Executive Summary Super Efficiency Enables Material World 2025 Material World 2025 means “super efficiency comes true”. That is the shared vision of the i-25 team, a group of visionaries that represents a diverse cross-section of both industries and academia. There will be many constraints in the path towards 2025. As population explodes and the global economy expands, expect shortages of skilled labor, energy, material, water, and food, to name but a few. It is the shared view of the i-25 team that the human society will find a way to flourish. Indeed, history shows that constraints are the mother of innovation. The human appetite for a better quality of life, combined with the increasing constraints, will galvanize people and organizations towards “innovate and prosper” opportunities. The i-25 team envisions two major paths towards a super-efficient Material World 2025, which are likely to surface in many different sectors within the next 15 years. Opportunities to Re-invent Traditional Industries The first path will be geared towards sustaining innovations that help transform traditional industries. There is still significant room for improvement in traditional industries to make them more efficient and waste free. To achieve super efficiency in traditional industries, life-cycle transparency of key resources is essential. This includes tracking energy footprints, material footprints, water footprints etc. over the entire supply chain. Standards and tools that facilitate cross-boundary collaboration will become the key to facilitate sustaining innovation in traditional industries. Opportunities to Invent New Industries The second path will be driven by the so-called disruptive innovations that create new industries, which either replace or build on traditional industries. While it is difficult to predict where and when disruptive innovations happen, dramatic efficiency improvements in those areas where traditional industries are heavily dependent on limited resources are good segment candidates. Since Mother Nature still holds many mysteries to be unlocked, expect to find a wealth of insights leading to disruptive innovations. © The i-25 Team, July 2011 Page 3/15

i-25 White Paper 2.
Background The Inception of the i-25 Team In 2010, Yokogawa created a set of future scenarios that described possible value pattern shifts that might have a profound impact on the process industry within the next 15 years. Yokogawa tested these scenarios with select visionaries in the European process industry community in late 2010 and early 2011. Strong Commitment for Green Earth Material A Whole World New World High-value new Energy and ICT materials dominate Services dominate Tangible Products the world economy the world economy Intangible Offerings Retain their Value acquire new Value Let it Be & Lazy Days Oil & Gas still fuel the world economy while industries undergo a tremendous structural change No Global Consensus Upon receiving their positive feedback to these scenarios, Yokogawa decided to invite more visionaries into this open and pre-competitive dialog about what may happen to the process industries. The joint interest of the team is to stimulate each other and to be ahead of the curve, preparing for and preempting discontinuous changes that might usher in new opportunities for innovation. Material World 2025 Workshop On July 4th and 5th, 2011, the extended visionary team met for two days to explore the Material World scenario. This is a world where accelerated innovations in both products and processes enable a sustainable society while creating new sources of wealth for the process industries. © The i-25 Team, July 2011 Page 4/15

Shared Vision of Material World 2025 Constraints Drive Innovation For this vision to become a reality, a perfect storm of “constraints driving innovation” will have to change the landscape of various industries. From the mega trends, it is likely that we will face an explosive growth in population over the next 15 years, which in turn will push up the global demands for energy, material, water, food, and other necessities of the industrialized society. Meanwhile, under this scenario, global awareness for sustainability will have reached sufficient levels forcing global consensus on policies and regulations. As a result, two often-conflicting yet complementary forces will be unleashed: the force of disruptive innovations spearheaded by bold start-ups and the force of sustainable innovations perfected by big incumbent companies. New innovative industries will emerge while traditional industries will also re-invent themselves to capture the new values created in Material World 2025. © The i-25 Team, July 2011 Page 6/15

