  3. Brazil’s Urgency & Potential Potential: • Middle income country • Agri-business is responsible for 33% of Brazil’s GDP, 42% of exports, and 37% of employment. • The World’s Second largest number of twitter Users Urgency: • 4th largest emitter • Deforestation • Source: http://mapsof.net/map/brazil-flag-map

  7. Goals of the Capstone Project Identify most promising technologies to process livestock manure into feedstock for energy generation and emissions reductions, such as anaerobic digestion, biomass gasification, or any other un- or under-exploited WtE technologies, for practices and facilities of cattle, dairy, and swine farms in Brazil Seek various technology transfer channels and prospects Understand political and economic framework in Brazil in order to identify challenges and opportunities for WtE technologies to be integrated with policies that encourage growth and innovation in the agricultural and energy sectors Build business models for farmers and corporations in Brazil that promotes cost savings and revenue streams simultaneously by adopting sustainable and profitable WtE technologies Identify investment opportunities for both private and public sectors to address Brazil’s urgency for climate change mitigation and potential in renewable energy

  8. Capstone Project Partners:Interviews of Tessa Lee & Deirdre Heiss

  9. Theory of Change • Intermediate Outcomes • Increased number of farms interested/ implementing AD technologies • Increased number of exchange programs between students and farmers • Inputs • Literature Review • Stakeholder Mapping • Fieldwork: Collect data through interviews/ site visits • Outputs • Network is created via Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter (Gov 3.0) • Business model is established (Capstone) Immediate Outcome More dialogues are discussed among increased number of stakeholders • Long-Term Outcomes • Policy change in Brazil, such as tax reduction, to encourage AD technologies • Technology Transfer

  10. Cow Power: Features & Measures of Success • Platform (Gov 3.0) • Business Model (Capstone) • Network & Exchange (Gov 3.0+Capstone) • Immediate: Number of followers • Long-term: Number of AD adopters & Policy Change • Sources: www.andrewspenceonline.com • www.century21.ca • www.leadgenix.com

  11. Platform Features Introduction of the Capstone Project and the goals of this platform Links and summaries of the literature review and other researches that the team has done Safe space for exchange among followers
