Accelerated innovation in crises: The role of collaboration in the development of alternative ventilators during the COVID-19 pandemic

Bridging Social and Technical Sciences: Introduction of the Societal Embeddedness Level

The successful and fast development and deployment of renewable energy and greenhouse gas reduction technologies is a continuing and structural challenge. The deployment of these technologies is slowed down and sometimes even stalled due to societal challenges like public resistance, lack of appropriate policy and regulations, unsolid business...

Understanding Societal Requirements of CCS Projects: Application of the Societal Embeddedness Level Assessment Methodology in Four National Case Studies

The DigiMon project aims to develop and demonstrate an affordable, flexible, societally embedded, and smart digital monitoring early warning system for any subsurface CO2 storage field. The societal embeddedness level (SEL) assessment is a novel methodology which provides insight into the societal requirements for technological innovation to be...

Knelpunten bij het data gedreven werken aan de energietransitie in de gebouwde omgeving

Het maatschappelijk inbeddingsniveau van renovatieconcepten en warmtebatterijen in de gebouwde omgeving

In het kader van het IEBB-project thema 5 (Gedragen Energietransitie) heeft TNO de interdisciplinaire Societal Embeddedness Level (SEL) methodiek toegepast op twee technologische innovaties in de gebouwde omgeving. Het doel is inzicht te krijgen in het niveau van maatschappelijk inbedding en de huidige maatschappelijke uitdagingen voor...

Digimon D3.2 Report on the outcomes of the Societal Embeddedness Level Assessment for CCS in four countries: Norway, the Netherlands, Greece and Germany

This document (DigiMon deliverable D3.2) describes the assessment of societal embeddedness level (SEL) of CCS in Norway, the Netherlands, Greece and Germany. It also provides recommendations for improving the societal embeddedness of CCS technology per country. Based on a contextualization of CCS for each country the SEL was evaluated using the...

Doelgedreven innoveren tijdens COVID-19: Lessen uit de ontwikkeling van alternatieve beademingsapparatuur

DigiMon D3.1. Guideline Societal Embeddedness Assessment

The Societal Embeddedness Level (SEL) is a novel methodology which provides insight in the societal requirements for a technological innovation to be deployed. It contributes to the realization of technological innovations in society: a societal embedded technological innovation accelerates and improves the chance of success for deployment. This...

Successful development of decentralised district heating: Application of a theoretical framework

One of the most important goals for energy transition is to reduce CO2 by turning to renewable energy, such as solar and wind energy. However, the production of renewable energy is not always an integral part of the energy system. Instead, it may have a decentralized basis, even up to the household level. In the Netherlands, this decentralizing...