i-25 White Paper Super
Efficiency Comes True Material World 2025 means, “super efficiency comes true”. It is a world that has successfully overcome the multiple shortage constraints of energy, material, water etc. -- not by lowering our quality of life, but by innovating our way out of the constraints. It is a world where there is no waste in the industrial supply chain. “100% conversion to value” has become the reality. Furthermore, the majority of the products used daily in our society are built on the “cradle-to-cradle” concept, enabling close to 100% recycling. Measuring the energy efficiency of these recycling materials and products requires the establishment of a new reference index; ‘carbon footprint’ is one example. This movement changes not only industry but also individuals and society. Every person understands that they play a key role in the sustainable world, such as recycling waste material or products in the home. In addition, society establishes the infrastructure for recycling and cooperates closely with industry to complete the value chain of recycling in an economical way. As we have learned from history, innovative technologies have opened the door to new worlds and improved our quality of life: innovative technologies and ideas lead us to the Material World. 100% Conversion To Value Transparent & Sustainable Sources of Sustainable Lifestyles Collaborative Material, Water, Energy & Consumer Behavior Industry Supply Chain 100% Recycling An Image of Super Efficiency © The i-25 Team, July 2011 Page 7/15

i-25 White Paper 4.
Reinvent Traditional Industries Sustaining Innovation Towards Super Efficiency The i-25 team believes that the first place to look for innovative opportunities, to usher in super efficiency, is traditional industries. Traditional industries, especially heavy process industries, are very conservative in nature and are not the natural candidate for innovation. Shortages of materials, energy, water, skilled workforce, etc. are already a very real and pressing issue in traditional industries. The i-25 team views these constraints as a long-overdue wake-up call -- the biggest potential driver of innovation that can evolve traditional industries into the backbone of a prosperous “Material World 2025”. It is the shared view of the i-25 team that there is an opportunity for improvement in traditional industries to make them more efficient and waste-free. The barrier for further improvement is not necessarily technologies as there are already many technologies available that can help transform traditional industries. What the i-25 team identified as major barriers to innovation in traditional industries are, among others, risk-averse conservatism, standards and regulations perpetuating “the way it has always been done here”, and lack of cross-boundary collaborations. Conversely, if open innovation can become the norm in traditional industries, it could start a chain reaction that may propel the most conservative sectors into the leaders of sustaining innovation. A Case in Point: Cradle-to-Cradle Production Efficiency Since the conservatism of traditional industries is not a single company’s making, the i-25 team focused on the challenge of cross-boundary collaboration. The recurrent theme here was the Cradle-to-Cradle concept1 as promoted by Michael Braungart, a path towards zero-waste supply chain. It means creating an overall supply chain that enables 100% conversion to value, encompassing 100% recycling back to feedstock. For this Cradle-to-Cradle concept to become a reality, it requires more than technologies alone. First, it requires a pro-innovation business eco-system that promotes rapid diffusion of innovations. The conservative sectors may be able to learn the best practices of "fast innovation from the success of the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector. "2 The ICT sector, thanks to digitalization, has introduced a wide variety of new technologies. Digital circuits replaced analog circuits and digital circuits further transformed into software. 1 Michael Braungart, “Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things”, 2002 2 Kouichi Ogawa, “Business Model Innovation for Standardization”, 2009 © The i-25 Team, July 2011 Page 8/15

defined module interfaces and assured interoperability, enabling any given company to quickly and easily harness the state-of-the-art innovations. The i-25 team believes that pro-innovation standards will play a key role in replicating this open innovation model in the more conservative sectors. Standards & Inter- The second major requirement is the Operability transparency of the entire supply chain. The traditional industries can benefit Pro-Innovation Business Eco-System from: 1) Efficiency metrics that are consistent over the supply chain and 2) Lifecycle traceability tools that can Transparency of the Entire Supply Chain track such sustainability metrics as energy footprint, material footprint, Supportive Mindset in Visualization, Management, Policy water footprint, etc. over the life-cycle Tracking & Makers and End Decision Support Consumers of a given end product. To reiterate, cross-boundary collaborations to put Education, Human Capital consistent metrics and tools in place will be the key. Furthermore, as the Cradle-to-Cradle Production Efficiency amount of data needed to calculate and visualize these key metrics will be overwhelming, advanced visualization, and modeling mechanisms will be a necessity. The ICT sector provides an interesting concept called big data3. It is a concept to handle the wealth of data coming from the so-called ubiquitous computing environment, where sensors are embedded everywhere in our society. The big data concept aims at getting real value out of this huge repository of data by automated algorisms that support and/or eliminate the need for human decision-making, thereby reducing information overload. The third major requirement is the supportive mindset in company management, policy makers, and end consumers. The i-25 team firmly believes a worldwide commitment to continuous investments in education and human capital is necessary to enable the reinvention and revitalization of the traditional industries. 3“Big data: the next frontier for innovation, competition, and productivity”, McKinsey Global Institute, May 2011, http://www.mckinsey.com/mgi/publications/big_data/index.asp © The i-25 Team, July 2011 Page 9/15

i-25 White Paper 5.
Invent New Industries Disruptive Innovation towards Super Efficiency While sustaining innovations in the traditional industries will go a long way for a prosperous Material World 2025, the i-25 team sees exciting new opportunities for disruptive innovations at the same time. Disruptive innovations often arise outside the traditional industries, creating previously unknown categories that could either replace or complement the traditional industries. By their very nature, it is hard to “predict” disruptive innovations, but they would certainly be most welcome in those segments where traditional industries are heavily dependent on limited resources. If disruptive innovations allow us to harness the power of biochemical reactions, for example, we could envision a “biochemical complex” that applies biochemical reactions to the production of bulk material. For that reason, it may be possible to replace and/or supplement synthetic chemical processing with less hazardous and more sustainable methods of production. A Case in Point: Learning from Mother Nature One may not need to look too far to gain new insights that stimulate disruptive innovation. Mother Nature provides us with many examples of super-efficiency in biochemical processes, which could suggest two paths toward disruptive innovations. One path is finding novel ways to utilize organic materials we see in abundance around us, while the other is learning from exotic natural environment discoveries found in new frontiers such as deep sea and space. Utilization of organic materials can have multiplying effects on sustainability. Organic materials are lighter and more resilient. Discovery of new applications for organic materials will allow the industry to replace heavier and difficult-to-handle materials with metals that are lighter, safer, and easier to manage. We see emergent/potential applications of organic materials in areas such as: Light elastic, high-tension, fibers that allow safe and more fuel-efficient transportation replacing steel and aluminum in automobiles, aircraft, and trains Organic Electroluminescence (EL) devices that could replace LEDs, electric bulbs, and fluorescent tubes for lighting Fully organic batteries based on electron-rich organic membranes, replacing metals such as Mn, Pb, or Ni-Cd in batteries.

organic EL film could give birth to a wide variety of new household appliances Learning from exotic natural environments will take time due to their prohibiting locations, but once unlocked, their potential to stimulate new applications and industries could be enormous. For example, we normally live in an ecosystem of moderate temperature and pressure with solar energy and photosynthesis from chlorophyll. Ocean science in the 20th century discovered an incredible deep-water hydrothermal vent, where biological communities exist at very high temperatures and pressures in a nearly supercritical condition. The food chain, in these areas, started from chemosynthetic bacteria living on sulfur compounds such as hydrogen sulfide. A study of the biochemistry and DNA sequence of such microbes could provide the possibility of innovative energy and food creation as well as the utilization of deep-water materials such as rare metals and other valuable chemicals. Other environments that are worth looking into include supercritical state of materials and microgravity in space. For biochemical processes and organic materials to become an integral part of the industrial supply chain, new measurement and analysis technologies need to be developed. Sensing solutions must be ready for accurate in-vivo or in-situ measurement of biochemical processes. Some of these new instruments must be able to operate under extreme conditions, helping to unlock the mysteries of the exotic environment.

Expanding Horizons During the short time the i-25 team was together, they envisioned many different possible scenarios across mature and emerging economies and across many different sectors of the economy, but were only able to explore a limited number to any depth. Below is a summary of other possibilities to expand the horizons and open up several more opportunities for 2025. Horizons for Innovation in Many Different Sectors The i-25 team envisioned many opportunities for both disruptive and sustaining innovations in many sectors such as manufacturing, healthcare, agriculture, water supply, energy supply, and transportation that go well beyond the process industries. Many of the challenges and wishes identified during the workshop imply that similar sets of innovation will happen all over the supply chain and infrastructure of our society.

