Disaggregation and predictor services

Twingz detects potential fire and/or water damage before it occurs. It does this by providing a fully transparent picture of your energy consumption through monitoring individual appliances all based on the end-user’s electricity and water meters. Using data disaggregation and machine learning, the innovation can prediction and detect discrepancies in usage patterns and therefore give warnings about possible malfunction and potential damage. At the same time, usage data is continuously available to end-users.

Dispo

Dispo wrote: Coming from the above mentioned situation, dispo is the idea of a technology that could reduce the volume of the already generated waste down to only 10% of the original volume. As result, it will reduce the number of visits of the waste transport vehicles and aconsequently reduce the service fees and the co2emissions associated with the process. Such technology already exist in the markets at bigger sizes for the waste to energy power plants, as it improves the calorific properties of waste based fuels. But till now does not exist for kitchen or building sizes . Dispo will be designed in different sizes 1- kitchen size that could treat 5 kg/day of house/office use...

Disrupting social housing challenge

Abundance.HOME wrote: Within the next 30 years a humongous need for new buildings will occur. An estimated population growth up to ~9 billion humans besides an additional worldwide movement of 20% into urban areas. The result will be an increased scarcity which will lead to estimated 1/3 of urban dwellers (1. 6 billion !) who will struggle to secure decent housing by 2025. Only in germany there is an annual need of 80. 000 of social housing units. . Sadly by today, the construction industry is already by far the largest consumer of raw materials on the planet. 35% of global waste is accounted by construction and demolition activities. New approaches are urgently needed. ... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Dockit - "Love Food...Hate Waste"

Dockit wrote: Dockit aims to develop innovative software solutions to everyday restaurant problems, in particular, food waste. . - roughly 50% of food waste can be attributed to labour i. E. Human error. - 1 tonne of food waste equates to 2 tonnes of co2 equivalents. - food waste accounts for between 3-5% of total running costs in restaurants. . Dockit aims to significantly reduce the climate impact of food waste by tackling the issue of incorrect ordering in restaurants because "small changes can make a big difference"...

Double capacity of first generation EVs

DoubleEV wrote: In year 2010 nissan started to sell first truly ev for masses - nissan leaf, and as of today - around 300k cars were sold. First version of these car bears 24kwh battery, with real world range around 140-150 km per charge. As battery pack capacity decreases over time - there will be moment for ev owners to consider either buying new car or new battery pack. We plan to offer battery pack upgrade using modules built from densier cells (type 18650) to double capacity of battery pack up to 48kwh... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Doubling biopower plant electrical efficiency

Today's established technology for bio power is the steam cycle, in which 30 percent of the energy input results in electricity, with the remainder being heat and energy losses. Bio power plants are therefore primarily heating plants and, secondly, producers of electricity. Phoenix Biopower's technology has developed a different thermodynamic process. The first step is that the fuel is gasified under high pressure together with steam. The gas formed then drives a gas turbine where steam is used to optimize combustion. With this technology, efficiency is doubled, and electricity can be produced with up to 60 percent of the energy input.
