Pinelinite

Tsarina Natural Wood Protection wrote: I have developed a 100% natural, non toxic and environmentally safe direct replacement for creosote, creocote and other timber protection treatments. All the ingredients come from plants, tree's and minerals from natural sustainable resources. Preparing the treatment uses zero energy, although a low power blender would be a benefit to large volume mixer. The treatment also has other uses apart from timber protection. It can also be used to protect metal from oxidation and can be used to protect other materials. It can also used to create waterproof breathable membranes from waste paper and other materials. At end of life cycle, the pinelinite can be easily recovered for reuse. It is a true 100% full cycle recyclable product... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

City gets irregular streams of visitors during the festivals and other events where additional services are needed from the municipality such as overnight stay options, waste management, public toilets, etc. The final solution is going to provide data mining and modelling services to the municipalities. Publicly available data is going to be analysed; in addition, the calculation of the visitors at the current moment is going to be performed... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Plant-based alternatives to meat

Beyond Meat creates plant-based burgers, sausages, crumbles, and other products made directly from simple plant-based ingredients. By shifting from animal to plant-based meat the company aims to solve four growing issues attributed to livestock production: human health, climate change, constraints on natural resources and animal welfare. A life-cycle assessment of the Beyond Burger suggested that compared to an equivalent beef burger, it generates 90% less greenhouse gas emissions, requires 46% less energy, use 99% less water and has 93% less impact on land use.

The sensor bundle communicates with an app that displays the information in an appealing interface and informs the user on the required steps to bring the plant to a better state, or maintain its state. The hardware is based on a microcontroller with the relevant sensors, and the user interface is a web based application. A pump is also integrated to allow for automatic irregation of the plants by avoiding over- and under-irregation and maintaining a desirable level of soil moisture...

Platform for decentralized energy exchange

GreenSync has developed a platform for decentralized energy exchange (deX) to dramatically increase networks’ hosting capacity for renewable energy. GreenSync provides a software solution for high penetration of intermittent renewable electricity sources. The deX solution increases control and visibility that is easily lost when adding decentralized electricity sources to the grid. With deX, the use of the intermittent electricity could be optimized, and investment costs can be reduced. By using deX, more renewable energy from decentralized sources can hence be used, which would reduce the emissions from peak load demand.

Poko wrote: Every second roughly 160,000 plastic bags are being consumed around the globe. The primary energy required to produce these bags could be used to circle the earth with a car. Not a single plastic bag ever produced has completely degraded thus far. The plastic continues to pollute the environment for hundreds of years with over a million marine and land animals dying every year as a consequence. Poko aims to destroy this plastic addiction by offering a convenient and eco-friendly shopping bag with similar properties to that of a plastic bag. A poko bag is made from polyester that is reusable for hundreds of times and can be recycled. It is light, durable and also fits into a stylish key-holder that can be made out of various materials...
