Organic waste to fertilizer

Grow It Bio wrote: No more organic waste, no more chemical fertilizers. Organic farming and gardening is not only growing trend, but the only way to ensure sustainable food production and healthy eco-system. Organic waste from food and food production is full of nutrients that can be utilized to grow more food and plants organically. Grow it bio will not only produce organic fertilizers by recycling this waste, but will drive revolution in organic farming and horticulture with organic product portfolio sourced sustainably. Controversies around chemical pesticides&fertilizers and expected ban on glyphosate is likely to trigger this revolution... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

City-integrated bike sharing platform

Donkey Republic developed and deployed a hub-centric bike sharing platform. The hub-centric model uses designated parking locations for the pick-up and drop-off of rentable bikes. A hub is defined by the GPS coordinates of a point and a radius (e.g. 10 meters) around that point within which riders can drop off a bike. This allows local authorities to control the use of public space, easily monitor locations and influence fleet distribution and growth. Users can count on bikes being available at specific locations. The Donkey Republic system is enabled by the communication between a mobile app and an electronic ring lock placed on the bike, via a low energy Bluetooth connection.

Car-free Aarhus city center

Group two many cars in Aarhus wrote: Today cars can drive freely into the city, we propose that we make a car free zone in the city, but still giving the people flexible transportation options to get in and around the city. We propose that the city of aarhus adapt and introduce the concept of “park and ride” (p+r). P+r is a concept where the cars park outside the city in a parking house and use other more sustainably types of transportation to get into and around the city. The idea is that you park your car in one of the p+r-houses and use your fee as a ticket to other types of transportation. These transportation options could be public transportation like bus or light-rail, or the more flexible micromobility (light vehicles) options like bikes, e-bikes, e-scooters...

Zefiro

Zefiro wrote: Zefiro is a smartphone application that approaches the digital athlete and young people in the open air sport world. Zefiro tells the sportsman the closest place to him with the best climate where he can do the desired sport!. Zefiro's sports are divided into three categories: -water, for sports in the maritime and river areas;. -air, for flying activities;. -earth, for sport on the ground. In addition to this, zefiro helps companies to reduce co2: employees will be able to find out the best way to walk, run or cycle from home to work. “zefiro” is a light breeze, and spring messenger: this is what the application promises to do, pointing to the user places where the climate is no longer an obstacle but an ally...

NuReCo wrote: Currently, wastewater treatment companies (wwtc) use technologies to catch suspended particles (solids and molecules i. E. Nutrients, organic matter, fibres, and phosphate) included microplastics that are not yet neither environmental nor economic sustainable . Nureco’s team has developed a device, the mbb-fox® system, that makes this catch sustainable. Since, it does not need pre-treatments neither addition of extra chemicals other than the flocculant, and it generates reusable residues. Its technology is based on a unique mixing mode that facilitates the aggregating properties of a flocculant that clumps together suspended particles present in the sludge to form strong floc...

Speed control technology to capture slip-loss energy

Jiangsu Magnet Valley Technology Co., Ltd. Produces winding permanent magnetic coupling adjustable speed drive in motor system. It is a kind of non-contact permanent magnetic drive technology which consists of permanent magnetic rotor, winding rotor and the control system. When there is speed difference between the p-m rotor and winding internal rotor, induced electromotive force will be generated in the winding. By controlling the induced current, speed control and soft start can be realized. During power transmission, the slip power is converted into electric energy to be fedback and reused, which is efficient and energy saving; completely solving the problem of temperature rise of other variable speed regulating devices.
