Help to find the right investor for a venture

sheprd wrote: Venture capital investors reject about 97% of startups pitches they receive. Investors want to see as many dealflow as possible and hence provide very broad profiles. As a result entrepreneurs, particularly these launching sustainability ventures in cleantech or novel hardware applications, spend too much time finding the right investor. The surge in machine learning, algorithms and data visualization opens vast opportunities to analyze massive amounts of data and present it in a simple way. However current venture data analytics platforms cater for investors, corporates or service providers. These tools are often too complex and very expensive for startups. Sheprd is a solution for startup financing... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Fermentaya

fermentaya wrote: 30% of our rest bin still contains organic waste? what if we can bring it back into a biological cycle to reduce the climate impact. It is widely common in japan to ferment its organic waste at home in a container called bokashi. The container is not easy to handle because it requires lots of manual work. Fermentaya is bokashi 2. 0. Collecting organic waste at home is now easy. There is no smell and it is not disgusting. All your organic material can go in – there are no exceptions. The handling is convenient, and it is designed as a continuous process. The dosing of the microorganism, the compression of the organic waste and the automatic drain of the fermentation juice into a bottle... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Empowering healthy decision-making

Atlas Sensing Labs wrote: In a world where air pollution causes 6. 5 million premature deaths annually, in europe 500,000, there are still hundreds of thousands of cities (population > 50,000) where no air quality network exists. Air pollution can not be controlled without data. Our solution provides any urban area with a hyper-local monitoring network combined with modeling for the high spatial-temporal data needed for effective policy decision-making at an accessible price. Lower air pollution levels mean: fewer premature deaths; major savings on health, agriculture, infrastructure, the environment; while also having significant co-benefits for climate change...

Turning abandoned mineral waste into insulation

FenX wrote: Thermal insulation materials are mostly flammable, toxic and having high carbon footprint due to the production process. After the london grenfell fire in 2017, there are increasing demands for non-flammable insulation materials. To address this need, a new type of non-flammable insulation foam is developed at eth zurich. The foam is produced from non-toxic materials and has zero co2 emission during production...

We make hydropower more cost-effective

ExoLabs wrote: Hydropower operators need accurate water inflow predictions to generate energy most profitably. In snowmelt dominated catchments (1/4 of the world’s hydropower), uncertain snowmelt quantities deteriorate inflow predictions resulting in overall losses of 7-10%, annually. Our solution to this problem includes data from multiple satellite constellations, ground station networks and numerical weather forecasts to derive real-time snow quantities in a 20 m spatial resolution for entire mountain ranges. Using scalable cloud processing and innovative machine learning algorithms, we are capable to serve hydropower stations globally... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

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.
