Solar steam for industrial processes

Solatom is a solar concentrator designed for generating high temperature heat (steam, hot water or thermal oil) in industrial processes. Solatom's modules are formed by rows of mirrors that track the sun, reflecting the sunlight on a vacuum tube. The fluid circulating through the tube absorbs the reflected energy producing an increase in the temperature of the fluid (up to 300 °C). Each module has a nominal power of 15 kW thermal. When more capacity is needed, the modules are joined together, increasing the total power of the plant. The system is designed for be deployed on the rooftop, with a specific weight under 23 kg/m².

Environmental intelligence for healthy cities 

Green Urban Data produces software that monitors and measures temperature at the neighbourhood level, locating the most vulnerable areas and offering recommendations for action to stabilize the temperature in those areas. Their innovation aims to counteract the effects of temperature on the health and economy of a city, using software as a service (SaaS) to adapt a city to the effects of temperature variations. Possible uses are for the interconnectivity of green urban areas, the design of protocols to act against heat waves, and the planning and design of green infrastructure.

EasyGy

EasyGy wrote: Easygy is a platform called to empower people in the fight against climate change, creating a digital platform that allows them to know their energy consumption in real time in their homes, thus facilitating their decision-making and implementation of efficiency measures to reduce their co2 emissions saving costs along the way. The problem of domestic energy efficiency has an added difficulty: individual to individual, home to home must be tackled. Our vision is to offer a solution to this issue through information technologies and the creation of an ecosystem that, involving governments, companies and people, stops the reduction of emissions related to domestic energy efficiency.
