Introduction
❖ Oil and other fossil fuels were taken important roles in the Industrial Revolution, but it was a dangerous game. For example ➢ Unemployment is rising ➢ Economic crisis ➢ Climate problems
❖ The Third Industrial Revolution is the last of the great Industrial Revolutions and will lay the foundation infrastructure for an emerging collaborative age . For example: ➢ Internet technology ➢ Renewable energies
Pillar 1: Shift to Renewable Energy
The purpose of the pillars is to “Shift from a second industrial revolution run on fossil fuel energies to a third industrial revolution run by renewable energies.” ● Cost of fossil fuels is increasing because they are
becoming increasingly scarce. ● Total cost of renewable energy is decreasing because of
technology breakthroughs.
Pillar 1 continued
● Wind, solar, geothermal, and wave power are critical. Also need infrastructure in place to store this energy, so energy will not be lost and wasted.
Pillar 1 Implementation
● The author Jeremy Rifkin is working with EU to implement pillars, and is already taking steps to implement the first pillar.
● The EU has committed to achieving a 20% reduction in
CO2 emissions and 20% renewable production by 2020 ● Renewable energy will equal one-third of Europe's
current electricity production.
Pillar 2: Buildings = Mini-power Plants
● Rifkin’s second pillar calls for transforming the building stock of every continent into micro-power plants to collect renewable energies on-site
● Incentivize the construction and real estate sectors to encourage the conversion of millions of buildings that can harness renewable energies
Pillar 2 continued
● “Net-zero” concept - produce at least as much energy as consumed ● Frito-Lay Casa Grande Arizona Plant
o Solar concentrators to cook potato chips
● GM’s production facility has a 10-MW power plant that powers 4600 homes.
● Homeowners can install solar panels
Pillar 2 continued
● Increasing energy efficiency and installing and servicing renewable energy in US buildings creates millions of jobs o Net number of new jobs in the US would exceed 5.5
million by 2030
● Green mortgages could help facilitate building
conversions
Pillar 3: Storage Technology in Buildings
Pillar 4: Create Internet Power Grid
● Purpose: Connect everyone to power storage. ● The Network will be 100 or 1000 time larger.
Pillar 4: Internet Power Grid
● The intelligent energy network will affect: homes, offices, factories, and vehicles will continuously communicate with one another, sharing information on daily basis.
● The smart grid is critical to the growth of the
other four pillars, it will generate hundreds of thousands of additional jobs in the renewable energy sector.
Pillar 5: Transportation
Toxic air pollution now number one environmental killer, causing 3.5 million premature death each year!
Fuel Cell
A device that converts the chemical
energy from a fuel into electricity
through a chemical reaction with
oxygen or another oxidizing agent.
A fuel cell vehicle that is fueled with
hydrogen emits only water and heat,
but no tailpipe pollutants, therefore it
is considered a Zero Emission
Vehicle.
Plug-in
Vehicles
-Connected to power
grid
-Buy and sell energy
-U.S. transportation
emissions produce
more than a quarter
of the country’s
greenhouse gases.
The 5 Pillars
1. Shift to Renewable Energy
2. Buildings = Mini-power Plants
3. Storage Technology in Buildings
4.Create Internet Power Grid
5. Green Transportation
The European Union
27 EU Member States
20-20-20 goal
● 20% ↓ GHG emissions
● 20% ↑ Renewables
● 20% ↓ Consumption
Taking Action
● Master Plans already in place for:
○ Monaco
○ Rome, Italy
○ San Antonio, TX
○ Utrecht, Netherlands
○ Nord-Pas de Calais, France
● TIR Consulting Group LLC (A Global Economic Development Team)
● Third Industrial Revolution Global CEO Business Roundtable
