Satellite imagery based big data

Agrovisio wrote: Agriculture lacks accurate and up to date data from the field, which affects sustainability of production, in the wake of climate change. Family farmers in low, middle and upper-middle income countries cannot easily afford expensive precision agriculture solutions which usually require high investment upfront. . Using a unique combination of general soil characteristics, climate models and satellite imagery, we designed agrovisio as a saas solution providing big data analytics from farm scale to national scale. With agrovisio, farmers will make decisions based on their hyperlocal crop data, will have a better planting strategy and will manage their yield and their risks far more effectively...

Quant Co

Quant Co wrote: Power industry needs a smart grid which can integrate renewable energy efficiently at scale without having to keep polluting power stations online to manage intermittency. This requires energy storage to act as a buffer, reducing demand when supply is low or increasing when it is high. But with the ability to store energy, managing the timing of energy use to minimize costs is extremely complex. We create a game-changing solution — a tool with superior intelligence for managing energy storage, for a problem too complex for humans alone to solve. We optimize the timing of energy use like never before... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

ENLIL-Vertical Axis Wind Turbine

ENLIL-Vertical Axis Wind Turbine wrote: By placing the hybrid vertical axis wind turbine (inclueding a solar panel on top of it) on highways, ‘’metrobus-lines’’ and other transportation lines as well as high-rise residences , enlil will generate energy by using the winds created by the vehicles aswell as the natural winds. It will also measure the city’s temperature, humidity, wind and co2 by using the the build-in sensors and the iot platform. The measurements made by enlil will be used on the carbon footprint map to provide the comfort of the city and it will also contribute to the safety of the city by providing information to.

B-Preg

B-Preg wrote: B-preg technology offers recyclable, high performance and lightweight natural fiber reinforced biocomposites for the transportation industry to help in fuel-efficiency and lowering co2 emissions. To be more precise; a parcel shelf of a passanger car produced with b-preg biocomposite saves %60 of production cycle time and %43 of weight compared with a parcel shelf produced with current materials. Being responsible for global warming by generating ¼ of total co2 emissions in the world, transportation industry is faced with strict regulations (to reduce emissions otherwise pay penalties). Thus, vehicle lightweighting solutions b-preg offers is a key for future... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Nanomik Biotechnology

Nanomik Biotechnology wrote: According to reports presented by fao, each year in the world, approximately 1. 3 billion tons fresh fruit and vegetables are produced; however, approximately 25% of production is lost because of crop-destroyer fungi spoilage in the post-harvest process. To solve this fungi problem, harmful chemical fungicides are used to prevent fungi spoilage in both pre- and post-harvest periods. But these chemicals are very harmful to human health and nature. To solve this problem we launched our first product mikoks. Mikoks contains natural plant based fungi killer microcapsules. They can be used in different stage for different fruits. In citrus they can be used in postharvest, although for grapes mikoks used in pre-harvest stage... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Femme International wrote: Menstruation is expensive, entailing regular monthly purchase of disposable products for an average of 33 years. The most popular product is single use disposable pads that contain 90% plastic, 60% of which ends up in landfills or is burnt, harming the environment. Women in rural east africa spend about $2. 50/month on disposable menstrual products, the cost of 3kg maize flour, 4l milk or 5 loaves of bread, leaving them in a food vs menstruation dilemma that we find highly unreasonable. Our deal is providing access to reusable menstrual products to the last mile through twende ambassadors, who also deliver menstrual health training... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Our proposition is to create car-free zones every wednesday (when kids under 16 leave school at noon) in selected areas. Markets would take place on closed streets, the cars having been moved to ideally centralized parking locations. The public transport system would be free or provide promotions, especially for those directly affected by the ‘event’. To compensate, businesses will be encouraged to let those who can, work from home on wednesday and experience a carless day. The objective is to incite social change in habits and values by creating the opportunity for individuals and families to experience new routines... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Infinity wrote: We propose automated bins based on nir spectroscopy that sort textiles by fibre for recycling (skipping the waste/incineration emissions): natural fiber can be used for producing new clothes (skipping the growing and harvesting emissions). Synthetics can be routed to pet to products like bottles (skipping the petroleum emissions). The infinity bin is fully automated. Clothing pieces are inserted one by one on the belt which starts up (similar to automated book drops in some libraries). The fibre sensor (fibersort) works by measuring how much light from an infrared light source is absorbed by each textile. The reflected light creates a characteristic spectrum of each fibre type or blend combination... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon
