Reduced energy shredding for solid recovered fuel production

Magnomatics will deliver the highest efficiency shredder for secondary (SRF)- Solid Recovered Fuel production by utilising magnetically geared direct-drive motor technology and a bespoke shredder system designed holistically around the motor. By removing the need for inefficient gearboxes and pulley systems commonly used in this sector the system will demonstrate the energy savings available from this novel motor technology compared with currently used IE3 motors equipped with gearboxes and pulleys.

Water treatment resource recovery in fertiliser production

CCm Technologies have developed a technology to process ammonia and organic waste streams found in the wastewater industry, utilising surplus heat and the flue gases from existing combined heat and power (CHP) engines. If successful, the project will save the electricity that is currently used to drive the conventional waste treatment processes and will produce a feedstock for high grade fertiliser, a potentially significant revenue stream. This will also displace further energy used in conventional fertiliser production plants.

Ultrasonic flow enhancement cold-and hot-runner injection moulding

Soniplas is a new innovation with the potential to transform plastic injection moulding energy efficiency. It utilises ultrasonic energy, applied to the molten polymer as it is injected into the mould, providing a temporary reduction in viscosity as the polymer melt fills the tool, enabling a temperature reduction for the molten polymer of up to 50C - reducing the energy requirement for both heating and cooling after moulding. Matrix Moulding Systems’ Sonimelt technology covers a wide range of applications in the injection moulding sector. It can be retrofitted to existing moulding machines.

Electric pedal vehicles for last-mile delivery

Transport of passengers or small packages over short distances in urban areas is heavily reliant on conventional vehicles utilising internal combustion engine (ICE) technology. Peddlesmart’s innovation involves zero-emissions [at point of use], pedal electric vehicles capable of carrying people or small freight loads. Current models in development can carry loads of up to 200kg with 350kg and 500kg models in development. Significant carbon emissions can be avoided in comparison to conventional ICE technology.

Energy generation using ambient heat

Ambient Engine wrote: Ambient engine deliver power by sucking heat from atmosphere and convert to useful energy for energy generation, automobiles and powering the drones for unlimited period of time without refueling. The proposed idea utilizes the ambient heat to energy and can produce energy while on the go eliminating the need for heavy battery storage system. Inspired by the natural process of rain where water absorbing heat from ambient atmosphere for phase change is the technology behind the idea. Utilizing the atmospheric temperature to change fluid to gas in an orc turbine. And generate energy from it and cool the working fluid using an external air conditioning system...

Pinelinite

Tsarina Natural Wood Protection wrote: I have developed a 100% natural, non toxic and environmentally safe direct replacement for creosote, creocote and other timber protection treatments. All the ingredients come from plants, tree's and minerals from natural sustainable resources. Preparing the treatment uses zero energy, although a low power blender would be a benefit to large volume mixer. The treatment also has other uses apart from timber protection. It can also be used to protect metal from oxidation and can be used to protect other materials. It can also used to create waterproof breathable membranes from waste paper and other materials. At end of life cycle, the pinelinite can be easily recovered for reuse. It is a true 100% full cycle recyclable product... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Online platform for international collaboration

ASPEn wrote: Aspen​ is pioneering a new platform for international cooperation in the field of sustainability. By pairing similar groups in very different continents we are creating an environment that facilitates knowledge and experience sharing on a large scale. . . The online element is currently under development with support from our scottish partners. This will be populated with ngos, start-ups, academic institutions and public bodies from across the asia pacific and the uk. This will would allow previously undiscovered asian groups, specifically startups, to make themselves known to each other and their counterparts in scotland; allowing international partnerships to form. ...
