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 Karainagar - An Eco Island

Organic Karainagar wrote: Traditional rice and millet farming systems are complex and tailored to local situations, enabling family farmers to efficiently confront adverse conditions such as climate change and meet their basic needs. However, there is a serious risk of losing this indigenous knowledge and traditional agroecological practices that are at the basis of these systems. Karai young farmers' club assimilate indigenous knowledge and uses participatory training techniques in order to integrate this important information into present-day enhanced local rice farming practices...

3 Acre Model Organic farm

3 Acre Model Organic farm wrote: I am planning to build a 3 acre organic model farm with agro silvo pastoral system for my self sufficient. Agro-silvopastoral systems is a collective term for land-use systems, which combine a woody component (trees or shrubs) with cattle and cultivation on the same site. These systems represent a model of production and conservation based on silvi-culture, the practice of growing trees, complementary to pre-existing agricultural activities. Through this project i and my farm will be the model for organic farming. After completing my project i can suggest organic farming and awareness programs among my rural community. Finally i will be the roll model for who would like to do an organic farm. My city is jaffna sri lanka... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

SR BIN

SR BIN wrote: From plastic, polythene to metal and even paper the fmcg sector produces far more packaging than is currently being recycled. Due to complex layering, recyclers are limited in their capacity to recycle while consumers fail to support recycling due to lack of infrastructure. Encore offers both the technology, tools and software to connect all these players and bring them on to a common stage by giving packaging waste a new face technology that converts it back to pack, bottle or can. We offer the technology as well as tools such as intelligent waste collection bins and software for brands and recyclers to re-calibrate their current manufacturing process to convert waste back into standardized raw materials...

Build aqua drones that maintain waterways

Kayal Technologies wrote: Urban waterways in developing countries tend to be heavily polluted and urban poor live close to that. Keeping urban waterways clean is essential for healthy cities and also preventing ocean plastic pollution. However, the current global methods for waterway maintenance are labour intensive, inefficient and don't scale. We’re automating waterway maintenance with ai and drone technology. We are building all-electric aquadrones that collect floating debris and remove weed using computer vision. They also function as mobile data acquisition platforms, tracking waste aggregation trends while recording water and air quality data. We cut down the operational costs of waterway cleaning by up to 90 percent... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Hyperloop development

Hyperloop is a new means of ground transportation that can carry passengers and cargo at speeds up to 1000 km/h inside low-pressure tubes. Zeleros' hyperloop system minimizes infrastructure complexity to achieve a scalable solution that will enable long-distance travel. By integrating Zeleros’ main levitation and propulsion technologies in the vehicle, the electrification needs of infrastructure are reduced, resulting in lower costs and easier maintenance. The fully-autonomous vehicle enables the use of a tubular infrastructure which has reduced construction and maintenance costs in comparison with other high-speed ground transport systems.
