===Five pillars===
The five pillars of the Third Industrial Revolution, as described by Mr. Rifkin in his book ''The Third Industrial Revolution'' are:
# '''Shifting to [[Renewable Energy]]''': Renewable forms of energy— [[Solar energy|solar]], [[Wind power|wind]], [[Hydropower|hydro]], [[Geothermal energy|geothermal]], [[Wave power|ocean waves]], and [[biomass]]— make up the first of the five pillars of the Third Industrial Revolution. While these energies still account for a small percentage of the global energy mix, they are growing rapidly as governments mandate targets and benchmarks for their widespread introduction into the market.
# '''Buildings as Power Plants:''' New technological breakthroughs make it possible, for the first time, to design and construct buildings that create all of their own energy from locally available [[renewable energy]] sources, allowing us to re-conceptualize the future of buildings as “power plants”. The commercial and economic implications are vast and far reaching for the [[Real estate industry|real estate]] industry and, for that matter, [[Europe|every region in ]] the [[world]]. In 25 years from now, millions of existing and new buildings – [[home]]s, [[offices]], [[shopping malls]], industrial and technology parks – will serve as both “power plants” and habitats. These buildings will collect and generate energy locally from the [[sun]], [[wind]], [[Waste|garbage]], agricultural and forestry waste, [[Wind wave|ocean waves]] and [[tides]], [[Hydropower|hydro]] and [[geothermal]]– enough energy to provide for their own power needs as well as surplus energy that can be shared.<ref>{{cita libro|apellidos=Rifkin|nombre=Jeremy|título=The Third Industrial Revolution: How Lateral Power Is Transforming Energy, the Economy, and the World|año=2011|editorial=Palgrave Macmillan|ubicación=New York|isbn=978-0-230-11521-7|páginas=43–48}}</ref>
# '''Deploying [[Energy_storage#Hydrogen|Hydrogen]] and other [[Energy storage|storage technologies]]''' in every building and throughout the infrastructure to store intermittent energies. To maximize [[renewable energy]] and to minimize cost it will be necessary to develop storage methods that facilitate the conversion of [[Intermittent energy source|intermittent supplies of these energy sources]] into reliable assets. [[Battery (electricity)|Batteries]], differentiated water pumping, and other media, can provide limited storage capacity. There is, however, one storage medium that is widely available and can be relatively efficient. [[Energy_storage#Hydrogen|Hydrogen]] is the universal medium that “stores” all forms of [[renewable energy]] to assure that a stable and reliable supply is available for power generation and, equally important, for transport.<ref>{{cita libro|apellidos=Rifkin|nombre=Jeremy|título=The Third Industrial Revolution: How Lateral Power Is Transforming Energy, the Economy, and the World|año=2011|editorial=Palgrave Macmillan|ubicación=New York|isbn=978-0-230-11521-7|páginas=48–50}}</ref>
# '''Using Internet technology to transform the [[power grid]]''' of every continent into an energy sharing Internet that acts just like the [[Internet]]. The reconfiguration of the world's [[power grid]], along the lines of the internet, allowing businesses and homeowners to produce their own energy and share it with each other, is just now being tested by power companies in Europe. The new smart grids or intergrids will revolutionize the way electricity is produced and delivered. Millions of existing and new buildings—homes, offices, factories—will be converted or built to serve as green power plants that can capture local [[renewable energy]]—[[Solar Energy|solar]], [[Wind power|wind]], [[Geothermal Energy|geothermal]], [[biomass]], [[Hydropower|hydro]], and [[Wave power|ocean waves]]—to create electricity to power the buildings, while sharing the surplus power with others across a smart energy Internet, just like we now produce our own information and share it with each other across the Internet.<ref name=TIR>{{cita libro|apellidos=Rifkin|nombre=Jeremy|título=The Third Industrial Revolution: How Lateral Power Is Transforming Energy, the Economy, and the World|año=2011|editorial=Palgrave Macmillan|ubicación=New York|isbn=978-0-230-11521-7|páginas=50–59}}</ref>
# '''Transitioning the transport fleet to [[Electric Vehicles|electric]], plug in and fuel cell vehicles''' that can buy and sell electricity on a smart continental energy Internet. The electricity we produce in our buildings from [[renewable energy]] will also be used to power [[Electric Vehicles|electric]] plug-in cars or to create [[Energy_storage#Hydrogen|hydrogen]] to power [[fuel cell]] vehicles. The [[Electric Vehicles|electric]] plug in vehicles, in turn, will also serve as portable power plants that can sell electricity back to the main grid.<ref>{{cita libro|apellidos=Rifkin|nombre=Jeremy|título=The Third Industrial Revolution: How Lateral Power Is Transforming Energy, the Economy, and the World|año=2011|editorial=Palgrave Macmillan|ubicación=New York|isbn=978-0-230-11521-7|páginas=59–63}}</ref>
These five pillars make up an indivisible technological platform—an emergent system whose properties and functions are qualitatively different from the sum of its parts. In other words, the synergies between the pillars create a new economic paradigm that can transform the world.
