Freight club against transport emissions

Freight Club wrote: Our solution is a software that enables companies in dense industrial areas to connect to share their unused capacities. This can easily be rolled out in additional areas as there are thousands of similar cases in germany and beyond. Furthermore, closer collaboration on transport could lower the risk of transitioning to lower-emissions vehicles, such as electric of fuel cell trucks. The software could be financed by a subscription model for the participating firms. The cost savings and image improvement through lowering emissions and increasing efficiency will more than make up for the subscription fee... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Sustainable energy from nitrogen

greeNergy wrote: Greenhouse gas emissions, especially n2o emissions, are emitted by treating the residues of biogas processes. Recent studies have revealed that n2o emissions contribute to approximately 6% to the global climate change and are potentially the main contributor to the ozone depletion of the 20th century. The greenergy process combines intentional n2o production from biogas production residues, subsequent harvesting and combustion with biogas. As a result, clean water and green energy from n2o combustion ultimately make the biogas production a more self-sufficient and clean technology... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Digital platform with an incentive system

EcoIncome wrote: Today’s average consumption based ghg emissions per person in the western world are way too high. But there are no really good icentives to reduce them. Our digital platform with an eco fee and share mechanism enables a competition for the lowest eco footprints: 1) the eco footprints of the users are measured mainly automatically on the basis of financial spending information, 2) the users monthly virtually pay for their eco footprints, 3) 100% of entire revenue are redistributed equally within the community ("ecoincome"). 4) finally, the users' surplus and deficit amounts are subject to real financial transaction. Positive effect: constant motivation for everyone to reduce their eco footprints... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Digital battery twins

CipLab wrote: Ciplab uses the new capabilities of iot by developing hardware and software to determine and predict the state of health of electric vehicle batteries. Based on empirical and data based algorithms, the state of health of a lithium-ion battery system is analyzed in the form of a cloud-based virtual twin to provide lifetime forecasts and, for example, enable reusing of lithium-ion batteries. Ciplab helps companies better understand the state of health of their batteries at any time and can use their data for an optimized sustainable battery usage...

Intelligence for heating systems

othermo wrote: The generation of heat and hot water is responsible for almost half of europe’s energy demand and hence one of the biggest contributors to co2 emissions. Othermo saves energy by making heating systems smart. Among others, othermo considers demand as well as local renewable generation forecasts in the control strategy. Thereby, we are able to lower the expenses for energy and at the same time reduce carbon emissions. A win-win situation for the building owner and the environment...

Optimizing the Public Transportation

Ariadne wrote: Ariadne aims to optimise the use of public transportation by providing useful information like the exits & nearby compartments in the train to their destination so that the passengers have a much more efficient way to use the public transportation services. This would aid in the implementation of the policies in the pipelines of many modern cities like paris, london, brussels, hamburg, etc to eliminate the use of polluting private vehicles from the cities. . The modern day cities are fighting the air and noise pollution caused by the extensive use of private vehicles in the city. Some of the cities like paris, brussels, jakarta have banned the use of private vehicles in parts of the city centre or for limited periods of time... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad
