The norwegian construction industry alone produces nearly 2 million metric tons of building waste every year. Greenstock’s cloud-based platform streamlines logistics for the reuse of building materials. Organisations can use the platform internally to map available materials in existing buildings and leftovers from building projects in a database for reuse in future construction projects. This will reduce carbon emissions as well as overall building costs... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

That’s how it works: • choose your itinerary (where, when, how many people);. • select a means of transport;. • select if you need an accommodation facility;. • our platform rates your travel sustainability: travel rating is based on co2 emissions, eco-footprint, impact waste, water use, seasonality. The result is represented as a dashboard made by 8 class from g to a+. G class is an unfair travel with big co2 emissions and unsustainable eco-footprint. A+ is the best rating, that means the choice of low emissions trips using to, e. G. , trains or electric cars and a sustainable accommodation;... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Given the social norm and failure to control the consumption of individuals we are focusing on a solution that would cater to the wastewater that is being generated by an average household. The concept is to tap out the wastewater component which is less toxic and can be reused. This includes wastewater originating from toilets (excluding human waste), bathtubs, kitchens sinks, laundry areas, generally called as greywater. Greywater if treated can be reused for several purposes i. E. Toilet flushes, landscaping, laundry, organic farming to name a few... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Grid-scale thermal storage using solid-state material

EnergyNest developed a thermal battery for thermal power plants and energy-intensive industries. The company recently installed and commissioned a pilot system with a combined capacity of 1 MWth. The company says that the system was operated over more than 6,000 hours with an energy cycling profile resembling operation in a power plant. In 2018, a first free-standing commercial module was manufactured and displayed at the company’s assembly site in Rotterdam. Since the technology’s two main materials – concrete and steel – are available and recyclable, it can be deployed in any geographical location, and up to 80% of the storage materials can be sourced locally.

GROW wrote: Grow is a first-of-a-kind proposed urban rooftop garden and ecological and social lab in the heart of nicosia’s old town. The project will consist of a prototype urban container garden, with possible aquaponic elements. We intend to grow both organic food for local consumption, herbs and other plants essential for biodiversity and improving air quality. We will attempt to create smart garden and the entire project will be hooked up into a real-time data-tracking system. The prototype will also contain different solar arrays, water harvesting systems and composting facilities. We also hope to attract bees to create urban beehives through our choice of flowers and pollen... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon
