the basis of all products that we eventually dispose of. This often results in loss, or loss of quality, of those raw materials. The idea behind the Circular Economy is amazingly simple: in view of the continuously increasing global consumption and steady depletion of geological natural resources, we must strive to maximise the re‐use, recycling and use of bio‐based raw materials. To not deprive future generations of opportunities, we are creating projects that attempt to follow nature’s example, using renewable resources or fully recovering raw materials from ‘waste’. 8 USI ANNUAL REPORT 2013 3.1 Non‐renewable resources a. Second opinion Transition Waste and Energy Company The management of the Waste and Energy Company (AEB) has asked Utrecht Sustainability Institute for a second opinion in outline on its ambition to develop into a sustainable energy‐ and resources company. Commissioned by the Waste and Energy Company. In cooperation with the City of Amsterdam, Ecofys and KWR. Contact person: Jacqueline Cramer. b. Amsterdam’s Waste Chain: From Grey to Green The Amsterdam city council has the ambition to move forward in the field of waste management. This project aimed to offer a perspective on how Amsterdam may implement an ambitious and at the same time realistic waste management policy by 2020 (with a perspective to 2032). The focus of the advice was on domestic waste. Underlying principle: waste no longer exists in the future. Commissioned by Waste and Energy Company (AEB) and the City of Amsterdam. In cooperation with the City of Amsterdam and connected districts. Contact person: Jacqueline Cramer. c. E‐waste 2.0 Challenge The objective of this challenge is to generate creative concepts that facilitate the collection of e‐
waste and enhance citizens’ motivate to recycle their e‐waste, at the local level. Solutions are explicitly sought in the field of new media and gaming. Students and job seekers (HBO and WO) in the Netherlands are challenged to submit their creative solutions for the collection of e‐waste and participate in a Challenge. The final two winners of this Challenge will get the chance to realize their idea. Commissioned by NVMP Foundation, Wecycle and UtrechtInc. In cooperation with Wecycle and UtrechtInc. Contact person: Jeroen Aarts. d. Recycling of Construction and Demolition Waste: from ‘Circular City’ to ‘Circular Country’ This project focuses on high quality recycling of construction and demolition waste, i.e. with as little ‘downcycling’ as possible. The project aims to scale up the achievements and business model of the ‘Cirkelstad’ model (‘Circular City’, Rotterdam) to the national level in the Netherlands. In the ‘Cirkelstad’ model, sustainability gains are realized by forming construction (and demolition) consortia along lines of mutual trust and joint sustainability ambitions, thereby substantially improving supply chain management. The entire construction chain (including commissioning parties, demolition companies, producers and suppliers of construction materials and construction companies) is represented in and committed to the implementation of this project. Commissioned by the Ministry of Infrastructure & Environment and the cooperation partners (in kind). In cooperation with Utrecht University, Van Nieuwpoort Bouwgrondstoffen, Oranje BV, Dutch Green Building Council, Aedes, TNO, BRBS, Van Gansewinkel, Bouwend Nederland, Strukton, Search Ingenieursbureau. Contact person: Sander de Vries. USI ANNUAL REPORT 2013 9 e. Towards a Uniform and Broadly Supported Implementation of the Environmental Relevant Product Information (MRPI) of Recycled Construction Products Essential in the transition to a more sustainable construction sector is full comparability of the environmental impact of recycled building materials versus ‘virgin’ products. This project aims to improve this comparability. The expected result is a LCA‐related calculation method. Central issue in this method is the way in which environmental costs and benefits are allocated to different links in the product chains. Solving this question, together with stakeholders, will enhance control of constructors and contracting authorities over the environment performance of construction projects and it will facilitate sustainability assessment by the government and auditors of quality standards. Commissioned by Ministry of the Interior and Royal Metal Union. In cooperation with Ecofys, LBP Sight and IVAM – Interfaculty Environmental Science Department (UvA – University of Amsterdam). Contact person: Sander de Vries. 3.2 Renewable resources f. Biogas 2 Market This project aims to assess the climate relevance of several innovative biogas production systems through partial Life‐Cycle‐Analyses. GHG emissions and several other impact categories, such as (indirect) land use change, are addressed in this critical analysis. Current digester facilities that are operating at small, medium and industrial scales are used as reference‐cases. The outcomes of the project will be used to upgrade existing facilities to improve their overall sustainability (economy and ecology), and to develop sustainable biogas‐driven biorefinery platforms for new conversion capacity to be built. In cooperation with among others: Wageningen UR, Utrecht University, Copernicus Institute, Province of Utrecht, Imperial College Londen, Aberystwyh University, University of Debrecen, University of Aachen. Contact person: Sander de Vries. g. Biogas, Energizing the Countryside (Biogas ETC) This project aims to develop an innovative cost‐efficient small‐scale gas upgrading system, targeting Europe’s smaller or more remote farms. It combines removal of CO2 with conversion of H2S into harmless elementary sulphur, resulting in a high quality fuel that meets the NPR‐ISO/TR 15403‐2 standard. In cooperation with Cornelissen Consulting Services BV (CCS), Imperial College Londen, Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy and Energy System Technology (IWES), GDF Suez, TNO, Province of Utrecht, Wageningen UR ‐ Animal Sciences Group. Contact person: Sander de Vries. h. Sounding Board of the Initiative Wood Pellets Buyers Platform (IWPB) The Initiative of Wood Pellet Buyers (IWPB) is intended to evolve into a joint initiative involving companies which produce, procure or trade solid biomass for energy purposes or operate biomass plants. The IWPB has been mandated to develop an effective and credible sustainability (certification) scheme for the procurement of sustainable biomass. Commissioned by IWPB. In cooperation with IWPB. Contact person: Jacqueline Cramer. 10 USI ANNUAL REPORT 2013 3.3 Outreach activities i. Circular Economy Labs The Labs are intended to give the circular economy a recognizable place on the agenda in a number of important sectors and to explore directions to realize the circular economy with parties involved. In the series of debates, solutions are sought for specific bottlenecks and organizational problems. The insights gained are used to accelerate the transition towards the circular economy in practice and to increase the opportunities for companies to actually get started.

