LPG cylinder from composite material

Safari Techs PLT wrote: Current metal lpg cylinder in malaysia is 70 years old technology. It is heavy, high maintenance and has safety issue in the case of fire. The composite lpg cylinders made using fiber glass and has a lot of advantages such as 60 % lighter, maintenance free,and translucent. This lpg composite cylinder is the local technology which can prevent the gas leakage and improve the connection between cylinder and the nozzle for safety feature. Because of its light weight feature, the logistic cost will be reduced. In addition, less fuel will be needed to transport it thus reduces the carbon released to the environment. No maintenance needed means no chemical will be needed to refurbished the cylinders... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Stationless bike sharing system

Mobike Technology claims to have created the world's first intelligent shared bicycle model. The patented smart model integrates GPS and communication modules to use a new generation of internet of things (IoT) technology. Through the smartphone app, users can locate and use the nearest bicycle anytime, anywhere. The bikes are fully dockless in this instance. The sharing model encourages more transport options through means of bicycling instead of fossil-fueled transit.

Trash4cash

Tectrash wrote: Trash4cash. Our solution was developed during the 2019 climathon that took place in curitiba. The solution is providing trash4cash. The context would be to allow brazilian society the importance of separating garbage. Swap plastic waste for credit with urbs card. . . . . . . . Our solution is based on a model used in our city, which would be a recyclable waste exchange for basic basket, and courses, but our idea focuses only on plastic where our city has a considerable waste. The idea is to have a smart dumpster where the plastic weighs and where credit is generated for the public transport card.

We are planning to add a modern module on public surface transport of the cities. The main technology of the module can convert carbon dioxide to other compounds as well as generate electrical energy which could be used in a more valuable way. Our beach-market is vilnius, the biggest city of lithuania. There traffic jumps are a big issue, thus, while the public transport usually stops in them, they can clean the air in the urban locations where the need is the strongest one...

Efficient conversion of carbon dioxide

CO2atalyser wrote: Use of fossil fuel resulted in co2 growth in the atmosphere, which is one of the global problems is still waiting for its solution. Researchers are working on finding a catalyst for conversion of co2 to value-added organic chemicals with high efficiency. Efficient conversion of the co2 is a key challenge for the chemistry community. Co2 catalyser group is working on the same problem through electrochemical conversion of the co2. As an alternative of precious metal catalysts, we proposed to use naturally available mineral as an electrochemical catalyst. It can be applicable industrially because of economical advantages: low-cost, green technology. The main problem of our customers is finding cheaper and stable catalyst with the high ton/tof...

Gamifying recycling to educate consumers

Bingoing wrote: Contamination levels of recyclable waste are as high as 50% in some urban areas, resulting in increasing costs and penalties, and also lost opportunity for revenue. Compared to the 50% target set by eu for 2023, yield from recycling including energy recovery is currently at 34% for plastics - there's still a long way to go. We believe that one of the root causes of this situation is lack of proper awareness among household consumers, who are willing to do the right thing but require more knowledge and tools. We want to address this knowledge gap with a fun and exciting solution. Bingoing teaches consumers about better waste management habbits, with a fun, social and competitive set of games...
