Tree Mattress

Tree Mattress wrote: We are ‘tree mattress’ company, producing world’s first cellulose foam mattress. We have the technology to produce the mattress from cellulose which is totally recyclable as paper and totally free from toxic chemicals. Billions of mattress are produced every year and millions of them are dumped as waste every year. Most of the mattresses available in the market nowadays also have health issues due to the presence of harmful chemicals. Our mission is to bring the solution to this very problems without compromising the sound sleep... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Treeconomy

Treeconomy wrote: We use high quality remote sensing (drone-based lidar or satellite imagery) to exactly quantify tree growth and therefore carbon captured. Land owners pay us for this service, and in return we quantify carbon sequestered on their land, package it financially, and sell it directly to companies who need to offset emissions (such as the aviation sector). We bring science and rigour to the carbon offset market, as well as smart database technology to avoid double counting. Our offset-as-a-service is entirely innovative in this space...

TreeHouse platforms for summer events

TreeHouse place wrote: The core problem is modern people’s need to reconnect with nature. Our main target are businesses, municipalities, music and adventure festival organisers who want to offer their participants unique and innovative resting places that are location specific. Current tree house lutions are permanent and harms trees, thus not always alloved. Long term goal is to provide similar solution to families. We build nature friendly wood platforms from reusable materials. Realize your childhood dreams or your eco-friendly workshops. We have collaboration projects with local governments, gaining experience, developing a team and promoting eco-tourism in the region... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

TreeSPot

TreeSPot wrote: Treespot makes it possible for cities to put trees in places where it is impossible to plant them. By creating additional green infrastructure, cities can create more people friendly urban spaces and foster climate resilience. Treespot is a smart, mobile, modular and scalable tree growing system which doesn’t require underground or pavement interventions. Mobile, modular and scalable: a treespot module- a single unit consisting of a planter, substrate, and a tree can be constructed by a single person and moved around a flat area by a one-person pallet jack/forklift. The modules link together to create a functioning and self-sustaining ecosystem- a park on top of concrete, without requiring any underground or pavement interventions...

Trilobit wrote: We provide local small and medium sized waste management companies with an automated system for separation of non-ferrous (non magnetic) metals. . Instead of transporting "useful trash" to a large separation facility in other countries, companies will be able to separate locally and sell the end product - which is raw material (copper, aluminium, zync, lead) with higher purity resulting in better price. . Our product fits into the circular economy philosophy, where industrial and everyday products are recycled back to their basic raw material and then used again and again...

Tripling the energy output of solar panels

Sunovate wrote: Sunovate is a combined solar thermal and pv technology (pvt) that has been designed to provide a renewable solution for the heating and cooling demand that accounts for ~43% of final energy consumption globally. The sunovate pvt system has been designed to service this heat requirement and produce renewable electricity and does this by boosting the output of pv panels by 300%. The sunovate technology maximizes the energy output from solar panels, providing buildings and businesses with heat as well as electricity. It has been intentionally designed to integrate with existing solar panels to redirect the heat from the panels for use in space, water, process and pool heating...

Tubular PEM fuel cell with a small footprint

Traditional Proto-exchange membrane designs have several issues related to them. With this in mind, Elicius Energy has developed a lightweight and air-breathing tubular Proto-exchange membrane (PEM). The tubular design eliminates the need for the traditionally used bipolar plates that comes with significant water and heat management issues. By replacing these, many issues are removed as well as allowing air to be transported between individual cells, which prevents overheating and letting the fuel cell operate at ambient temperatures. In addition to the beforementioned, the new design can lead to reduced system costs.

Turn Buildings into Large Air Purification Systems

PurCity wrote: Purcity has developed for the first time in the world a pct patented, sustainable and highly efficient self-cleaning air purification system that turns new or existing buildings into large scale air purifiers. It is called gaps, and consists of industrial panels that are a great substitute for exterior aluminium facades. Gaps shape has been designed like a double facade, which produces a chimney effect to naturally suck the polluted air into the gaps chemically activated exterior wall-panels, which removes both pm2. 5 particles and toxic gases like sox, nox, vocs and carbon dioxide. The clean air is then delivered to the building through the hvac system, which saves 10-20% (15-30 kwh/m2) of energy consumption while delivering pure air...

Turn waste to clean energy

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...
