Abstract
In the Dutch government research programme ‘Sustainable Technological Development’ it is investigated how technology could contribute to a sustainable society. By means of ‘Area of Need Analyses’ and ‘Illustrative Processes’, methods are developed to induce breaches of trend (leapfrogs) in technology development, in order to achieve a factor of 20 increase in environmental efficiency in the next 50 years. Examples are given from the ANAs ‘Sustainable Mainport Rotterdam’ and ‘Feeding’, and from the IPs ‘Sustainable Office Building’ and ‘Novel Protein Food’. Attention is paid to cultural and structural factors relating to technology development
