RVO announces European Green Deal call for SMEs
The European Green Deal is the European Commission's strategy for a more sustainable, cleaner and healthier European economy. Research and innovation are of course key to make this happen. RVO (the Dutch agency for subsidies) announces several calls in the coming months of 2020 with a total budget of € 1 billion.
First one on the planning is a special EIC accelerator call for SMEs that need some help to develop a green idea and scale it up internationally. Support will be a subsidy up to € 2,5 million and there is an option for receiving equity up to € 15 million. Projects need to contribute substantially to the European goals for fighting climate change.
Please note that this information is preliminary, more info in Dutch on the website of RVO and we expect that the EU will publish this call in the coming weeks. The RVO-site will update the links to the EC call info, which is not online yet.

Interest in district heating or Industrial waste heat recovery projects
Hi all,
do you know about a district heating or Industrial waste heat recovery project, that might want to have some energetic help?
I just finished my interdisciplinary Bachelor of Business Administration and Engineering with the focus on energy technology and quality management at the faculty of resource management in Gottingen, Germany with my thesis about the use of industrial waste heat in the paper industry. In September I will start the master's programme Sustainable Development Track Energy and Materials at Utrecht University.
And starting from right now I would be available to support your project!
I would love to learn more about how industrial waste heat recovery projects are realized.
Kind regards,
Leila

The Future of Urban Energy
It's unlikely that our current energy system will be able to continue to guarantee reliability in the future as different factors cause a massive impact on our energy supply.
Although electricity use in Amsterdam is relatively stable today, this will change in the near future. Due to expected population growth, increasing use of electric vehicles and the shift from gas boilers to electric heat pumps, we will start consuming more and more electricity.
On the other hand, and at the same time, the supply of solar and wind energy is growing rapidly. This sustainable energy will replace non-renewable energy increasingly into the system. Unfortunately, this is not without complications.
With all these changes ahead: how can we transition to a reliable, affordable and sustainable energy system? In the below long-read we explain how we work on the future of urban energy.
Smart heat pump options are heavily underutilized
In 2018, only 25% of heat pumps on Dutch market are connected to the internet, and virtually no heat pump is ready for flexible control, according to research conducted by Delta-ee on behalf of FAN.

WarmBouwen-pilot in Amsterdam
NL
WarmBouwen is een techniek die gebruik maakt van restwarmte bij het isoleren van woningen. De techniek zorgt ervoor dat de buitenschil van de woning op temperatuur blijft waardoor er vrijwel niet verwarmd of gekoeld hoeft te worden. De restwarmte wordt door dunne buisjes in combinatie met (duurzaam) isolatiemateriaal op de wand geplaatst. De techniek is makkelijk te plaatsen, het isolatiemateriaal is slechts enkele centimeters dik en daardoor makkelijk toe te passen in de bestaande woningen in Amsterdam (zie de infographic voor een duidelijke toelichting).
EN
Warmbouwen is a technique that makes uses of residual heat in the insulation of houses. The technique ensures that the outer shell of the house stays on temperature with the result that there is barely any heating or cooling needed. The residual heat goes through small tubes and is combined with an (sustainable) insulation material, this combination is then placed on the wall. The technique is easy to install, the insulation material combined with the tubes is just a few centimeters thick and so easy to apply in existing houses in Amsterdam.
Campus Amsterdam Energietransitie Tour
Beste Energiekoploper,
Graag nodigen wij je uit voor de eerste Campus Amsterdam Energietransitie Tour!
Waarom ontvang je deze uitnodiging? Ben jij één van de koplopers binnen de Metropoolregio Amsterdam, dan willen we jou graag koppelen aan innovaties waar op dit moment aan wordt gewerkt.
Op 13 mei rijdt een bus met 30 koplopers van Amsterdam naar Petten en Alkmaar en kijken we gezamenlijk hoe we innovaties uit de Metropoolregio Amsterdam en Noord-Holland Noord kunnen inzetten om de energietransitie een boost te geven.
In en om Amsterdam werken vele getalenteerde mensen aan veelbelovende oplossingen, diensten en producten die de manier waarop we energie opwekken en gebruiken drastisch kunnen veranderen. Aan de andere kant is er noodzaak bij onder andere industriële- en mobiliteitspartijen om processen en systemen te innoveren en duurzaam te gaan werken. Campus Amsterdam en de Amsterdam Economic Board brengen 30 sleutelfiguren in de energietransitie bij elkaar. We kijken of we matches kunnen maken én we bespreken met elkaar wat er nodig is om tot een innovatie-ecosysteem voor de energietransitie van de Metropoolregio Amsterdam te komen.
Samenwerking is de enige weg voorwaarts. Daarom besteden we een hele dag om langs 3 verschillende innovatiecampussen te gaan om te zien wat al mogelijk is en hoe we elkaar kunnen versterken.
Programma:
• Interactieve bustour onder leiding van journaliste Froukje Jansen
• Bezoek aan innovatiedistricten Terra Technica, Prodock in Amsterdam en Energy & Health Campus Petten, plekken waar je normaal gesproken niet zomaar binnen kunt vallen
• Centrale vraagstelling: welke kansen bieden de oplossingen die daar ontwikkeld worden voor jou? Hoe kun jij – als koploper- deze innovaties helpen verder te ontwikkelen?
• Op de terugweg bespreken we vervolgstappen.
De dag duurt van 8.30 uur tot 17.00 uur waarbij we starten en eindigen bij Prodock Amsterdam. Voor koffie en lunch wordt gezorgd.
Graag horen we aan welke energie-innovaties de Metropoolregio Amsterdam volgens jou vooral behoefte heeft, wat voor soort innovaties jou verder kunnen helpen en hoe jij kunt helpen om innovaties verder te brengen. We hopen dat je erbij bent om met dit exclusieve gezelschap de nieuwste innovaties te ontdekken.
Mocht je geïnteresseerd zijn, stuur dan een email naar Julia Robeer (j.robeer@amsterdam.nl). Wees snel want er zijn nog enkele plekken vrij!
Hartelijke groet,
Campus Amsterdam
