We create bike frames made of bamboo

Changboo wrote: My nature my bike our bicycle frames are mostly made of natural resources. Changboo bicycle frames are manufactured from bamboo and hemp fiber both of which have a positive impact on the carbon footprint. Of the product. Riding a bicycle is environmentally sustainable, with our bamboo bike it's even more!. Leave the car at home and take the bike!.. Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Suncrowd

suncrowd wrote: We use crowd-financing to install solar panels on a customers roof for free. In turn, the customer has to draw electricity directly from suncrowd at a competitive price (cheaper or equal to grid price). With these earnings, we are able to pay back an interest rate to the crowd and still make profit. . We will collect the money through a modern web plattform, and use the plattform as a marketing channel at the same time. Energy consumers will be able to monitor their bills and statistics in real time. . In the end, our goal is to lower the barriers for using solar power and bring solar power to its full potential...

Industrial high productivity CO2 recycling equipment

NeoCarbons wrote: Migration from fossils means alternative ways of sourcing raw materials. Since all carbon chains, whether for foods, feeds, chemical industries, come from co2, neocarbons is proposing a patented equipment that can capture and transform co2 from industrial sources into high value chemicals, on a real time basis (zero net), competitively, profitably and in respect of sustainable development principles. On a 5 m2 footprint the solution recycles 165 tons of co2 annually; it is conceived to be easily upscaled into industrial production plants in order to tap to tap the 20 gt of industrial co2 rich gaseous effluents.

Decentraslied waste to energy managment

Innovopilis Waste Solutions wrote: Innovopolis offers a decentralized waste management service that contains waste within the built areas of the community and turns it into energy at the point where it is generated: a self-sufficient service which eliminates the need for waste collection, waste incineration and waste landfilling. Our solution can be applied to any community, from rural communities like islands to large multi-complex properties such as high-rise buildings and by doing so we reduce the annual carbon footprint of every inhabitant by 1 tonnes of co2...

Returning wire hangers to dry cleaners

Boomerang wrote: Boomerang collection cartons are a functional way for customers to collect wire hangers from their dry cleaners and return them for reuse. At the same time, they offer dry cleaners the opportunity to place advertisement on the cartons and increase customer loyalty by offering discounts for returned hangers. Both parties save money: customers by not disposing them with the household trash and dry cleaners by not having to buy new ones. And what's more important, the amount of co2 for production and import as well as trash from single-use of the wire hangers is reduced!.. Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Air quality monitoring platform

AirBie wrote: Our platform allows monitoring of air quality through a network of sensors of nox, co, nh3 and fine dust and other pollutants to measure air quality together with the geolocation of the sensors. The data of the sensors are stored in an immutable blockchain, a new distributed database. Our platform provides real-time rendering of the air quality data on a city map with full transparency and traceability... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Reducing the data carbon footprint

Swiss Vault Systems wrote: Data is driving the new global economy, and the world’s datasphere is predicted to grow 10x by 2025. Currently, data centers use 3% of the global energy production, and this will expand to 10% in the next decade. Our patentable innovative data storage technology is 100x more efficient in electrical power consumption, 200x more efficient in space utilization - thus, decreasing overall carbon emissions and making data management “greener” for our innovation economy...

Umweltlink AG

Umweltlink AG wrote: Many types of industrial waste-water cannot be treated by conventional sewage plants. In developing countries, they go into rivers untreated. In highly developed countries they are burnt at very high cost. We have developed a low-cost technology to treat industrial waste-water. The scientific description of our technology is oxidative reduction of chemicals in aqueous systems with internal superoxide support. We call it orcaswiss. The orcaswiss reactor takes in industrial wastewater and treats if with air and hydrogen peroxide. The reactor lets out clean water which can be treated further and ultimately produce drinking water... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Clean energy to emerging countries

hiLyte wrote: In emerging countries, one billion people do not have access to electricity and spend up to 30% of their wages to light up and charge their phones. Most of sub-saharan african people own a phone but need to go back to town to charge it. Hilyte develops an iron battery based on a model of consumables to replace regularly (iron, paper, and iron salt), that enables people to get light and charge a phone. Our solution is cheap and nontoxic, which allows to operate small electronic devices (led, phone charger, etc . ). After inserting the consumables, they get discharged and the end solution can be dumped on the ground without any harm for the environment... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad
