Decentralised solar thermal system for industries

Traditionally, industries use electricity, high speed diesel or furnace oil to achieve process heat temperatures ranging from 70 to 120 °C. Aspiration Energy has developed a solution to meet low and mid temperature process heat demand through decentralized energy generation based on a solar thermal system. Although solar collectors generally heat up to about 70°C, Aspiration’s innovations in fluid pressure, as well as system and module design, have been able to achieve temperatures of up to 120 °C.

Changing the game of recycling

Mobius Recycling wrote: Nowadays, we as humans use about 150% of the resources the world has to offer to us. Obviously, this has to change, and recycling materials in a valuable way is a crucial factor on the road to sustainability. Many business sectors, for example the textile, wood, plastics and construction industry are lacking in that department. . Our goal is to establish a global internet platform for recycling and up-cycling of secondary materials. Mobius connects companies that want to get rid of secondary materials or by-products with those that can use these materials as a resource to create something new...

Videtonplacard.com wrote: Did you know that, on average, a household spent about € 1500 on clothes for a first child up to 3 years old? clothes worn only a few times and the child grows up very fastly . So these clothes could potentially serve to other children! however, the global textile industry produces 20% of global wastewater and 10% of global carbon emissions, more than all emissions from international flights and shipping. Thinking about these facts, i decided to create a mauritian platform to sell / buy / exchange or donate clothes: videtonplacard. Com, individuals can post their ads after creating an account. Videtonplacard. Com is the obvious answer to a consumption mode that is harmful for the planet... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Making potty-training fun for everybody

RoPotty wrote: In 1950-s 95% of children where potty trained by the age of 1,5 years. Today, children in the developed world wear diapers until 3 years on average. By reducing this age we save over a billion disposable diapers a year, that would otherwise end up in landfill. Ropotty is a special potty-training device that parents can rent to teach their toddlers how to use the toilet. Making the potty exiting, educating and fun for children, helps the parents to save a lot of time, nerves and energy. We are building a renting system. That means parents don’t have to worry any more about what do to with the potty after their child is trained. They can just send it back to us and we will use it again...

Geothermal building cooling system

Geothermal Cooling System by Green India Building Systems and Services Pvt. Ltd. (GIBSS) is an innovative technology that replaces the rejection of heat to ambient air in the conventional systems by the rejection of heat to ground. In conventional air-conditioning systems, the cooling efficiency depends on atmospheric temperature. If the atmospheric temperatures are higher, efficiency of the air-conditioning system is lower and vice versa. The key innovation behind Geothermal Cooling System is the designing of a heat exchanger system that uses the earth temperature, which is much lower than atmospheric temperature to reject the heat. Lower temperatures significantly improve the efficiencies of the air-conditioning systems.