The team admitted though that technology was not ready yet for this but could be emerging in the 2025 timeframe. As the global population continues to expand and with added technology improvements, the team sees the extraction of ever greater resources from the sea beyond deep sea oil drilling. With the continuing depletion of fish and other seafood, the team views © The i-25 Team, July 2011 Page 12/15

as an important source of food in the future. In 2025, most major cities could follow the lead of Singapore and London and virtually eliminate the need for cars. It is possible by 2025 the USA will develop a nationwide transportation system not built solely on air transportation. In any case, the i-25 team wants reliable, affordable, and safe transportation by 2025. We see moves in that direction now with small electric powered urban vehicles. As these become ubiquitous, we will see easy methods of recharging them at charging sites while taking a coffee break and catching up on e-mail. Life expectancy has improved significantly in the past quarter century and the i-25 team sees the health and medical sector continuing that trend. New materials will help with the development of less intrusive sensing devices and medical treatments. Wearable monitors – maybe even as part of the wristwatch – will allow a daily check on our health via cloud based applications linked to our doctor’s office and local hospital. Someday personal medicines will address problems that have yet to occur. Maybe the biggest issue in this energy hungry world – the team asked as a final question “How do we exploit completely new energy sources such as space, hydrothermal vents and so on. While this will not be an issue in the 2025 horizon, as hydrocarbon based energy will still be available, new materials will not only allow us to obtain more oil from each well and to get access to new sources such as shale gas, they will also allow us to harness energy sources from previously unknown areas such as thermal vents in volcanoes. As space travel and exploration also become a part of daily life and journeys to the moon and beyond become routine, the team sees the ability to harness energy from space as something that will start to grow. Horizons for Innovation in both Mature and Emerging Economies The i-25 team thinks that while the mature economies of the USA, Western Europe, and Japan will remain stable and possibly even decline from a technology point of view, the booming BRICS economies of Brazil , Russia, India and China will drive innovation to maintain their growth in the use and re-use of key natural resources. In addition, the Next 11 economies including Korea, Pakistan, and Vietnam will start to put additional demands on these limited resources such as energy, water, and food. How will they get the energy they need such as light, water, food, and mobility? The i-25 team sees the ability to efficiently and cleanly generate, transmit, and store energy and to supply safe and clean water to all as a key part of the BRICS and Next 11 economies © The i-25 Team, July 2011 Page 13/15

growth. The Material World will deliver new chemicals and biochemicals that allow these resources to last longer, be re-used, or recycled. As water becomes the ‘new oil’ it will create renewed interest in desalination technology, which allows desalination of seawater locally or in people’s homes. Small local power generation systems, based on new very high efficiency jet engine turbine technology, will allow people in remote areas to have light and power at reasonable cost. There are some common themes that run through these expanded horizons. Limitations to vital resources such as water and energy will drive us to investigate re-use and recovery technologies, as well as more sophisticated exploration techniques. Several members of the i-25 team envision ‘humanity’ reappearing as employers and managers start to treat human resources as ‘human’ again. Due to the shortage of skilled people, rewarding and challenging jobs will become available again as companies strive to keep their valuable people. This also opens up another facet of 2025 – predictive healthcare using sensors that can predict medical conditions before they happen and tailor pharmaceuticals to address individual needs. According to the i-25 team there will be breakthrough improvements in existing technologies through better risk management and more accurate simulation technologies. These, breakthroughs will encourage a culture of innovation and re-invention supported by politicians who have a good knowledge of science and engineering. © The i-25 Team, July 2011 Page 14/15

Conclusion It is the i-25 team’s shared conclusion that the key enabler of a prosperous “Material World 2025” is cross-boundary collaboration among visionary people and organizations. Be it sustaining innovations that redefine traditional industries or disruptive innovations that usher in new industries, no single company or organization can lay the necessary groundwork. Pro-innovation people and organizations need to work together to help the industry embrace new standards, new performance metrics, new mindsets, and new ecosystems that are conducive to innovation. The i-25 team desires to maintain and expand its open, pre-competitive, and cross-boundary dialog for the future. Both face-to-face workshops and online networking allows the i-25 team to keep identifying new challenges. Since this is an open group of visionaries, new visionaries are welcome who are willing to contribute to such a cross-boundary dialog.
