Turning useless sludge to useful raw materials

Byeplastic wrote: Byeplastic will be. Activated mainly in a wastewater treatment plant. Where we can exploit the useless sewage sludge to produce a raw material used by bioplastic manufacturers. The whole process outweighs the advantages of other kinds of plastic production as it can reduce the co2 emissions during the production and hence downgrade the importance of petroleum to our lives. It is also costless and biodegradable thanks to its raw material. Our target is to be drastic to pitch in the climate change, changing the plastic!.. Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

We convert plastic waste

Mega Gas wrote: People all over the world use fuels everyday to survive and move. Traditional forms of fuels comprise biomass and fossil fuels. These fuels forms have been over strained beyond limits, exploitation of biomass fuels have degraded eco system. This leads to global warming and hence introducing new clean fuels into use to replace dependence on traditional fuels with the hope of reducing global warming and improving health of majority of population who have no access to fuels. The use of biomass fuels leads to indoor pollution that kills over four million annually according to world health organization. Plastic waste is also a big menace world wide, even now we have the island of plastic in the pacific ocean... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Sustainable passive cooling house

Sustainable Passive Cooling wrote: Our solution tackles extreme weather events; extreme temperatures to be exact, either it be low extremes or high. The solution constitutes two phases: spreading awareness regarding environmental and economic damages related to using conventional cooling/heating systems, then introducing new approaches of eco-friendly cooling/heating techniques. The first phase consists of launching awareness campaigns through social media and field visits. Extreme temperature leads to over consumption of energy, causing an increase in levels of co2, further exasperating the surge in temperature; in the second phase we aim to cool houses passively without the continuous use of conventional air conditioning systems...

Optimizing the Public Transportation

Ariadne wrote: Ariadne aims to optimise the use of public transportation by providing useful information like the exits & nearby compartments in the train to their destination so that the passengers have a much more efficient way to use the public transportation services. This would aid in the implementation of the policies in the pipelines of many modern cities like paris, london, brussels, hamburg, etc to eliminate the use of polluting private vehicles from the cities. . The modern day cities are fighting the air and noise pollution caused by the extensive use of private vehicles in the city. Some of the cities like paris, brussels, jakarta have banned the use of private vehicles in parts of the city centre or for limited periods of time... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

MIL develops alternative renewable energy

Murphy Inventions Limited (MIL) wrote: Electa marine fluid is a twin counter rotating vertical axis fluid driven turbine for the production of hydraulic electricity from currents. It utilises fluid dynamics to harness kinetic energy from ocean currents in a discreet and environmentally friendly manner. Mil aim to develop electa and harness constant energy from ocean currents in order to supply it directly to the irish and european grid systems through inter-connectors. It is a proposal to reduce direct dependence on oil/ coal/ nuclear energy production. Electa will provide constant 24/7 sustainable supply (non-intermittent electricity)...

Carefree urban cycling

Viola wrote: I love cycling, just as much as you do. But ever since my beloved ride got stolen, i get this strong sense of fear every time i lock my bike in a public space, that this one will be stolen as well. No matter how expensive and sturdy the lock i use, it’s there. We figured out that the best way to secure a bike is not to invent another useless, heavy and bulky lock, but to create the fort knox of bike racks. And so we did it. We designed a smart rack that acts as a protective cage around your bike - a sort of safe haven. Once it's locked, your bike is immovable. No more heavy portable locks, no more dirty hands, only convenience and peace of mind... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad
