Knowledge for Circular Economy approaches in cities Cities have been widely recognised as one of the leading actors of the transition from linear to circular economies . This knowledge dossier reviews some of the most relevant policy and research documents that highlight the role of cities in that transition. To this end, the document showcases results and outcomes of both policy and research analysis carried out by the European Commission and other partners. Similarly, the last section presents a review of European projects that address circular economy in cities in partnership with research institutions and other stakeholders. This document highlights for example, the Circular Economy Action Plan of the European Commission, as part of the New EU Green Deal, which devotes a specific action to the circularity of regions and cities. In addition, the Urban Agenda for the EU counts with a specific action plan on circular economy. International knowledge on the field come from the OECD, which has launched a specific programme on the circularity of regions of cities , Circle Economy and the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. Many research projects address the circular transition in cities, with the participation of many cities , metropolis and municipalities across Europe. Waste management, food systems and urban materials flows are the mos t common research topics addressed. Special attention is also paid to innovation and citizen engagement when promoting this circular transition. The aim of this knowledge dossier is to keep track of progress on circular economy challenges at urban level, by mutualising knowledge coming from several sources and partners, including scientists1. This document should be understood as an on-going activity able to integrate new sources, results and evidences. We welcome contributions2. 1 Second update (20/05/2020) 2 Edited by Javier GOMEZ, PhD and David Garcia, PhD, Joint Research Centre 1 EU Framework Circular Economy Action Plan (DG ENV) Action Plan Year: 2020 Link web: https://ec.europa.eu/environment/circular-economy/index_en.htm Action “Making circularity work for people, regions and cities”: Circularity for cities will be fostered through the European Urban Initiative, the Intelligent Cities Challenge Initiative and the Circular Cities and Regions Initiative. It will be also a priority area of the Green City Accord. Circular Economy Package (DG ENV) Report: achievements in three years of action plan (2016-2019) Link web: https://ec.europa.eu/environment/circular-economy/first_circular_economy_action_plan.html Highlights: Existing research on the circular economy is lacking a territorial focus. In addition, data at regional level on waste generated and processed and waste flows are lacking. Importance of bringing circular economy closer to citizens through replication of National Frameworks at local level (cities). Urban Agenda for the EU (DG REGIO) Action Plan, Bratislava Partnership, Circular Economy Year: 2018 Link web: https://ec.europa.eu/futurium/en/system/files/ged/ua_ce_action_plan_30.11.2018_final.pdf 7 policy actions in the axis: "Better Knowledge": 1. Prepare a blueprint for a Circular City Portal; 2. Urban Resource Centres for waste prevention, re-use and recycling, 3. Circular Resource Management Roadmap for cities, 4. Develop a Collaborative Economy Package Pack for cities, 5. Re-use of buildings and spaces, 6. City Indicators for Circular Economy, and 7. Pay-as-you-throw toolkit. Handbook (2020) on Sustainable & circular re-use of spaces and buildings that proposes a framework, models and tools for an urban circular re-use. It provides examples of multi-level governance elements of circular strategies and a review of best practises in European cities. Highlights: The application of Nature-Based Solutions can inspirit and facilitate the transition to circular economy. Practices of sustainable and circular re-use of abandoned or underused properties usually consist of the following elements/phases: inventory of properties; incentives to promote citizen participation; decision-making and financing; monitoring and evaluation. Urban Agency for Re-use (UAR) as an innovative management model. Reusability Index (RI) as a good tool to assess the suitability of a building to be re-used. Need to promote partnerships. Need to encorauge participatory processes and make citizens and organizations take part of the decision-making process. Need of administrative flexibility. Need of public funding. Sustainable & circular re-use of spaces and buildings handbook 2 Circular economy strategies and roadmaps in Europe: Identifying synergies and the potential for cooperation and alliance building (European Economic and Social Committee) Report Year: 2019 Link web: https://ec.europa.eu/environment/circular-economy/index_en.htm Highlights: The number of circular economy strategies at all levels is growing and the pace at which they are adopted is increasing. A relative low number of strategies at the local and regional levels compared to the ones available at the national level. Strategies are more effective when they address the circular economy comprehensively and include broad partnerships. Three types of strategies according to their approach: integrated strategies, strategies with a restricted sector focus, all-encompassing strategies with a clear setting of priorities. The most common economic sectors addressed in the strategies are manufacturing, construction, waste processing and food and feed. Civil society involvement is currently higher during strategy implementation than during strategy development. The most inclusive strategies are those considering balanced partnerships, involving all types of partners in different roles across the different stages of strategy development, and using different instruments for coordinating partner engagement. The report outlines an adaptable model strategy illustrating the key elements and needs of circular economy strategies. Policy makers are invited to reflect on six elements of documents: rationale of the strategy; experience and links to other policies and strategies; strategy objectives; implementation measures; governance; and a monitoring and evaluation plan.

  • Main Results Test with Hydrogen Train in Groningen
    MAIN RESULTS TEST WITH HYDROGEN TRAIN IN GRONINGEN CONTENTS Main Results of the Hydrogen Train Test in Groningen Result of test with hydrogen train in Groningen .......................................................4 The Test Dispensation .................................6 The Trial Runs ................................................7 The Refueling Process ..............................17 Press- and Public Information Day ........21 RESULT OF TEST WITH HYDROGEN TRAIN IN GRONINGEN At the start of 2020, after a long preparation period of as much as one and a half year, the Province of Groningen, together with various partners, did a feasibility study in the form of a pilot test with a hydrogen (battery) train (running on green hydrogen) to explore whether this could be a full-fledged sustainable alternative to the current diesel trains. The Province of Groningen sees an important role for green hydrogen • For greening the chemical sector (raw material). • As a fuel in heavy mobility (buses, trains, trucks, ships, aircraft). • As an essential piece of the puzzle regarding energy transition (storage, transportation). • This will also create new economic opportunities and employment. Pilot The trial runs were done on the track between Groningen and Leeuwarden during nighttime for a period of two weeks, with a passenger train running on green hydrogen. During the tests, the train ran a number of times at normal speed – without passengers – alternately as an intercity- and a local train – between the stations of Groningen and Leeuwarden. By these trial runs, practical experience was gained in running on hydrogen. This was the first time a train ran on hydrogen in the Netherlands. The tests focused on, among other things, the actual running, fuel consumption, and refueling.

That is how you could describe the Groningen Province House. No. 12 Martinikerkhof is the ‘old’ Province House, which houses the State Hall where the Provincial Council has met since 16 June 1602. That is unique for the Netherlands. No other province has used the same assembly hall for so long. The connection with the present is formed by the aerial bridge to the ‘new’ Province House. This section of the Province House was designed by the architect Mels Crouwel and was opened on 7 May 1996 by Queen Beatrix. Both buildings have their own ambiance, their own history and their own works of art. The painting ‘Religion and Freedom’ by Hermannus Collenius (1650-1723) hangs in the State Hall and paintings by the artistic movement De Ploeg are in the building on the Martinikerkhof. The new section features work by contemporary artists such as Rebecca Horn. Her ‘The ballet of the viewers’ hangs in the hall. The binoculars observe the entrance hall and look out, through the transparent façades, to the outside world. But there is a lot more to see. And this brochure tells you everything about the past and present of the Province House.

  • CHRISTIAEN COEVERSHOFF (Groningen 1595– the Hague 1659)
    CHRISTIAEN COEVERSHOFF (Groningen 1595– The Hague 1659) “Elegant Portrait of a Young Boy with Amulet” oil on panel 97.7 x 74.7cm Signed Work and Dated Work with Inscription “Aetatis sua jen fen ha anno 1633” For the month of November, the Soraya Cartategui Gallery is pleased to present you this very special and delicate portrait by the enigmatic Dutch painter Christiaen Coevershoff. The artist was born in Groningen in 1595 and died in The Hague at the age of sixty-four. Coevershoff specialized in portraiture and Christian religious representations and was most active in the cities of Amsterdam, Enkhuizen, and The Hague. Documentation of the time show that Christiaen Coevershoff was married to Janneke Seghers in Amsterdam in 1617. After having children in 1619 and 1621, the family disappeared from Amsterdam. A notarial act of 1639 shows that Coevershoff was then living in the city of Enkhuizen, where he produced some signed portraits. Further documentation indicates that Coevershoff was remarried in The Hague, but under the alias of Cornelis Jansz van Groningen and without indication of his previous marriage. It is likely that he took an assumed name to avoid paying the maternal portion to his daughter. Furthermore, despite his rather tenuous financial condition, Coevershof appropriated the title of Joncheer (a Dutch honorific of nobility) and changed his age. He second wife was Catharina Hellemans, daughter of the goldsmith and jeweler Cornelis Hellemans. In 1656, Couvershoff was one of the founding members of the Confrerie Pictura in The Hague. He died between January 28 and August 26 in 1659 at approximately 63 years old.