==Big Data and the Third Industrial Revolution ==
As Rifkin describes on [http://www.thethirdindustrialrevolution.com/ the Third Industrial Revolution website], "The intelligent TIR infrastructure—the first smart infrastructure in history—will connect everyone and everything in a seamless network. People, machines, natural resources, production lines, logistics networks, consumption habits, recycling flows, and virtually every other aspect of economic and social life will be connected via sensors and software to the TIR platform, continually feeding Big Data to every node—businesses, homes, vehicles, etc.—moment to moment in real time. The Big Data, in turn, will be analyzed with advanced analytics, transformed into predictive algorithms, and programmed into automated systems, to improve thermodynamic efficiencies, dramatically increase productivity, and reduce the marginal cost of producing and delivering a full range of goods and services to near zero across the entire economy.
Some of the leading IT companies in the world are already busy at work on the build-out of the intelligent TIR infrastructure. GE’s “Industrial Internet,”<ref>http://www.ge.com/stories/industrial-internet</ref> Cisco’s “Internet of Things,”<ref>http://share.cisco.com/internet-of-things.html</ref> IBM’s “Smarter Planet,"<ref>http://www.ibm.com/smarterplanet/us/en/?ca=v_smarterplanet</ref> and Siemen’s “Sustainable Cities”<ref>http://www.usa.siemens.com/sustainable-cities/</ref> are among the many initiatives currently underway to bring online an intelligent infrastructure that can connect neighborhoods, cities, regions, continents, and the global economy, in what industry observers call a global “neural network.”<ref>http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~bolo/shipyard/neural/local.html</ref> The network is designed to be open, distributive, and collaborative, allowing anyone, anywhere, and at any time, the opportunity to access it and use the Big Data to create new apps for managing their daily lives.
The increased energy efficiency and accompanying productivity gains that come with the shift into a Third Industrial Revolution infrastructure, prepares the way for a sustainable circular economy. Using less of the earth’s resources more efficiently and productively and making the transition from carbon based fuels to renewable energies, is a defining feature of the Collaborative Age."
