Ambition Sample Clauses

Ambition. As is the case for the other sectors, we wish to realise a true transition for the industry sector. This means that we wish to offer industrial businesses prospects to ensure the transition to radical greenhouse gas emissions reductions in the Netherlands will take place. Although it would be possible to realise the national targets by shifting industrial activities abroad, increasing emissions abroad would ultimately not benefit the climate, and this shift would create a risk of loss of activity and jobs in the Netherlands. For that reason, the realisation of the reduction ambitions will have to go hand in hand with retaining a business climate that is attractive to businesses in the industry sector. This will contribute to our prosperity, our well- being and the nation’s employment. Broadly speaking, Dutch industry will be able to shape the transition through measures such as process efficiency, energy savings, CCS, electrification, use of blue and green hydrogen and acceleration of circularity (such as plastics recycling, biobased raw materials or steel2chemicals). This is by no means a blueprint for the transition, but rather the starting point for an adaptive process, in relation to which there are major differences in costs per 25 xxxxx://xxx.xxx.xx/nl/adviezen/energietransitie-en-werkgelegenheid. 26 Social and Economic Council (SER) (2018), Energy Transition and Employment Advisory Report. technology type. Green hydrogen and the circular economy are issues regarding which the Netherlands will be able to distinguish itself on an international level. Transformation processes will take place within the region, where synergies will have to be created between businesses. This will, for example, also involve connection to the heating demand in the built environment. Since the 1990s, Dutch policy has been aimed at strengthening regional clusters of connected businesses and knowledge institutes to support competitiveness and innovation. In recent years, Top Sector policy was chiefly responsible for strengthening the regions by way of the "triple helix" formula, which sees public authorities, businesses and knowledge institutions working together.27 The fruits of this strategy are primarily discernible in urban regions, which focused significantly on strengthening one specific sector, such as the Brainport in the vicinity of Eindhoven and Food Valley near Wageningen. Recently, the government decided to modernise its Top Sector policy by shifting its scope fr...

Ambition. The overarching ambition for BlueBio is to “unlock the potential of aquatic bioresources”. With the aim to: • Substantially contribute to the ERA on Blue Bioeconomy, creating a BlueBio Knowledge Community. Such a community would have three legs, i) our network of programme owners and programme managers, ii) a network among projects funded by the Cofund, facilitating knowledge exchange and capacity building, potentially linked with other trans-national, thematically related projects, and iii) a network of stakeholders as outlined in the Stakeholder Engagement Plan and the Communication and Outreach Workplan. • Substantially contribute to increased production of aquatic bioresources, their consumption and the environmental sustainability of the harvesting and cultivation of aquatic bioresources; thereby as well contribution to SDGs 2 and 14. • Improve professional skills and competences within the blue bioeconomy. • Contribute to policymaking in research, innovation and technology relating to the use of aquatic bioresources in the Europe’s bioeconomy. BlueBio will seek to achieve this ambition in the following ways: • Looking for measures and methods to produce more aquatic product for food markets within the EU and additionally for export with a view to improving the balance of trade. • Make new, innovative and sustainable use of traditional aquatic bioresources for improved and new products and services. • Make sustainable use of new and unexplored aquatic bioresources from marine & freshwater, including exploration of microbiomes for production purposes; also enhancing the alternative use of by-products from production as a resource, not as waste. • Build new value chains and improve sustainability of existing value chains, including focus on circular economy. • Make use of blue biotechnology for substantial improvements along the value chain. • Identify and prioritise needs and gaps along the value chains for further calls and supportive actions. • Stimulate knowledge production, knowledge exchange and targeted knowledge communication and dissemination

Ambition. The proposal is designed to help making significant progress beyond the state of the art in various ways: - First, it will provide new evaluated files/libraries for a number of key isotopes in a form ready to be applied by the end-users, including actinides. In particular, it will include some key isotopes for present and advanced nuclear reactors and nuclear waste management, like Plutonium isotopes, structural materials like Chromium, and several fission fragments, but also new evaluations of nuclear structure of isotopes of relevance for nuclear waste management. Plutonium isotopes produce a large fraction of the nuclear fissions and power at the end of the fuel irradiation, the fission fragments contribute to the decay heat at short and long term and the structural materials contribute to the reactivity balance and to the production of radioactive wastes of intermediate half- life. So, the new data will allow a more precise assessment of the safety and performance of the nuclear reactors under operation, help reduce excessive margins in new designs of advanced reactors, and allow a more precise description of waste management streams and options. This includes the characterization of the composition and characteristics of the spent nuclear fuel to be stored in the deep underground final disposal but also options for closed fuel cycles with advanced waste minimization elements. - Second, it will provide differential measurements of several isotopes to improve the data to be evaluated (actinides like Pu, Am and Th isotopes), but it will also provide other important missing data that can be directly used by experts involved in evaluation and validation work as part of international efforts (IAEA, NEA and XXXX). These measurements will include cross section of potential components of new fuels designed to be more tolerant to accident conditions, decay properties of isotopes important to understand the radioactivity (neutrons, alpha, beta and gamma radiations) and heat source of spent nuclear fuel, which are of importance to the design of waste disposal facilities. The measurements will also provide new data needed for non-energy applications in particular for two aspects of health applications of nuclear technology: the secondary doses in medical therapeutic irradiations and the efficiency and innovation on production of standard and new isotopes for medical nuclear diagnostics and therapy. - Third, the proposal will develop new tools to be used within the...
