Bio-Urja: low cost dry anerobic digestor

BioUrja is an efficient ready-to-assemble biogas generator from waste with remote monitoring system. Apart from producing biogas to replace fossil fuels, you also get organic manure as the byproduct. In addition, this relieves the need to treat hazardous human waste. BioUrja is an easy to setup solution with a two year payback time. The system provides biogas, avoiding emissions through fossil-fuels that would be used instead.

Balancers of wind farms' surplus energy

EneStor wrote: There are times when the wind farms produce too much of an electricity than it was forecast. If this happens, they have to pay a fine for the balancing services for an imbalance they have caused. This is where the e-vehicles kick in and collectively start charging by absorbing the surplus energy from the wind farms at night. In order to make this work on the spot, enestor plays a vital role to notify an ev owner by sending a signal to one’s e-vehicle to discharge whenever the market price rises above the price e-vehicle’s owner buys the electricity for...

Decentralised solar thermal system for industries

Traditionally, industries use electricity, high speed diesel or furnace oil to achieve process heat temperatures ranging from 70 to 120 °C. Aspiration Energy has developed a solution to meet low and mid temperature process heat demand through decentralized energy generation based on a solar thermal system. Although solar collectors generally heat up to about 70°C, Aspiration’s innovations in fluid pressure, as well as system and module design, have been able to achieve temperatures of up to 120 °C.

Changing the game of recycling

Mobius Recycling wrote: Nowadays, we as humans use about 150% of the resources the world has to offer to us. Obviously, this has to change, and recycling materials in a valuable way is a crucial factor on the road to sustainability. Many business sectors, for example the textile, wood, plastics and construction industry are lacking in that department. . Our goal is to establish a global internet platform for recycling and up-cycling of secondary materials. Mobius connects companies that want to get rid of secondary materials or by-products with those that can use these materials as a resource to create something new...
