CO2 Calculator

CO2 Calculator wrote: Briefly summarized: we have looked at how we can make this mindset more visible to the public while reducing the upcoming problem of introducing the co2 tax to the citizen. Our idea is an app and an associated power / energy / co2 meter for the household. The app uses existing databases (miles & more, db card, paypack, health app), that mean those that already track our behavior. Via the app, the user receives specific offers from our partner companies / institutions (engineering companies, bmu, transport companies) on how to reduce their co2 consumption and thus also save taxes. So an intelligent system, which follows the everyday life of a person and always shows the potential for improvement... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Internet of energy

UGrid wrote: Over the last decade, our energy grids have seen significant changes. Just look around! we have more weather-dependent generation based on renewables, more evs with infrastructure for them. . But all this requires more of distributed balancing capacity, too. Ugrid’s distributed virtual power plant is going to address this problem. . Let us introduce a smart micro inverter with balancing capacity, iot based grid controller and cloud-based grid management system (gms). The inverter and the controller can be a part of a solar, wind or battery storage power system providing an ability for the owners to sell their generation and balancing capacity to the grid. Suppliers, aggregators, and new utility companies are the main users of gms. ... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Grey Tech wrote: We offer a solution towards water management with a different concept since we’re focusing primarily on wastewater. Given the social norm and failure to control the consumption of individuals we are focusing on a solution that would cater to the wastewater that is being generated by an average household. The concept is to tap out the wastewater component which is less toxic and can be reused. This includes wastewater originating from toilets (excluding human waste), bathtubs, kitchens sinks, laundry areas, generally called as greywater. Greywater if treated can be reused for several purposes i. E. Toilet flushes, landscaping, laundry, organic farming to name a few... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Mobile solar transport solutions

TRAILAR wrote: Trailar provides a greener, more cost efficient, urban friendly delivery solution that can revolutionize the transport sector. An industry first, we’ve taken everyday vehicles and added cutting edge solar technology to harness the sun’s energy and reduce the impact of each vehicle journey. We affix light weight, aerodynamic solar mats to the vehicle roof space, which is then connected to the vehicle battery, and alternator via a charge controller. Instead of the engine being used to top up the battery and power ancillary equipment on the vehicle such as tail-lifts, refrigeration and tracking devices, we use the harvested energy to power ancillary equipment...
