PHILOSOPHY
The philosophy of the All Energy Day can be divided into the following pillars: technology, policy, design and entrepreneurship. We believe in a multidisciplinary approach towards the energy transition. During the day we want to do more than just elaborate on these subjects. We want to motivate all participants with their different backgrounds and expertises to work together towards a sustainable energy supply.
TECHNOLOGY
When will wind energy be profitable?
Can airplanes fly on solar power?
Will seawater provide energy for Dutch households?
Big advancements are being made in the whole technology sector. In the field of energy we are also seeing a succession of innovations. However, especially in the field of energy storage and distribution large steps are still to be made.
The energy transition from nonrenewable to renewable energy will have to happen gradually. In order for this to happen, clear regulations and policies have to be in place. The policy should facilitate the processes that are needed to reach the goals.
POLICY
Does the current European energy policy work?
Is investing in an offshore wind park the right decision?
Should the government subsidize electric cars?
ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Which start-ups will lead to actual sustainable companies?
How to get from a business plan to a healthy and successful company?
What are the best energy related start-ups at this moment?
Without entrepreneurship, progress in the energy industry halts. Frequently the most unexpected ideas and extraordinary problem approaches come from innovative entrepreneurs who can think out of the box.
It is important that changes will also be made on a consumer level. Innovation in for example recycling, energy usage and sustainable packaging is crucial for a sustainable future.
DESIGN
How do we make energy producing houses?
Will every city be self sustaining in the future?
Will it be possible to recharge our vehicles using a charging road?
