ReFunghi

ReFunghi wrote: Refunghi is a city lab and community project in the field of sustainable product design and urban food production. It wants to bring together people with different cultural and disciplinary backgrounds. To fight the global climate crisis, we need to change urban life substantially. With refunghi we want to focus on mushrooms which can not only be used as a sustainable source of proteins but also for ecofriendly materials like alternatives for plastics or vegan leather. Mushrooms can be grown under urban conditions and on supposed waste like coffee grounds, which is another benefit for a more efficient use of our limited resources...

BikeBuddy

Attractive Cyclists wrote: We gathered extensive geographical data from the openstreetmap, including the positions of street lights and tram tracks in the city of heidelberg. Using the openrouteservice, we generated various routes within heidelberg and analysed their properties with regard to these features. As a proof of concept, we implemented an application that can generate three routes between two points: the shortest one, the one with the highest proportion of illumination, and the one with the smallest intersection with the tram tracks. As a motivational gimmick, the amount of co2 saved by not using an (average) car for this distance is displayed... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Climactiv - be active.

Climactiv - be active. wrote: Let us imagine ashanti. She wants to engage in climate action but finds it difficult to find the right way to do this. But we have the solution, by offering our holistic sustainability approach “climactiv” to ashantis employer, in our example sap (this could also be a city, university or a country). The sample sap was chosen because of their high engagement on sustainable growth of the region. This allows ashanti to collect climate points throughout her day, which she does by coming to work by bike, having a vegetarian lunch and participating in the tree planting challenge in the evening. Additionally, she can enter new challenges for other employers, which can be rated by her colleagues... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

SpringUp

SpringUp wrote: What is the main idea?. We implemented a webapp, which allows a community-driven and internationally scalable method of collecting data for blooming trees. Our goal is to collect as many images of blooming trees as possible to provide a more detailed analysis of the effects of climate change on phenology. How does it work?. A user is challenged to take a picture of a blooming tree in their community. We predict blooming species of trees on a local level based on historical data. When the user uploads an image of a blooming tree, our machine learning model analyzes the picture to classify if the tree is the correct species and if it is in fact blooming. Once verified, the user is eligible for prizes (e. G... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Touch Climate

Touch Climate wrote: We chop down the huge bulk of information about climate change into small, digestible pieces in our interactive graphs. People can get a good picture of climate change facts on the go, as well as about how their local behavior can contribute to the big solution. With weekly changing graphs provided by touch climate, people can experience how rising global co2 levels have been connected to days of extreme heat per year in their hometown over the last 70 years, calculate the co2 emissions they produced on their way to the shopping center, or see what the different scenarios set out by the international panel of climate change (ipcc) actually implicate for global temperature, and more..

Localot

Localot wrote: Localot provides an infrastructure to connect local retailers with customers in their city. This connection is achieved through a combination of an online shop with a "last-mile" delivery system based on bicycles. On our platform, customers can learn about, compare and buy their needed goods from their local shop. Through our routing system, a bike rider fetches the ordered products picked by the retailer and delivers them within a short time period. In this process, waste is avoided through a pawn system which is based on reusable packaging (e. G. Aluminium boxes). Therefore, our customers can enjoy their locally provided and emission-freely delivered products without having to stress about going shopping for themselves... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Mvua Nzuri!

Mvua Nzuri wrote: Typically, the soil type is not consistent throughout the field. It varies. Instead of pouring each and every inch of it with the same intensity, it makes more sense to irrigate certain areas only when really necessary.  to determine the need, we have developed low-cost, wireless sensorpacks that can be put anywhere into the soil. The sensors measure rain, brightness, humidity, soil moisture, temperature and air pressure. However, their great potential will only occur if several sensors are distributed over the field and linked with each other. Due to triangulation of the signal transit time, it is possible to calculate their relative position in the mesh... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

FoodAbdruck

It will evalute based on your food choices, how much co2-emission was needed to produce that product. It will than suggest environmental friedlier alternatives and therefore decrease your carbon foodprint. Even so this might be small values in the beginning, summed up over the years it will have a big impact.  . In addition, we used web scraping to extract text data from recipes to identify the needed incredients. We calculated the amount of each item and computed the corresponding c02 equivalent...
