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

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

Green Urban Design

GUD wrote: Our solution is composed of two parts, first a shed that is made of timber frames and climbing ivy trees, every unit is composed of five frames, with every unit being positioned 10 meters away from the next one. This part of our solution provides shade and decreases co2 due to the ivy presence. The second part of the solution constitutes of walls that are made of mud and are 9 meters long , 3-2 meters wide, these walls contain green panels, small fans with filters, it also contains fenestrations of variable sizes, the side that is facing wind is wider than the opposite side. These fenestrationcool the air by blocking wind movement and creating counter currents that are cooler and more purified... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

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...

Greenpeat organice resource

HBI S.r.l wrote: Hbi s. R. L. Exploits the hydrothermal conversion (htc) technology, to directly convert wet. Biodegradable waste in greenpeat. Greenpeat is a carbonaceous material, that can be used. For renewable energy production, or as soil improver: greenpeat increases the productivity of the land by 30%, reducing the need of water and of fertilizes. In this way greenpeat could be a valid substitute of fossil carbon (normally used for the production of thermal and electrical energy) and of fossil peat. However hbi strength is also in the technology used to produce greenpeat. This treatment is extremely more efficient and clean, if compared to the common technologies applied to wet organic substrates, such as composting or anaerobic digestion...
