Waste to feed solutions

Weendle wrote: Everything we do is to empower people to live in dignity, by rethinking and implementing innovative waste solutions. In weendle, we transform waste into feedstock with exceptionally high protein and fat content. This highly scalable and rapid process is carried out by our army of black soldier fly larvae. These exceptional creatures in combination with the skills and knowledge of our human agents, reka gugan and mathieu chaix-bar have the ability to prove that waste could and in fact, should be perceived as food/feed. Our business case to bring this mix into the market of africa will shed light on how we intend to achieve this. Hungry for more? stay tuned!.. Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Regenerate Australia

Regenerate Australia wrote: Carbon sync enables transformational change in agricultural landscape management. This change results in the regeneration of ecosystems, renewal and repopulation of rural communities, remineralisation of food a fibre products and carbon sequestration potential so significant that it could bring australia to net zero emissions in as little as 20 years when adopted at scale. This is all achieved with exisiting, proven technology while at the same time producing food and fibre. This technology is called regenerative agriculture...

Sengy - energy saving app

Sengy wrote: Sengy is a self-optimizing app which is designed as a climate change fighting game to motivate customers to save energy in their household. Not only you get a detailed look into your energy statistics of the past based on accurate data from your smart meter. You can actively be a part of weekly, monthly or seasonal challenges, quizzes and surveys to lower your energy consumption. Take a quiz to learn interesting facts about how and what amount of energy you can save, or search for an opponent to play with (e. G. Flat at the same size in m2, in people living in the household, or in a 2km radius), organize collective actions for pv in apartment buildings... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

BioCircle-tech

BioCircle-tech wrote: We are producing a novel and natural spent coffee-based bio product, easily applied as a supplement for improved performances of animal feeds. Spent coffee grounds are residues that left behind in a quantities measurable in millions of tons, that mostly end up in landfill. We collect them and process within green technology, based on a unique combination of enzymatic and bacterial fermentation activity. The resulting product is enriched with physiologically essential compounds and exempted of anti-nutrients. It is several-fold health beneficial, being mainly intended for ruminants and highly recommended in lactating cows diet for improving the milk quality and reducing the risks of mastitis infections...

ReFunghi

ReFunghi wrote: Refunghi is a city lab and community project in the field of sustainable product design and urban food production. It wants to bring together people with different cultural and disciplinary backgrounds. To fight the global climate crisis, we need to change urban life substantially. With refunghi we want to focus on mushrooms which can not only be used as a sustainable source of proteins but also for ecofriendly materials like alternatives for plastics or vegan leather. Mushrooms can be grown under urban conditions and on supposed waste like coffee grounds, which is another benefit for a more efficient use of our limited resources...

Mobile contaminated soil cleaning device

Biovala wrote: Our vision is to create container size, 30 cub. M. Capacity, mobile bioreactor (contaminated soil cleaning device). At the moment we have small scale lab prototype. So how it works?. We excavate contaminated soil and load it to the reactor, which can be brought in site by truck. Soil is held under circum conditions in the reactor with specialy selected bacterial strains. After 2-4 weeks soil is cleaned and can be brought back, from where it was taken... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

BikeBuddy

Attractive Cyclists wrote: We gathered extensive geographical data from the openstreetmap, including the positions of street lights and tram tracks in the city of heidelberg. Using the openrouteservice, we generated various routes within heidelberg and analysed their properties with regard to these features. As a proof of concept, we implemented an application that can generate three routes between two points: the shortest one, the one with the highest proportion of illumination, and the one with the smallest intersection with the tram tracks. As a motivational gimmick, the amount of co2 saved by not using an (average) car for this distance is displayed... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon
