ReDrive wrote: Our main business idea is to create a distribution network of biofuels, especially biodiesel (fame and faee). Also production of biodiesel may includes utilization of recycled components e. G. Used cooking oils. Our motivation is to spread waste-to-energy, profitable fuel among diesel engine users and to affect the environment by reducing co2 emissions in comparison to organic diesel fuel...

Reduced energy shredding for solid recovered fuel production

Magnomatics will deliver the highest efficiency shredder for secondary (SRF)- Solid Recovered Fuel production by utilising magnetically geared direct-drive motor technology and a bespoke shredder system designed holistically around the motor. By removing the need for inefficient gearboxes and pulley systems commonly used in this sector the system will demonstrate the energy savings available from this novel motor technology compared with currently used IE3 motors equipped with gearboxes and pulleys.

Reducing plastic waste

CIRCUP wrote: Every minute 1 million disposable coffee cups are thrown away. This makes more than 500 billion cups in a year. The eu will ban single-use coffee cups by 2030. More and more companies, coffee-shops and gas stations are looking for ways to reduce the number of disposable cups and support consumers using their own reusable mugs instead. Based on our customer surveys we know that the majority of end-users already want to use their own travel mugs but there are no easy and efficient ways in the coffee shops or gas stations to wash the mugs quickly. We have a solution! circup produces quick-wash machines for reusable coffee cups based on dry ice technology... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Reducing the data carbon footprint

Swiss Vault Systems wrote: Data is driving the new global economy, and the world’s datasphere is predicted to grow 10x by 2025. Currently, data centers use 3% of the global energy production, and this will expand to 10% in the next decade. Our patentable innovative data storage technology is 100x more efficient in electrical power consumption, 200x more efficient in space utilization - thus, decreasing overall carbon emissions and making data management “greener” for our innovation economy...

Reduction of losses in distribution grids

Dlaboratory’s solution register and visualizes incidents in the electrical grid, allowing identification and reaction to faults in the grid. This is done through monitoring of the distribution grid, where, according to Dlaboratory, most of the interference takes place. The collection of real-time data is then combined with an algorithm which analyses and categorizes events and generates a recommend course of action for the user. This solution can both help in reducing the number of incidents which lead to significant energy losses while also reducing the cost for operation and maintenance.

Reef - Reactions For Efficiency

Reef - Reactions For Efficiency wrote: Nowadays, the world still get 83% of our energy from fossil fuels. This is not sustainable! . In this sense, the european union approved in 2018 the red ii: a 7% quota for 2nd generation biofuels in transport. Now, there is a huge demand (by law) and all fuel distributors concerned about the commercial supply of this second generation biofuels. . We, from reef, have developed a smart way to convert residues from forest, agriculture or urbans activities into bioethanol. Despite applications in food or cosmetic industries, the initial focus will be as additive to be blended with gasoline as there is a huge potential of ghg savings! and also: up to 25% there is no need of any engine changes. ...

ReFunghi wrote: Refunghi is a city lab and community project in the field of sustainable product design and urban food production. It wants to bring together people with different cultural and disciplinary backgrounds. To fight the global climate crisis, we need to change urban life substantially. With refunghi we want to focus on mushrooms which can not only be used as a sustainable source of proteins but also for ecofriendly materials like alternatives for plastics or vegan leather. Mushrooms can be grown under urban conditions and on supposed waste like coffee grounds, which is another benefit for a more efficient use of our limited resources...
