Edible Water

Nature:1 Carbon : 0 wrote: This project, named as the ooho project by rodrigo garcia gonzalez and pierre paslier, came to life in london in 2013 and was defined as the project of the future by 949 investors and supported by the eu. The aim of this project is to reduce or even finish the consumption of plastic bottles, glasses and types. While only 20% of the plastic bottles and species produced in the world are recycled, most of them damage the oceans and soil for hundreds of years. Recycling is achieved by consuming more energy than bottle production in the 20% recycled part. The ooho project was named notpla after the support it received and the researches continued in the laboratory... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Sustainable Packaging made from Jute

PackItGreen wrote: Plastics and synthetic materials harm our environment since decades and put a strain on the whole ecosystem and every individual. With the developing e-commerce sector we are facing another problem of too much plastic waste in packaging. Packitgreen develops and provides insulating packaging made from jute as a sustainable alternative to styrofoam. As b2b business we offer our packaging solution to online-shop providers, who sell and ship sensible goods e. G. Food to the end customer. These goods have to comply with certain temperature values during their transport to the customer. Therefore many sellers use styrofoam as a simple yet cheap packaging solution.

Integration of energy storage from kW to MW

The solutions aims to support energy storage technology. Energy storage is made more efficient by the proposed standardization from the company. The application range is wide, allowing for standardization to be used in more cases. There is also a proposal for energy storage system farms. Increased storage can enable more intermittent renewable energy to be produced.

Enabling greener electrical grids

Sensero wrote: Losses in the electrical power grid represent one of the biggest expenses for grid operators - nearly € 205 million yearly in norway alone. Power grid operators currently lack the information and the tools to know where these losses occur. . At the same time, 200 million sensors are being implemented in the grid and in homes all over europe, at an investment cost of € 45 billion. These sensors produce vast amounts of data which contain currently hidden and valuable information. . However, there is a huge gap in the market between the available data and the tools needed to leverage it into valuable information. ... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Calidi: energy alternative

La Roca wrote: The geological materials remain at a stable temperature, regardless of the season or weather conditions. This geothermal stability is what allows the subsoil to be considerably cooler in summer than the outside environment, a particular case being spain at ground temperature (around 15 °) at depths of more than 5 meters is relatively high. So a heat pump extracts thermal energy from the ground in winter by transferring it to the interior, while in summer it extracts heat from the interior and returns it to the subsoil. The development of a geothermal heat pump is heat capture on one side of the circuit, to release it on the other... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Second hand cool, charity stores, pop-up stores and hand-me-downs is not able to keep up with the demand created for fast fashion by the large retailers. There are solutions offered to symptoms but not the root of the problem. We are building a scalable long term solution, which empowers sustainable producers, teaches children about it and making reuse the standard by normalising the purchase behaviour of adults. Kindby is the start of this transformation. . Kindby is an online store, on which you can buy new and used as well as rent sustainably produced baby clothing and accessories...
