Solar service for urban multi-tenant buildings

EINHUNDERT Energie deliver solar power as a service with digital metering services to multi-tenant and commercial buildings. As well as offering solar power for multi-tenant-buildings EINHUNDERT Energie has an app that unites and visualizes digital metering data (energy, heat, water). The German “Energiewende” (energy transition) is therefore made accessible to millions of people living or working in rental and shared spaces, giving access to clean technology as a service.

Reversible solid oxide cells

Reversible solid oxide cells are single devices that can both split water to produce hydrogen, as well as convert hydrogen back to electricity. Solid oxide cells typically operate at very high temperatures, which avoids the need for precious metal catalysts. However, the high temperatures mean that the materials a solid oxide cell need to have extraordinary properties. Sunfire has developed this technology to find materials that are up to the task, thus enabling the use of green electricity as a renewable feedstock for industry and mobility. The PowerCore solid oxide cell stack is Sunfire's technology for the production of steam electrolysers and high-temperature fuel cells.

Liquid organic H₂ carriers for H₂ logistics

Hydrogen (H₂) is the energy vector of the future. Although it can be used in many industrial sectors, its current solutions for storage and transportation are hazardous and inefficient. Hydrogenious GmbH have developed an alternative technology for H₂ storage and transportation–liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) technology. H₂ is chemically bonded to a stable carrier liquid. Thus, H₂ loses its explosive character and can be stored and transported in the well-known and already existing oil infrastructures. Hydrogenious claims that LOHC is the key to a viable H₂ society.

Modular solar system and DC micro-grid for off-grid applications

SolarWorXUG has developed a modular solar solution for households and small businesses in off-grid areas. Each system can accommodate a 80 Wh or 160 Wh battery and two 50 W solar panels. Individual systems can be interconnected with their DC micro-grid modules so that energy-intense appliances, such as milling machines, can be powered and the security of supply for each connected household is increased. The introduction of solar power can lower the dependency on diesel fueled generators in remote areas.

Bike Tree

Bike Tree wrote: Our idea is to raise the awareness of the population about the bicycle as a sustainable mean of transport. More and more people are willing to use their bicycles instead of their cars. However, they often do not dare to use their e-bikes or expensive bicycles, as there is a high risk of bicycle theft in large cities. The bike tree is a secure and environmentally friendly bike storage system. Also, it increases the quality and livability of a city by bringing open space with green by nature inspired designs...

Foodprint - Food education fun

Foodprint wrote: With this system, foodprint supports the reduction of food waste on two levels: staff of the canteen can organize grocery shopping in a better way - only the essential ingredients are purchased, limiting careless spending on excess or unnecessary items . Canteen visitors learn to appreciate and value food in a playful way. They gain a better understanding of their own eating habits and are rewarded when less food is thrown away...

Cycle wrote: In the world of mixed information and busy lifestyles, correct waste disposal may seem intimidating and time-consuming. In spite of common belief, not all plastics are recyclable and when they are, they need to be free of any leftover produce that might contaminate the whole batch. Our team worked on a mobile app that would facilitate it as well as encourage zero-waste alternatives. Our platform focuses primarily on recycling, reusing and reducing. Our solution consists of scanning a bar code to get information on the correct way of disposing of a packaging/object... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Extreme weather

LoWA - Local Weather Alert wrote: We take weather forecasting to the city grid level. Collecting weather data such as temperature, humidity or even wind speed from a broad local network of sensors constituting among others so-called lorawan sensors and city weather stations, we create a unique dataset mapping the local city weather. If weather parameters reach a critical level due to extreme weather events, we are able to provide location-specific alerts tailored to the weather conditions through our api. These can be used to warn people ahead of time for example in case of extreme heat or flooding... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon
