BioMatas

BioMatas wrote: Biomatas is a clean, practical and smart seperated food waste collection system for more populated areas of the city. Citizen gets special box (5-10 l). Boxes are marked, covered and without plastic disposable bags inside. After box is full with kitchen (food) waste, citizen brings full one to biomatas. Biomatas is a closed unit reminiscent of a closet with separate closed shelves for each box. Biomatas is equiped with sensor, and data is send to platform. To biomatas citizen scans, puts the covered box to the right place and picks the empty clean box (now or later). You do not need to empty it, shake the box yourself, or wash it later. You will have an empty, clean box for future use... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Ecoscuola Challenge

Ecoscuola Challenge wrote: We, a group of students and concerned citizens met for the first time at palermo’s climathon. We had one major concern in common; a desire to reduce green house gases. So we came up with an idea. We decided the best way to implement fundamental change was to start with the fundamental building blocks of learning. We decided to issue a direct challenge to our local schools. Our solution was to create the ecoscuola challenge, a competition open to all schools in palermo to encourage them to do their part to reduce co2 emissions and waste. Our idea was simple...

Infrastructure for next generation of wind turbines

As wind turbines increase in height, transportation poses considerable problems given that base diameters for 100+ meter towers exceed 4.3 meters and the limit for transport width in most parts of the USA and the EU. Furthermore, conventional steel tower constructions get dramatically more expensive with height due to the increasing need for thicker walls. In order to make significant returns on wind technology investments, organizations will need to drastically improve both costs and efficiency. Modvion´s module technology enables significantly decreased cost, efficient transportation and streamlined installation of towers exceeding 120 m.

Waste to energy

JSP wrote: Jsp is involved in development of microbial fuel cell (mfc) technology to treat textile effluent and generate energy in terms of electricity. At present the target segment is the dyeing industry. We aim to target the small dyeing units who cannot afford the large common effluent treatment plants (cetps). Uniqueness of our technology: • energy positive effluent treatment technology – net zero opex, & carbon neutral process . • typical payback time is 5 years, contributed by: energy savings, reduction in excess sludge quantity and tax/ carbon credits. • suitable even for small installations, with organic load as low as 100 kg bod per day. • our product can be scaled up/down based on the requirements, with minimal maintenance...
