The overall aim of the proposed project is to decrease the negatıve effect as a result of nuclear and fossıl fuel treatens the whole lıfe forms all around the World, İn a additon that increase a usage ratio of renewable energy
Our main target to start this project is to find an alternative solution to fossil and nuclear energy. We have to provide our whole energy need using clean energy sources. The 1993 report of UN population division Population ref. Bureau shows the population growth and energy need in 2040.The report shows depending an the population growth, energy demand will increase.
2 Billion+ population growth by 2040
130%+ larger World economy by 2040 and 90%+ increasing electricity demand
Reducing CO2 emission targets
As a primary energy source, wave energy has the potential to fulfill the whole energy need of the world. We think Cleanwave energy convertor device is a serious alternative for wave energy. This technology has a very big economic and social profit potential for our target market EU. In EU 2010 Ocean energy roadmap report, the importance of wave energy for EU was explained bellows;
“Wave energy can be a cornerstone of this sustainable economy, ensuring security of supply, mitigating climate change and CO2 emission, developing the energy mix and creating an entire new industry that will create approximately 260,000 direct new job by 2050”.
EU has a tendency of change over from convential energy sources to renewable ones. The aim of the project is to get use of specific objective ocean energy. As it has been explained in UK Marine Foresight Panel 2000, even the 0,1% renewable energy of oceans, contains energy more than 5 times of the worlds need. There for our target of increasing the quantity of wave energy use is compatible with the target of EU renewable energy need.
According to European Union Report (EU-OEA, 2010), Ocean energy generation has the potential to rise to 3.6 GW of installed capacity by 2020 and close to 188 GW by 2050, a significant proportion of this to come from wave energy. It is projected that wave energy could have 529 MW installed by 2020 and nearly 100 GW by 2050. This represents 1.4 TWh/ year by 2020 and over 260 TWh/year by 2050, amounting to 0.05% and 6% of the projected EU-27 electricity demand by 2020 and 2050 respectively.
Technology Readiness Levels; Cleanwave technology level is TRLs:7. “System/subsystem model or prototype demonstration in a relevant environment”.Cleanwave can be product 2020.

• Became the national first winner of Cleantech Open Competition of Turkey 2014 (GCIP) and money prize was given by Minister of Science and Technology
It will be passed to the commercial product phase once the necessary financing has been provided.
Why is CleanWave technology worth to develop? Clean Waves technology has an award of the Global Cleantech Innovation Program (GCIP). Cleanwave is the National Winner of Turkey 2014,GCIP is focused on enhancing emerging cleantech start-ups, growing the local entrepreneurial capacity and supporting the policy framework for innovations (SMEs) in developing and emerging countries. The Participants of the GCIP Organization are “UNIDO-United Nations Industrial Development Organization”, “GEF-Global Environment Facility”,” TUBITAK(The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey)”, « Cleantech Open(the world’s oldest and largest clean technology startup accelerator”.
From the customer's perspective, the features of CleanWave makes the project valuable. Customers are willing to invest in CleanWave because of “High efficiency”, “low cost investment”, “oil free technology&green technology”, »minimizing OPEX(operating expenses)” and “Short ROI time( 4-6 years)”.İn a addition to these, cleanwave technology provides high safety and environmental sensitivity.

When working together on transitions, it is important to be aware of and sensitive to the impact of power and systemic oppression in participatory processes. Within the Amsterdam Smart City network, the question of inclusion and civic participation, is often brought up in worksessions and discussions. However, we often lack the tools to find the bottlenecks and really include all important beneficiaries.
Therefore, we asked our valued partners Kennisland and DRIFT to lead a workshop about Power in Transitions at Demoday #20 on May 16. Dave van Loon and Faduma Mukhtar (Kennisland) together with Aron Teunissen (DRIFT) taught the participants more about power in transitions, based on the Power Literacy Framework and Field Guide from Kennisland. This guide describes five different forms of power and offers a set of tools for professionals to become more aware of power dynamics in their work.
According to the Power Literacy Guide by Kennisland, there are five forms of power in design process. If you want to learn more about this, you can download the Power Literacy guide here. The five forms of power are:
Privilege: The type of power you get from a social relation whereby you benefit due to the social group you belong to, at the expense of another social group. It is an unearned advantage and often invisible to those who have it.
Access power: The ability to influence who is included in and excluded from the design project and process.
Goal power: The ability to initiate the design project to begin with, as well as the ability to influence decisions related to framing the problem, goals, and structure of the design process.
Role power: The ability to influence the roles that different stakeholders take on. This includes the ability to assign any roles or titles in the design process, as well as influencing the role each stakeholder plays in making decisions.
Rule power: The ability to influence the way that those in the design process will work together. It includes the ability to influence what is considered normal, what is allowed and what isn’t, how actors will communicate with each other, what language is used, and beliefs about what types of knowledge are valid.
After a theoretical introduction of the five forms of power, we split into smaller groups to perform a so-called power check for different Amsterdam Smart City projects, such as the Mobility Challenge and “Wat mensen beweegt”. Using this power check, the participants looked at access power and goal power. We identified all actors affected by the project and indicated which actors were not involved. The different actors were then assigned a role in different stages of the process: listener, co-creator, advisor, partner or director.
The goal of this exercise was to create more awareness about involving target groups in different stages of the project. The main take-aways were:
The role for the for the ‘benefit group’, the people that are impacted by the project, is often too small. If beneficiaries are involved, this often happens in the last stages of the project. In this phase in the project, it is often more difficult or not possible at all to influence decision-making;
To create equal power, some parties have to ‘give away’ (some of) their power;
Truly inclusive work takes time, effort and money. It is not something takes place overnight;
Awareness is half of the battle: make the topic of systemic oppression in participatory process a structural part of your (work)process).

The transition towards a circular economy and the energy transition are both needed to reach a sustainable economy and society. The two are intertwined, as the materials needed for the energy transition (such as solar panels) are enormous and the speed of the energy transition is very dependent on the availability of sustainable raw materials, scarce earth metals and biomass. An integral approach is needed in the Metropolitan Region Amsterdam.
Metropolitan Region Amsterdam (MRA), City of Amsterdam, Province of North Holland (PNH) and Amsterdam Economic Board commit to actively stimulating this integral approach. In the session on the Transition day, we explored what the current connection or disconnection is between the two transitions in order to define the best next step.
Led by Marielle de Bloois of Royal HaskoningDHV, all participants drew the current situation of both transitions. By explaining our drawings to each other, we all got new insights into the current situation and barriers between the two transitions. The main findings, visualised by Thomas van Daalen of Flatland are:
The session has led us to valuable new insights, and the participants are ready to take the next steps. For now, we have agreed on the following:

Where do the Amsterdam Smart City Programs take place?
Most programs take place, or at least start at, the Smart City Lab on the Marineterrein Innovation District. This is a "small space for big ideas" where we showcase examples of smart city solutions from Amsterdam. The Smart City Experience Lab is also a workplace where Amsterdam Smart City partners meet and collaborate. Groups visiting the Experience Lab can also visit the Marineterrein Amsterdam Living Lab on their own or as a part of an organized program.
This project looks very interesting. I would like to create an OnLine Video of this project. Who might I contact to discuss this further?
