We produce fuel and grill briquette

RioRE Briquette wrote: Our aim is to produce fuel and grill briquette from raspberry biological waste, and correspondingly engage local population in collecting such waste. Briquettes. Are cheap, and they burn longer than wood. Wood is the main heating source in the western serbia, which leads to deforestation in this region. Forest area has decreased by 20% in the last 10 years. Production of briquette does not include timber – which is an obvious advantage. Economically speaking, usage of biomass for production of briquette that can be used for thermo-energetic purposes is the most cost-effective source of renewable energy...

Access to clean water in the Amazon

Amana Katu wrote: Water in the amazon is a paradox: while the region has abundant rainfall and freshwater, over 10 million people lack access tomclean water in the brazilian amazon. Large public water systems are too costly and complex to efficiently reach urban slum areas and riverside communities, where uncollected rainwater causes floods and spreads disease. . As a social business, amana katu trains and employs at-risk youth from regional ngo movimento república de emaús to develop and build low-cost, sustainable rainwater collection and purification systems for use in homes and agriculture, and sell them through an e-commerce platform with a 5-for-1 business model - every 5 systems sold, 1 is donated to a low-income family with no access to water...

Food waste and washwater treatment

OceaniCO2 wrote: Cruise ship companies face enormous fines when not complying to international regulations for food waste and washwater discharge. In light of the imo 2020 regulations for sulfur emissions, food waste and water discharges, oceanico provides a real time, on-board, and energy self-sufficient solution. We treat food waste and sulfur-containing scrubber waters and, at the same time, produce electricity and green sulfur fertilizer. In oceanico, we believe in offering the most fitting and eco-friendly solution, while producing marketable byproducts... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

HydroPlat

HydroPlat wrote: Hydrogen cars are relatively expensive to manufacture because they require the use of a rare substance as a catalyst. The platinum electrocatalyst that is used is not only expensive but can also be impure. Hydroplat is a unique technology that will replace this platinum electrocatalyst in hydrogen cars with the help of biomass. The biomass is sulfur and nitrogen dual-doped nanomaterials that were made from genetically modified cyanobacteria. Hydrogen cars are much better than electric cars because they will reduce carbon emissions by 40% globally and they can go more miles for one fill-up. Than electric cars. Our technology is cost-effective and efficient... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Plant-based alternatives to meat

Beyond Meat creates plant-based burgers, sausages, crumbles, and other products made directly from simple plant-based ingredients. By shifting from animal to plant-based meat the company aims to solve four growing issues attributed to livestock production: human health, climate change, constraints on natural resources and animal welfare. A life-cycle assessment of the Beyond Burger suggested that compared to an equivalent beef burger, it generates 90% less greenhouse gas emissions, requires 46% less energy, use 99% less water and has 93% less impact on land use.

Turn waste to clean energy

Clean Planet wrote: We process different types of waste into highly flammable gas. We use the gas to generate steam for different applications. Including electricity, drying, hospital sterilizing heating and cleaning. Different waste feed stock leaves different residue. Plastic leaves nothing, rubber leaves black carbon safe material for road construction, aggro-waste like sugarcane and maize stalk leave. Char which is used to make briquettes, this is a clean fuel for cooking and barbecue application. No residue ever goes to the landfill if our innovation is implemented. No waste is transported to a landfill very far from where it was generated. We do not store waste at all. Waste will be processed to energy in our portable unit...

Pyrocycle

Pyrocycle wrote: Pyrocycle developed a new patent pending, cost-effective and environmentally friendly thermochemical process for recycling the end-of-life electronic waste. A unique approach that can recycle the electronic waste without toxic emissions or landfill, by recovering the base metals like copper and the precious metals like gold; and also by decontaminating the plastics that contain high levels of toxic flame retardants, whose releases cause environmental and human health concerns, and transform these plastics to value-added products like: oil and carbon...
