Nominated innovations

1000 innovative clean energy solutions and > 150 framework enablers with the potential to deliver more than twelve gigatonnes of avoided emissions by 2030

These assessments are based on a basic avoided emission assessment. The overall concept of avoided emissions is that a solution (product or service) enables the same function to be performed with significantly less GHG emissions. The method of measuring avoided emissions, is to compare a baseline scenario without the enabling solution, with a scenario using the enabling solution; whereby the baseline represents the ‘business as usual’ (BAU) scenario.

These assessments are based on the framework document: The Avoided Emissions Framework (AEF) from September 2020

Efficient solar modules for electric vehicles

Efficient solar modules for electric vehicles

Sharp Corporation have developed a solar module with one of the world’s highest conversion efficiencies, which enables on-vehicle charging for electric vehicles (EVs) to increase their range without frequent plug-in battery charging. A triple-junction compound was used to capture a wider range of the spectrum of sunlight, leading to a conversion efficiency for a solar module of 31.17% for 968 cm². With such a high rate of efficiency, the modules can be integrated into EV design and have an impact on energy generation.

HIKARI positive energy building

HIKARI positive energy building

Toshiba and Bouygues have together developed a solution for positive energy buildings they called “HIKARI”, which generates more energy than it consumes. A first-of-a-kind positive energy building, located in Lyon, France, HIKARI is designed to be an exceptional example of a smart building that leads to rethinking the design of more traditional buildings, to ensure a smart, sustainable city. Created through a partnership with the Japanese government agency New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) and Grand Lyon, HIKARI is a part of Metropolitan Lyon’s mid-term objective to design new uses for housing and shared areas to encourage a "zero carbon" territory.

HydroPlat wrote: Hydrogen cars are relatively expensive to manufacture because they require the use of a rare substance as a catalyst. The platinum electrocatalyst that is used is not only expensive but can also be impure. Hydroplat is a unique technology that will replace this platinum electrocatalyst in hydrogen cars with the help of biomass. The biomass is sulfur and nitrogen dual-doped nanomaterials that were made from genetically modified cyanobacteria. Hydrogen cars are much better than electric cars because they will reduce carbon emissions by 40% globally and they can go more miles for one fill-up. Than electric cars.

Bio - Alkanol Gel Fuel

Bio - Alkanol Gel Fuel

Bio - Alkanol Gel Fuel wrote: It is estimated that in kenya, biomass fuels account for more than 90% of primary energy supply regardless of the adverse effects it has on the environment. Bio-alkanol gel is a thick liquid fuel which is a mixture of alkanol, cellulose and water. It’s an alternative biofuel which has been innovated so as to reduce kenya’s reliance on imported petroleum based products. Exploitation of sugars in mango,banana,watermelon,orange and papaya fruit peelings through microbial fermentation and egg shells as a source of bio-fuel is a novel undertaking. The conversion of fruit peeling cellulose biomass into cellulosic-alkanol and egg shells into calcium acetate (gelling agent) is an innovative way of turning waste into wealth. ...

Clean Planet wrote: We process different types of waste into highly flammable gas. We use the gas to generate steam for different applications. Including electricity, drying, hospital sterilizing heating and cleaning. Different waste feed stock leaves different residue. Plastic leaves nothing, rubber leaves black carbon safe material for road construction, aggro-waste like sugarcane and maize stalk leave. Char which is used to make briquettes, this is a clean fuel for cooking and barbecue application. No residue ever goes to the landfill if our innovation is implemented. No waste is transported to a landfill very far from where it was generated. We do not store waste at all. Waste will be processed to energy in our portable unit...

Biofuels play significant roles in decarburization of our future energy needs and act to mitigate deleterious impacts of greenhouse gas emissions. The bio-alkanol gel fuel has orange peals as a raw material. Orange fruits accumulate the monoterpene limonene in their oil glands (badawy et al. 2017).
