PowerWithinU

PowerWithinU wrote: Our charger was created thanks to rising popularity of mobile devices. Unfortunately they often run out of power pretty quickly and require frequent charging. This results in high need for electric power and increases amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Thanks to our device this problem can be fixed with the power of our own muscles on a way to work or school. During longer journeys it can also power one of many 6v devices like micro-fridge without increasing our carbon footprint. It is targeted towards cyclists, fans of new technologies and bike rental centers. In greater perspective our device will reduce demand for electric power, what will result in decrease of amount of greenhouse gases and dusts in atmosphere...

Providing Sanitation and Energy Solution

WASE wrote: Wase provides decentralised sanitation for underserved communities using a circular economy approach to the treatment process. So we can produce value-added products to offset the cost of sanitation and provide a clean and safe wastewater treatment solution. Our system will enable us to create a hydrogen based biogas to be used for cooking or generate electricity. The production of a clean cooking fuel can help reduce deforestation and indoor air pollution in communities where biomass is the primary source of energy for cooking. We can also recover water for irrigation and nutrients within the waste that can be converted into a fertiliser increasing crop yields and the reliance on imported fertilisers...
