HIKARI positive energy building

Toshiba and Bouygues have together developed a solution for positive energy buildings they called “HIKARI”, which generates more energy than it consumes. A first-of-a-kind positive energy building, located in Lyon, France, HIKARI is designed to be an exceptional example of a smart building that leads to rethinking the design of more traditional buildings, to ensure a smart, sustainable city. Created through a partnership with the Japanese government agency New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) and Grand Lyon, HIKARI is a part of Metropolitan Lyon’s mid-term objective to design new uses for housing and shared areas to encourage a "zero carbon" territory.

Hike&Bike

Hike&Bike wrote: Hike&bike provides a solution to the current nature mobility problem where the trails are scattered between many different platforms and provide only part of the information needed for a great hike or a bike ride. The solution would unite the currently available routes in a single user and mobile-friendly plugin/app, which allows the user to select their preferred difficulty level, mobility solution, read and leave reviews. The idea also relates to the current challenges faced by the cēsis city where the city center is poorly connected with its periphery and thereby it is a challenge to reach some of it's best-known nature tourism spots...

HomeShield

HomeShield wrote: Natural disasters and climate change have a catastrophic impact on infrastructure, economy, society and human lives. Without defining a building’s resilience factor and conducting a risk assessment, property owners are unaware of the natural disasters’ risk and unprepared to face it. Homeshield e-platform helps in rating the property's vulnerability (or resistance) towards natural disasters. Feeding with data the e-platform will a)result in a property’s risk percentage as well as b)provide a way to reduce risk and damage in the event of natural disaster, speed up recovery and potentially obtain insurance cover more easily and affordably...

Hover Rail

Hover Rail wrote: In contrary to conventional shunting where rail vehicles are moved by locomotives, we introduce an idea that allows the complete elimination of locomotives at shunting stations. This is how it works: dynamic shuttle transport of all rail vehicles as well as rail segments on platforms. Movement through magnetic levitation technology powered by green electricity. Fully automated operation controlled by ai to reduce distances and time consumption. Storage on a second level to reduce space and secure the rolling stock from weather impacts. This concept allows shunting operations to be: free of emissions. Free of wear. Durable. Secure for workers... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Hydrogen fuel from biomass

GreenFuel wrote: We are working to accelerate the market deployment of hydrogen gas. Our effort is to provide an alternative energy solution which is reliable, efficient, renewable, sustainable and easy to produce. We aim to produce hydrogen gas from biomass in estonia and make it an exportable commodity along with helping develop hydrogen ecosystem within estonia. Greenfuel wants to supply a world changing business opportunity for fueling stations to increase their business prospect as hydrogen cars are going to grow substantially in near future..

HydroPlat

HydroPlat wrote: Hydrogen cars are relatively expensive to manufacture because they require the use of a rare substance as a catalyst. The platinum electrocatalyst that is used is not only expensive but can also be impure. Hydroplat is a unique technology that will replace this platinum electrocatalyst in hydrogen cars with the help of biomass. The biomass is sulfur and nitrogen dual-doped nanomaterials that were made from genetically modified cyanobacteria. Hydrogen cars are much better than electric cars because they will reduce carbon emissions by 40% globally and they can go more miles for one fill-up. Than electric cars. Our technology is cost-effective and efficient... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Hyperloop development

Hyperloop is a new means of ground transportation that can carry passengers and cargo at speeds up to 1000 km/h inside low-pressure tubes. Zeleros' hyperloop system minimizes infrastructure complexity to achieve a scalable solution that will enable long-distance travel. By integrating Zeleros’ main levitation and propulsion technologies in the vehicle, the electrification needs of infrastructure are reduced, resulting in lower costs and easier maintenance. The fully-autonomous vehicle enables the use of a tubular infrastructure which has reduced construction and maintenance costs in comparison with other high-speed ground transport systems.
