Sustainable Passive Cooling System

Passive Cooling Team wrote: Creating a system that cools the house both naturally and mechanically by using passive cooling techniques (architectural building techniques such as cross ventilation, building orientation, stack ventilation, etc. ) and natural techniques for cooling (wind catchers, court yard effect, evaporative cooling, etc), and materials to achieve sustainable and efficient energy consumption...

Sustainable kitchens

Environmentally fella wrote: Sustainable kitchens have a solar cooker, a solar heater for water as well as a solar dryer for fruits and vegetables. These devices are environmentally friendly because of their use of renewable energy, whereby they convert solar energy into heat, as well as being relatively affordable, another plus is that this kitchen employs a simple technology that can be used in refugee camps, in addition to it's variable sizes. It can also assist in creating extra income resources through the production and selling of dried foods. Part of our solution also involves carrying out awareness campaigns for citizens on how to use these kitchens and on environmental conservation... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Green Urban Design

GUD wrote: Our solution is composed of two parts, first a shed that is made of timber frames and climbing ivy trees, every unit is composed of five frames, with every unit being positioned 10 meters away from the next one. This part of our solution provides shade and decreases co2 due to the ivy presence. The second part of the solution constitutes of walls that are made of mud and are 9 meters long , 3-2 meters wide, these walls contain green panels, small fans with filters, it also contains fenestrations of variable sizes, the side that is facing wind is wider than the opposite side. These fenestrationcool the air by blocking wind movement and creating counter currents that are cooler and more purified... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Regreening the Desert Training Centre

Regenerative Agriculture Sudan wrote: A training and demonstration site that teaches herding communities and individuals how to produce pastures from desert land using only their livestock and rain. This process of regreening the desert was pioneered by allan savory and is known as holistic planned grazing. It fights desertification all the while sequestering massive amounts of co2. The training centre will seek to 1) spread the practice of these sustainable grazing methods, 2) incubate projects implementing these methods, and 3) provide clients with a promising export market for livestock products abroad, where climate-friendly meat and produce are quickly becoming a trend...

Mangrove: Help Earth Breathe

Mangrove Team wrote: Our solution is divided into two parts, the first part includes the planting of mangrove forests along the red sea coastline that is 760 kilometer long, these forests will have an enormous positive impact in absorbing co2 emissions, these forests will also serve in marine conservation. The second part of our solution is a project that will assist in the funding of the mangrove forests planting as well as spreading awareness concerning environmental challenges, ; this will be accomplished by the establishment of a factory that manufactures biodegradable shopping bags that will have also tags that spreads information regarding the environment...

Organic Rankine Cycle turbine

Low-temperature heat can be captured and converted into electricity through the Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) system. Againity takes advantage of low-temperature heat down to 90 degrees and can perform with systems in the range of 50-2500 kW energy production. The modularity of the Againity solution means they can be combined and scaled. Automation steers the system but can also be remotely controlled. The intended market is for heat sources from water boilers, treatment plants, or industrial processes.

Algae based solar efficiency enhancing material

Through the extraction of nanoporous material from algae, a material with unique light altering, absorbing, and releasing properties can be created. It is useful in a wide variety of industries, such as cosmetics and biomaterials. Of potential interest from a perspective of avoided emissions, is that the material has been shown to be able to increase the efficiency of solar panels and cells (PV) both in lab and in field. The coating can be used on solar cells to improve efficiency by 4-5 % depending on the installation scale.