==3D Printing in the Third Industrial Revolution==
As Rifkin describes on [http://www.thethirdindustrialrevolution.com/ the Third Industrial Revolution website], "While the Third Industrial Revolution (TIR) economy allows millions of people to produce their own virtual information and energy, a new digital manufacturing revolution now opens up the possibility of following suit in the production of [[durable goods]]. In the new era, everyone can potentially be their own [[manufacturer]] as well as their own [[internet site]] and [[power company]]. The process is called [[3D printing]].<ref>{{cita web|apellido=Rifkin|nombre=Jeremy|título=The Third Industrial Revolution: How the Internet, Green Electricity, and 3-D Printing are Ushering in a Sustainable Era of Distributed Capitalism|url=http://www.worldfinancialreview.com/?p=1547|obra=The World Financial Review|fechaacceso=12 de abril de 2013}}</ref>
[[3-D printing|3-D Printers]] run off a [[three dimensional]] product using [[computer aided design|computer aided design. ]] S[[software|oftware]] directs the 3-D printer to build successive layers of the [[Product (business)|product]] using powder, molten plastic, or metals to create the material scaffolding. The 3-D printer can produce multiple copies just like a [[photocopy]] machine. All sorts of [[good (economics)|goods]], from [[jewelry]] to [[mobile phones]], [[automobile|auto]] and [[aircraft parts]], medical implants, and [[Battery (electricity)|batteries]] are being “printed out” in what is being termed “[[additive manufacturing]],” distinguishing it from the “[[subtractive manufacturing]],” which involves cutting down and pairing off materials and then attaching them together. 3-D entrepreneurs are particularly bullish about additive manufacturing, because the process requires as little as 10 percent of the [[raw material]] expended in traditional [[manufacturing]] and uses less energy than conventional factory production, thus greatly reducing the cost.<ref>{{cita web|título=3D Printing|url=http://edition.cnn.com/TECH/specials/make-create-innovate/3d-printing/?hpt=hp_c2|editorial=CNN|fechaacceso=12 de agosto de 2013}}</ref>
The energy saved at every step of the digital manufacturing process, from reduction in materials used, to less energy expended in making the product, when applied across the [[global economy]], adds up to a qualitative increase in [[Efficient energy use|energy efficiency]] beyond anything imaginable in the First and Second Industrial Revolutions.<ref name="TIR" />
The democratization of manufacturing is being accompanied by the tumbling costs of marketing.<ref name="TIR" /> Because of the centralized nature of the communication technologies of the first and second industrial revolutions—[[newspapers]], [[magazines]], [[radio]], and [[television]]—marketing costs were high and favored giant firms who could afford to devote substantial funds to market their products and services. The [[internet]] has transformed marketing from a significant expense to a negligible cost, allowing start ups and small and medium size enterprises to market their goods and services on [[internet sites]] that stretch over virtual space, enabling them to compete and even out compete many of the giant business enterprises of the 21st century.<ref>{{cita web|título=Local Small Businesses, In Surprise Twist, Out Compete the Big Guys Online|url=http://marketingpr.eu/news,url,local-small-businesses-in-surprise-twist-out-compete-the-big-guys-online.html|editorial=Marketingpr.eu|fechaacceso=12 de abril de 2013}}</ref>
As the new 3-D technology becomes more widespread, on site, just in time customized manufacturing of products will also reduce logistics costs with the possibility of huge energy savings. The cost of transporting products will plummet in the coming decades because an increasing array of goods will be produced locally in thousands of micro-manufacturing plants and transported regionally by trucks powered by [[green electricity]] and [[hydrogen]] generated on site.<ref name="TIR" />
The lateral scaling of the Third Industrial Revolution allows small and medium size enterprises to flourish. Still, global companies will not disappear. Rather, they will increasingly metamorphose from primary producers and distributors to aggregators. In the new economic era, their role will be to coordinate and manage the multiple networks that move commerce and trade across the value chain."<ref name="TIR" />
==Implementing the Five Pillars ==
===European Union===
