Design of small-scale concentrated solar power plants

In a project called 'Solarbosch', Enerbosh is developing small-scale concentrated solar power tower (CSP-T) plants, with ranges from 0.5 to 3 MWe for power generation or 1 to 10 MWh for heat processes on a 24/7 basis. Current CSP-T plants use molten salts as heat transfer fluid (HTF) and storage medium, reaching temperatures up to 560 °C. This is only profitable at very large scales due to the high investment required. In this project the CSP-T plant uses air as HTF, which can easily exceed 1000 °C. The heat storage medium is copper slag, a Chilean mining industry by-product (low cost), with ideal heat storage properties up to 1,000 °C.

Digital battery twins

CipLab wrote: Ciplab uses the new capabilities of iot by developing hardware and software to determine and predict the state of health of electric vehicle batteries. Based on empirical and data based algorithms, the state of health of a lithium-ion battery system is analyzed in the form of a cloud-based virtual twin to provide lifetime forecasts and, for example, enable reusing of lithium-ion batteries. Ciplab helps companies better understand the state of health of their batteries at any time and can use their data for an optimized sustainable battery usage...

Digital platform with an incentive system

EcoIncome wrote: Today’s average consumption based ghg emissions per person in the western world are way too high. But there are no really good icentives to reduce them. Our digital platform with an eco fee and share mechanism enables a competition for the lowest eco footprints: 1) the eco footprints of the users are measured mainly automatically on the basis of financial spending information, 2) the users monthly virtually pay for their eco footprints, 3) 100% of entire revenue are redistributed equally within the community ("ecoincome"). 4) finally, the users' surplus and deficit amounts are subject to real financial transaction. Positive effect: constant motivation for everyone to reduce their eco footprints... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Digital rewards platform

Stonnivation wrote: Tourism’s global carbon footprint has increased from 3. 9 to 4. 5 gtco2e, four times more than previously estimated, accounting for about 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions. . This significant rise is due to the quantification of the significant contribution from local transport, shopping and food during their visit. This issue is compounded by day trippers and locals doing similar activities. . Our initial focus is on promoting outdoor tourism in remote and rural locations and rewarding tourism businesses and locals and visitors to make healthier and more environmentally friendly choices. We will re-invest in remote and rural communities to develop infrastructure and resources that support healthy sustainable rural development... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad
