Baudouin de HEMPTINNE

Ocean

Baudouin is a slavic Belgian and happy father of three. He spent his life on 4 continents and 1 ocean. In 2006, he decided to take a 14-month long sabbatical to sail around the Atlantic. he crossed the ocean twice and built a project in the Sine Salum (Senegal). He was motivated by the pressing need to show his family the magnificence of our planet.

Nature

While sailing the world, Baudouin created the Knights of the Order of Nature with the simple idea that clothes DO make the main. By taking the oath, the new knights swore to protect Nature with concrete actions.  This community expanded to Belgium, France and USA.

Network Builder

In 2008, Baudouin left for 5 years in Asia (South Korea). There, he discovered the unique and exceptional relationship between Buddhism and Nature. The relation is far away from his initial anthropocentric view of the world. Nature deserves respect. There, he started to build a network and community.  He arrived in San Francisco in 2013 in an all new constructed environment. Here, tech and well being work together to solve the issues the nature is facing today.

24h du Mans






Baudouin's yearly objective is to ride his bike for a total of 1500 miles when travelling in San Francisco. A goal he will achieve 3 years in a row in June. He has also participated at he bicycle rally "24h du Mans" in 2018 on the famous Bugatti race track

Gery Gevers

Gery is a gifted father of 3 young women who helped him to understand that humans are just one part within the whole earth system. Engineer by education, Gery loves to adopt a holistic view to understand how elements interact and to create solutions that make sense.

Consciousnes

Gery tries to consciously access the social and environmental impact of each of his daily decisions. The entirety of his city garden has been transformed, thanks to his family, into a vegetable garden following permaculture principles. This made him realize that in a couple of years, leaves, roots and fruits can bring an abundance of delicious food and dramatically increase biodiversity.


 Operational Passionate

Eager to learn and discover, Gery has spent close to 20 years in various operational and leadership roles in a med-tech company to engage in a fight against cancer. Persevering and pragmatic, he is convinced that collective intelligence is able to guide humanity through the major transformation shift it needs to undertake.

Bikepacker Addict

On his solo 1000 miles' bike tour from Belgium to Spain last summer Gery caught the "long distance biking" bug thanks to all the sensations it brings : 
the perception of connection with nature, its inhabitants, the body and the soul.

Bike the World with the Sun: Go Big Gery and I have decided to bike a long-distance race, which is solar only. The Sun Trip: The Solar Bike Adventure The Sun Trip concept combines adventure, racing, cycling, and solar energy. Cycling represents freedom, discovery, and meeting locals while exploring the earth. While electric bikes have revolutionized the cycling world, they still have a limitation: autonomy. Solar bikes provide an answer: the sun. The range becomes infinite, and the energy produced is non-polluting. The Sun Trip concept is a race that tests the robustness, reliability, and efficiency of solar bikes and riders by sending them on routes around the world. Participants design a wide variety of prototypes that embark on adventures to determine the fastest. In summary, the Sun Trip is an innovative cycling race that combines technology, sustainability, and exploration. 🌞🚴‍♂️ The Sun Trip - Destination Sahara: 2024 marks the 5th edition of the Sun Trip (original format), wh...

Hydrogen fuel cartridge .. let's power bikes ?

By
As "green" hydrogen production and storage has become an EU green deal central strategic axis, more and more innovative solutions emerge from academic and industrial players. Early this month, the Fraunhofer institute published an article presenting a prototype of what we can call "hydrogen power paste": hydrogen power paste (source : Fraunhofer institute) The principle behind is to create a magnesium hydride paste (whereas a high quantity of hydrogen is stored). When water is added to the mix, hydrogen gas is produced and can be used in a fuel cell to create electricity.  In the previously published article describing hydrogen fuel principles and applications, we mentioned that this H2 energy source was particularly suited for heavy transportation such as trains, trucks, or boats. This power paste concept is particularly interesting for light mobility or applications where there are no refill stations neither H2 storage tanks easily available. One can think of Hyd...

3, 2, 1, ZERO Waste!!!   A company and a city in California, the perfect match to save the planet by making waste more valuable than ever.    Solena Group and Lancaster City are embarking on the production of greener-than-green hydrogen and will transform Lancaster City into the alternative energy capital of the world. The Lancaster plant will be ready to produce 11,000 kg per day. Working 24/7, 8,000 hours a year, the facility will be able to supply 3.8 million kg, the equivalent of 3,800 tons of green hydrogen per year.  This project will allow the Lancaster facility to become three times larger than any other green hydrogen supplier already in existence and with the advantage of using a method that will allow having clean hydrogen without going through methods that will increase the final price.   The primary material, which is waste, will be provided by the City of Lancaster. This project will allow the company to produce clean hydrogen from 40,000 tons...
