Natural Wood Protection

Pinelinite wrote: Pinelinite has been developed as a direct replacement for creosote, creocote and other toxic wood treatments. Pinelinite is 100% natural and non toxic and environmentally friendly. It requires zero energy consumption to produce gate to gate. The treatment uses 100% natural and sustainable materials in its production. Pinelinite also has zero ozone depleting voc's...

To Bee

To Bee wrote: Our solution is to create ecosytem service which will help to bring more bees into gauja national park area and they with the ability of pollinate flora will help to sustain the biological diversity. Moreover, we see it not just as placing bee hives in the park area but also creating system to take care of them. There we see local community as a crucial player - we will ensure course for local cesis inhabitants to learn basics about beekeeping and they will be the ones taking care of bee farm. In addition to that, gauja national park and cirulisi nature trails are popular attraction points for tourists... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Industrial high productivity CO2 recycling equipment

NeoCarbons wrote: Migration from fossils means alternative ways of sourcing raw materials. Since all carbon chains, whether for foods, feeds, chemical industries, come from co2, neocarbons is proposing a patented equipment that can capture and transform co2 from industrial sources into high value chemicals, on a real time basis (zero net), competitively, profitably and in respect of sustainable development principles. On a 5 m2 footprint the solution recycles 165 tons of co2 annually; it is conceived to be easily upscaled into industrial production plants in order to tap to tap the 20 gt of industrial co2 rich gaseous effluents.

Grain storage monitoring

Crover wrote: Cereal grains are the basis of staple food, yet post-harvest losses during long-term storage are exceptionally high, above 20%, making storage the single phase from harvest to final product with the highest losses. This is responsible for about 6% of total greenhouse gas emissions from food waste. Crover is the first robotic device able to ‘swim’ through grains stored in bulk and autonomously monitor their conditions, helping grain operators like farmers and grain merchants maintain the quality of their stock...

City exploration with an augmented reality

ExploreThis wrote: If you are lucky enough that when getting ready to take a trip you have stumbled upon explorethis and adventurous enough to try it, you might just have a great experience. When walking the streets of the city you are visiting you notice the familiar logo thats on a tile fixed on the ground, you take out the application and view the tile through the screen, then the ar (augmented reality) kicks in and you are able to take a 360 view and see interesting objects to visit every direction and the distances all around you. You can zoom-in/zoom-out to regulate how far are the objects as well as set the interesting object types... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Hike&Bike

Hike&Bike wrote: Hike&bike provides a solution to the current nature mobility problem where the trails are scattered between many different platforms and provide only part of the information needed for a great hike or a bike ride. The solution would unite the currently available routes in a single user and mobile-friendly plugin/app, which allows the user to select their preferred difficulty level, mobility solution, read and leave reviews. The idea also relates to the current challenges faced by the cēsis city where the city center is poorly connected with its periphery and thereby it is a challenge to reach some of it's best-known nature tourism spots...

Suncrowd

suncrowd wrote: We use crowd-financing to install solar panels on a customers roof for free. In turn, the customer has to draw electricity directly from suncrowd at a competitive price (cheaper or equal to grid price). With these earnings, we are able to pay back an interest rate to the crowd and still make profit. . We will collect the money through a modern web plattform, and use the plattform as a marketing channel at the same time. Energy consumers will be able to monitor their bills and statistics in real time. . In the end, our goal is to lower the barriers for using solar power and bring solar power to its full potential...
