1. Confidential Introduction Technology as the “Tool” for development Leapfrog the development process Resources are everywhere Thinking “outside the box”

2. Confidential Technology For Growth Common to talk about “green”, “renewable” energy. Energy fuels growth, and growth results in: Demands for consumer products Demands for luxury Demands for travel Life’s modern conveniences are not the right of Western Nations only.

3. Confidential Responsible Industrial Development Focus on new, more efficient ways of processing. You are the “nano” generation. New nanotechnologies are providing 100-200% increase in yields of chemical products like plastics. This means: Lower cost Lower pollution Lower consumption of raw materials

4. Confidential Waste A Renewable Resource in the wrong Place Direct vs Indirect Waste Recycle Direct waste is typically the waste from process, or waste after use. This can be simply reprocessed to re-use for same application. Paper Plastics Scrap metal Indirect waste is typically waste created from process or from a supporting process. This can be reused for another application. Waste from one industry is often the feedstock for another. Reusing a waste product as feed is often cheaper.

5. Confidential Some examples Fluoride waste from semiconductor industry. Inefficient wastewater treatment produced landfill waste Efficient wastewater treatment produced high purity product. Product used in Aluminum smelters, glass industry. Arsenic Waste from semiconductor industry/groundwater Inefficient wastewater treatment produced landfill waste Efficient wastewater treatment produced high purity product. Product used as a wood preservative, natural pesticide

6. Confidential Our Technology Focus Renewable energy. Low cost thin film solar cells High efficiency, low cost thermoelectric systems Small scale bio diesel from inedible seeds Gas to Liquids (methanol, ethanol) from landfill gas Methane from anaerobic digesters Benign processing technologies for material manufacturing Utilization of waste materials Non toxic forms of elements Increasing production yields and efficiencies with nanotechnology

7. Confidential To The Students Think outside the box Technology makes micro production plants possible Old school thought of large centralized plants is outdated Think localized production with bio fuels or local waste

8. Confidential To The NGOs Support technology businesses Small scale production Support cross pollination of use of raw materials

9. Confidential To The Educational Institutions Increase awareness of opportunities Raw materials Waste materials Needs of local markets Needs of foreign markets Encourage independence, entrepreneurship Business principles-Real World Planning Pricing
