Sustainable cosmetic ingredients

Alternative Plants wrote: Alternative plants produces cosmetic active ingredients using plant stem cell cultures from medicinal plants that are rare, endangered or are difficult to gather in the wild. By growing batches of plant cells from only a tiny wild sample, we make the inaccessible accessible – our technology is the only way how to access beneficial substances produced by endangered plants. Our technology is scalable to consistent production in industrial bioreactors.

Tripling the energy output of solar panels

Sunovate wrote: Sunovate is a combined solar thermal and pv technology (pvt) that has been designed to provide a renewable solution for the heating and cooling demand that accounts for ~43% of final energy consumption globally. The sunovate pvt system has been designed to service this heat requirement and produce renewable electricity and does this by boosting the output of pv panels by 300%. The sunovate technology maximizes the energy output from solar panels, providing buildings and businesses with heat as well as electricity. It has been intentionally designed to integrate with existing solar panels to redirect the heat from the panels for use in space, water, process and pool heating...

AirQualityTree wrote: Aqt is an interactive modular sensor array coupled with artificial intelligence and machine learning that can be used for diagnosing and solving indoor microclimate problems. We can easy adapt to any needs the user might have. We can use as much sensors as we need or want with our system. The results are not entirely limited to sensors since we are using artificial intelligence as well - we are forming a cloud of data with different possibilities and solutions for each problem. We are building an event – solution database based on user interactions with the system. Modular means that we can expand our sensor array at any point with ease...