On May 29, 2012, the [[European Commission]] held a conference in Brussels with the theme, "Mission Growth: Europe At The Lead Of The New Industrial Revolution."<ref name="Mission Growth - Europe at the Lead of the New Industrial Revolution">{{cita web|título=RECORDED Conference "Mission Growth - Europe at the Lead of the New Industrial Revolution"|url=http://ec.europa.eu/avservices/video/player.cfm?ref=85716|editorial=European Commission|fechaacceso=11 de abril de 2013}}</ref> [[José Manuel Barroso|Manuel Barroso]], the President of the [[European Commission]], and [[Antonio Tajani]], Vice President and Minister of Industry and Entrepreneurship, co-hosted the summit. Vice President Tajani called for a comprehensive Third Industrial Revolution economic agenda to regrow the European economy and create an integrated European single market. In his speech, Vice President Tajani said, "Today is a good day for all of us, because today is the beginning of the Third Industrial Revolution. Now the European conversation will go beyond austerity, straight to creating growth and jobs in Europe. My slogan is: 'Without a new industrial policy, no growth, no jobs.'"<ref name="Mission Growth - Europe at the Lead of the New Industrial Revolution" /> He continued by saying that "the first industrial revolution was the revolution of coal and steam, the second was the oil one. This Third Industrial Revolution is the internet of energy and is not only about energy. It involves many key sectors, from raw materials, to manufacturing, services, construction, transport, Information Technologies and even chemistry."<ref name="Mission Growth - Europe at the Lead of the New Industrial Revolution" /> Finally he went on to say, "Because its energy sources are distributed and not centralized, and therefore scale laterally and not centrally, [The Third Industrial Revolution] is the ideal playground for SMEs.... our 2020 strategy puts us on the right path but we must now accelerate and put more resources on growth, and this must be based on sustainability, testing the edge of our technological frontiers."<ref name="Mission Growth - Europe at the Lead of the New Industrial Revolution" />
Jeremy Rifkin followed Vice President Tajani's address with a keynote speech on the Third Industrial Revolution vision and game plan for Europe.<ref>{{cita web|título=Industrial innovation Conference "Mission Growth"|url=http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/policies/innovation/policy/conference-mission-growth_en.htm|editorial=European Commission|fechaacceso=12 de abril de 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cita web|apellido=Executive Summary|título=An Executive Summary of Jeremy Rifkin’s Keynote Speech for the Mission Growth Summit: Europe at the Lead of the New Industrial Revolution, hosted by The European Commission, May 29th 2012|url=http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/policies/innovation/files/mg-speech-rifkin_en.pdf|editorial=European Commission|fechaacceso=12 de abril de 2013}}</ref>
In January 2008 the [[European Commission]] proposed binding legislation to implement the 20-20-20 targets. This ‘climate and energy package’ was agreed by the [[European Parliament]] (EP) and Council in December 2008 and became law in June 2009.<ref>{{cita web|título=The EU climate and energy package|url=http://ec.europa.eu/clima/policies/package/index_en.htm|editorial=European Commission|fechaacceso=12 de abril de 2013}}</ref> [[Europe]] is leading the way to the Third Industrial Revolution through mandating a cut of 20% of emissions of [[greenhouse gases]], compared with 1990 levels, moving toward a 20% increase in the share of renewables in the energy mix, and cutting energy consumption by 20%, all by 2020. The 27 EU member states are making every effort to ensure that the remaining stock of [[fossil fuels]] is used more efficiently and are experimenting with [[clean energy]] technologies to limit [[carbon dioxide]] emissions in the burning of conventional fuels.<ref>{{cita web|título=EU climate package explained|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/7765094.stm|editorial=BBC|fechaacceso=12 de abril de 2013|fecha=9 de abril de 2010}}</ref>
In [[Brussels]], February 1, 2010, the Environment Committee of the European Parliament, chaired by [[Jo Leinen]] MEP, and representatives of the five major political groups in the EP joined today with Europe’s main associations representing small and medium-sized companies ([[UEAPME]]), consumers’ interests ([[BEUC]]), cooperatives(Cooperatives Europe) and the Foundation on Economic Trends in a call for a “Third Industrial Revolution” ahead of the European Council’s summit devoted to energy. The European Parliament will forward a declaration to [[Herman Van Rompuy]], President of the European Council, and [[José Manuel Barroso]], President of the European Commission, requesting a comprehensive legislative plan with adequate means to implement the “Third Industrial Revolution” energy strategy across Member States.