This was the year when we started Brickz production at our Huissen site, in what over the years has become phyto-refinery the Groeiplaats.
Waterwegen en Zeekanaal was very satisfied with our results with regard to Bermstroom and, as a follow-up, asked us to write an application for the PIO scheme. An innovation programme of the Flemish Government. The subject was the further development of the verge current project in the form of pilots. We wrote this application and secured 17 million euros for our client.
Another particularly important aspect was the assignment we carried out for LTO Glaskracht, which resulted in the book ‘Voorwaarts Mars’, in which the circular greenhouse concept devised by Tom Bade was elaborated. The book has been translated into German and English because of its success.
