Cloop

Cloop wrote: Cloop provides opportunities for underprivileged communities (such as the urban poor, women, and persons with disabilities) to earn additional income while also reducing the amount of plastic waste reaching landfills and waterways. Cloop creates micro-enterprises in these communities and equips them with relatively low-cost and easy-to-use plastic recycling technology. Called cloopcenters, these community micro-enterprises are partnered with other enterprises in the private and public sector, who provide their plastic waste. This is processed through the cloopcenter and sold back to these enterprises in the form of upcycled plastic products... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Clean combustion of fuel in boilers

Clean Combustion REAEGR wrote: Our goal is to mitigate climate change by producing clean energy from biomass without of harmful air pollutants such as nox. One of the main sources of harmful air pollutants such as nox is biomass boilers of thermal power generation stations. They cannot burn fuel in the boilers without excess of outdoor air but excess of oxygen in zone of fuel combustion create harmful air pollutants such as nox. We propose them to use our a low cost devices under tread mark reaegr that allows keeping sustainable regime of clean combustion of fuel close with the stoichiometric. It means significant reduction of nox formation and savings of energy, lower co2 emissions and lower operation and maintenance costs of the boilers... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

PedalaMI wrote: Yezers team wants to develop a new software ecosystem (composed by a web platform and a mobile app) called “pedalami”, that can help municipalities developing sustainable mobility by encouraging the use of bicycles in cities and by raising funds for cycling paths through an innovative business model, founded on cooperation between public and private companies. The web platform of “pedalami” involves private companies for the financing of the construction project. Through our platform, companies can acquire unconventional advertising spaces on the cycle paths (existing or in construction). Those spaces will be allocated with a dynamic price mechanism and with variable durations... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Air purifying/conditioning from the sun

Sun for Clean Air wrote: The idea of business presents an air conditioning installation that efficiently uses. Solar energy, reduces air pollution and produces energy in the form of hot water. The use of the installation will be imposed by the advantages it presents compared to air conditioning systems existing on the market: it does not consume electricity, uses a renewable energy source, simultaneously produces hot water, sterilizes the air thermally, retains the solid and liquid impurities in water,. During functioning the installation does not produce co2 or other gases. It can achieve the climatization of a locality. It is scalable from 1 kw to 100 kw...

Utilisation of juice pulp waste

Pulpy Crisps wrote: As young people studying in the field of biology and caring about the environment, we discovered a great opportunity to reduce the waste from juice production by implementing the thrown out pulp in a fruity desert. It will be a great healthy alternative to the existing unhealthy snacks. At the same time our idea will help with the development of the circular economy and the sustainability in our country. This is why we are motivated to further develop our idea and bring it to life!.. Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

HomeShield wrote: Natural disasters and climate change have a catastrophic impact on infrastructure, economy, society and human lives. Without defining a building’s resilience factor and conducting a risk assessment, property owners are unaware of the natural disasters’ risk and unprepared to face it. Homeshield e-platform helps in rating the property's vulnerability (or resistance) towards natural disasters. Feeding with data the e-platform will a)result in a property’s risk percentage as well as b)provide a way to reduce risk and damage in the event of natural disaster, speed up recovery and potentially obtain insurance cover more easily and affordably...