<ref>{{cita web|apellido=Press Release|título=Stakeholders urge EU institutions to support the "Third Industrial Revolution"|url=http://www.ueapme.com/IMG/pdf/110201_joint_pr_third_industrial_revolution.pdf|editorial=UEAPME|fechaacceso=12 de abril de 2013|fecha=1 de febrero de 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cita web|título=Leaders urged to spur new industrial revolution|url=http://www.endseurope.com/25505/leaders-urged-to-spur-new-industrial-revolution|fechaacceso=12 de abril de 2013|fecha=1 de febrero de 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cita web|título=The Week Ahead 31 January - 6 February 2011|url=http://www.europarl.europa.eu/pdfs/news/expert/agenda_week_by_type/06-2011/06-2011_en.pdf|editorial=European Parliament|fechaacceso=12 de abril de 2013|fecha=31 de enero de 2013}}</ref> The plan also focuses on the shift to a new economic paradigm for the next stage of European integration.<ref>{{cita web|título=European Council: Post-Carbon Economy Requires Third Industrial Revolution|url=http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:mf45G3Tnw1MJ:cetri-tires.org/press/?dl_id%3D51+%22Third+Industrial+Revolution%22,+European+Parliament,+Brussels,+1+February+2011&hl=en&gl=us|editorial=Fativa, Inc.|fechaacceso=12 de abril de 2013|fecha=2 de febrero de 2011}}</ref>

Former [[Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change]] [[Chris Huhne]] publicly endorsed the need for a Third Industrial Revolution. He constructed a framework for the UK in the "The White Paper for Energy Market Reform."<ref>{{cita web|apellido=Huhne|nombre=Chris|título=Planning our electric future: a White Paper for secure, affordable and low-carbon electricity|url=http://www.decc.gov.uk/assets/decc/11/policy-legislation/EMR/2175-emr-white-paper-exec-summary.pdf|editorial=Gov.uk|fechaacceso=12 de abril de 2013|fecha=12 de julio de 2011}}</ref><ref name="Chris Huhne">{{cita web|apellido=Huhne|nombre=Chris|título=Planning our electric future: a white paper for secure, affordable and low-carbon energy|url=https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/planning-our-electric-future-a-white-paper-for-secure-affordable-and-low-carbon-energy|editorial=Gov.uk|fechaacceso=12 de abril de 2013|fecha=12 de julio de 2011}}</ref> The White Paper components includes a [[Decarbonisation_Measures_in_Proposed_UK_Electricity_Market_Reform#Carbon_Price_Floor|Carbon Price Floor]] (announced in Budget 2011) in an effort to reduce investor uncertainty, putting a fair price on carbon and providing a stronger incentive to invest in low-carbon generation now.<ref name="Chris Huhne" /> It also includes the introduction of new long-term contracts ([[Decarbonisation_Measures_in_Proposed_UK_Electricity_Market_Reform#Feed-in_tariff|Feed-in Tariff with Contracts for Difference]]) to provide stable financial incentives to invest in all forms of low-carbon electricity generation.<ref name="Chris Huhne" /> Also in the White Paper is an [[Decarbonisation_Measures_in_Proposed_UK_Electricity_Market_Reform#Emissions_Performance_Standard|Emissions Performance Standard]] (EPS) set at 450g [[CO2]]/[[kWh]] to reinforce the requirement that no new coal-fired power stations are built without [[carbon capture and storage]] systems, but also to ensure necessary short-term investment in gas can take place.<ref name="Chris Huhne" /> Chris Huhne also includes a Capacity Mechanism, including demand response as well as generation, which is needed to ensure future security of electricity supply.<ref name="Chris Huhne" />
===Netherlands===
In 2010, Mr. Rifkin and the Third Industrial Revolution Global CEO Business Round Table, along with government of Utrecht, developed a Third Industrial Revolution Master Plan to transition the region into the new economic paradigm.<ref name="TIR Utrecht Master Plan">{{cita web|apellido=Rifkin|nombre=Jeremy|título=Road Map for Utrecht to Transition into the Third Industrial Revolution|url=http://thethirdindustrialrevolution.com/MasterPlan/index_UtrechtMasterPlan_book.html#/0}}</ref>
On June 6, 2010, the "Utrecht2040: Entrepreneurship with New Energy" conference was held, bringing together decision makers from business, including the national energy companies, construction companies and engineering firms, the Utrecht knowledge institutions and government. The Urecht Energy Master Plan was implemented to incorporate the pillars of the Third Industrial Revolution into action steps.<ref>{{cita web|título=Utrecht Roadmap To A Third Industrial Revolution|url=http://www.thethirdindustrialrevolution.com/MasterPlan/index_UtrechtMasterPlan_book.html|obra=The Office of Jeremy Rifkin|fechaacceso=12 de abril de 2013|last1=Rifkin|first1=Jeremy|last2=Easley|first2=Nick|last3=Laitner|first3=Skip|last4=Bailey|first4=Tom|last5=Boyer|first5=Jeffrey|last6=Wolkenfelt|first6=Marco}}</ref> [[Utrecht]] is one of the fastest growing areas in the [[Netherlands]], as well as all of Europe, and is spearheading the European Union's transition toward biosphere politics, and the shift away from geopolitics.