Subsoil systems It is important to control the activities in the subsurface, especially in urban regions. This enables the use of geothermal sources to produce energy, in some cases combined with storage of carbon dioxide, and/or with soil sanitation using innovative techniques to render sustainable results. a. CATO‐2 The CATO‐2 programme's mission is to facilitate and enable integrated development of CCS demonstration sites in the Netherlands. The programme's ambition is to help realize two or more large demonstration sites for the integration of CO2 capture, transport and storage in the Netherlands before 2015. CATO‐2 contributes in maintaining the internationally leading knowledge and technology position for CCS for the Netherlands. A reputation for which the basis was established in CATO‐1. Commissioned by and in cooperation with the government, industry, knowledge institutes and NGO: over 40 consortium partners. Contact person: Sander van Egmond. USI ANNUAL REPORT 2013 11 CATO‐2 PhD Excursion Bergermeer b. Platform Planning & Subsoil The platform Planning and Subsoil focuses on an integrated approach in subsoil construction, thus laying the connection between the other research areas within COB. To assist parties in the combination of Planning and Subsoil, COB coordinates various studies in this area. The Platform connects parties, initiates new projects and supports applied research. The focus is on governments and authorities as well as all professionals engaged in spatial planning. Commissioned by the Netherlands Knowledge Centre for Subsoil Space and Subsoil Construction (COB). In cooperation with companies, authorities and professionals. Contact person: Jacqueline Cramer. c. Analysis of the Dutch CCS program as a knowledge network The CATO R&D programme is analysed from an innovation perspective. The goal is to elicit motives for participation in the program, preferences for the way knowledge should be produced and disseminated, and the manner of cooperation within the network. The study uses network analysis and qualitative interviews with the participants of the program. In cooperation with UU GEO NW&I. Contact persons: Sander van Egmond and Marlies Verlinde. 5. Sustainable finance A stable financial sector that seeks to create long term value is a necessary condition for a sustainable economy. The Sustainable Finance Lab emphasizes that the financial sector needs to pay more attention to sustainability risks and should make sufficient financing available for the required energy transition. Activities of SFL in 2013 were aimed at both financial stability in general (money system, capital buffers of banks) and financing of a sustainable economy (risks of fossil fuels, financing of technological innovation). 12 USI ANNUAL REPORT 2013 Public debate Sustainable Finance Lab at Academiegebouw Utrecht – Photo: © Eric Brinkhorst a. Sustainable Finance Lab The Sustainable Finance Lab (SFL) aims to promote effective sustainability of the financial sector: a stable and robust financial sector that contributes to an economy serving humanity without depleting its environment. The SFL operates as a network of scientists and experts with a small secretariat. Initiative of USI and Triodos Bank. In cooperation with DNB, AFM, financial institutes and various knowledge institutes. In dialogue with financial institutes and policy makers. Contact persons: Rens van Tilburg and Francis Weyzig. b. The carbon bubble: a systemic risk to the EU’s financial system? The “carbon bubble” refers to the excess CO2 emissions potential of corporations, mainly in the form of mineral reserves, which implies a substantial overvaluation of carbon‐intensive firms. This study aims to determine the impact of the carbon bubble and environmental crises on financial markets and institutional investors, and develop recommendations that limit adverse effects of the carbon bubble and facilitate a "greening" of financial markets. Commissioned by EFA/ Greens group of the European Parliament. In cooperation with Profundo. Contact persons: Rens van Tilburg and Francis Weyzig. c. Technology entrepreneurs take funding into their own hands The objective of this project is to offer 30‐40 entrepreneurs the opportunity to make a well‐informed decision whether or not they wish to be involved in the further development of alternative financing possibilities. To this end SFL prepares a background document in which available knowledge about financing issues and alternative forms of finance is put together. SFL then organizes a meeting for entrepreneurs where the urgency of the problem is outlined and where possible solutions, such as credit unions and crowd finance, are presented. Commissioned by Technology foundation STW. In cooperation with FME‐CWM, De Ruijter Strategy. Contact persons: Rens van Tilburg and Francis Weyzig.
