Stirling engine low-temperature electricity generation

Cool Energy have developed a low-temperature Stirling engine for distributed, on-site heat-to-electricity applications. Liquid or gas heat streams are converted into mechanical energy to produce electricity. According to Cool Energy, the system differs from other Stirling engines in that it is optimized to run at lower input heat temperatures than previous engines (150 °C to 400 °C fluids or gas up to 700 °C). The engines are a new approach to the well-known Stirling cycle, employing a new engine configuration, low-cost materials, non-combustion, self-lubricating components, a nitrogen working gas, and long service life.

Sustainable kitchens

Environmentally fella wrote: Sustainable kitchens have a solar cooker, a solar heater for water as well as a solar dryer for fruits and vegetables. These devices are environmentally friendly because of their use of renewable energy, whereby they convert solar energy into heat, as well as being relatively affordable, another plus is that this kitchen employs a simple technology that can be used in refugee camps, in addition to it's variable sizes. It can also assist in creating extra income resources through the production and selling of dried foods. Part of our solution also involves carrying out awareness campaigns for citizens on how to use these kitchens and on environmental conservation... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Bio - Alkanol Gel Fuel

Bio - Alkanol Gel Fuel wrote: It is estimated that in kenya, biomass fuels account for more than 90% of primary energy supply regardless of the adverse effects it has on the environment. Bio-alkanol gel is a thick liquid fuel which is a mixture of alkanol, cellulose and water. It’s an alternative biofuel which has been innovated so as to reduce kenya’s reliance on imported petroleum based products. Exploitation of sugars in mango,banana,watermelon,orange and papaya fruit peelings through microbial fermentation and egg shells as a source of bio-fuel is a novel undertaking. The conversion of fruit peeling cellulose biomass into cellulosic-alkanol and egg shells into calcium acetate (gelling agent) is an innovative way of turning waste into wealth. ...

Rovuma Aquaponics wrote: Rovuma aquaponics produce organic vegetable and fish from combination of two sustainable system, the aquaculture and hydroponics, to respond the high food demand. This system basically uses water, light, feed given to the aquatic animals, and electricity to pump the water. The vegetables plants are grown in hydroponics, and the fish is raised in an aquaculture system. The fish is fed and the excrete waster is converted by beneficial bacteria to nutrients that the plants use. In consuming these nutrients, the plants help to purify the water which is then supplied to the fish... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Regreening the Desert Training Centre

Regenerative Agriculture Sudan wrote: A training and demonstration site that teaches herding communities and individuals how to produce pastures from desert land using only their livestock and rain. This process of regreening the desert was pioneered by allan savory and is known as holistic planned grazing. It fights desertification all the while sequestering massive amounts of co2. The training centre will seek to 1) spread the practice of these sustainable grazing methods, 2) incubate projects implementing these methods, and 3) provide clients with a promising export market for livestock products abroad, where climate-friendly meat and produce are quickly becoming a trend...
