Senior Consultant at Global Green Building LLC from United States · Springfield
22 years ago I started down the path to renewable energy working on my masters degree in Natural and Applied Science (Environmental Design). It has been my passion to understand the need for change and then lead people to the change. I have worked in Research and Development and selling and installing renewable's. I have designed and built off the grid and tornado resistant homes. My designs include Net-Zero communities Low Impact Developments and Passive Solar buildings.

Licensing Manager at Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia from Spain · Tarragona
The Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia represents one of the very first fruits of the new scientific policy of the government of Catalonia (Spain) aimed at creating new research centres in strategic areas. ICIQ, in particular, has been created with the ambition of becoming a reference for chemistry in the European Research Space. Our society faces important challenges in the XXI century, among which health and environmental concerns are of outmost importance. Chemistry will play an essential role in both of these challenges. To succeed, our increasingly knowledge-based economy will require a solid and strong chemical industry; currently 150.000 jobs in Catalonia (and more than 2 million in the EU) directly arise from the chemical industry. In order for this industry to be successful in the future, it must take a sustainable approach based on the rational use of feed-stocks and raw materials. For this, fundamental chemical research needs to be funded and novel approaches into transforming matter must be developed. We at ICIQ consider that catalysis is the key activity for sustainable chemistry. Catalytic processes can minimize raw materials and energy consumption, and can lead to the selective formation of target products with minimal generation of wastes. In line with this consideration, we have taken catalysis as one of our main research topics. Complementary to our research focus, attention has been paid to the development of a simple and efficient organizational model for ICIQ, able to overcome known difficulties normally associated with larger and more traditional research institutions. The Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia aims at bridging the gap between academic research and industry, focusing its research on catalytic chemical processes for applications in health, energy and sustainability. At ICIQ, we consider that patents are highly efficient, safe and solid tools to provide protection from competitors. This is why we file patents for our in-house developed-technologies: to give our co-development projects with industry a strong starting IP position. As a research centre our goal is always to co-develop our technology adapting it to the industrial partner’s specific needs and ultimately transfer the technology to this company, with a flexible licensing strategy adapted to each case.

• As main driving force for CyberColloids, I have managed to motivate my colleagues to develop an alternative business model in the area of outsourced R&D, which is now recognized internationally as a center of excellence in Food Texture. Clients come from China to USA, Norway to India, and include multinationals eg Pepsi, Mars, Wrigley etc to family owned companies. • Guided CyberColloids to a point where it is now seen as a Research Provider in it’s own right; have been awarded 5 FP7 projects and 2 Horizon 2020 projects- 4 such projects have involved the processing of seaweed. • When at Quest International (Unilever) I and my team turned a $25M loss making business into a profitable $35M business.

Technology Developer at Advanced Alternative Energy Corp. from United States · Lawrence Kansas
AAEC has developed a novel new concept energy technology designed to enable homeowners, businesses, towns, cities and even counties to convert completely to cleaner energy. AAEC is for all those who understand that distributed alternative / renewable energy derived from solar, wind, biomass and waste is a viable pathway to stall global warming and produce a much better future for our descendants, and ultimately for all humanity. AAEC offers a viable and affordable way to move to a future where people are better at controlling global warming. Fossil fuel firms and utilities may at first oppose what AAEC offers, preferring to continue passing on the high costs in cleaning up their operations to their customers, even if far better options are available that would benefit them as well. AAEC management believes we will all do better and be safer in the long run if we can deploy a practical way to power nearly all human activities on extraction of greenhouse gases that have already been emitted into earth’s atmosphere while also cutting back on ongoing greenhouse emissions and begin protecting communities and electric power grids. I’m claiming to be an inventor of one of the “tools” needed to enable humanity to overhaul the power delivery system, in the USA and elsewhere, and help get us out of the box fossil fuels and governmental inaction have humanity bound up in. I propose that we do this through deployment of modern advanced alternative energy projects at residential, community, city and county scale as good paying, infrastructure producing, jobs are needed that protect rather than degrade sustainability. Les Blevins says my small tech energy development firm is seeking support from any and all that may care to support our trickle up distributed energy technology development project. With a small amount of financial support AAEC will enable bringing localized clean low-carbon energy production to the people of the world much as the PC brought computing to the people of the world.
