1 The Learning Network on Sustainable energy systems is funded by the European-ACP- EU Edulink II Implemented by the ACP Group of States Secretariat Funded by the EU LeNSes conference , Cape Town, South Africa LeNSes project CARLO VEZZOLI LeNSes coordinator Project funded by the European Union, Edulink programme

2 ENERGY ACCESS 1.2 billion people worldwide lack access to electricity 1 further billion do not have reliable access to electricity who are those living without electricity?. more than 95% are in the sub-saharan Africa and low-income Asia countries. 80% of the world total are in rural areas (World Energy Outlook 2015, International Energy Agency)

3 ACCESS TO ELECTRICITY IS VITAL TO ENDING EXTREME POVERTY AND PROMOTING SHARED PROSPERITY electricity enables:. children to study after dark. water to be pumped for crops. foods and medicines to be refrigerated. healthy cooking and heating.

4 ACCESS TO MODERN FUELS/ ENERGY FOR COOKING: 2.7 billion people access energy through traditional biomass premature deaths everyday are due to biomass fumes (1,5 millions a year) (World Energy Outlook 2015, International Energy Agency)

5 UNITED NATIONS: : "Decade of Sustainable Energy for All" 2015: Sustainable Development Goals 7: affordable and clean energy to all by 2030 (pivotal role to achieve all 17 SDGs) Sustainable development? is not possible without a SUSTAINABLE ENERGY FOR ALL

6 Multipolar and open network for curricula and lifelong learning capacity development on System Design for Sustainable Energy for All (SD4SEA), focused on Sustainable Product- Service Systems (S.PSS) applied to Distributed Renewable Energy (DRE). Brunel Brunel University, School of Engineering & Design, United Kingdom Polimi Politecnico di Milano, DESIGN Department, Italy (coordinator) TU Delft Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands MAK Makerere University, Uganda + Local companies/ngos (associates) UOB University of Botswana + Local companies/ngos (associates) CPUT UONBI University of Nairobi, Kenya + Local company companies/ngos (associates) Cape Peninsula University of Technology, South Africa + Local companies/ngos (associates)

7 LeNSes SCOPE to promote a NEW GENERATION of DESIGNERS throughout a new generation of design EDUCATORS/RESEARCHER capable of DESIGNING SUSTAINABLE ENERGY SYSTEMS FOR ALL

8 the traditional centralized and non-renewable (e.g. fossil fuels) system of energy generation and distribution is unsustainable: a paradigm shift is needed towards Distributed Renewable Energies (DRE) STRUCTURE CENTRALISED TO DECENTRALISED AND DISTRIBUTED RESOURCE NON-RENEWABLE TO RENEWABLE DRE a (the) key leverage for Sustainable Energy for All

9 OFF GRID Electric M-POWER (provider) Tanzania Sustainable Product-Service Systems (S.PSS): win-win business model! SELLING PRODUCT TO UNIT OF SATISFACTION INNOVATION TECHNOLOGICAL TO STAKEHOLDER CONFIGURATION CUSTOM. VALUE INDIVIDUAL OWNERSHIP TO ACCESS it the economic intrest of the producer to design low environmantal impact product The M-POWER company offers to Tanzania rural people a Solar Home System (SHS) which includes: the hardware to generate solar energy (Solar panel + Storage + Wires) + Energy Using Products (EUP) (two lights + phone charger). Customers pays as a pay per period (daily fees). Off Grid Electric retains ownership of SHS and EUPs. The of cut initial and life cycle costs of DRE hardware make accessible to lowincome people (to all).

10 SELLING PRODUCT TO UNIT OF SATISFACTION INNOVATION TECHNOLOGICAL TO STAKEHOLDER CONFIGURATION CUSTOM. VALUE INDIVIDUAL OWNERSHIP TO ACCESS STRUCTURE CENTRALISED V TO DECENTRALISED AND DISTRIBUTED S.PSS RESOURCE NON-RENEWABLE = TO RENEWABLE DRE RH: S.PSS APPLIED TO DRE: A SUSTAINABLE MODEL FOR LOW/ MIDDLE INCOME CONTEXTS (ALL) because cut initial + life cycle costs of DRE hardware (extending access to all) increase local employment and skills (empower local communities) (entrepreneurial economic interest > environmental impact reduction)

11 RH: S.PSS APPLIED TO DRE: A SUSTAINABLE MODEL FOR ALL knowledge-base knowledge-base know-how Product-Service System design for Sustainability + know-how Distributed Renewable Energy (DRE) design and engineering NEW KNOWLEDGE-BASE and KNOW-HOW (method&tools) for: SYSTEM DESIGN FOR SUSTAINABLE ENERGY FOR ALL (SD4SEA)

12 LeNSes web platform ( S. AFRICA BOTSWANA UGANDA KENYA tested and refined in a series of pilot courses 4 curricular courses (EU teachers joining) 4 curricular courses BOTSWANA KENYA UGANDA S. AFRICA KENYA S. AFRICA BOTSWANA UGANDA 4 lifelong learning courses (EU teachers joining) NEW KNOWLEDGE-BASE and KNOW-HOW (method&tools) for: SYSTEM DESIGN FOR SUSTAINABLE ENERGY FOR ALL (SD4SEA)

13 LeNSes WEB PLATFORM Open Learning E-Platform/package (OLEP) web platform to upload OPEN and COPYLEFT learning resources: COURSES/LECTURES (videos, slideshows, texts, etc.), TOOLS, existing STUDY CASES and innovative PROJECTS proposals on SD4SEA. anyone can view, download and any teacher can modify/remix and reuse them

14 LeNSes VISION NEW ETHOS FOR (design) UNIVERSITIES to shift towards a multipolar, OPEN and COPYLEFT LEARNING-BY-SHARING distributed KNOWLEDGE GENERATION and DISSEMINATION

15 The LeNS evolution in time and the EU funded projects : LeNS: Learning Network for Sustainability project funded by EU Asia link : LeNSes: Learning Network for Sustainable energy systems project funded by EU Edulink II : LeNSin: international Learning Network of network for Sustainability project funded by EU Erasmus+
