Regenerate Australia

Regenerate Australia wrote: Carbon sync enables transformational change in agricultural landscape management. This change results in the regeneration of ecosystems, renewal and repopulation of rural communities, remineralisation of food a fibre products and carbon sequestration potential so significant that it could bring australia to net zero emissions in as little as 20 years when adopted at scale. This is all achieved with exisiting, proven technology while at the same time producing food and fibre. This technology is called regenerative agriculture...

Regreening deserted fields in Sub-Sahara

Greendesert wrote: In cooperation with professors from the university of bremen and local partners in cameroon, we have developed an entrepreneurial approach to combat desertification in cameroon. Using the revitec technology developed by researchers at the university of bremen, we fill biodegradable bags with various local substrates and seeds and lay them on the affected fields. The bags provide the seedlings with nutrients and sufficiently store water to guarantee sustainable plant growth, even in very dry weather conditions. . . Our aim is to build up a business in cameroon which offers a regreening service to the local communities. This service consists of targeting the respective fields,..

Regreening the Desert Training Centre

Regenerative Agriculture Sudan wrote: A training and demonstration site that teaches herding communities and individuals how to produce pastures from desert land using only their livestock and rain. This process of regreening the desert was pioneered by allan savory and is known as holistic planned grazing. It fights desertification all the while sequestering massive amounts of co2. The training centre will seek to 1) spread the practice of these sustainable grazing methods, 2) incubate projects implementing these methods, and 3) provide clients with a promising export market for livestock products abroad, where climate-friendly meat and produce are quickly becoming a trend...

Regulation of inner city traffic

The Toll Both Zone Team wrote: A person is driving alone in their car. As this person approaches the city, ai technology registers the car and the amount of people driving in the car. A fee is then charged depending on the zone, whichis entered, and decreases according to the amount of passengers. The bill is then sent on a monthly basis. The zones become increasingly expensive as the car approaches the city center. There is an opportunity to enforce low/zero-emission city zones. Alongside the toll system, initiatives for more sustainable options are launched. These can include improvements within the public transport system (cheaper fares, etc...

Remote monitoring and diagnostic solution for Li-ion battery health

DIAGNOSE is a remote monitoring and diagnostics solution that gives real-time facts and statistics on large Li-ion battery health and performance, allowing companies to prevent potential safety issues and plan maintenance or replacement. Battery life could be extended by adjusting the usage profile based on diagnostics data. The innovation gives an instant overview of a whole battery fleet with historic data viewing, automatic event notifications and alerts as well as customized warranty monitoring. The innovation provides a sort of ”Digital Passport" from cell manufacturing through life of the battery to the second life after having been recycled.

Remote solar energy deployment

O'Sol wrote: O'sol develops deployable solar generators for mobile, temporary or emergency applications. Its alpha generator uses a deployment system inspired from satellites, which allows it to deploy and retract its solar panels without any human interaction. This makes it autonomous, and thus very simple to use. Alpha comes equipped with batteries, and can be interconnected to create a smart microgrid. The alpha generator is especially adapted for festivals and temporary events. A second generator is being developed for humanitarian applications... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Removal of microplastic by nature

Batea Biotech wrote: Batea biotech is on a mission to remove microplastic found in the water used by fish farmers. Microplastic, small particles of plastic, will be taken up by the fish and eventually accumulate in the human body, when we eat the fish. The value of our idea lays in the innovative way, we will, remove the microplastic completely. Using only the flow energy and natural inspired components our filter can not only remove more microplastic than the current products, but they will also be saving the fish farmers from using electricity. Hereby, providing the fish farmers with a cheaper and more sustainable production and a more clean product to sell!.. Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

ReNew Cafe

J.F.T. - JellyFish Team wrote: Starting from the economical part, our idea concerns to consider private funders who might be interested in being associated with the idea of the repair cafè or might gain some other benefits by funding it. Private funders may be: companies selling tools for repairers: a growth of the repair community means more people interested in tools. Social cooperative working for the re-integration of jailed/disable/socially disadvantaged people might be interested in having repairers who can teach them a new skill they can spend on the market. Green tech companies who want to find a new way to promote themselves (e. G. Companies working with renewables)... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Renewable gas for industrial process heat

Meva Energy provides modularized and pre-manufactured turn-key gasification systems to generate renewable industrial gas or power based on small fraction fuels. The technology converts solid biomass to renewable biogas or to combined heat and power (CHP). The plant technology offers a small-scale decentralized and circular energy system which enables gas or CHP production with very high efficiencies and a minimum of distribution and parasitic losses. The innovation was created with the intention of improving air quality, reducing fossil fuel-based emissions, improve soil quality as well as to inspire and promote renewable and circular solutions.

RENS Sneaker wrote: The world creates over 2. 5 million tons of coffee waste per year and only 5% of those are recycled while the rest is dumped into landfills. At the same time, by the year 2050, there will be more plastic in the ocean than there will be fish. Rens is the world’s first sneaker made from both coffee and plastic waste...