===Italy===
In 2009, Jeremy Rifkin and the Third Industrial Revolution Global CEO Business Round Table contracted with the city of Rome and Mayor Alemanno in order to develop a Third Industrial Revolution Road Map for the region.<ref>{{cita web|apellido=Rifkin|nombre=Jeremy|título=A Third Industrial Revolution Master Plan for Rome|url=http://thethirdindustrialrevolution.com/MasterPlan/index_RomeMasterPlan_book.html#/0}}</ref>
On January 24, 2011, the [[CGIL]] conference was held in [[Rome]], [[Italy]]. The event was organized by TIRES, which is the Third Industrial Revolution European Society. For the first time ever, all the forces of business, those representing the capital and those that represent the work, are united in the same battle for a new energy model that will create jobs and new business opportunities for companies in the area, innovative training for workers, and applied research opportunities for original research organizations. Topics included the discussion about new labor opportunities that will develop and become essential in the new post-carbon society.<ref>{{cita web|apellido=Consoli|nombre=Angelo|título=Conference in Rome CGIL-Rifkin: The Third Industrial Revolution, jobs through the sustainable energy|url=http://cetri-tires.org/press/2011/conferenza-cgil-rifkin-a-roma-la-terza-rivoluzione-industriale-posti-di-lavoro-tramite-lenergia-sostenibile/?lang=it|fechaacceso=12 de abril de 2013|fecha=24 de enero de 2011}}</ref>
===U.S.===
In 2009, Jeremy Rifkin and the Third Industrial Revolution Global CEO Business Round Table contracted with the City of San Antonio to create a Third Industrial Revolution Master Plan for the city to transition into the Third Industrial Revolution economic vision and game plan.<ref>{{cita web|apellido=Rifkin|nombre=Jeremy|título=San Antonio Leading the Way to a Third Industrial Revolution|url=http://thethirdindustrialrevolution.com/MasterPlan/index_SanAntonioMasterPlan_book.html#/0}}</ref>
In 2009, San Antonio had already taken significant first steps toward a new era of sustainability. The City of San Antonio’s “Mission Verde” and the CPS Energy’s “Vision 2020” both emphasize specific actions that the community has taken to transition into the Third Industrial Revolution.<ref name="Mission Verde">{{cita web|título=Mission Verde: Building a 21st Century Economy|url=http://www.sanantonio.gov/sustainability/MissionVerde/MissionVerdePlan.aspx|obra=Office of Mayor Phil Hardberger|editorial=Sanantonio.gov|fechaacceso=12 de abril de 2013|fecha=28 de enero de 2009}}</ref><ref>{{cita web|título=Vision 2020 and Beyond|url=http://energiamia.org/downloads/sustainability_plan_100509.pdf|obra=CPS Energy|editorial=Energiamia.org|fechaacceso=12 de abril de 2013|fecha=5 de octubre de 2009}}</ref> Green jobs and adequate financing mechanisms are among the challenges being addressed by the City’s Mission Verde plan. And CPS Energy has already embraced the need for a more energy-efficient economy that is increasingly powered by renewable energy and other clean energy technologies. These actions, coupled with the insights and ideas that emerged from the April 2009 workshop on sustainability (convened by the City of San Antonio and CPS Energy) provide the groundwork for specifying how the vision of a Third Industrial Revolution might be applied to the specific conditions and constraints faced by the city of San Antonio.<ref name="Mission Verde" />

===United Nations===
In 2011, Rifkin's Third Industrial Revolution vision and economic development plan was embraced by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO). Quoting Dr. Kandeh K. Yumkella, Director-General of (UNIDO)and chairman of UN Energy,"[The Third Industrial Revolution is] A provocative strategy for transforming the global energy system. This book may help frame the social and economic solutions for the 1.5 billion poorest people who lack access to clean, reliable, and efficient energy services.”[21] Speaking alongside Mr. Rifkin at a joint press briefing at the UNIDO biennual conference in 2011, Director-General Yumkella said "We believe we are at the beginning of a Third Industrial Revolution and I want all member countries of UNIDO to hear the message and ask the key question, how does this apply to our economies, how can we be part of this revolution, and of course how do we share knowledge, share capital, and investments around the world to make this revolution really happen."
