GOYTI. Sustainable mobility solutions

GOYTI. Sustainable mobility solutions wrote: Almost 3/4 of the population lives in urban areas where transport generates almost 50% of the pollutants that harm people's health. Actual vehicles to move around cities are inefficient and are underused so we address this problem by creating efficient, clean and safe mobility solutions for urban areas adapted to the real needs of the people. Materials used nowadays on vehicles construction come from finite resources as steel, aluminium and petrol; therefore these generate a huge carbon footprint and a unacceptable bad impact to the environment and to the people’s health and life quality...

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 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

Desert Restoration

Desert Restoration wrote: Using allan savory’s holistic management (hm) and holistic planned grazing (hpg) systems we intend to turn desert land into lush grasslands in a sustainable system that employs large livestock to restore the land, sequester massive amounts of co2, and break down methane. Produce from such ranches are one of the only types of animal produce that do not add to the climate change catastrophe, as a matter of fact, they present one of the most promising solutions to it. It’s not the cow, it’s the how. Climate friendly produce is labelled and marketed accordingly. This system mimics nature and relies on only natural means... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

RainDrain System

RainDrain System wrote: The raindrain system is a pipeline-based stormwater drainage system. It uses a unique piping scheme that’s highly adaptable and incorporates shallow depths of installations, small pipe diameters and optimum case-by-case design. The relatively affordable cost of the system and its versatility means that this system could be implemented in areas where conventional systems cannot be implemented. For example areas that lack the necessary space of installation and informal/unplanned areas. The system also adopts a communal participatory approach, meaning that the community is one of the key participants in the design, implementation, and operation and maintenance phases...

Sustainable passive cooling house

Sustainable Passive Cooling wrote: Our solution tackles extreme weather events; extreme temperatures to be exact, either it be low extremes or high. The solution constitutes two phases: spreading awareness regarding environmental and economic damages related to using conventional cooling/heating systems, then introducing new approaches of eco-friendly cooling/heating techniques. The first phase consists of launching awareness campaigns through social media and field visits. Extreme temperature leads to over consumption of energy, causing an increase in levels of co2, further exasperating the surge in temperature; in the second phase we aim to cool houses passively without the continuous use of conventional air conditioning systems...

BioGas Farming Systems

BioGas Farming wrote: Biogas farming system works on reducing waste produced by animals through the conversion of the waste into energy that can be used as a source of electricity, it also contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and pollution. We will work on providing generators that convert the waste into energy, inaddition to training the farmers on using these generators... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon
